A lightweight stealthy wild camp in a farmers field

- Would you consider a green tent in the corner of a farmers field stealthy or discrete wild camping or do we need to hide behind McDonalds or in middle of Roundabout to be stealthy?
Here we walked my usual Cheddar walk and found this field to pitch the Hilleberg Niak for a night out Part 2

Nice camp . Your Niak for winter probably wants to a bit like the Unna which is a tad smaller . I got the Unna and wish they give it the Niak Enan treatment 😅 id buy the summer version of an Unna in a flash , they could get it below 1.5kg no probs me reckons. Unfortunately Hilleberg dont seem too intersted in ultrralight tent variations which is bit of a shame as its a big market. They are a bit like Blackberry phones me think in there thinking 😅 great tents though
Unna with porch lol thanks for great comment and watching
If it's really windy.
Always stake down one side of the tent BEFORE you put up the tent poles.
This secures one side of the tent with the 2 stakes with the wind to your back.
Then install the poles and then the other 2 tent poles.
I’m really gonna have to get my boys out camping with me, would be a great one for memories sake! I have 4 dachshunds, it would by no means be relaxing! 🐶 🐶🐶🐶 great vid Tony, thanks ☺️ ATB, Sarah
That would be great vid for you lol
Tony, You almost went kite flying, Box tent kite:) Plenty of space in that kite errr I mean tent:)
Hi Sandy yeah absolutely lol embarrassing but won’t do that again maybe freestanding not so good haha looking forward to catching up soon
lovely looking bit of kit. love the bit of you unloading the pack it was like the tardis! TFS Steven
Thanks Steven 😀 my Marry Poppins bag 😆
The birdsong made me feel nostalgic 😊
They were busy tweeting in that hedgerow lol 😆 spring is on the way
Dimpsy is a new one for me 😄
Ahhhhh awwww beautiful that made me feel nostalgic and I'll tell you why I was on holiday with dad in usa long ago and we used the wind dimpsy there and the yanks were what's that word they loved it lol maybe it's a southern UK word for twilight getting dark bur not dark it's dimpsy lol
Like you, I found the Niak to be an accidental kite in just a light gust. Mine had some abrasion on the pole sleeves after encountering Rocky Mountain granite, even with one peg in the windward side. I like the vestibule on the Niak but found it much more breezy a tent than the Enan, probably due to its higher profile. It found a new home after a few trips with similar reactions. I now have the Unna and finally scored a mesh inner for it after waiting 2 1/2 years for HB to start making them again. The Unna lacks the vestibule, but its a much more robust execution than the Niak.
Hi Stuart
Yeah the Unna looks interesting how do you find no porch ? I see Messner has one and seems to manage with it . I must admit that does put me off a bit. Not Messner lol too much 😂 but the lack of porch I was very very lucky in nothing behind me close. So hot away with it. It was an easy edit out but I'm above that these things happen and deal with it and learn. I can imagine you'd have been rather annoyed. I can't work out if I like the niak or its just OK... its good for its position as it were but for UK etc its struggling in some ways .
@@TonyHobbs If it's not raining then it doesn't really matter. However if it's raining a lot, then the lack of cover over the entrance is a bit of an issue. Of course some people put up an extra tarp to cover the entrance, but imo, that's a total faff. Also where I live (Ireland) it's usually blowing and raining, so managing to get a tarp positioned correctly over the entrance is more than just a faff in bad weather. TLDR: not raining, the Unna is grand. Lots of rain, the lack of vestibule can be an issue.
Are you sure that Lizzie was making that noise and not you Tony..!!!..you were embarrassed weren't you and just blamed the wee pooch........😉
Yes very awkward moment 😬 😅 gotta blame the pets for smells n noises 😆
Good little spot tucked away in the corner of the field Tony 👍, always great to see the deer kicking about too, a 4 season version of that tent would be good, or maybe a soulo XL 🤣,atb Mick
Yeah Hilleberg need a bigger soulo lol imagine the weight 🤣
@@TonyHobbs yeah would be a heavy one for sure 🤣
I've got the niak and I love it the space is perfect I use it in winter but not if snow is forecast because like you point out the catenary cuts would allow snow to be blown in I've got a set of 10mm poles for winter camps as well.but if they did this niak without the catenary cuts I'd definitely buy 1 I suppose the unna is the 4 season version just minus the vestibule and I have thought about getting that but if the winters stay as they are is it worth the expense for just a few days of snow.
I'd miss the porch in unna but some manage
Great comment thanks 😊
great vlog brother.... you should of said its 90mph winds with 40feet of snow.....lol cant wait for the next one
Howling life threatening wind lol at least when I used this on dartmoor last year in strong ish wind 🤣 ops not my fault 😅 my usual spot cam catch wind .... it did fold and flatten a bit and I thought oh f... but this poles are flexible lol and I was more careful and ironically it was when I had door open 🤣 but it's not a windy tent .... unless I'm in it
Thanks Simon 😀
Lovely looking tent Tony , Great little set up
Thanks Lee 😀 it's sweet if weather not too bad ... hope you're well...
I think you inherited the Yorkie from your ex you once said? Nice to see you took it on as so many people just get rid of dogs in this situation, they are good companions for wild camping I love taking my pointer with me in the summer. Do you know iof anyone makes a dog bed similar to our Big Agnes or Nemo blow up beds but smaller? as my dog is getting a little older I would like him a bit of extra comfort this season
Yes correct. Not long after she moved in she wanted a Yorkie (its funny in a way as long ago dad and I were out and saw someone with a tiny dog and we both laughed may as well have a rat 😆 🤣) so obviously daft husband gives in ok so lizzy appeared by immaculate inception. Unfortunately her poor mental health meant couldn't cope with lizzy me or anything and only so much can do. For sure opens eyes to those who just have a small struggle vs out n out can't cope with life itself. Lizzy is perfect well behaved just barks at lots or things lol but not incessant. Mum dad can look after her at mo on certain trips certain time of year.... but yeah I'd not be able to toss her out lol... the Mrs sadly had to go (I tried for over six years) we keep in touch but with lots of distance and only phone we keep loosely in touch and generally better for her definitely better for me just exhausted now lol
I use foam matting like zlite type for dogs esp lizzy or with me which summer no as I'd be concerned ticks getting to me so far all my years only one tick ever got half a nibble I able to push it off. Or a cheap air mat cut it short and iron it sealed. I believe.... but not sure possible. It potentially works on Thermarest lol enjoy your doggy camps
Nice one Tony.
About as green and inconspicuous as a rat poo in a sugar basin! Still, good effort 👍🏻
Great comment lol thanks one tries
Am with you on the wildcamping on a roundabout or on A road camping next to a bridge or ghost around my tent strange noises outside my tent marlakey whats that all about never like that on TH-cam 10 years ago we had proper wildcampers like you and the late Daveswildcamping, Paul Kilburn and the Muss ect...
Exactly and muss and dave used to camp in pretty harsh wind that would make this lot blush 😆 🤣 they definitely started high wind TH-cam 😄
It's gone weird now beyond me 😆
I’ll trade you my ULTAMID 2 - ULTRALIGHT PYRAMID TENT with full insert ?
I was borrowing it
Do you like yours
@@TonyHobbs Yeah the niak is just fast to pitch .
@alaskanborn3459 true it's easy but I'll take a mid any day even if more faff lol
