    Great video with some fantastic scenery and of course tent shots. Super soundtrack too. Absolutely loved the double tent simultaneous pitching and sunset time-lapse.

    Looked tidy! That hut has kept me safe for the night before now. Great view from the second night

    looks like the Niak is a tent worth cosidering double-poling especialy if you use it with another person or dog.
    I myself own the Soulo RL

    Beautiful landscape. Some great shots there. I really need to get myself to Wales. Haven't been to the Brecon Beacons since my Army days (when I was just 17). Beautiful place, we got dumped in the middle of nowhere with just a map, compass with full kit on and had to navigate to our campsite before dark. It was one hell of an experience, very hard work, but also very rewarding and something I will never forget!!

    Really enjoyed that, Chris. Shame about the Niak. Was it the poles?

      @thewelshnomad7094  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers pal appreciate it as always👍🏻 they didn’t snap, they just weren’t coping with the wind, direction changed overnight and it was hitting the Niak head on so the poles were just bowing and collapsing in on the tent with every gust that hit it!

      Just seen your past comment about the Niak pal, both great tents! Just be careful pitching in Strong winds in the Niak

      ​@@thewelshnomad7094 I myself own the Soulo here in Switzerland for harsh environments :).
      I think the Niak would be a great second tent for summercamping on a lake with a dog. And i would carry another set of poles so i could double-pole it.
      Also worth considering maybe the UNNA in combination with a tarp instead of the Niak and take the backpack inside.
