TAIJI 1 BETTER* than X-DOME ! - Solo Wild Camping in the Kilpatrick Hills
A wee hike in the rain to a solid night out wild camping in the 3FUL Gear Taiji 1 tent . Excited to make a couple of modifications to this brilliant little shelter and I'm starting with the door loops. Had a free Saturday so decided to explore the hills above Glasgow and wild camped at an old farmstead ruin . I'll get pelters for this title and thumbnail - but I really mean it :D
* Better for me in the winter!

An enjoyable and long awaited paddle camp on the beautiful Loch Katrine to test out the modifications I've made to the 3FUL Lanshan 1. Taking some inspiration from @longsufferinghiker and his vast array of mod tips for the Lanshan tents I've managed to improve this tent a great deal. It's now super quick and easy to pitch, and very effectively too Looking forward to more wild camping adventures...

Wild Camping with the Naturehike VIK 1 - Campsie Fells, Scotland
Переглядів 6167 місяців тому
The Naturehike Vik 1 may not be the best ultralight wild camping tent in the world but in my opinion it's up there if you take into account it's price. It certainly looked after me well on this trip where heavy rain and hail were amongst the many elements as we were off the beaten path in search of a water supply and a pitch in the Campsies.

    Tbh not sure it can be realistically compared to a tent nobody yet has ? Pretty sure that’s more about driving clicks than reality Plus, just so you know, the x boil tabs insert on the other side to what you used here which gives a full and sturdy round shape.

    As has been said, you cannot say a tent that isn't even out yet is second to one that is. And you're not comparing like with like. The Durston is coming with a solid inner. It's really unfair to say that the 3F UL is better without even seeing, let alone, trying the X-Dome. Not the crap I'd expect to hear and it calls your inpartiality into question. I'm unsubscribing.

    • @campingcaledonia76
      @campingcaledonia76 21 день тому

      Hi Andrew thank you for visiting the channel. I would and did choose the Taiji as an alternative to my Bobcat but I don't think there's a huge difference between the Taiji and the Helm, I've never owned a Helm so can't speak from experience on it.. You'll save money getting the 3FUL and also get a groundsheet included. The material on the Helm is big denier poly vs 15D ripstop silicone coated nylon on the Taiji. Out of the two I'd say the Helm will withstand the highest winds, but the Taiji will hold it's own too. See Andrew Park's video for a walking pole hack to strengthen wind resistance. Helm 4000HH v 5000 on the Taiji. I think the Taiji is better looking and the brown version blends into the environment better. The Helm is a tad heavier too. Either tent will fit the bill though. Thanks again, let me know which tent you went for 🙂⛺

      @campingcaledonia76 . Sorry to ask again pal but I come to you as you are a bobcat user too. I am wanting a robust 1 man tent that isn't too heavy but more room than the bobby. I was torn between the helm 1 or the Taiji 1 however I have noticed that the 3f UL has just dropped to £109 or £1@9 for 4 season inner. That is nearly 100 cheaper than the helm. I like a budget but is it a belter for my needs. Basically I am torn to save up for helm or give this a go as not to many reviews on this but lots on the helm but it is older.

    Great 1st impressions of this tent. I would love to see this go head to head in some bad weather with the owx bobcat 1 that i own and use on wild camps. I love the bobby and its a fantastic solid tent. The only issue i have is i find the aleeping pod very tight and i am not a big chap. Its better with the mods or trekking pole hack at the back but its atill snug. The Taiji looks a lot roomier but is it as robust as the bobby as if so it could be my answer to sleeping better on the fells. Cheers in advance

    • @campingcaledonia76
      @campingcaledonia76 Місяць тому

      Totally agree with you Andrew, I absolutely adore the Bobcat. I like it so much I forgive the really small sleeping area. The Taiji 1 is FAR roomier inside and while I don’t think it’s as bombproof as the Bobcat, it’s going to withstand a decent amount of heavy wind and rain. Not crazy weather but in ‘normal’ bad weather it’ll be fine. Thanks for watching fella ⛺️👌🏻

      That's brilliant Jim, it's a lovely wee spot - nice views out over the Loch onto the Galloway Hills - although I didn't see much of that on my last outing! The boot covers are great aren't they? Just about long enough to get you in the boat with dry feet and much less cumbersome than wellies. Were you in the X100? 🛶 👍

    Hi, Ive just bought a taiji 1 here in Australia, had to buy it from 3ful online store.I based my purchase on reviews of the taiji 2, I needed a 1 person freestanding double layer tent, which did not reguire the inner to be pitched first. I use this style of tent for kayak touring.I did not realise that it came with the extra die down points on the poles, so had ordered a pack of 4 additional clips with my initial purchase. I didnt get any extra cord so ordered more guylines from 3ful. Apparently, according to 3ful the short pole doesn't get clipped on, it just rests on top of the two main poles, which are both clipped. When I bought mine a month ago, it only came with the 3 season inner. By the time I ordered my extra guys, 2 weeks ago, they had 4 season inners in stock, for another A$110. Their website still doesn't reflect this. Great to see your review. You appear as pleased as I am. Im going to add a small vestibule from a nylon tarp so I can cook in a larger area. We must think alike. I bought the same chair so I could sit inside or under the tarp. Im heading off in 3 weeks for another 200klm paddle of the Murray River. we are in our late 60s, so we are breaking the river into sections. Thanks again for the review. Cheers, Peter

    That is a good scoop for you to post - the first known review of the Taiji 1 tent. It certainly seems to tick a lot of boxes. Your camping experience immediately identified a couple of modifications for it. Nothing unsurmountable for you though. I like the space inside, with good head clearance and the internal walls not likely to touch the outer nor you and your sleeping bag. Its 5000 HH is well better than most tents. Its slim footprint will hopefully allow a greater choice of suitable pitches for you, especially with the tent design allowing you to pick it up and readjust its position, as terrain and views dictate. I will be interested in your future thoughts on the tent, once you have thoroughly tested it under a variety of conditions. A comparison with other reasonably priced tents will be interesting. All in all, a good video about a good looking tent!
