You’re very welcome. The person who I hiked with who owns the X-Mid 2 tent, has also ordered the Pro version which he’s excited about getting. Keep up the good work. ⛺️👍🏼😀
Excellent stuff Mr Wild Man. It's nice to see you giving your viewers a taste of some of the brands available in other countries. Also, pretty terrible about the tent thieves!
Nice one Barry - Again a difficult one to tackle as many reviewers only know the details about the tent that they are reviewing. Great to see that you are open minded regarding many different shelters and sleep systems..I have a little soft spot for Slingfin tents particularly the WindSaber (very smart design and 10.6mm poles but very thin fabrics, I mean too thin for me...). Tom
Thanks Tom. It’s funny as I was going to add the Slingfin SplitWing into this video, however I choose to mainly focus on those I saw on my recent trip. The WindSaber looks like a really nice tent. I notice though it only has one cross pole at only one end. So your obviously have to pitch this into the wind. Thanks for your review.
I use 2 tents from Intents Outdoors. They are both trekking pole tents. The Orson Indie1 and Indie 2. The 2p tent when there is more space, the 1p in the bush, or when limited for space. Good waterproofing, ventilation, lightweight, and not very expensive. Perfect for me.
Well, there's my Kiwi Camping Pukeko and my Marmot Zoom - Both loved. P.s Bud, just send those hammock inquiries over to the dark side, I'll help them decide ;-)
My go to 1 person tent is my MSR Hubba HP - a much older and hardier version with 10,000 bathtub floor and very little mesh. Suits me very well. Haven't seen any of these out and about.
Hi Barry last three videos awesome we are looking for a new tent .not related to this video but we are planning a hike on the kepler doc show very little tent sites ,have you done this hike? And know some other places to tent off track, if it's inappropriate to say no TH-cam I understand Thanks Shane
Hey Shane. Yes, I’ve done the Kepler several years ago, we really enjoyed it. It was with my wife and we stayed in huts. There are certain official DOC tent sites around various huts. I’d checkout the website and you’ll be about to see where the tent sites are. Have fun.
Hi Barry I also live in Christchurch and I'm enjoying your channel. I'm trying to find the video where you discuss hiking tent ventilation. Can you please help me?
Hi there. Sorry, that’s not a specific topic I’ve covered in my videos. To be honest, although you can reduce condensation, there’s nothing that will stop it, especially if its cold at night or if you have a single skinned, poorly vented tent.
Hey Shaun! Yes, that tent looks very strong indeed with its multi-poles on the outside and dome shape. Unfortunately their website is lacking on the exact types and weights of fabrics they use. Do you have a Storm Star?
@@wildmountainman1 the details are on a pdf you can download a little further down the page. I have been thinking about upgrading to a 4 season tent and the storm star seems to be a lighter weight option.
What's a tent you really like which isn't that common?
I really like the Mountain Designs Alpine Bunker 2 and 3P tents but can't find any user reviews online 😉
I’ve never hear of them. Hopefully you can find some good reviews on them.
Nice! Thanks for the mention!

Thanks Josh. It was great to see a wide variety of tents on this recent trip and to meet those who own them. Yes, crazy about those thieves!

Very nice. I’ve heard of a few people who also like the Orson tents. Well done. 👍🏼
Take a look at Ferrino 2 person tents...used it for many ears now and still pleased with it
Ok, thanks. I’ll check it out. All the best. 👍🏼
I've got the marmot force 2p,3p and fortress 2p on the way for better weather protection when you need to close up the mesh
GOod stuff. Yes, being about to block out the draft and keep some warmth in during winter is key. Have fun out there! :)
Great products, sad that I just bought a new tent before watching your vid ;) Stay safe and comfy out there. Best wishes, mario
Very good Mario. THanks for watching. What tent did you buy?
Well, there's my Kiwi Camping Pukeko and my Marmot Zoom - Both loved. P.s Bud, just send those hammock inquiries over to the dark side, I'll help them decide ;-)
Haha. I know you like your hammock and tarp etc. Yes, I’ll send all enquires to you. 🤣
Nice video bud, nicely explained. 👌
Thanks very much for watching and enjoying it. 👍🏼

Nice. That must be back in the days when they made stronger and more durable Hubba’s. Good one. 👍🏼

Nemo aurora 3p. Or 2p for solos.
Nice. Thanks. ⛺️
Hey Barry
I would love to see you do a review/check out the “Kuiu” Mountain Star and Storm Star tents 👍🏻

Cool, thank you. I’ll check it out.
