Thanks for this video and a small update suggestion tie some ribbons on you guy wire like for wrapping presents. That should make them much easier for you to see them. Have a great day!
That's it, I'm sold on this piece of kit. I've looked at dozens of tents and set-ups trying to decide what might work for me. I wanted to wild/stealth camp but at 71 my joints tell me they don't intend walking for miles and the rest of me says I need to be warm and comfortable. So, I reckon local bike rides into the woodlands around me with this tent and a stove would be ideal. When I was in the forces I lived in 12X12 tents for the best part of 4 years on one posting and although I didn't fully realise or appreciate it at the time, I loved those days. I've camped out since then but now want a level of comfort and practicality that smaller tents don't afford. So thank you for your film, you've helped me make my mind up. Oh, and you live in a very beautiful part of the world.
Glad the video is of help in decision making. These tents come in so many variations it’s hard to choose. For me this tent is, pitch outer first, free standing, so can move about to find that ideal final pitch. Roomy enough for stove ,wood one person ,a table, bike panniers , rucksack etc. it’s about 4kg which is good for the size. The stove about 2kg but not actually weighed it yet.
@@cowalexplorer The video's definitely helped. I have a tent stove already but an older steel one, still serviceable though. Next problem though is hiding the tent from the missus and the inevitable "what have you gone and bought now?"...😄
Beautiful scenery! It is a sharp contrast to the high Sierra Nevada, where I have also briefly seen a pair of Egrets in Spring with partial snow melt around an alpine lake. Tip: When the poles have many sections, it's better to separate the sections starting from the center. The cord starts with loose tension, but as one works from one end of the pole to the other, the tension progressively builds. It takes a little more effort to start splitting roughly halfway, but it reduces the cord tension as one works towards the pole ends.. (pole sets commonly consist of an uneven number (e.g. 9).
Good point. I’ll need to band them once they’re ready to be packed. Putting them all in one bag, on next set up it’s a nightmare to work out what’s what. 🤔🤣
@@cowalexplorer I'm impressed you managed to pack it down well enough to transport on a mountain bike. Now, if you can do that while following Danny MacAskill's line on the Isle of Skye, that will be a first :) ua-cam.com/video/4Ym2F-tHdkk/v-deo.html
Ha. It came as 10ft so left it like that. Have used in my other tent , but it’s not much taller at 1600mm 😂 if I keep damaging it I can cut bits off. Gonna order a non rolling sectional pipe for camping from the truck - it’ll only be 6ft. 👍
I've just came across your channel and I enjoyed watching this. Hope to see more camping content from you. Get yourself some tattie scones at least to spice things up for breakfast 😅 You're on to a good thing 👍
I hope you just turned it upside down. If you cut part of your chimney off you might regret it later. If sparks come out of the damaged part after you turn it upside down and tried to repair it, then you should cut it off. If you have a collapsible titanium stove that vut off piece of pipe can be folded and used at the top back part of the stove for a baffle. Baffles can help with secondary combustion if enough oxygen is present. They can help produce more heat for longer burns with less wood. One manufacturer says you get twice the heat with half of the wood for twice the burn time. That's only possible with baffles and decent front air vents that are easily controlled but allow lots of air in. A damper in the chimney needs to be turned way down to keep heat in the stove too. Actually supplemental air from other places can help too. My stove has vented walls too.
Yes turn it upside down each time I’m out. After rolling it up for packing it took the worst out. It is a 10ft pipe where most seem to be be 6ft so have a bit to spare 😂 but for now It’s still its original length. 👍
@@donolinger6904 yeah, my tallest tent is 1600mm but any bigger the 3000mm pipe would be ideal. I’ve just ordered a sectional pipe as well, 7 sections at 360mm each. Will use that if not travelling far.
@@cowalexplorer- I don't normally screw around with my messed up foil chimney but I've got another one that's never been used. I also have a segmented chimney that I'd normally use because my back won't allow long walks and I'll be parked close to the campsite with everything close in the car. It might be on a bike and possibly using a bike trailer. Some might be on my back but only because my hip belt supports all of the weight. My backpack doesn't hurt my back. Not when my hips bear the load. My back is still messed up though and I never know how far I can walk. Rolling back support enables much longer walks but I want a bike for that and for carrying extra gear. Plus I can ride it for miles.

Great idea for daytime, maybe if I paid more attention too 😂 Gettiing used to the tent now 👍
@@cowalexplorer 😀!
Glad you survived and didn't burn the tent, anyway looks good and will certainly keep you warm during the winter😉👍
Aye, it went well apart from the wind when setting up, was a nightmare. 😂

I was searching for hot tent cuz I love camping so much. We have same hobby.
Yes it’s great to get out when you can, the hot tent allows year round adventures , in comfort. 👍
Looked a great spot, one of my favourite Pomoly tents👍🏴🏕👌
I’m back out tonight in the Leo. 👍 That site is now deep in silt after recent rain storm brought everything off the hill.
@@cowalexplorer Enjoy👍🏴🏕👌
@@Colinrussellscottishwildcamper cheers. Just uploaded a pic to wherever it goes on UA-cam 😂……. I think.
Not sure your chimney is long enough tbh 🤔 🏴🏴

I like this Pomoly tent...Leo 2, I guess your description read. What is a Traveller 3?
I want do this as well...
The Traveller 3 is the stove, same manufacturer Pomoly. 👍
@@cowalexplorer Thank you..

Aye they’d be a good addition to the next trip. I’ll put it on the list. 👍👍👍

If I wanted a cooking show I'd watch one
Not sure that was cooking 😂
@@cowalexplorer Hey bro great vid
@@brandonedwards1181 thanks for watching. Hope to return to this site soon. 👍
Absolute perfect location, can you get to it by van to camp for the night?
It’s 4 miles up a forestry road, no vehicle access 😢
oh ok… anymore than 50ft I get a taxi lol
