    Had Scarp 2 for over a decade. Short guy lines work very well to keep end poles upright. I put silicone lines across the inner floor to keep sleep mat in place. It is by far the best backpacking tent ever. The velcro fastners for the door work very well and have never been a problem. It has been up many Munros with me and survived many storms without cross poles. I have them and never used them so removed flappy fastners on outside.

      Thanks for the feedback Colin. I'll see how I get on with the short end guys but it's more to do with simple geometry. I definitely think the tie backs are an upgrade as well. As for the storm worthiness that's really reassuring to know.

    Love the updates. On my 2019 model it was easy enough to make the velcro ties not toggle and loop. Loved the sound of your daughter happily playing, was looking forward to her guest appearance. It was actually the road that was more encroaching, maybe a lavelier mic? Good job overall. Last ultimate update imo would be if they added adjustability to the internal mesh vents..going to look at my own Scarp mods video now to see if the door clips are there!

    This is a superbly useful video highlighting the updated features of the 2022 model, it’s actually more helpful than the Tarptent website, well done.
    I have a 2019 Scarp 1 and while I think the fundamental design of the tent is excellent (strength, weight, space are all superb) I feel it really suffers from a lack of attention to detail. The 2022 model fixes three of my biggest gripes which are: the end struts falling out as you pitch the tent, the awful pockets and the lack of adjustment on the crossing pole holders.
    Like you I am not a fan of the stock guy lines. I think they are too short and I also don’t like that to adjust them you have to pull on the loose end of the guy line, this is awkward when wearing gloves or you have cold hands. On my tent I have replaced all the guy lines with longer 3mm Hilleberg guys and I have put Hilleberg style clam cleat line locks at the top and bottom of each pitch lock strut which makes it easier for me to adjust the tension. I also find it confusing they don’t include the side guys as standard, I’ve never seen a UK user not have to instal their own.
    I am pleased they have replaced the velcro tie backs on the outer doors with a toggle system. Have they done this for the inner doors too or is it still a length of cord you have to tie back yourself?
    I have also experienced the clips that hold the crossing poles just falling off, so I have found you have to watch the straps don’t get loose.
    As I say, I think the Scarp is fundamentally an excellent design but my 2019 model needs refinement. There are silly little niggles that shouldn’t have taken 3 or 4 iterations of the tent to address. I am not a cheerleader for Hilleberg but if this tent was one of their designs I feel confident they would have addressed these issues from the offset. However I am pleased to see it looks like Tarptent are listening to their customers. If they could iron out all the daft little niggles they would have an almost perfect tent. This is the first video of yours I have watched, I have subscribed and look forward to seeing what you get up to with your tent.

    • @mandoesmountains
      @mandoesmountains  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you for that, excellent input and I agree with all those points listed.
      Can confirm the inner door is still the old style elastic straps, weirdly I don't mind them to be honest but why not just duplicate the new outer tie backs?
      In my experience there isn't the perfect tent, but some (like the scarp) could be close with the refinements they've made and the ones you refer to as well.
      I think it would also potentially benefit from metal pole strap tensioners for extra strength/longevity at a tiny weight penalty. Especially given they're on a critical point of the tent.

    • @MrProgressiveRock
      @MrProgressiveRock 3 роки тому +2

      That's weird they haven't changed the inner door tiebacks, strange decision to change the outer but not the inner. I completely agree about having metal pole strap tensioners. Thanks for the repply and I hope you get on well with your new tent.

    I saw a little hack involving the noise prone cross-pole clips too, if you attach them to a couple of hairbands they stay noise free and saves you having to remove them when not in use!

  • @davids9549
    @davids9549 3 роки тому +3

    Great review thanks - I just got mine, and agree about the guying, I'll make the same mods to mine. Also a bit disappointed that the crossing poles have been 'upgraded' for the 2022 edition to the same gauge aluminium tubing as the arch pole. This adds 96g to the weight over that of the previous crossing poles, which is not insubstantial. I asked Tarptent why they've done this, and Henry replied that it was because they've dropped the lighter gauge poles from the rest of their range so it didn't make sense to stock it just for the Scarp's crossing poles. That apart, I'm really thrilled with this tent and look forward to using it soon.

    • @mandoesmountains
      @mandoesmountains  3 роки тому +1

      I think for the sake of 96g I'd be willing to make sacrifices elsewhere for the extra strength in the crossing poles. Let me know what you think once you've been out!

    • @davids9549
      @davids9549 3 роки тому

      @@mandoesmountains What I meant was that Tarptent didn't increase the crossing pole weight to increase their strength (there were no issues I've heard of with the strength of the existing units), but purely because they don't see it as a convenient option to continue procuring the lighter gauge. 96g is a lot (to some of us) - if there are 96g 'sacrifices' to be safely made elsewhere I hope I've already done that!
      Elsewhere in Henry's written reply he assures me that crossing poles are entirely unnecessary unless snow loading is expected - not quite the same as what it says on his website, and certainly not what most experienced users report.

    Hi. Great walk through. I was one of the first users of Scarp 2 here in Norway back in 2010/11, and is was love at first site. However, I found out that carbon crossing poles was not the wisest choice when lighting strike hiking above threeline on flat exposed plateaus. Without the crossing poles, all eight straps/connectors for the poles was driving me mad in heavy wind as they "drummed" and scratched the outer tent. So had to let it go, and made a great gift for my nephew as a starter tent under the threline.

    • @mandoesmountains

  • @alexonthemountain8343
    @alexonthemountain8343 3 роки тому +2

    I just got this tent as well.
    I don’t think you can lengthen the pitchlock guylines if you plan on using the optional crossing poles unfortunately. You would alter the angle of the crossing poles and they wouldn’t push up high enough againstthe main arch pole (not sure if that makes sense, a bit hard to explain). You can extend the guyline that is between the two ends (between the corner pitchlocks), I think it would help although Henry says it wouldn’t make a difference surprisingly.
    Anyhow great overview of the vid. Cheers from California 👍

    • @mandoesmountains
      @mandoesmountains  3 роки тому +1

      Potentially an issue but I'm not talking about lengthening the pitchlock guys so long as to make it a very shallow angle. Also with the moveable crossing pile grommets on line loc tensioners I think it would be less of an issue.

      @@mandoesmountains Sounds good, Please let me know if you could, I was thinking the same thing as you; that they seem a bit short. Especially after using a Hilleberg tent…
      A couple of things I wish were different:
      1. A fly the extends even more to the ground.
      2. The guyline attachments on the main arch aren’t sewed in the direction of where the pegs would go, Instead they’re sewed in at 90 degrees. It seems like that would place uneven tension on them and could potentially cause some issues in strong winds.
      Other than that the tent seems to be great. I can’t wait to use it in a good storm to see how it handles 😃

      Mine too. I recall reading Henry Shires’ response to the same concern; he explained the engineering maths behind it: basically the 45 angle effectively clamps the pitchlok to the ground. Lessening the angle means the ends lose some stability in high winds. Maybe better to weigh the pegs down instead?
