Thanks you, feedback is appreciated, I have another video in pipeline, being a 3 day hike it’s taking a bit of time to put together but hopefully soon and hopefully you enjoy that one too
Good video. I have the same tent - Soulo BL. Even when I set it up in the front yard with similar conditions, I don't sleep well with great gear. I always wonder why I sleep outside and don't sleep in my own bed inside. I suppose that after 3-5 nights outside, you get used to it or use earplugs. That length of time is challenging for me now...of course, later in life, I'll probably not be able to afford buying new Hillebergs all the time, but will probably have all the time in the world to use one.
Yeh the wind did make it pretty frustrating to pitch well, i always have the tent attached to something with a caribina or secured somehow with either myself sitting on it while i peg the 4 main corners, but having it blow away is definatly a concern. Thankfully i still own it will be out again in it soon, its been pretty windy (30-40 mph) and cold lately (5 to -15 on the summits) so not really looking to pitch in that.
Good to see your gear working in those winds your right the worst part is putting the tent up once it's done it's ok.ive seen a few have the problem with the rain coming through the zip some seam sealer will sort it and some dyneema on the zip pulls stops them rattling
Thanks for the info Craig, il get that seam sealed, I had to close the inner completely as the water would drip inside otherwise I would of left the inner open or at least the mesh. As for the zips rattling I guess you cut off the metal part and replace with Dyneema. Solid tent though.
I have a soulo and your water leaking problem is pretty easy to fix. After the zipper clamp at the end there is a gap, and that’s where the water comes it
@@davie.outdoors8150 th-cam.com/video/Y6oU8tQ2exc/w-d-xo.html - Black Mountain Adventures covered this problem. I've never had an issue with leaking since 👍👍great video.
trousers were very good but jacket did well but wasnt desinged for that conditions as i found out on a later trip, i finally have myself a good gore tex mountain eqipment one now that would have kept me proper dry, no doubt it will be tested soon enough in Scotland
Hi, I did have a set in but the noise was still really loud, I guess I just like my beauty sleep too much 😴 we don’t go wildcamping for comfy sleeps anyway I guess

Good job setting up the tent, those winds were fierce, and could have easily swept the tent away.

Solid tent though.
@@davie.outdoors8150 no don't cut the zips off that voids your warranty.just thread some dyneema through the metal zips pulls.
@@craig3401 spot on, il put some on, i have some spare in the many boxes of outdoorness
Great vid, try headphones, with a audio book
Thanks, good shout, terrible at reading but an audio book would be a good idea.

HELLO.
Wear earplugs when inside your tent.
