A nice winter wild camp with sub zero temperatures and overnight snow. Our excuse to try the F10 Helium UL1 tent and Richard to try out the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Bikepacking tent whilst still in our local lock down area.
To stay so chattie and positive while setting up a tent on permantly frozen ground reveals a lot I think. 😉 couldn't help but enjoy it thanks for posting.
Thanks, a bit of banter and beer 🍺 helps !
Very nice winter camp with friends! Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy New Year from the USA 👍
Happy New Year Daniel, hoping to get back to the US when this virus is over!
Can’t beat that lovely purple/lilac hue that the winter sun gives off. 👍 ATB for ‘21. Please God, make it better than 2020. 🙏🏻
Yes, may your vaccination be swift and 21 be full of camps :-)
Nice one Andrew looked a cold one , typical I,m back at work when the cold snap arrives 😂 atb Dave
Cheers Dave, yes nice to get some snow on a camp, might even be more forecast couple of days from now, fingers crossed. A
Haha you lads a great craic. Hope our paths cross in the great outdoors one day.
Great video. Can’t wait to try out my own helium tent. It looks a cracking tent.
Should serve you well Mark, I liked it. A
@@AndrewParkOutdoors cheers sir. Do you use it with the footprint? I’m considering getting the footprint and then on warm summer multi day hikes which I’m planning next year to leave the inner at home.
Nice vid Andrew, keepmthe, coming, I have the ul2, I love it, but again not so keen for long spells due to lack of head room, other than that, it's a solid wee tent... 👍
Thanks, good to hear from another user, i have to say I liked it tho. A
Nice one Andrew, looked a good night away if a tad chilly. Batman themed with it most of it filmed at night. 😁
Cheers Robin, most of my day seems to be in darkness , roll on summer ( did like the snow though)!
@@AndrewParkOutdoors Spring at least, the pre midge weeks. 😁 Have a good new year mate. 👍🏼
Enjoy your video a very good camp ⛺️
Thanks Stephen
Helped to buy one today. Needed something lighter and bought this for 60 quid used only once. Not a 4 season I know but light and strong enough for fair weather I think. 👍🏻
Great video, so enjoyable to watch. Thinking of getting the Helium UL2 for thru-hiking Te Araroa. Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching and happy camping. A
nice views, especially in the morning
Yes it was! Thanks Alex
Another local one Andrew , know it well i use to fish there years ago. I have a couple ideas for some local camps myself ...cheers Stevie
Hi Stevie, I only saw this loch for the first time in last few weeks, amazing what you dont know is in your doorstep !
with that amount of mesh he cannae be nesh ! And if there's a breeze he'll surely freeze !
Burns, ear yer heart out :-)
Hi Andrew, enjoying your adventures. I had the Helium 2, which I found to be a great wee tent, but for long spells inside, as you mention, like the 1, headroom was an issue.
Currently using the Xenon 2+ which you also featured recently - palatial and good in quite windy conditions, but wouldn't trust in a gale. Awaiting the the Scarp 2 coming back on sale. It looks to be the goods for unknown weather for trips to The Outer Hebrides, Orkney or The Shetlands.
Would value your opinion if you ever get around to using that one.
Reckon it'll be good, had the scarp 1 few years back and QC I believe has much improved since then.
You’re on a tier 4 roll!
Thanks Andrew. Well done.
Love my helium ul1. Great wee tent.
Ewen is the Helium UL1 sufficient for one man and his gear for a soloist. Would be very interested in comments you might like to give thank you ATB Jim
@@jimtilbrook4635 It is sufficient but would still be cramped depending on gear. I can fit my exped downmat and a 60 litre rucsac inside. I still have room. You can toggle back the inner to make a larger vestibule for cooking but I usually cook outside.
It really depends on personal preference. It is fine for me but others may prefer more room. If so, the 2 man might be better. If you were going to be stuck in it for a whole day due to weather then it may be a bit too small but for sleeping in, it is fine.
Hope that helps, Jim.
Great vid. Happy New year. Take care
Happy new year buddy
Happy New Year Dave (when it comes )
Nice video, can anyone comment on the effectiveness of the fly sheet as it appears to be quite high off the ground on the pole adjustment side.
Yes I noticed that Julian, I think it might be critical how you feed the pole sleeve as there wasn't much adjustment in it when I tightened it. Having said that weirdly I didn't get any snow drift in the vestibule other night.
@@AndrewParkOutdoors I noticed the same issue with several Vangos over the years, I can only guess its to allow full adjustment when the fly is at its slackest, too much gap in my opinion, but like you weirdly never really had a problem.
My husband is asking if Salewa is planning to replace the Litetrek 1? He hasn’t been able to find one.
Yes I've noticed there's a real shortage of tents this year, I don't know if the Litetrek is being replaced, but looking at the market generally it's probably a re supply prob with covid impacting in shipments?!
So which loch was this?
