I agree…the VE 25…….I have one…..20yo and still going strong!!!!…maybe a Hilleberg….I know they are a bit pricy…..but mine is around 28yo….and is bombproof…. Thanks Rocky
TNF VE 25 has ruled the Himalaya for decades! You will also find Marmot Thor tents parked right along side them. Both have been around forever and with good reason. Like all reviews or stores that review its always about the latest and greatest. The newest most expensive tent and it new tech. Some times you dont need to re invent the wheel.
Good tents but if of you are making a video about the best tents it seems a bit strange to rule out brands like Hilleberg, Exped, Bergans and Helsport. European designed tents are the best in rough conditions.
have any hot tents that keep antsand small out from getting through the mesh. Needed perhaps a very strong zipper with velcro perhaps, which seems to wear out after many uses with the Walmart Osark 3person 2 person
Arctic ovens are actually the best Tent nobody knows what they are cuz they're only made in Alaska........ Only alaskans really want them because of how rugged they are don't get me wrong though they are extremely light
Seriously??? Arctic Oven's lightest tent is 13.5 lbs/6,124g. I spent a month on Denali in the WINTER with a 5.5 lb/2,495 tent with storm winds over 100mph. No problem. No doubt Arctic Oven has a place among winter tents but at the end of the day, it depends on what you are doing. But from the tent selection here, it suggests fast and light mountaineering. Unfortunately, there were a lot of mistakes of the tent descriptions (eg. DAC not DOC) and omissions of competitors in this review (RAB, Hilleberg, Slingfin, Stephenson, Arctic Oven, etc). Please Outdoor Zone, do your research before you pass these "TOP 5" authoritatively.
@@ernests1267 thats funny because I took the Arctic oven 20 miles from wonder lake in Denali ....in the winter, I really liked that it actually kept some heat in vs others your really reallying on your gear and sleeping bag
Brandon, good to hear you're getting after it. Denali is an amazing place in the winter. The animals are in their winter coats or camouflage and the Aurora Borealis are in greens and blues. Our expedition in the winter was old school like the sourdough's back in the day. Except the Sourdough's mushed a lot further distance. Your trip sounds more similar to what the Sourdough's did. They actually took cast iron beds and probably carried firewood. We only skied ~130mi/209km one way but didn't use mushers or air drops. Fortunately, the 200 lb sleds the 2 of us dragged were comprised mostly of food. So in the 10 days we cover the distance, our loads got continually lighter. That trip was the genesis of an outdoor company that continues today.
@@ernests1267 I'm used to using 70 pound wall tents with 15 gallon barrel stove for moose hunting 50 miles one way trail head is up past Glenn ellan ....takes about a month
A bunch of the clips shown during the BD Eldorado section are of a different tent.
Hi guys, as a seasoned Scottish camper any tent worth its money for this environment must and I stress, must not be inner pitch first !
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Rubbish . They have no idea . They show 3 different Black Diamond tents claiming it is the Eldorado. One is so obviously the HiLite
Your review of the eldorado shows lots of clips of the highlight and firstlight, which are different and inferior tevts. Awful.
Note it, We will be more observant in next time. Thanks for watching!

Decent video thanks. I love my ve25 northface tent but i want to try an msr
You're welcome!

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll definitely take a look at them.
I wouldn't take any of these into the mountains. No Hilleberge??
Thanks for your recommendation.
Nothing well top MSR advance Pro right now as far as price and weight! Good video.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing your viewpoints.
You missed Ferrino Pilier 2. It's a good piece of gear.
Thanks For your valuable opinion. we will more careful in future
Are they still making them?
Some of them are still being produced.
