Hi Alex. Great to see you back out. Lovely video. That tent looks a solid option for sure. You should try a nyloflume pack liner. Cheap, ultra light, waterproof and tough for what it is. Keeps everything in pack dry and no need for a cover. 👍
You made a nice film there Alex. I've not seen that tent before, I agree with you about the Footprint idea. I did the same on my last trip. Take care Grant 👍.
@@grantswheelstohills much appreciated Grant! This tent is my favorite by a long shot (even after only it for almost a year, lol). It’s got lots of room, weighs under 1 kg with all the pegs/cords and the solid inner is nice for wind and rain… Cheers buddy!
I had to get the laptop out once I saw you posted. I knew my phone wouldn’t do it justice! Thank you for the beautiful shots! It was nice to be able to listen to rain with you, without worrying you were going to get struck by lightning or blown away! Being the storm chaser you are, it was nice to see you enjoying the beauty instead of living on the edge. 😂 Happy trails and travels!
@@journeywithnichole hi Nichole! Nice to hear from you. Yup, this was a relatively relaxing camp. No hurricane force winds, that may be on the next one, lol. Cheers!
Great looking hiking tent. I've only got experience with free standing tents but I'm more and more looking at these kind. Put a plastic cola bottle cap inside your pegs bag, very useful to put pressure on the peg without hurting your hand.
Great video, brilliant content. . Saw the last one when you tried to put your tent up in incredible conditions. Top effort. I recently bought the Dipole 1 DW, and I think it's one of my fav tents.. Really underrated and not a lot of exposure compared to many other similar tents iMO.
@@dannyknight8082 much appreciated Danny and agreed, the Dipole is a fantastic tent. For the weight, there aren’t many tenta out there with so many features. Cheers
@@sebastianwhpx298 Hi Sebastian. I ended up playing tourist quite a bit since I caught a pretty bad cold. Hopefully I’ll return around October and do more camps. Cheers buddy 🍻
I'm on the lookout for a lightweight spacious 1 man that can fit stuff in and is ok in wind and rain (ie. the UK 😂) so thanks for showing this tent, looks good. Great relaxed informative style youve got.
@@Chilternwildcamper if you don’t mind a trekking pole tent, this on is fantastic... Lots of features and solid in the wind with the additional guy lines. Glad you liked the video. ATB 👍
Hey man, great video as usual. I'm about to do a thru-hike in Picos de Europa (spain) in about a week. I have the same tent and I recently did the seam sealing (crossing my fingers I did it correctly). I was wondering what kind of cord did you get for the side pegs. I'll probably need to get some cord attachment to make sure my tent doesnt fold under bad weather conditions. Love the fact you used it under some rain. Can't wait to finally put it to test. Cheers.
@@nymuelovan I’m sure it’ll be a great trip. I’ve seen lots of videos of Picos De Europa and it looks amazing. So I replaced the two Apex guy lines with 10 foot ones (about 3 meters each). This will make the tent more stable if you get hit by a crosswind. Also, I added 3 foot (~1 meter) guy lines to the end struts. And finally, I always make sure I bring at least six long pegs. Four for the corners and two for the apex guylines. Let me know how the trip goes. I’d love to hear about it! All the best 👍👍
Hi, Lovely video. I just wondered how you edited your videos, if there was a special programme or something? Tent looks interesting. I have an xmid but find it flaps in my face a lot during wind. How does that compare?
@@lloydcozens9346 Hey there! I use a program called Final Cut Pro. It takes a little bit of learning, but there are plenty of good TH-cam videos on how to use this editor. I purchased the X-mid 1 before this one and found it too small for my liking. And yes, it’s not as sturdy in the wind. The Dupole (silpoly version) does surprisingly well. Hope this helps! All the best…
Your equipment information is, as always, very helpful. Beautiful video with your drone shots and Timelapse. Well done!
Thanks Mike!
Just an all round really nice video with great shots, atmospherics and useful details about the tent 👍
@@hamishdb thank you! Cheers
Loving this mate. Glad I stumbled upon your channel! 👌🏻
Many thanks Justin! Cheers 👍

@@garynesbitt5078 Thanks for that recommendation Gary. I just placed an order for one. It seems like a simple and effective choice.
All the best 🍻

Nice video. Thank you. Now new is the Dipolo 2 DW . For me and my dog a perfect tent.
@@raymondlogister6828 many thanks, I appreciate it. I was thinking about picking up the two person version for my son and I actually.
Cheers

@@tubulzr thanks for the input. I will try that next time.
Nice video , just subbed. Interesting looking tent too. Thanks for posting 👍
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed…
Great ultralight set up Alex, the scenery was as usual an excellent pick.
