Hi and thanks for watching, Yes it’s a learning curve with the new tarp for sure, I should have reconfigured it but I chose to stay out of the wind ! You and a few others have pointed out where to put the door Cheers Adrian

@@northumberlandmountainhopper It's a perfectly valid pitch - it's just not the best option in a storm. Fortunately you chose a sensible sheltered spot, unlike the TH-camrs who head for the windiest pitches in search of drama and clicks.

@@tullochgorum6323keep watching I will improve with the trailstar

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it It’s correct it’s a working forest but as lovers of the wild it’s hard not to be sad, as unlikely to return in our lifetime Cheers Adrian

Hi Craig thanks for watching, glad you liked it, I certainly need some practice with the new tarp, Think I will finish the winter by camping more in the woods as the weather is calmer ! Cheers Adrian

Hi Deka and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it, I need a bit of practice with that tarp but it looks good, the table, well I was surprised it’s a magic little table, Seam sealing a pain for sure but it does not take long Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, and your input, that’s a good idea for sure Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Pegs dear yes but light weight and strength come at a price, obviously these have now been refunded and I will find alternative pegs or just stick to the MSR ones which are good although heavy, Yes I should have sorted the tarp out but the wind was that bad I chanced it, you live and learn Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Sorry I haven’t but on of the commenters has and I have seen a few reviews on you tube, just do a search Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it I can report the pegs are fully refunded Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you like the location Table is magic, so light yet strong Cheers adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, you will have been hilli bound so safe I presume, I prefer my tarps, can’t help what you like, apparently the trail star will do winds, trouble is is the wind does a180 the tarp would take off, so tarps are not as safe for sure, unless you repeg as the wind changes Cheers Adrian

@northumberlandmountainhopper yeah wind whipped from ssw to sse very quickly! Nightmare in a tarp as I could see, not so bad in a tent 😀

Hi and thanks for watching, Certainly is, need strong tarp set up for an extended trip for sure Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching,glad you enjoyed it, the wind is normally bad up Easter/Wester for sure but the views are magic Northumberland at its finest Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it Cheers Adrian

@@northumberlandmountainhopper 👍

Hi and thanks for watching Now that’s a very welcome comment, wahey, Cheers Adrian

@ fantastic channel mate - keep up the good work- wheyyy heyyyy 😂👍

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, Think it’s just the pocket size You will have to check the link Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, bit of practice needed for this tarp but looks magic Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, Tarp certainly good just a bit of practice needed I will check the stakes out Cheers Adrian

Hi checked the pegs out Look good and not too dear at £14 for 4 but they want £14.99 postage from a uk warehouse, that’s Micky take, they still appear to have a top piece that must be glued in ? Even the odd Easton peg has the top come off !! Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, welcome, Glad you enjoyed the video, Cheers Adrian

Hi mick and thanks for watching, did you count lol, Glad you liked it Cheers Adrian

Hi Jimmy, thanks for watching, Yes seem really good, a bit of practice needed with it, but certainly better in the wind, Cheers Adrian

Hi Phil,thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, I was hoping for a easy time so I could practice with the tarp, it obviously has a few choices, the way I got it tight at the back was amazing for holding in the wind, Definitely my hill tarp, Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you liked it, Honestly the table was magic for its size, just what I needed Cheers Adrian

Hi Dave thanks for watching, glad you liked it, Seems a good bit of kit, bit of practice needed to get it all tight Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, certainly a good tarp, I got the back nice and tight, just need a bit more practice, the MSR cyclone pegs are my go to for grass soft soil,heavy at 36gr each but I want some strong nails for hard ground, like you say a few of each, those pegs have put me off two part pegs, Easton ? A few fails the same if you search online so looking like titanium nails one piece hopefully, I have 10 gr hooks so maybe look for lighter ones, Cheers Adrian

Hi mick, thanks for watching, Glad you liked it, I definitely need some practice with it but got the back great, then it wasn’t the weather to fiddle on !! I want a nice wind free camp to play !!!!! Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, no excuse for those pegs, rubbish. Torch I will work out the use Cheers Adrian

Hi Graham, thanks for watching, It is Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, And that side is near the border so alls good Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it, DD super light are great without doubt but this one is more wind resistant for my upcoming Scottish trip next year, not as versatile as a DD for sure as a large foot print, but when I pitch it correctly you can see how tight it goes Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching It is a special design, mind should be good the price of MLD stuff, Just a small knowledgeable company but good kit Cheers Adrian

@northumberlandmountainhopper aye thank you friend

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it, I have been googling Easton pegs and there have been batches where the top comes off ! So it’s going to be one piece pegs, Never had a problem with my MSR pegs the big cyclone are magic but 36gr each I wanted to lighten up for my Scottish trip Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Yes the potato looks great, more practice required, Table magic honestly great bit off kit Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, I have just emailed them details and a clip from the video, let’s see tomorrow Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Yes they are the original ones and would you believe I had them in 2005 !!!! I kid you not, never leak or fail, I also have the paclite trek from 2009 a bit longer but the tape is failing on that one, I always use them, And I now have the new ones ready for Scotland but it seems different material now, fingers crossed Cheers Adrian

@@northumberlandmountainhopper try not to put them in the washing machine mate.try to just wipe any dirt of with a clean damp cloth & you'll preserve the factory DWR treatment 👍

@@thegeordiefellwalker8878I have washed them a fair bit with Nikwax !!!

Hi and thanks for watching Correct it was out of the worst of the wind Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you liked it, may have to stick to woods and forest for the winter unless I can get a true forcast Cheers Adrian

@@waxer00 hi and thanks for watching You can lift the door yes, but you can also drop it as it has 5 equal panels so can make a tight pyramid, I just could not face chancing a repot h in the wind !!! I will improve as it was my first use Cheers Adrian

The door definitely needed lifting to get a decent taught pitch. For those conditions a mid oanal door would've given you much more protection. There's never any need for flapping and loose panels in a Trailstar. Nothing a bit of fettling wouldn't sort. Looked an excellent camp though.

@@rbreiff73hi and thanks for watching, it was the first time use, I was really happy with the back, more practice needed, but it just wasn’t the weather to fiddle ! Cheers Adrian

@northumberlandmountainhopper It's a brilliant, reliable shelter. I'm sure you'll love it. I've had mine pitched on top of munros in winds you couldn't stand up in and it was fine. Atb

Hi shaun thanks for watching, tarp stayed tight on the well pitched side, certainly up to Scotland, The pegs !!!!!!!! Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, No wahey or look at it !!! In this video, too windy and unpleasant Table is magic it really is Cheers Adrian

@@borderlad1064 hi and thanks for watching, Certainly looks and behaves good, I just need some practice with it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching The tarp really does the business I just need some practice Cheers Adrian

Hi Craig, thanks for watching, it is a special spot for sure, some say haunted, but creepy yes, but I felt ok there and will return, out now but to be honest I am not enjoying the long nights, I camp for views and scenery as well as chill out but not many views in the dark !!! Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it I am going to bivy there in the spring prior to the midge ! If you look at some of my comments asdf 789 where he tests various sawyer filters etc and they all show poor with the quality tester A link is in my description well worth it to monitor your filters Pure clear wins every time Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it, In my video where I test the tester, I tested my sawyer, it failed miserably, and I know I had never froze it as it was only used a few times in the forest, perhaps the peaty dirty water contaminated it, See video Also see comment off asdf789 in this video Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it, it’s some spot ! No warnings about freezing on the pure clear, but I won’t let it freeze, as how would I filter the mornings water ! The only drawback with this filter it drops unless you empty it, but a bag solves that. Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, It really is a special spot, Bush box was just the job for the evening. Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Will pass wishes on Cheers Adrian
