      I would say that from experience with tents that don’t have it, it (kind of) is, a footprint is good for preventing anything from puncturing the bottom of the tent as they are thicker than the inner tent floor and also provides some peace of mind when it comes to my air mat not getting a puncture either

    I’m new to wild camping even to camping in general having never pitched a tent on my own before. I had one practice run with this in very windy conditions it was simple to pitch. I’ve only wild camped twice so far can easily have the tent pitched in under ten minutes. It would only be a two man tent if sharing with my wife. I share mine with my large dog there’s plenty of room for rucksack my coat and bits and pieces. Other bits like boots I keep in the vestibules. The wild camps I’ve been on I only sleep in it it is very comfy I have to admit I wouldn’t want to spend a whole day awake in it. As for quality mine seems very well made with very smooth YKK zips. Headroom is ok just but I guess it’s a compromise as it is low and stealthy. I was considering various hooped bivouac bags but I needed the extra room for my dog he absolutely loves the tent tries to hog my Camfy P3 air mattress before I get in lol. Overall I really love this tent and for the money really think it is excellent it’s always going to be a compromise of some sort. I do agree with you about the inner door it keeps flapping down, call me stupid but I can’t seem to secure it back properly. I might just stick a couple of bits of Velcro on it. Interesting video I love to see other’s opinions of this tent cheers

    • @LeoManAndMountain
      @LeoManAndMountain 3 місяці тому

      I suppose everyone has different preferences and I know plenty of people who love theirs like yourself and it’s great that (hopefully) you’re enjoying Wildcamping, but these styles of tents don’t suit my needs (as someone who’s a bit on the larger side) I kind of knew that coming into this review so maybe there is a negative bias towards it but that’s thing with reviews, they can all be biased, I try not to be but I’m not perfect (just like the video 🤣) I hope you carry on enjoying the outdoors in whatever tent you like because at the end of the day the important part is getting out there and enjoying the outdoors, thanks for watching 👌
