A chilly night in the Alpkit Tarpstar 1

I set this one up with the inner along the back although the ends did stick out a bit, but I knew it wasn't going to rain. I like this set up better because it gives me a better view out through the door.

Once again, stunning landscapes, skies, heavenly bodies and wildlife all captured brilliantly sir. The Alpkit shelter looks right at home amongst it, and a most palatial place to doss! Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed it. Cheers. 👍

Another gorgeous camping location and that tarp shelter looks great! That shot of the moon was incredible.- I've never been able to manage anything like that with either my phone or my GoPro.

Thank you. I shoot most of my videos using a (quite old by now) Panasonic camcorder which has x90 zoom, the model is a HC-V260 and is now discontinued. I use the GoPro for shots around camp where a wide angle is needed. Thanks for watching. 👍

Fabulous landscapes. What are your thoughts about the liveability of the inner ? It may be the camera angle but at one point your head looked as if it was really close to the mesh. I was wondering how roomy it is in practice for taller hikers. Many thanks. All the best.

There is not that much room in the inner, you can sit up in the middle but because of the pyramid shape the sides slope downwards if you know what I mean. As for lying down I should think there is room for someone who is around the 6' 2-3in. The Tarpstar 1 is what it is I'm afraid. I plan on using it next time without the inner and that gives plenty of room inside. Thanks for watching. 👍

@@ysgolgerlan Thanks for responding. I am in pursuit of the eternal quest of lightness, space and comfort 😆. Alpkit do a Tarpstar 4 which is a little bit bigger but have not made a 1p inner to match its dimensions.

Does this mean the Lavuu has been demoted? 😢

[@ysgolgerlan]

No chance, you cannot beat the smell and feel of the canvas lavvu and I will keep it for winter use. It is quite heavy though and the Alpkit Tarpstar is ideal for lightweight trips. Diolch am gwylio. 👍
