That looks a bit better Paul! 😂 Flipping night and day. I bet you can't wait to take it out again now without the saggy inner. I like the look of it even more now. Well done for re-filming it mate.
Yeah thanks mate. The difference in the overall rigidity of the tent is noticeable too. As you say, I'm looking forward to getting it back out even more now! The re-film was a bit of a faff, but it needed doing!
That's some dedication filming and editing that lot again :) If you're going to continue using the door-pulling-out-hook-thing I'd hook it onto the loops you added, it's a bit of a faff hooking to the grosgrain loop at the best of times. I don't know if you noticed that the hook has an adjuster? The mirrored image threw me for a bit 🤣
Haha yeah, it was, but the last video wasn't a fair depiction of the tent, so I think it was the best thing to do. Hope you didn't mind me mentioning you in there! Yeah, the clip things on the doors, I'm not a big fan of them. I prefer just to stake my doors through loops.
@@PaulandaPack It was worth the effort, the pitch was so much better, the longer poles certainly helped. It was a shock being mentioned, but I'm recovering 🤣I'm with you on the door clips, I added Lineloc 3s to all of those loops with a length of guyline so I can pull that edge down, or out, depending on the weather. I'm taking my dipole DW to NZ in 4 weeks, it's my first long trip without my Notch Li for a long time, hopefully I don't regret it. Bit of a tip, if you ever replace guys on a LL3 leave a tail after the thumb knot and add a second thumb knot (2" gap?) so that you have something to grab when the guy is fully extended.
@@AmblingMan Thanks, I was blown away by the difference in how much sturdier the tent felt. I'm sure you've made the right decision by taking the DW Dipole, a bit more room and the bonus of double walls. Hope you have a great trip.
Yes this time the setting up of the tent is much better. The first video made me think: I'm definitely not going to buy this tent. However, I don't plan to buy dcf version myself, maybe i want to buy the DW silpoly 2 that is just out. Thanks for this video.
Thank you! Totally agree, that first video was a poor representation of the tent. Much fairer now, and I'd love to get this out in some weather and see how it fares. The DW Silpoly versions do look really nice, and with the bonus of being able to choose solid or mesh inners and swap them.
