Hello peeps! We're not ignoring or deleting your comments but they're vanishing before we can see/reply to them! Sorry peeps hopefully UA-cam fixes it soon! Onwards and Upwards 👍🏻
I've just found you and i have enjoyed your content and I'm surprised that you dont have many more subs. We have a Scafell 3 and it held up in a storm againts tents that cost ten times more. Couldnt falt it! Tbh, weve got 4 tents and 3 of them are Vango of different sizes and they held up better than the 4th. The vango storm strapping is excellent. I have liked and subscribed and wish you good luck. Your a pleasant pr of guys. Thank you.
Hi Maggi, Thanks for your comment. We do have quite a few Vango tents ourselves, we’ve only had any real issue with the Soul (but the tent was replaced without issue) You find the storm strap work? We’ve never found it did much in the Cairngorm but the Scarfell definitely stood up well. We just plod along and do what we enjoy doing really, sometimes we get a handful of views and sometimes we get a few thousand! Thanks again! Onwards and upwards 👍
Loved the vid, exciting stuff. I have a similar tent and I actually find putting the porch area into the wind is far better. As you said towards the end the angled foot if pitched into the wind does collapse in on your feet. If the entrance is into the wind the flat front of the inner tent stays upright. A tent of this quality will still stand even if the door area is into the wind. Also Hilleberg say to do it this way lol😂 so that's good enough for me. It's something to do with how the wind hits the front then slides over the ever decreasing hight of the rest of the tent. I'm off to watch some more of your vids now. Cheers.
Yea was some strong gusts of wind coming through at one point John, the Anemometer app on phone is so addictive tbf I was looking at it all evening lol 😂. Don't think we would push them tents any more than that though. ATB Phil & Alan
Nice vid, glad you boys survived the night. I recently did my first camp in a storm that was not forecast, amazing experience and nice to have such a camp under my belt. In the Abisko lite 2 similar tent, a bit platypus in the wind but like your tents, didn’t budge!👊👊
Hello and thankyou for your comment, was not ignoring you! having trouble with notifications coming though at the moment. Got a storm camp under your belt now hay! nothing like it when the tent getting battered by the wind and rain 👊. Them tunnel tents do shift about a bit tbf, but its all fun. we survived the night ready for the next storm. Once again thanks for your comment ATB Onwards and upwards Apoutdoors
Hi Alan & Phil, wow! You guys like a challenge and I love your idea of a cheeky wild camp😂 Thunder, lightening, gales and lashing rain - purfick! You must be in advanced training for the Dartmoor ATT Challenge, must be 🤔?😂! That was some wind, when I saw your tent pegs Phil, I thought your tent was going to fly off into orbit! But fairplay you kept on smiling and laughing the way through - the best way IMHO. Let’s hope there’s no PTSD a few days later on when you put on the tumble dryer 😂! Anyway peeps, onwards and upwards! Thanks as always for a top notch video and making me laugh😊. Cheers Pete👏🙌👍
Hello Pete, that was a purfick camp lol. I'm in my element when the weather is like that, wind rain thunder the lot, love it. No ATT Challenge training we promise. One peg was giving out a bit for sure Pete, But got to see what the tents made of 😂👌😂, and it was fine tbf. It was loud in there for sure, the tumble dryer can stay off for a week now lol. Glad you enjoyed the video Pete and had a chuckle, next time we shall go out in the BIG BOY tents and film a real storm😜😎😜. Onwards and Upwards Pete Happy days Phil & Alan
Awesome! Looking for lw gear myself as noob in backpacking. Enjoyed your video. You are a great comedic duo lol. " A sea?" " A seal!" 😆 Subscibed! " Happy days"😉! Cheers from the Netherlands
Hello Laura, It was a awesome camp love it when the weather like that, mix in a bit of thunder and lightning what else can you ask for. Glad you enjoyed the video, yes Alan found that hilarious to " A sea? " " A Seal " lol 😂. You off out soon yourself, hope you have a wonderful time 👌😎👌. ATB Happy Days Apoutdoors
Nice spot, I camped there earlier in the year, I know one thing, you don't wanna shelter in them caves 🤣 I remember feeling the cliffs shake as the waves battered against them. Nice vid! 👍 ATB 👩&🐕
Hello, when did you camp there? When the sea's are rough you can definitely feel the cliffs shake 🥴, sometimes a bit to much. We were down the coast about a mile from there one night looking out to sea, when a rogue wave came from nowhere, it engulfed us both was like having a swimming pool of water chucked on us, needless to say we got up on higher ground straight away. And you are right, them caves can be a bit dodgy for sure. ATB ApoutdoorsUk
@@apoutdoorsuk I did a 3 day hike along there in the summer. Next time your down that way check out the bay next to the deserted village. I won't say more because it will give away your location but u should be able to find it from that. The bay is 👌 👌👌 for camping with a view 😁
@One girl and her dog Ah ok shall check out your video, I know exactly where you mean👌👌 funny, as we were literally talking about going there for a camp just the other day. Thanks for the heads up on it, shall definitely go there now and check it out 😊😊

Nice one chaps. You and the tents stood up well in those conditions. I found myself mesmerised by the Anemometer readings. 🤣 ATB, John.

A 2 man (geodesic) tunnel tent I had was the tarra. The inside space doesnt get effected in high winds.
Scafell is excellent for money
