Ah, you're the bloke who did the review/advice on the Wilderness Equipment Second Arrow a few years ago. I see you're still using it. Your review helped me as I'd bought one and was finding it fiddly to set up. One friend warned me about buying it at all: I had serious doubts myself but went ahead and got one based on advice from a bloke at a gear shop who I'd been using/trusting for years. I can't help but say that that tent gives me the absolute sh**s and I should have sold it by now. It's just too fiddly I think. Just had to get that off my chest to a fellow owner - there is so little about that tent on YT. I hope your preference and experience better than mine: looks like it is. Thank you for the therapy moment. PS the video looks like a fun trip.
@@eggmammal luckily hasn’t been too much of an issue for me, sorry to hear it’s been giving you grief. Would I buy it again? Hard to say- I’d probably get a Mont Dragonfly
@@gettingoutdoors41 Can set it up OK now for sure but don't like that you've got to fiddle around with checking poles being the right side of the straps etc. (At night? In wind?). I'm just used to banging them up no fuss - old school Olympus. Yes. I looked at the Dragonfly and liked. Got a Mont Moondance instead- really nice and well made but no good on mountain tops. Want something integral pitch so sold it and got the Arrow. Probably should go Exped Venus or a Hilleberg but wish I could find alternatives. Cheers. Integral pitch very important as I'm in Tasmania.
