    Dan I bought the V2 version recently May 15th 2023 there are loops added to the end of the mesh sleeves where the poles go through. This means you can attach the flysheet ties to them and leave it attached. This serves the purpose of being able to pitch the inner tent and flysheet together in one go ( it comes packed this way ). Works a treat ! Regards Bill

    I bought one of these to do a week bike packing the outer Hebrides in may ,7 nights in the wild with wind and rain , never let me down . I did the hack with the para cord that’s on YT,worked great . Only gripe being ,the vestibules are a bit small for brewing up. Done a week in Devon init too recently and it served me well. Great review Dan .

    There is a 'fix' so that you can leave the outer connected to the inner tent... so you don't need to keep tying each time. .. several vids on here 👍

    I bought this tent today and straight out the bag the fly is attached to the inner by two ties on the fly and two loops on the inner.
    I’m not sure if this is a new mod by OEX but I pitched it straight away with the fly already attached. No need to tie to the poles.
    Check your version to see if you have two loops top and bottom on the inner.

    I am totally on board with you with OEX stuff, the engineering is great but they need more thought put into it. My OEX X-Lite chair is fab. The OEX table is too light, unstable and blows away. My OEX self-inflating pillow is too small but a great idea if it was triple the length. They need to talk to you and others before they launch new products. Cheers!

    Bought mine in December last year. Used it a couple of times. It's okay down to about -2. It was the noise not the cold that kept me awake; even with ear plugs. The outer could clip on and it would take less time to get out of the weather, but if you've waiting until it's really coming down you haven't been paying attention. It's streets ahead of the Vango tent I bought 20 years ago.

    Great video Dan. I'm completely new to camping solo. I've been camping in the past with my family, but in a 6 man tent with everything but the kitchen sink. I haven't ventured out solo yet as I need to build up confidence first. I can't decide which 1/2 man tent to get. I do need to be able to sit up now and again as I suffer from a bad back. I do like the idea of the porch things (Sorry, can't remember what you call them nowadays) to make a brew if it's raining. Also, do you recommend any sleeping bags which don't restrict you as much. I was thinking a 2 season one would be fine tbh. Thanks Dan. This is such a great channel.

    *FOOTPRINTS* - a little tip .. I got a tarp sheet from LOMO (Glasgow/online) to use
    with my Phoxx 1 v2. Of course, it's not quite the same as having a branded footprint
    designed for your own specific tent ... But it was about 4 quid!
    On the back side if the tent, I fold it under the tent, following its shape around,
    and on the doorway side, I leave a bit sticking out - somewhere to rest your knees/feet
    whilst getting in/out ....
    LOMO do various sizes, so there might be a viable option for many different tents.
    The small size I got, was approx 1.5m by 2m ... just right for the Phoxx 1.
    The HH rating for the 'bathtub' is very good ... but I do like giving it that
    but extra protection from stones etc

    • @sebastiancovenent1528
      @sebastiancovenent1528 2 роки тому

      Another tip ---- As Highlander had run out of their foil blankets ... I also got a couple of the 'survival' style
      foil blankets from LOMO ... to go under a self inflating mat ... bit of extra insulation / reflect
      the heat back up ..... Also about 4 quid ... Absolute bargain!
      They're only thin, so I don't know how much repeated use they'll stand, but they've been fine
      so far. If they don't split, I might not bother with the Highlander one.

    Absolute crappy design that I could see being a nightmare to put up in bad weather. Better putting outer up first for that reason. I think I'll stick with my Vango scafell 200. Survived Cape Wrath trail X2 West Highland way and the lake District for 2 years 👌
