Due to a wet windy forecast on the hills we opted for a chilled out beach camp on the Ayrshire Coastal Way in the 3F UL Gear Taiji 2 tent. It was a chance to get a first night with two of us sleeping in it to see if it is as big and comfortable as I hoped. Hopefully it would rival the likes of the MSR Elixir 2 and the Big Agnes Copper Spur but cost a lot less. If you enjoyed my video please consider buying me a coffee at www.buymeacoff... Every little helps and thank you for your support!

The Tiaji 2 is a good quality tent as good as the cloud peak 2, everyone loves the 4 seasons khaki, especially in the UK and France.😁😁😃😃😀
I also love using Taiji2 in Ireland
I prefer Lanshan 2pro to be more convenient
Its a great tent, if they would just add more pockets it would be near perfect.
Quickly becoming my favourite tent this one. I had it in harsh weather and it did really well but be interesting to see it in higher winds. Nice to see you still getting use out of the table 👍
It's the comfort choice for me and the missus and does a great job, that tent.
So does the table, still going strong when we're both out. Solo I just can't take the extra weight and leave it at home but thanks again! 😂
i was at culzean castle the other day...nice down there
Lovely music
Great review of what look like a decent bit of kit.
Great stretch of coastline👍🏕🏴👌
A nice chilled camp Andrew , the tent suits that type of camps nicely . Colour blends nicely in and yeah probs not suited to mountains camps lol . Your own little paradise for the night 👍 atb Dave
I really enjoyed this video Andrew, stunning piece of coastline, nice chilled camp 🏕 great drone footage and an interesting tent ⛺ I wouldn't mind getting my Mrs to do the odd camp with me but I don't think it's ever going to happen 🤣 atb Brian 👍
Beautiful spot man wow
here in Indonesia we got the same design of tent but different color and brand. Maybe it's an OEM so people can have their own brand with the same design as long as they met the buying quota lol
my experience with this tent design is not very satisfying as it's leaked from the part of the clips that connect to the frame (the seal inside the tent not covered the bottom of the clips).
cmiiw.
Yes, I took some time to seal those bits as I find they leak on lots of tents. Haven't used it in a real downpour yet tho ! ATB A
Looks like a good 2 person size tent Andrew and with reasonable height. Mzybe not the best of weather but a nice spot to nideaway for the night and beach wa der to your hearts content. Thanks for pointing out the pole kengths thzt's an interesting fact. Bushyboy Oz.
A beautiful location, are you able to share the part of the Ayrshire coastal way this is on please? P.s just followed you as i follow G - redman walking and i was wild camping on bute last weekend too, round at scaplsie bay. Im an outdoor enthusiast too. Just spent most of today bingeing your videos 😅
Thanks for watching 🙏 Yes that's just inside the south perimeter of culzean country park. Can be busy till late evening so it's one to nip into late and leave early ! Cheers A
@@AndrewParkOutdoors thanks, I've found it on OS Maps 😊
Great video Andrew and the drone footage gives it that much extra. I love my taiji 2 but I too believe it could do with a gear loft for extra storage.
Cheers. Have you used it in rough weather ? Just wondering how much punishment it can actually take.
@@AndrewParkOutdoors yeah pretty rough but I don't carry any of the gadgets to know how windy it is but it's certainly waterproof and holds up pretty well. Although I've done some mods to mine to make it stronger in the winds 👍
Yes the double guyline is a great idea , not sure I'd use it in rough weather to be honest as my wife wouldn't go so I'd end up using my smaller tents.
@@AndrewParkOutdoors I like a bit more room if I know the weather is gonna be crap. Nothing worse than stuck inside a tiny tent for 16hrs! 🤣
Not the best weather Andrew but it’s not like we’re used to anything else.
Yep, when's summer ?!
@@AndrewParkOutdoors I had a nice 9Km hike down at the river Ayr this morning/afternoon and it was beautiful.
Still, it’s not been a great summer, we can only hope it improves.
Nice video, nature hike and 3f ul tents look ok, toying with the idea of a cloud peak to use in windy conditions as the MSR can’t cope, I have a Vango mirage that handles the wind perfect so is it worth the 500 gr saving ? I wonder,
Anyway what a spot and beach,
I must be getting soft as I put off some walks if forecast bad , yet I should expect the wind and rain living up here !!
Keep em coming
Yep me too, I'm becoming a fair weather camper, it's my age, next it'll be a caravan channel ( nooooo ) ! ATB A
Hi Andrew, what's this tent like in wind?
I've only had it in strong breezes so far , slight wobble and that's it. I still think the panels are too big to take mountain winds tho and I'd be nervous pushing it.
At the end of the video you say that the packed weight is 1.8kg, but in a review you say that the tent is 2.2kg: th-cam.com/video/-Y6lDUfH2Ho/w-d-xo.html
Even if you remove the footprint, which is 200g, you still have a tent that packs 2.0kg. What else did you remove? 🤣
Yes good point , the specs on the website I used are for the 3 season without footprint I reckon, just weighed ours at 2.1 with footprint so 4 season without footprint is about 1.9kg , bearable for two :-)
@@AndrewParkOutdoors Sorry, but I don't understand. Do you mean that the four season version is lighter than the three season version?
No I think the 3 season must be about 1.8 without footprint , our 4 season seems to be 1.9 without or about 2.1 Inc
Apart from some scenic views I didn't really find anything of interest in this video. Didn't understand the aim. Was it a review of the tent or what? If it was a review of the tent in field conditions then I'm none the wiser.
I had high hopes for this channel when I started watching, but it has turned into a series of overnights with odd little tents and not much else.
So I'll unsubscribe and wish you well.
Thanks for the feedback David. Yes sometimes I just go out without a clear plan and film anyway. I think this is one of those nights, I'll take your comments on board. Cheers A
Personally I like prefer this type of video these days as I am a bit fed up of gear reviews. Being able to visit Scotland through the eyes of a local is just great in my book.
Thank you!
I personally find this type of video and it's relaxed nature much easier viewing than a hard-core tent review.
There's a great mix of video content and delivered by a very relatable and decent appearing host.
Cheers for the content, Andrew. I've learned a thing of two in the week of finding the channel.
Keep posting.
