OMG..look at him especially the ending part...this guy is so calm and I think that's the reason he stands fearless in the winter storms of the Ladakh region. Love the easiness and simplicity in your videos man. Please make one series on your tech (camera) and camping gear as well.
The greatness about your content is the rarerity in midst of all trekking videos on TH-cam. Your vlogs have complete information in a simplistic manner. Started watching your vlogs randomly and it is my favourite channel on TH-cam. I like the name also "India in Motion". Thank you for sharing all useful information and documentary which we cannot find on Netflix or any other online streaming applications.
Sir , this is my only comment on any TH-cam video, I usually don't prefer to comment but your calmness and courage force me to bow down. I really like your videos these give me peaceful feeling and hats of to you sir , you are really a source of Inspiration.
True. There is only one Indian youtuber who comes close to him. He is Ronnie from Ronnie and barty channel. In fact both these guys should collaborate to bring out even more beautiful vlogs.
Hey Saravana, couple of quick suggestions - 1. While the warm indoor vibe goes with your personality, but turn up the exposure just a bit more. It's too dark imho. 2. For people on the fence and thinking / wanting to do solo hiking, the mental barrier is bigger than the actual logistics, gear and technical stuff. That mental barrier is mostly because of the fear of the unknown - wild animals, robbery, lack of water and food availability, breaking a law, etc. Most people living in the cities and towns are surrounded by these experiences which has a direct impact on their world view. Putting those fears and doubts to rest by talking about your experiences should help people move from just dreaming to actually doing. Right now, they are living their "dream life" through your videos. Empowering them with the right mindset, expectations and resources can be the greatest gift you can give to those who follow you and the outdoor community in general. Let me know if that makes sense. :) Edited for paragraphs.
Loved the way you said the first reason for asking people to follow you on instagram. It is not often I see content creators being so honest and pure. You have my respect bro!
And I loved the way you put a 'caution' prior to the use of the word 'bombproof'. Too often, words are used in english (and possible other languages) without any thought for their exact meaning/impact.👍🍀
People have already written a lot...since the day i started watching your videos i have stopped watching travel vlogs of most others....coz noone from India really portrays the real and raw terrain of the mountains like u do...u r an inspiration...keep up the good work....God bless u !!!
This guy right here, is the epitome of calm and composed. I actually get depressed seeing your videos because I feel my life is worthless. Kudos bro, hope u keep inspiring.
Beauty of all this is, as other people pointed out, the organic-ness of the interaction, like how a big brother would guide you. I think that is something the mountains do to you. Straightens people out. So refreshing.
Yet another masterpiece from you. From the valleys to the snow converted lofty mountains or from your home studio talking of tents, you have originality not only in content but also sincerity in delivery. Such a calming effect - you are an epitome of grace and humility. Thank you.
Hi sir I'm from Kerala Previous years after completing my graduation I travel towards north India .. my 1st long solo travel... Your video inspired me a lot.. Thank you sir..
Sir i am chiranjeev Sharma (20yrs) from jabalpur (m.p.) i am a student of law from National law university, jabalpur I have been following your TH-cam channel for a very long time I shall give you the credit to teach me that inner peace can only be attained by going into the lap of nature. And it is you because of whom i am able to gather some courage to go on solo trips to the complete wilderness your videos are way more helpful for us than the agency guided tours which is completely commercialized Though being a student i am not able to go on trips regularly but, whenever i feel like going to nature, i simply do a 15-20 km to the surrounding woods of my city I look forward to go to madhmaheswar (32km roundtrip trek in uttrakhand) for week long camping trip for which I also have been saving money for sleeping bag and a tent from my pocket money and also by doing a small part time internship Recently i watched your video on tent giveaway, i would be really obliged i am be the chosen one, It would be more than a blessing for me to use the tent, which is used by one of my idol. I remember watching your ladakh snowfall video 3yr ago from my suggestion, and my instantaneous reaction was like "yrrrrrrr kina awesome hai yeh banda" kash me bhi ese jaa pata" Although i had realized at a very young age that nature attracts me more than any other thing in this world. Going to amarnath at the age of 6 was may be the first time me witnessing beauty of mountains and that way the point which made me realize my love to trees, river mountain etc. I love sitting in the banks of Narmada and listening to the sound water for hours, A also feel the tent giveaway would help to life that life that you promote. Even if it is not me, still I'll be your fan alway. Apart from tent I will still feel blessed to have a reply from you . Yours lovingly -Chiranjeev Sharma
A very, very good description of the pluses and minuses for each type of tent. I've watched many tent videos (too many, maybe), and this one gets right to the point with actual experience using them. Well done.
@18:50 how can one be so humble, nice, straightforward, unselfish. Bro, you are wining our hearts, not just likes, subs or followers. I feel proud on your work. 👏🏻👏🏻 #respect
The most genuine guy you'll ever see! Specially the end part where he only wants it to reach the person who could really use it ♥️ You're most precious person and deserve all the respect and love in the world ♥️
Great video. You have explained these types of tents in a very clear manner. Even a person like me with zero knowledge about tents can comprehend the explaination very easily. Thank you very much for your quality content. You are inspiring. :)
Good thing is he never asks to subscribe and share his content.he is genuine and passionate towards what he does unlike most you tubers who creates content for money.
I love the way you have explained it very precisely and upto the point. I wish all the youtubers to be so precise like you and clear on content.keep up your good work.
You told all about the types with ease and calm ......the last part of giveaway was very honest.....that gives us good vibes.........that's rare we see from content creators..........keep the good work going......
Every time when I watch your new video I got some kind of relief and feel more confident and... Don't have words to express my feelings... I always share it with my friends... And when we meet, we talk about you and the way you survive in those conditions.. Hats off to you bro Himachal always loves and respect you... 😊😊😊😊
I just play your videos in loop to hear ur voice and I work in tandem...so soothing. All videos I have completed watching, so it's just repeating till my last breath. If in case TH-cam is down, keep videos of yours in a new medium where we can access for lifetime
I love your channel so much sir. The way you present the nature with the melodious background music is really awesome. I even recommended lot of my friends to follow your channel. Please keep up the work you are doing. Your content makes me calm as well. I feel very peaceful watching your videos. And expect someday, I'll also start travelling like you. Thank you so much for your content. Wish you all the best.
Ultra simplicity you have sir. That is the sign of a great man. I am a physio, i dont know about trekking, and i dont want tents, but hv watched your vdo till end to make sure, u ll get what you want to achieve in life.
You have addressed the 'makaan' first, but videos on 'roti' - what you need to manage food, and 'kapda' - what clothes you need to manage the cold, could be ideas for your future episodes. And you have answered this off and on, but specific episodes on your shooting gear and editing gear would also be helpful.
You have given very precious information about the 3 types of tents, thank you. It is your sheer grit that saw you through in that claustrophobic tent and that too for three long years, hats off for you. 2. The video is very interesting and the 20 minutes ended like in 5 minutes. In addition to enlightening us about various hiking equipment and apparel, do and don'ts while hiking in different elevations and different seasons, I request you to Please also narrate some interesting experiences/stories from your trips in the mountains along with stills or footage of the same. I don't want to compare but if I have to, I have found you much above the one's most talked about in view of the constraints we face. Lastly I recommend that you launch some your own merchandise like caps, trees, sling bags and key chains attached to carabiners. God bless you always 👍👍
The bivy is claustrophobic only during bad weather. Otherwise it is actually more liberating as it makes you spend as much time outside as possible before turning in for the night. I lose that with my other more 'comfortable' tents. Yes, I plan on narrating some travel experiences during this lockdown. Not sure how interesting they will be but I will try a couple and see how it goes. Your last point is very interesting. I don't want to do India in Motion merchandise, but I was just talking with my friend about how it will be a good idea to handpick some speciality hiking gear from the the likes of AliExpress test it and sell it here. But it will take focus away from my main goal which is filmmaking, so I don't think I will do it.
Hope there was no covid. It would have been great to see you go more miles up high in the mountains. You are A huge inspiration for a lot of people. Lots of love from Assam.
Hello sir. Great respect for your outlook and spirit of exploration. You have a calm and serene voice which reverbates with the mighty Himalayas. Do not mean to deride anyone, but you are the only Indian with free spirit that is often associated with the westerns. More importantly you are on personal quest, the great glimpses we get to see is just the byproduct of it. Don't leave that goal for the cacophony of daily mundane life. The clarity of vision and preservance you have is that of a monk. Even the sound silence is golden in your videos. Hope to bump into you someday in Himalayas. Happy travels and happy Life. I too travel Solo. Been to Kinner Kailash and many treks in Great Himalayan National Park alone. Go to GHNP, it does have some great trails. I don't have active Instagram account or any social account but can upload photos of my travels if that would work. Currently have quechua -3 degree celcius tent, having a -18 would be great.. Would I actually be able to experience remoteness like you is hard to say :) Would love to overcome fear and self doubt like you.
Amazing content :) love to watch your videos, especially your Timelapse, narration and cinematography. All the best for more growth of the channel. Love from Dehradun.
The best thing we noticed that,u r nt just hiking n picturing those beautiful mountains,u r living n experiencing the real nature's treat by staying their for month's,wat motives u to do so?wat do u think in those peaceful nights,alone ?eager to hear Ur stories sir...
Hi Sir, thank you for the knowledge. I really didn’t know the difference between all the tents. I thought you should know this ☺️ because of you I started camping from last year. I was on Ladakh solo trip last October for 2 months and I came back in December. I use a decathlon Arpenaz 2, this is 2 seater Dome tent I really like it and yes you are absolutely right dome tent with 2 poles are not so stable. Thanks to you i know now that there are 3 pole tents as well for stability. Thank you Sir for making all these videos. I really appreciate what you are doing. Keep it up. Take care.
An informative one, somebody who doesn’t know anything about tents can also understand it so well, may be you can make a video (while being stuck at home) on - necessary stuff/ things you take along on your long hikes. Any ways good going, good luck 🙂.
So happy to see this video come out sir. I am as excited for your lockdown content as I used to be for your traveling videos. Its nice to meet the man behind all the action. Needless to say you are very handsome sir. I already follow you on Instagram since ages and I won't text you there because I am not a hiker or a camper. Infact i have never done camping alone. I would have loved to have your tent just because it is romanticized in my mind as it has seen so much more life than me. I would have loved to have a small part of your journey but I will travel, hike and camp enough and I will wait for another giveaway of yours maybe 3-4 years down the line just to have a tent used by INDIA IN MOTION!! Take care sir, always always praying for your good health and happiness.
You are the inspiration for us to visit Hanley. While we were strolling alongside of Hanley river, we could recollect how you stayed there in your green bivy tent. Would love to treasure that with us forever...
Thanks for creating such wonderful videos and content. Really like the calmness with which you speak and act, and the quality of you timelapse and videos is wonderful. Your videos are so beautiful that many people might try following your footsteps, please do create a video about the dangers involved in solo camping and how new campers can protect themselves from extreme weather and wild animals. Looking forward to more beautiful videos and timelapse from you.
Bro... watching your Vlogs I had purchased a Tent with sleeping bag in the end of 2019 and was planning to use it in 2020 but this Covid pandemic had pushed those plans. Keep making such wonderful Vlogs....👍
Sir I found your channel some 4 years back and ever since I am watching your every video. I really love your work. And I really love the way you exploring our upper Himachal and ladakh areas. (Fyi I am from Kinnaur (sangla)). Please let me know if you ever plan to come and rome around sangla valley. I would love to show you around😁😁🙏🙏
Thanks for taking time to share this and your vast knowledge and experience of hiking. Your honesty and humbleness definitely stands out and hats off this across your videos 👍 Am sure your will pass the tent to someone who deserves this and it will continue to see its days out in the hills 👍
Even a talk on tents can be so enjoyable when you are the one who presents it... btw... you missed one hole of your shirt button in the video (the second last one) and hence the shirt end was uneven... and that makes the video so “YOU”... the most honest person on TH-cam, to whom style is irrelevant, only content matters...
Man, you are simply superb. I watched all your videos many times and the simplicity in narration and superb photography takes to the next level. Will follow you on Instagram because I love the content. Namaskarams to your dedication and grit. 🙏
beautiful timelapses.... the ultamid with inner is 1.2 kg or so. still light... and protects from wind. Fast to set up. Pyramids are used in everest etc. It is pricey.... but The material is special, doesn't absorb water or stretch in wind.
Really structured and good critisicm. Been looking at an Ultamid and this was the best review of it thus far, both the good and the bad sides. Great video!
I was searching for tents for solo hiking. My search ends with this video. Piramid tent it is for me, atleast for now, as I plan to hike during mostly summers. Thanks for such informative content.
Great video showing the differences. For the pyramid tent, having an adjustable height centre pole should go a long way to solve the dust problem. In those situations, make the pole height lower, so the edges of the tent sit closer to the ground. 👍
That's true.. but the DCF fabric is not very abrasion resistant. It has great tear strength but will easily weaken if it rubs against the ground or some rocks continuously.
Your pitch locations and weather look very demanding on the equipment you use. I think manufacturers should be paying attention to your opinions and experience of their items as few people I've seen push the limits like you have. Well done and keep it up.
I have the quechua tent 2 person one.....works good..good equipment bhi shok hi h ....i know the feeling of buying these things by doing such research...i have diff feeling for them...cheers to you sir
Sir u r the ultimate travaller...u seem to be a bit sad... but let me tell u... ur now very much visible on youtube and u will gain subscribers from now...all the best..
Always enjoy your videos, offering sensible and practical advice without hype. I looked at an ultralight tent for solo camping but I was put off by the fact they're usually listed as water 'resistant' not 'proof'. I hadn't considered the issue of dust and sand, which gives me another reason to think twice about having one. I too have camped in Ladakh and Spiti, so very familiar with the terrain. As I'm based in the UK I'll not be putting myself forward for the bivvy, but will check it out. I could see me going for all three ultimately, each has their good points. The killer is always keeping the weight down!
I did not mention it in the video, but the ultralight tent I use is made from a fabric called Dyneema/Cuben Fiber. It is just about the most waterproof material you can find. The material is very light weight, 100% waterproof. Very strong tear strength as well, but the gotcha is their abrasion resistance which is quite poor compared to nylon.
thank you for clearing many doubts regarding the tents and educating us regarding the same. always had many curiosities regarding the tents which you solved most of them in the video and i can't thank you enough for that. :)
I came here to appreciate and say thank you..as You sometimes show me that the life I wanted to leave.. but not able to do..after watching your video I always read traveling blogs and dream about it. One day I will travel like a free bird .
I am also using a Pyramid tent (Mini Peak II) . Have you tried using a trekking pole for setup? The advantage is that trekking poles are adjustable in their height, so you can pitch the tent lower in windy environments, so the sides are basically on the ground and not leaving that much space for dust to come through.
I don't use trekking poles while hiking. I carry a tripod that does double duty, both as a pole for balance in uneven terrain and for filming myself while hiking. I carry a separate pole for holding up my tent. It can be raised by another 6 to 7 inches if needed. The only issue is that the starting length itself is a bit too long. Ideally I should have ordered it some 3 to 4 inches shorter, that way I would have had the option to pitch it close to the ground when needed.
I was quite old when I started doing all this. So my parents really did not have a say in that matter. They obviously were not happy with my choices, but I went anyway.
For beginners in Travelling, it's very valuable information for providing to us, there is lot to explore, and learn, would be waiting for more new up-comings , best wishes, Rajat
OMG..look at him especially the ending part...this guy is so calm and I think that's the reason he stands fearless in the winter storms of the Ladakh region. Love the easiness and simplicity in your videos man. Please make one series on your tech (camera) and camping gear as well.
Sure. Those videos are in my list already.
Very good review of your tents.

One of the most genuine youtuber we found on youtube. Such a rear thing to see.
the way you speak helps us to connect better.
Very true . Also the fact that his content is always dot to the point and genuine.
True. There is only one Indian youtuber who comes close to him. He is Ronnie from Ronnie and barty channel. In fact both these guys should collaborate to bring out even more beautiful vlogs.
@@phuntsokangrup3871 Ronnie bhai ka naam sun kr mazza aa gya , good suggestion - both of them produce genuine content without any spice
Its his peace of mind 😊which makes his voice more attractive
@@shubhamsaurav5348 your comment makes perfect logic brother to justify my comment .keep supporting the good work .
Hey Saravana, couple of quick suggestions -
1. While the warm indoor vibe goes with your personality, but turn up the exposure just a bit more. It's too dark imho.
2. For people on the fence and thinking / wanting to do solo hiking, the mental barrier is bigger than the actual logistics, gear and technical stuff.
That mental barrier is mostly because of the fear of the unknown - wild animals, robbery, lack of water and food availability, breaking a law, etc.
Most people living in the cities and towns are surrounded by these experiences which has a direct impact on their world view.
Putting those fears and doubts to rest by talking about your experiences should help people move from just dreaming to actually doing.
Right now, they are living their "dream life" through your videos. Empowering them with the right mindset, expectations and resources can be the greatest gift you can give to those who follow you and the outdoor community in general.
Let me know if that makes sense. :)
Edited for paragraphs.
Loved the way you said the first reason for asking people to follow you on instagram. It is not often I see content creators being so honest and pure. You have my respect bro!

Hi sir I'm from Kerala
Previous years after completing my graduation I travel towards north India .. my 1st long solo travel...
Your video inspired me a lot..
Thank you sir..
I'll follow you on instagram. And it won't be because of the giveaway but because of the precious content you've provided to all of us.
Sir i am chiranjeev Sharma (20yrs) from jabalpur (m.p.) i am a student of law from National law university, jabalpur
I have been following your TH-cam channel for a very long time
I shall give you the credit to teach me that inner peace can only be attained by going into the lap of nature.
And it is you because of whom i am able to gather some courage to go on solo trips to the complete wilderness
your videos are way more helpful for us than the agency guided tours which is completely commercialized
Though being a student i am not able to go on trips regularly but, whenever i feel like going to nature, i simply do a 15-20 km to the surrounding woods of my city
I look forward to go to madhmaheswar (32km roundtrip trek in uttrakhand) for week long camping trip for which I also have been saving money for sleeping bag and a tent from my pocket money and also by doing a small part time internship
Recently i watched your video on tent giveaway, i would be really obliged i am be the chosen one,
It would be more than a blessing for me to use the tent, which is used by one of my idol.
I remember watching your ladakh snowfall video 3yr ago from my suggestion, and my instantaneous reaction was like "yrrrrrrr kina awesome hai yeh banda" kash me bhi ese jaa pata"
Although i had realized at a very young age that nature attracts me more than any other thing in this world.
Going to amarnath at the age of 6 was may be the first time me witnessing beauty of mountains and that way the point which made me realize my love to trees, river mountain etc.
I love sitting in the banks of Narmada and listening to the sound water for hours,
A also feel the tent giveaway would help to life that life that you promote.
Even if it is not me, still I'll be your fan alway.
Apart from tent I will still feel blessed to have a reply from you .

I already follow you on Instagram since ages and I won't text you there because I am not a hiker or a camper. Infact i have never done camping alone. I would have loved to have your tent just because it is romanticized in my mind as it has seen so much more life than me. I would have loved to have a small part of your journey but I will travel, hike and camp enough and I will wait for another giveaway of yours maybe 3-4 years down the line just to have a tent used by INDIA IN MOTION!!
Take care sir, always always praying for your good health and happiness.
It’s a pleasure to listen to you.. So polite and calm you are.. I hope one day world will recognise ur beautiful documentaries 🙏
He is helping me to be a good person.
Calm n complete.
Thank you
You are the inspiration for us to visit Hanley. While we were strolling alongside of Hanley river, we could recollect how you stayed there in your green bivy tent. Would love to treasure that with us forever...
Thanks for creating such wonderful videos and content. Really like the calmness with which you speak and act, and the quality of you timelapse and videos is wonderful. Your videos are so beautiful that many people might try following your footsteps, please do create a video about the dangers involved in solo camping and how new campers can protect themselves from extreme weather and wild animals. Looking forward to more beautiful videos and timelapse from you.
Good stuff by reviewing gears, beneficial to all. Looking forward for more. Congrats on reaching a 1m subscribers.
Bro... watching your Vlogs I had purchased a Tent with sleeping bag in the end of 2019 and was planning to use it in 2020 but this Covid pandemic had pushed those plans. Keep making such wonderful Vlogs....👍
So calm and cool, explaining all the pros and cons in detail.
Sir I found your channel some 4 years back and ever since I am watching your every video. I really love your work. And I really love the way you exploring our upper Himachal and ladakh areas. (Fyi I am from Kinnaur (sangla)). Please let me know if you ever plan to come and rome around sangla valley. I would love to show you around😁😁🙏🙏
Hat's off to your patience sir. There are very few people with so much patience....♥️
One of the best and honest travel blog in india 🇮🇳
I always refer India in Motion within my photography circle. His contents are excellent.
Yes N very organic..
Thanks for taking time to share this and your vast knowledge and experience of hiking.
Your honesty and humbleness definitely stands out and hats off this across your videos 👍
Am sure your will pass the tent to someone who deserves this and it will continue to see its days out in the hills 👍
Bro. You are the best Indian nature vlogger. Why I say this is because of your calm demeanour and soothing voice.
Even a talk on tents can be so enjoyable when you are the one who presents it... btw... you missed one hole of your shirt button in the video (the second last one) and hence the shirt end was uneven... and that makes the video so “YOU”... the most honest person on TH-cam, to whom style is irrelevant, only content matters...
You are the best one in india ...you gave everything for travel. You are such a inspiration to me. All the best sir. hope one day i will meet in you.
Man, you are simply superb. I watched all your videos many times and the simplicity in narration and superb photography takes to the next level. Will follow you on Instagram because I love the content. Namaskarams to your dedication and grit. 🙏
Love you brother ... situations are harsh outside , but you are calm inside. not easy ... kudos !!
beautiful timelapses.... the ultamid with inner is 1.2 kg or so. still light... and protects from wind. Fast to set up. Pyramids are used in everest etc. It is pricey.... but The material is special, doesn't absorb water or stretch in wind.
I would love to get a half insert for the Ultamid 2 with solid walls for winter use. But unfortunately nothing like that exists.

Your very first Subscriber
Really structured and good critisicm. Been looking at an Ultamid and this was the best review of it thus far, both the good and the bad sides. Great video!
Thanks Erik
I was searching for tents for solo hiking. My search ends with this video. Piramid tent it is for me, atleast for now, as I plan to hike during mostly summers.
Thanks for such informative content.
Sometimes one just wonders how great content individual creaters are making now. Power to you for your great work!
Lot of information in a single video. 👍🏻 Thanks man ! Keep going.
Great video showing the differences. For the pyramid tent, having an adjustable height centre pole should go a long way to solve the dust problem. In those situations, make the pole height lower, so the edges of the tent sit closer to the ground. 👍
That's true.. but the DCF fabric is not very abrasion resistant. It has great tear strength but will easily weaken if it rubs against the ground or some rocks continuously.
Thanks for the kind of tent explanation, I don't know about basic tent knowledge all these days.🎉
I like the frame and colour effects in this video. It looks very simple and feels very creative.
Your pitch locations and weather look very demanding on the equipment you use. I think manufacturers should be paying attention to your opinions and experience of their items as few people I've seen push the limits like you have. Well done and keep it up.
I have the quechua tent 2 person one.....works good..good equipment bhi shok hi h ....i know the feeling of buying these things by doing such research...i have diff feeling for them...cheers to you sir
Sir u r the ultimate travaller...u seem to be a bit sad... but let me tell u... ur now very much visible on youtube and u will gain subscribers from now...all the best..
Thank you so much for your videos. They are always so interesting. They make me want to visit the mountains of India.
I have been to Leh and Spiti bike trip. But, always wanted to do camping. Thanks for sharing the information. Great work. Keep it up.
The way you make your point is really nice.
As far as I can say, Your channel is the underrated channel I ever watched
.
You are awesome bro...the way u speaks shows us how patience u are...I want to see u in newer heights...if got a chance I want to really meet u
Good and informative ..You are a true Inspiration for me🌺
Thanks a lot man. I can feel the effort you had put into research of tents and bags❤️ thanks a lot...
Excellent video. Thanks for passing on your experiences with these tents. It looks like you've had some amazing adventures. Thanks for posting.
I hope you found this useful. Thanks for watching
a great knowledge video ... thank you for sharing in your own clear way .Great !!
Always enjoy your videos, offering sensible and practical advice without hype. I looked at an ultralight tent for solo camping but I was put off by the fact they're usually listed as water 'resistant' not 'proof'. I hadn't considered the issue of dust and sand, which gives me another reason to think twice about having one. I too have camped in Ladakh and Spiti, so very familiar with the terrain.
As I'm based in the UK I'll not be putting myself forward for the bivvy, but will check it out. I could see me going for all three ultimately, each has their good points. The killer is always keeping the weight down!
I did not mention it in the video, but the ultralight tent I use is made from a fabric called Dyneema/Cuben Fiber. It is just about the most waterproof material you can find. The material is very light weight, 100% waterproof. Very strong tear strength as well, but the gotcha is their abrasion resistance which is quite poor compared to nylon.
We need more pple like him.. cheers
thank you for clearing many doubts regarding the tents and educating us regarding the same.
always had many curiosities regarding the tents which you solved most of them in the video and i can't thank you enough for that. :)
You are welcome Tushar
My Favorite channel on youTube, through your videos I get to know more about Ladakh and also its tribes.
Love your work keep going...
I came here to appreciate and say thank you..as You sometimes show me that the life I wanted to leave.. but not able to do..after watching your video I always read traveling blogs and dream about it. One day I will travel like a free bird .
First I like your videos and then I watch it ... Superb ...
I am also using a Pyramid tent (Mini Peak II) . Have you tried using a trekking pole for setup? The advantage is that trekking poles are adjustable in their height, so you can pitch the tent lower in windy environments, so the sides are basically on the ground and not leaving that much space for dust to come through.
I don't use trekking poles while hiking. I carry a tripod that does double duty, both as a pole for balance in uneven terrain and for filming myself while hiking.
I carry a separate pole for holding up my tent. It can be raised by another 6 to 7 inches if needed. The only issue is that the starting length itself is a bit too long. Ideally I should have ordered it some 3 to 4 inches shorter, that way I would have had the option to pitch it close to the ground when needed.
Love your videos because I also love to travel solo whenever I get buddget for the trips
Sir most important thing is that you inspire me alot
I appreciate ur efforts and thank ur parents for allowing u to travel alone in such risky weather conditions my best wishes to u
I was quite old when I started doing all this. So my parents really did not have a say in that matter. They obviously were not happy with my choices, but I went anyway.
I have been following u for so long sir...coz I'm a big fan of ur work
i don't understand who dislike such awesome video
For beginners in Travelling, it's very valuable information for providing to us, there is lot to explore, and learn, would be waiting for more new up-comings , best wishes, Rajat
You are so honest !!
This is turning out to be my favourite channel. Keep going bro!
Am waiting for this blog year ago... Thank you so much sir 👍
