@@antonfrench2254 I have two k Kmart cups. All good in the wood, features a lot recently and the plastic blue cup. I can do both you desire me todo so.
a gift, wow its amazing haha... i just bought one, but we have 3 feets of snow and piling here so i have to w8 spring... impressed by the weight and pack size!
Gear reviews and ramblings is always fascinating, especially as most gear reviews are for overseas terain and trails. I just managed to score Xmid-2, kind of excited to see how it does in NZ. It looks like good tent, always interesting seeing the weird cut shapes to cut down weight on Nemo's, it's good way to doing, when the tent is for more favourable weather.
I am particularly fond of my big Agnes expedition tent. Perhaps I’ll make an Vid on that beauty soon. Xmid looks like a nifty design. You get the Cuban fiber or standard?
Them inner tent doesn’t allow for much head room but apart from that there is sufficient room that your mat and sleep bag wouldn’t be rubbing on the sides of the tent. It’s a 1 person ultra light tent so may as sell save the extra 120grams with the one person version over the two person. It’s totally big enough for one person my size.
"You're not going to pitch this tent in rough situations".. any experience with this tent in strong winds or snow? I bought the Nemo Kunai some years back, it's a 4 season front entry tent but it's a right bastard to get in and out of as a tall person, especially if there's rain or snow on the fly. And yeah, the sil nylon does tend to sag quite a lot in sleet and rain.
@@AbelandVictoria yeah longevity will be interesting. It's a Tarptent protrail. The sil nylon, not the dyneema version. It's not for everyone but I really like it! Cheers
Seems a well thought out tent, and light! 🍻 Great gift by Victoria. I have to ask... When are you getting a hammok?! 🌳🌲🌳😴🎄 I guess not too many more sleeps 🎅
Yea looks ideal for deep missions into the glorious expanse of kahurangi. Need to be careful with it though delicate fabrics. Don’t worry hammok sometime Soon.
Just bumped into your channel by searching info on the S2S Telos TR2. Love your video style mate, looking forward to following your videos. Am really interested in your thoughts on how this Ultralight Nemo compares to the Telos and would love a video on it. Am curious if you'll swap between the two for different situations etc.
Hey sweet. Yeah I’ll do an in-depth review on the telos at some stage. I will mostly be using the telos when I go with Victoria from now on I think. Telos is great though so much interior space and still a light weight tent. Will be using the telos on a trip this weekend.
I have some sea to summit ones that are far lighter. After using the nemo a bit tho I can see why they put these bigger stakes with the tent. A lot of tension goes onto each stake. I hav a vid going over my gear if you want to get more info on these items.
@@Sean85Laney sweet. Depends on the terrain I camping on which I decide to use. New Zealand the bush floor is pretty soft and some long stakes are usually required
Nice review!! Wondering why you say that you wouldn't use this tent if the weather is a bit rough?? Do you think it wouldn't hold up in a day / night of foul NZ weather?? Can you recommend any 1P Tent under 1kg that you would trust in foul weather?? Needs to be very packable for Ultralight Fast Bikepacking (Not Dyneema). What quilt have you got there?? Any recommendations for a good / great quilt that is good at 0 Deg C?? again, needs to be very packable and able to stuff in BikePacking Bags. Thanks :)
I don’t think any tents under 1kg will hold up to properly bad weather here in nz. The nemo will take some bad weather but not a storm. I think your best bet for a ultralight tent if you are concerned about wind and rain would be a trekking pole tent. I personally haven’t used one but I have seen they are surprisingly strong.
@@AbelandVictoria Thanks for the reply. Yeah, It's difficult in that under 1kg category. I've had pretty extreme weather in my Hubba Hubba and a Hilleberg Enan and survived very well through the night - they are around the 1.2 kg mark. Tarptent and Durston have some nice offerings around or just under 1kg. I wont have trekking poles on the Bike, but they offer a carbon pole alternative :) Dyneema is attractive, but the lifespan is quite short relative to other Tents and you need to be a bit precious with them when packing down etc....plus the cost is offensive!!
@@stephenhammond3656 I think it’s Jsut an inevitable trade off to go ultra light. The nemo is pretty awesome it packs down very small and seem very well made and designed. The osmo fabric seems pretty legit also. No saggy rain fly which is great. I much prefer a quilt. Fabric doesn’t pull underneath you when you roll around in the night and you can stretch your legs out of you want. Take a look on UGQ website can customise endlessly.
@@KristianH1986 I have used the tent in some of my camping vids. You can get a better idea of the tent in some of them maybe. It’s a great tent very specific use cases though
I don’t use trekking pole, so the Zpacks Altaplex total weight is 437g + support pole 110g + 10*6.2g carbon stake + 3g DCF stake sack = 612g. But it’s difficult to pitch in hardrock area, or uneven ground area. Also Altaplex needs way too much footprint to guyout their 10 absurdly long guylines. The Nemo hornet elite 1p looks very great, if I replace its stakes with zpacks carbon stake(6.2g each), then the total weight could be about 770g ?! That seems to be a totally acceptable weight penalty(770-612=158g)weight for a easier to pitch, semi-freestanding , more privacy, not so translucent, and double wall tent!!
Hey yeah 6 pegs to properly pitch it without using the guy lines. I weighed the entire set up on my scale with my own pegs and I believe it was under 750 grams. I’m heading out tomorrow with the tent for a first use over nighter. It’s Going to be very cold should be a fun test of the tent. Check out vid will be up in a few days.
Ok here’s what I learnt! 1. If not already…Marry That Girl! 💒 2. 88kg, you’re a lightweight 😊 3. Happy 30th birthday 🎂 4. Money DOES buy happiness 💰 5. It’s the ultimate tent, TALL guy ⛺️
Lol thanks Dave. We are engaged. Money can buy tents and other camping gear so yeah definitely aids in happy times. To be honest going out with gear 1/3 of the cost would be just as fun. Going to watch your vid now.
Congratulations, do what I do and from time to time post about your love for her on Instagram, it reduces the “which hut are you staying overnight at next DMs, seriously”. Re gear prices, I get a real kick out of repurposed Op shop junk for my primal wild-camps and it keeps the channel in fresh items and is less expensive though I think you must have a money tree in your backyard 🤑
@@OutdoorsmanDave lol I have not had these messages am I doing something wrong lol. I want to builder a shelter in some remote place in kahurangi im sure doc will love it. Great content it would be. I have a weak spot for new gear which maybe isn’t financially wise but yolo have to support the economy
Hi...my recent experience with the Nemo Hornet... throu hike GR20 (Corsica, France)... I had a 2.2 kg tent which I considered to be proper for windy conditions, my coleague had Nemo Hornet, dizzing me to have the tent of 1/3 th weight of mine (1,5 l of water difference) ...at refugee Monte cisco was a high wind gust and Nemo Hornet was teared completley, mine protected me without damage. Nemo is a nice tent but only for areas with no wind.
Yeah I don’t expect the nemo to be very robust. As I say in the video I will only use when I know weather is good or I can pitch in sheltered spots. Thanks for the comment.
Hello! I’m a pattern tent designer and I really like your chanel. Can you add the sub for video, please? Because my english is not fluently. Thank you so much!
I have this little "inovative thing" on my 7 years old tent. Good review but nothing special about the tent. Hard pass for me unless it is 1/2 the price.
If you're splitting hairs over the weight of the pegs, you're doing it wrong. Packing light makes sense to a degree, but much of this has become a numbers game fad that doesn't translate to anything resembling a noticeable difference on your back.
Let me know if you enjoyed the quick vid about the nemo tent and if you would like to see me ramble about some of my other bits of kit.
Kmart cup please. Also Albert review would be useful
@@antonfrench2254 I have two k Kmart cups. All good in the wood, features a lot recently and the plastic blue cup. I can do both you desire me todo so.
@@AbelandVictoria both and more. Cups are such a tactile functional and potentially aesthetic piece of gear. What is the perfect cup?
Idn probably porcelain 😂 what an experience
Happy birthday!! 🎉❤ enjoy the tent! Although I am hoping I can come on some trips with you soon

@@AbelandVictoria Standard, No where enough cash for DCF/cuban fibre one. and I also wanted bigger tent as xmid-2pro is tad smaller.
@@Upsidedownorangejuice haha yeah fair enough the price of these tents are rather staggering
Appreciate the thorough tent review. Very helpful! Great job! 👍
Thanks. I’ll be taking it out tomorrow for a test
Your woman is a keeper bro ♥️ i’m sold on the Osmo, getting the 2p size for myself!
The 2p would be pretty spacious for one. One this time note i think the length is slight less on the 2p. Something to consider
Thanks for the no nonsense review .
No worries hope you found it useful
great video, ive seen most people say get the 2p even for 1 person for this tent but you make it seem not too small

Great review my friend! Lot of love and respect from a solo mountain hiker friend from the Lower Chitral District of Pakistan.

Great review.
Perhaps a little history on the hornet line? Is it available in other colors or 2p?
Hey heaps on info here on TH-cam about all the hornet line. I’m just giving my initial thoughts on this particular tent😀
Great review!!
Beautiful tent, I have the hornet elite from the year prior. Love the video on it!
Nice. How has it been for you? The yellow fly on the older hornet is cool

Looks like a winner so far! Nice hope the video was useful in your decision 👍
Awesome. I'm homeless in chch and am.on the side of the port hills stealh mode and loving it
What kind of tent stakes are you planning on getting? Who makes your sleeping bag, mattress and backpack?
I have some sea to summit ones that are far lighter. After using the nemo a bit tho I can see why they put these bigger stakes with the tent. A lot of tension goes onto each stake.

Doesn’t go very low. Tent isn’t really designed for rough conditions

About to post a vid using the tent. Check it out will show you in-depth
@@AbelandVictoria perfect, thanks mate.
Do you have a favorite footprint or will you buy the hornet footprint
I got the 1p hornet footprint.
