I love the Nevis tent Ive had one for about 6 years, it needs nik waxed every year now though because its started to wet through, well worth the money.
Today, where there is so much tension between people in one corner of the world, your videos like this give peace to the heart. God protect everyone from this difficult time
Great vid as always monty, I only like doing it in bad weather too lol, nothing better than the sound of rain on a tent, keep up the good work, love it
Lovely spot that! Not too far from the city. Have camped there several times 😀 I’m thinking about a Nevis 100 as well for the size/space it offers for a one man tent. Thanks for sharing!
Nice video mate, that’s my local quick camp area. Can be busy. I camped there one December to wake up to three guys turning up at 3am with a carry out! Very strange lol
Twice I've been at Bonaly now and it's ok. Harlaw is absolute murder in summer and a stay clear area. Worst camping trip ever lol. Thanks watching and commenting Pat. Appreciated mate.
Good video monty some trips are best unplanned sometimes ,gutted about the tent maybe have a look for a 2nd hand Nevin then you will have some spares for it then.
Cheers mate. And I upgraded my tent :) I get it next week but I'm not telling yous until I do a video on it :D Hope you are well mate and thanks again.
Vango have a repair division I'm sure Monty might be worth contacting them, excellent film it had it all.... Comedy, drama tinged with tragedy and a little romance. Atb Colin.
@@MontyOutdoors work is work my friend lol bit getting to try the new sleeping bag out in two weeks so can't wait , hopefully a bit of rain beside the river . Hope all is amazing with yourself
Bonaly res,nice wee spot,been up a few times,fishing and walking. Why I've not camped up the pentlands yet is beyond me,as its on my doorstep. That's a bummer about your tent monty. Not sure about the zip,but if you tape and re stitch the pegging point then go over it with storm sure,it's tough stuff. Turns to hard rubber. I've used it on waders and other things. Hope you can fix it mate. Can't wait fir the next video. Down boots are defo on the cards aswell as a pillow,maybe need to look at a few pillow reviews. ⛺️ 🔥 ⛰️
Mate, Pentland's is class, just stay away from the reservoirs in summer as they are campsites full of w@nks. Sadly the tent has passed away but a new member of the family has been added ;) Hugely recommend the boots and trekology pillow mate. Thanks again and all the best Brian!
Thank you for the video, seems like you end up by the side of Bonaly reservoir. Can you drink the water from the reservoir or you will have to bring water from home?
Hey love the film today I watch it a couple of days ago but I could comment, I got to say the wind was mad. Speaking of your tenet have had to throw it away or did you manage to get it fix?
It was their first EP mate: Sons of Kyuss. I love everything from them and find them to be very underrated in that genre. Can't beat a bit of Orange Goblin and Electric Wizard too :) Thanks for watching Adam :) All the best big man.
i have been using the cloud peak but just bought a oex bobcat 1 monty and isn,t it a sick little tent although there,s not much room in the bedroom bit there,s a big porch with a nice thick footprint and its warmer anough for the winter camping which i like. hey nice place that were you two are m8
Nice looking camp. I would definitely try and get the zip fixed. Cracking little tent. I have both the Banshee and the Nevis and love them both. I had the zip brake on a rucksack, went on UA-cam and watched a bunch of videos. Managed to repair it myself.
Great video. Loved seeing the weather and those tents side by side. Times must be tough, poor Gaz on the downgrade! Also, shame about the zip on your tent. Hope a repair is poss!
Not too shabby for a downgrade, that’s for sure. Getting out asap. I have plans Friday but then it’s weather dependant. I’m away for the Easter hols and I’m going to take my stuff then too. Camping in the Hebrides sounds great too xxx
Nice one lads. Moan the Pentos. Your love for Gaz, 1,2,3 aaaawww ❤️ Took ma wife to that spot a few years ago for her 1st ever wild camp. A clear night in June, but she wis like "Never again, too cauld." Wimin eh 🙄😉
Really enjoying your vids Monty! Being a Nevis owner I was going to leave a comment to say it's a solid wee tent for the price but then watched as the zip failed on you! You got through it though! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Mark! Super appreciated mate. It's a great wee tent, but sadly it is known for zip issues... I've replaced it and got an upgrade which you will all see in the next month! No problem and all the best mate.
Hello there Mr monty 👋, I've an idea for a sideline job for you - kite reviews 😂😂😂, hope you're keeping the good side out,good wishes headed your way from Ireland 🇮🇪❤️
Beautiful! The city view was lovely but the lake is so relaxing. That is a lot of trekking but beautiful campsite! How do you ever find each other? I love hearing that rain on the tent 🥰 Y'all crack me up, glad to see a fun camp. Hope you can salvage the tent, that's bummer. Great video as always, thank you for sharing!!
Hi Monty Thanks for your latest upload. I wish I was up in Scotland. Beautiful scenery even if it's raining or snowing. I am still saving up to afford the exped mattress. Take care and thanks for your inspiration. Cheers Mark.
Exped Synmat 7.5 is going for £70 mate!!! Belter. And glad you enjoyed the content, sir. Thank you for taking your time and supporting the channel, Mark.
Hi monty u gave us wind heavy rain u definitely due dry wild camp soon hope u got tent fixed but u looked like got ok nights camp keep it up lovely video see u on the next one take care monty
My Vango UL Helium also has zipper issues. The storm-flap gets super easily trapped on the zipper in the wind, and it is a total nightmare fixing it. I now only allow myself to operate the zipper with both hands. Defo the biggest weakness with Vango tents from what I have seen.
I've only heard of this problem exist in the Nevis, but thanks for sharing that your Helium has a similar issue. I've just bought a new Vango lol, so gonna be extra careful with the zipped door. Cheers again mate and all the best :)
Kyuss rock!! 🤘 Love that band, The singer has had a few projects, check out "Hermano" "slo burn" "unida" a drummer of kyuss is "brant bjork" he is a stoner rock legend, loads of his albums to get through! and Queens of the stoneage singer was the kyuss guitarist. You probably know all that already but just in case you didn't 😁👍 great vid man 👊
My mum had her zip replaced in her tent years ago, you could ring around to see if there are any repair shops or ask the manufacturer?? Good luck ,, are you any good with a needle🤣
Excellent video, very good content. Some stores do repair zips, you can get a double zip put in if you want, another option is to use very strong Velcro industrial strength, and the lady option is to get a new tent, maybe it's time for a new tent. I have the vango strave 200, very good in windy conditions, never had a problem, it copes very well in Irish weather in the south west. Anyways R.I.P Nevis.
I opted for the new tent, Abed, but thank you for the advice! Believe it or not, the new tent I got was the Vango Starav :) It's essentially the Nevis/Banshee on steroids! Thanks again mate and all the best.
Cool video and a nice spot Monty…The old Nevis 100😁👍..So that’s how you sleep in it 🤣🤣..Never been to the Pentlands before..Need to get myself over there😁..Like Gaz’s tent ..Pretty cool.😎
Mate, it's in the bin. The door was destroyed :(. But loads of spots over there, bud. You'd love it. Loads of wee hills! And the Enan is a Nevis wannabe!
@@MontyOutdoors I was looking at their website, it would cost around £35-£45 to replace the zip. The patch you could do yourself for a few pounds. Might be worth it if you like the tent. I know you usually have some cordage, worth carrying that along with some Duck Tape and a few cable ties. You can get some odd looks when that lot fall out of your bag though! 🤣🤣🤣
As a Scot, you should know that alcohol is only a good warmer when it first goes down the throat, is not a drink to keep you warm, in fact it does the opposite.
Absolutely great video, loved it. Great to see you out with Gaz again, that valentines card was a bit left field 😂Shame about your much loved tent, I'm sure it is repairable. You are on top form at the moment, which is lovely to see, all the best mate 👍
@@MontyOutdoors I too think it was great, because as you said yourself due to forgetting your tripod, there was more talking (and looking) to camera. That look you gave said it all, made me lol 😂I've said before, what makes a Monty video unique, is Monty 😊👍
So did the metal piece of the zip break in half ... and both strips of teeth are in good condition??????? if so it can be fixed... (but u might lose 1cms of opening.. as you have to cut out a couple of teeth near the very top end on the side withe the stopper at the bottom to slide a new metal piece in) ATB great lil vid
Sadly, the door tent ripped even more during the night and day. The door was shredded so it's been put to sleep lol. Cheers though mate. Thanks for watching and all the best :)
Will note this advice in future. Sadly the door ripped more during the night and day :( Glad you enjoyed the content and thanks for the heads up. ATB, Monty.
Good job Monty its always nice to see Edinburgh under the lights I'm originally from Broxburn, what a guy you remembered Valentines But did Gaz there in lies the question, all in good fun. Yes you can get that tent fixed Nina my wife could fix it but the problem is we are in Toronto Canada, she does all our boat canvas and zippers much the same type of repair, i'm sure you could find someone that repair boat canvas or such like and save that great tent ATB take care.
Gaz never got me a Valentine's Card mate lol. Yeah, I was advised to send it to a seamstress, but the tent's door ripped a bit more so I just got a replacement. Thanks though mate and all the best :)
Monty thats a bummer about your tent. Your seamtress or ashop where they sell sewings items cloth ect. should have some one there that could replace the zipper. Also possibly your local shoe repair shop . Good luck & keep on campin Mate, Cheers from Canada
@Monty Outdoors hopefully you can get the rent and zip fully repaired mate. Just as well you never went too high with those winds! All good here mate, hopefully out in the coming weeks
Hey Monty! ... Duties around the house, as well as lodge activities, put me out of the live chat the last couple weeks,.. but I should be tipping a beer, and chatting with you this Friday! Stay dry! ... and don't catch a cold!
At 1 min I like the comparaison of your hair dancing in the wind, the same way the high grass does 😋 . Its a shame your tent start dying on you and you had to finish it with a peg in a mercyfull gesture , RIP tent
Heyup champ. Sure if you contact Vango and explain the sequence of events ie busted zip,bad weather and having to pierce the fly to "keep" the elements off you overnight. I bet u they swap out either the fly or the entire tent! Especially if you get Vango to watch yer vid👍. Good luck with that champ,they're great like that. Other than the busted zip rest of the vid,spesh the banter wi Gaz n you🤦♂️😆😆👍
@@MontyOutdoors Well,now I cannot wait to see what tent you have gone and gotten yerself😆. On a scale of 1-10 on the uber cool chart what score is it hitting Monty?🤔👍🙏
Great video as per usual Monty 👏 I had a nevis 200 and agree with you brilliant tents for the money, unfortunate with the zip problem but sure shit happens, I would say dehydration was the cause of coldness mate, as you probably know its important to keep yourself hydrated in both summer and winter....Nice one 👍 ATB Stuart
I've spoken to a few people, Stuart, and they all agree the Vango Nevis has zipper issues. I hope the Starav doesn't, as I want that! And I stayed hydrated on my next trip and I was cold once more. It's very possible my medication is the cause, which is a concern. Thanks again for watching mate. Take care for noo!
Rumours have it the next video has dry weather :0.
Aye, right! 🤣
A nice dry camp on that adventure lol
I love the Nevis tent Ive had one for about 6 years, it needs nik waxed every year now though because its started to wet through, well worth the money.
I love it, but sadly it's passed away lol. I got an upgrade though :)
That was some intense wind! My contact lenses dried themselves right to my eyeballs after just seeing that 😂
😂 No way was I pitching the Nevis up in the hills! It would have got destroyed.
@@MontyOutdoors i don't blame you!
Today, where there is so much tension between people in one corner of the world, your videos like this give peace to the heart. God protect everyone from this difficult time
Privileged and also scary :(
Everyone should learn from you that no matter how stormy the night is. Morning is always peaceful. I wish it to be there soon too.
Great vid as always monty, I only like doing it in bad weather too lol, nothing better than the sound of rain on a tent, keep up the good work, love it
Thanks Grant. I'll keep up the hard work for you legends :)
Lovely spot that! Not too far from the city. Have camped there several times 😀
I’m thinking about a Nevis 100 as well for the size/space it offers for a one man tent.
Thanks for sharing!
Simply breathtaking upload, love it. Sound effects are just stunning.
Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like the reviews I’ve seen on the Nevis and am seriously thinking about trying to get one myself
Just be careful with the zip, other than that, it's a fine wee tent. Not advised for wind speeds above 40mph as well.
I got a little drowsy listening to the rain. Love listening to rain...Bummer about your tent. Hope you can get another one you like.
Cynthia... I got a new tent ;)
@@MontyOutdoors Awesome! Can't wait to see what kind you got & if it holds up to what you have in store. See you on your next adventure Monty😊
Kyuss.. wow.. think I will have to dig through my collection and get back into them -thanks Monty :)
No problem! Throw in some Orange Goblin and Electric Wizard while you are at it :)
@@MontyOutdoors Do you like Monster Magnet?
@@DamienNeverwinter Hell yeah! Mate this convo has put me in the mood for High on Fire. Will put on some Monster Magnet too. Any album in particular?

Yassssss. Buzzing for you. How was it? How many times have you been out now?
@@MontyOutdoors I’ve been out about 6 times since the new year and I got sunburned from the snow so that’s fun! 🤣

heads up if you put a pebble in the corner an put some cord round it you could of pegged the cord down save putting a hole in the tent
Cheers Tee Gee. I'll certainly bear that in mind if it happens again lol.

No problem and thanks for watching another one of my videos! You can drink from it but I'd use a filter.

Great place for a hike. Thanks for sharing this great video this so cool. 🙂🙃🙂
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Monty, nice video. Sorry about your tent mate, hopefully you can get the zip repaired.
Cheers Danny. Hope you are well mate.
I'd take it to a seamstress shop to fix the zip. These wee shops are so underrated. I've had them fix hiking trousers for me in the past.
I'll bear it in mind for future, Chris. Sadly the door ripped a bit more, but I got an upgrade :) Cheers mate and all the best.

Tent got dumped... IN A BIN!
Hey Monty…..great camp!
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed it :D
Sure you can have the zip replaced. A zip broke on a tent of mine I took it to seamstress and had the zip replaced. Nice vid btw.
Cheers Peter, appreciate the advice, and thanks for watching too sir!
Camping and Kyuss. Ideal :)
I knew there was someone else out there. Orange Goblin for the next trip I think :)

@@MontyOutdoors dono about them, our apprentice says your mates with his girlfriends da. Guy called Billy lives in Bishopbriggs. Small world
Contact Vango…
Fixed a helium ul2 no issues ,,, 👍
Enjoyed the content , keep it up lads , ATB 👍
Will note this advice in future. Sadly the door ripped more during the night and day :( Glad you enjoyed the content and thanks for the heads up. ATB, Monty.
Good job Monty its always nice to see Edinburgh under the lights I'm originally from Broxburn, what a guy you remembered Valentines But did Gaz there in lies the question, all in good fun. Yes you can get that tent fixed Nina my wife could fix it but the problem is we are in Toronto Canada, she does all our boat canvas and zippers much the same type of repair, i'm sure you could find someone that repair boat canvas or such like and save that great tent
ATB take care.
Gaz never got me a Valentine's Card mate lol. Yeah, I was advised to send it to a seamstress, but the tent's door ripped a bit more so I just got a replacement. Thanks though mate and all the best :)
Great hear use going have dry weather camp use deserve it u take care now il be watching for u monty
Awesome thank you, John :) It will be released in 39 minutes!
Nice video monty
Glad you enjoyed it super Terry :D!
You can put a new zip in really easily, (well I can) or contact Attwoolls Outdoors in Gloucester. They will fix it, easy peasy xx
Thank you for the advice Sherralin :) Hope you are well x
Let us know if you can get the Nevis repaired!
The door ripped more mate, so it sadly passed away! I got a new Vango tent though :)
@@MontyOutdoors 😞
Nice one Monty. Shame about the tent, hope it can be fixed mate. I managed to get a camp at Loch Chon on Fri night, needless to say it rained.
Cheers mate! How was the camp? I like Loch Chon, murder for signal though. What were you out in?
I was using the Olpro Voyager. A Vango Banshee clone but a decent tent. Camp was good, had the place to myself apart from geese honkin all night. 😀
Nice one Monty :-)
Cheers Russ
Monty thats a bummer about your tent. Your seamtress or ashop where they sell sewings items cloth ect. should have some one there that could replace the zipper. Also possibly your local shoe repair shop . Good luck & keep on campin Mate, Cheers from Canada
Thanks mate. Will bear that awesome advice in mind. Peter. I hope all is well on your end and all the best :)
great video big man, how gutting is that zip breaking! keep them coming sir
The wind ripped the door tent pretty big too. Sad to see :( But cheers mate. Hope you are well and staying safe!
@Monty Outdoors hopefully you can get the rent and zip fully repaired mate. Just as well you never went too high with those winds! All good here mate, hopefully out in the coming weeks
Rumour has it I’m downing the tools to watch the Monty 😂
Good luck! 😂
Great vid. Shame about the tent. Pretty sure alpkit offer kit repairs. Hathersage shop does anyway so might be worth investigating.
I'll bear it in mind for future, Darren, thanks. I got myself a new tent instead :)
poor zip . any gd seamstress can replace dat in 20 mins.. just give it a lick a waterproofing after
Sadly the door ripped a bit more in the wind :(.
Hi Monty, sounds a tad windy! Got to disagree about Edinburgh and Glasgow; I prefer Glasgow.Stay safe! 😊x
A tad windy lol! And I love Glasgow too :) Stay safe and I hope you are keeping well, Liz!
@@MontyOutdoors I'm good thanks Monty! X
Nice tent, how can the tent afford this strong wind.
The winds weren't that strong where we were. It would have been destroyed on the hills! Thanks for watching :)
Shame about the Nevis 100 - the working man's Akto. Nice vid Monty! Love's Young Dream was a tear jerking bonus.👍
It was brutal mate. Sad ending to a great tent, but a new beginning for me and Gaz lol. ATB, mate.
Shame about the tent mate. After giving Gaz a valentine's card and going for that romantic stroll, he could have let you in to his tent.
He dumped me behind the scenes 😢
Hey Monty! ... Duties around the house, as well as lodge activities, put me out of the live chat the last couple weeks,.. but I should be tipping a beer, and chatting with you this Friday! Stay dry! ... and don't catch a cold!
Hi Howard! Hope you are well mate? Take your time mate and hopefully see you tomorrow :)
RIP Vango...a good seamstress could fix it.. hot hands I'm a believer
It had a good life, Maurice
Shrek man dude interesting to do wilcamp overlooking Edinburgh.
I've done one before mate. I think it was my first camping in the Pentlands video!

Great views must look at that area myself cheers SMDude
At 1 min I like the comparaison of your hair dancing in the wind, the same way the high grass does 😋 . Its a shame your tent start dying on you and you had to finish it with a peg in a mercyfull gesture , RIP tent
That tent has been through the wars, so deserved to die like a warrior lol.
Heyup champ. Sure if you contact Vango and explain the sequence of events ie busted zip,bad weather and having to pierce the fly to "keep" the elements off you overnight. I bet u they swap out either the fly or the entire tent! Especially if you get Vango to watch yer vid👍. Good luck with that champ,they're great like that. Other than the busted zip rest of the vid,spesh the banter wi Gaz n you🤦♂️😆😆👍
I ended up getting a new tent instead mate... you will be impressed :). Cheers again, Fraser. I hope you and those close to you are well!
@@MontyOutdoors Well,now I cannot wait to see what tent you have gone and gotten yerself😆. On a scale of 1-10 on the uber cool chart what score is it hitting Monty?🤔👍🙏
R.I.P. the Nevis 😥
Fly high sweet angel
Great video as per usual Monty 👏 I had a nevis 200 and agree with you brilliant tents for the money, unfortunate with the zip problem but sure shit happens, I would say dehydration was the cause of coldness mate, as you probably know its important to keep yourself hydrated in both summer and winter....Nice one 👍
ATB
Stuart
I've spoken to a few people, Stuart, and they all agree the Vango Nevis has zipper issues. I hope the Starav doesn't, as I want that! And I stayed hydrated on my next trip and I was cold once more. It's very possible my medication is the cause, which is a concern. Thanks again for watching mate. Take care for noo!
Another tent gone 😂 is this the 3rd one lately?
Wait till you see Friday's video... lol
