GALE FORCE WINDS and RAIN Wild Camping | Vango Starav vs STORMY Mountain weather
Me and GusExplores headed off to the White Mounth Range to do some munro bagging and wild camping! It was an absolute stroll where there was no major ascents or descents. The weather was testing conditions for the tents as it was rather windy! The Met Office said the Cairnwell - a nearby munro - reached just over 60mph, but I don't think we got above 50mph by much. We had some rain and more rain overnight, but the tents handled that with ease. I hope you guys enjoyed the content and don't forget about the giveaway! #wildcamping

So glad to see you back!! Amazing video!
Thank you!!
My dear friend, this is truly what I needed after a crazy and stressful week at work. Something and someone who creates such inspirational content like you. A true life adventure that is unique and shows the life circumstances that an individual has to deal with. Myself, I lost my drive for many things due to mental health, low esteem, overthinking what other people think of me. After years of struggles, I am slowly getting back on track in life and watching you inspires me to keep growing, learning, and developing. Thank you so much for this and wishing you the best on your journey :)
Thank you 😊
finally back, good to see you mont.
Cheers Carlos. Hope you are well!
#wildcamping Great video Monty. Nice to have you back.
#wildcamping , great video, I have the same tent and never failed me, I spilled coffee once in the tent, made coffee then went out to answer the call of nature, went back in the tent but forgot I had made coffee and that I had a cup sitting inside, you can imagine the state inside and smell of coffee on everything!! Tnx for the video
It's possibly the most underrated tent on the market :). I hope you have many great adventures and good luck mate
Glad you're back Monty. Hope you're keeping well. Tent stood up to that wind pretty well great to see. #Wildcamping
Thank you 😊. Hope you are well too and good luck!
Best mother nature conditions can throw , to put the Vango through its paces , looked a good walk hope you are keeping well Atb K 🥾⛺🏴

Thank you 😊 and good luck!
Great to see you back out mate, great content as always, we tip if you take a Nalgene bottle and boil water and put it in it wrap your wet clothes around it for the night and they dry fine. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴 o yeah all just leave the comp mate got to much stuff lol 😂
👋
Cheers handsome x
#wildcamping. Happy to see you back on! Looking forward to fall and winter.
Good luck 👍
Nice to have you back and I think it's important to enjoy your camps for you and not just doing it for content.ive just got a new pillow I went for the trekolygy delux it's nicer material than the ultralight version but it's just not as deep so not quite sure about it
@@theMisadventuresofaLittleWolf yea it's ashame feels soft tho but yea just a little 2 small
@@theMisadventuresofaLittleWolf haha I'll have to take your word for that
Craig! How you doing man? Hope you are well :). The pillow in this video is what I'd describe as very deep, so I don't fully inflate it when I use it.
@@MontyOutdoors I'm doing well thanks I keep getting out and up those mountains that's all I can ask
Nice seeing you back out Monty.
Your tent is awesome in that wind.
Look forward to more adventurers.
#wildcamping
Thank you 😊 and good luck!
I have the starovc tent now know what it can handle enjoyed the video I would of hung my trousers out on a line in the wind so they would dry out quicker the tension band system on the tent made a difference I wonder thanks
Nice to see you back! #wildcamping
Hope you are well and Good luck 👍
Sir monty is baaaaaaaaack!
Sirrrrrrrr Peteyyyyyy
@@MontyOutdoors you’ve been MIA sir monty!
I hope all is well 👍
Loving the video Monty, looked like it was blowing a hoolie #wildcamping
Good luck 👍

You've been missed Monty. Great to see you back out. Now if you could just do a wee Friday night live again I think we'd all love one of them for a good ol' chin wag get together 😁🤞#wildcamping
Might do a live stream on 2 Friday's away ;)
Nice seeing you out there again ! #wildcamping

Great to see another video, missed them massively. #wildcamping
Good luck 👍
Hi Monty, I am glad you are back walking the hills again, i thought you had finished on youtube, all the best my friend, see you next time.
I'll be doing the odd video for you guys who made the channel :).
Great to see this video pop up on my feed Monty 🙂
Do what makes you happy mate, it's that simple.
Stay safe and well,
Adge
Adgeeeeee! Good to hear from you and I hope you are well 😀
Good to see you're back 😊#wildcamping
Good luck 👍
Thanks again, Monty, for another great video. Love the strong wind and rain sections. Makes me feel all nice and cosy after our horrible heatwaves down here in Kent. Glad you didn't do any serious injury with the boiling water but as long as you got to enjoy your Pot Noodle! Look forward to the next venture. :-) #wildcamping
Thank you 😊 and good luck!
Loved this video mate, I got myself a Vango and it is a top tent even for me being 6ft 3/6ft 4 look forward to more videos
#wildcamping tastic mate. good to see ya out. Just started with Ben Lomond myself. only 200 ish more to go lol
Hi Monty, glad you’re back again. Missed your adventures. Glad you’re enjoying the Starav- very sturdy. I’ve the Cairngorm 200 which is working well too. Always great scenery. #wildcamping
Thank you 😊 and good luck!
Looks like there's some condensation on the inner at 11:35 ???
It's the flysheet hitting the inner from where the wind is blowing. Hence my end of tent was completely dry as the flysheet wasn't hitting in the inner. If it's not windy, there is zero condensation issues with this tent.
#wildcamping....good to see u back out m8
Very very good my man😘
Thanks 😁
Great video Monty. It's good to see you out again on another of your adventures. Your comments regarding your Vango tent chimed with me. I love Vango tents, in-fact, if I had to pick one tent from my collection above the rest, it would be my Vango Nevis 100. Incidentally, my favourite bit of the video was just before the 6 minute mark, and the look which you gave to camera when you came across that piece of crashed aircraft (I assume that's what it was?). That bit brought a smile to my face.
Thanks for watching mate. The Vango Starav is by far my favourite tent ⛺️
#wildcamping thanks for the opportunity
Good luck 👍
#Glad youre back Monty
Hope you are well, Rick
Heyup big'n..

Great videos as always. Love the #wildcamping adventures you get up to. You're very lucky to live in Scotland. I just completed a 50 mile hike for Parkinson's in the Loch Lomond national park with my son, and I'll give him my flexitale gear pump (old one) if you pick us :-D guilt guilt guilt.
