I know it’s an individual thing regarding the weight of tents, and where people want to camp. I’d rather have an extra kilo of tent weight, and be safe and warm. You can always lose a kilo or 2 with your cooking system, beer or other things we take that aren’t really a necessity. I used to take 2 or 3 cooking systems, but obviously only take one now. Though I do take a spare alcohol burner. We can all lose pack weight if needed.
Very helpful indeed as I am looking at getting the Hydra .I alteady have a Vango venom bag and Vango Sherpa rucksack and have used the Vango soul 300 tent ,all good stuff . Great review 👌👍☹
There's a video somewhere where a bloke takes it down the coast in some storm years ago can't remember the storm or channel name now 😂 been looking at this one myself for a while now
Hi, great review, was going to get the Hellvellyn 200, but as the Hydra has 5000hh on the fly sheet, and 7000 on the groundsheet, I'm going to get this now. Thanks very much. Good luck with your channel.Atb
I have a vango banshee but it’s a 300 pro I think went for the 3 man tent for a bit more room , the bottom on that looks great and the shape , still to do a summit camp , 🏔 soon 🤞great video x
Yes I had a banshee 200 for 6 days I was to tall for it so thought I would try one of the hydra 200s but I am also thinking next buy is banshee 300 or the onetrigris Trek tent. Looking forwards to getting up the lakedistrict and the Welsh mountains once lockdown is over.
Tactical Nomad Adventures can’t come soon enough I think our first summit camp will be a Corbett the Sullivan west of Scotland a bothy near by too a small hill but prominent, The os map is bought and waiting🏔🏕x
non ground sheet but you can buy some sturdy tarpaulin an cut it in the shape of the tent, you'll have an indestructible, waterproof, cheap ground sheet that will outlive any tent.
Where did you get the hydra from? Only similar design from Vango i can find is the Helvellyn 200 which seems to have slightly lower specs on the fly and ground sheet. Cheers
Just found this video and as my partner is looking for a good tent I thought I would watch, even though it is 3 yrs old.
thank you.
Same currently considering the hydra 2 £120.00 I liked the look of the berghaus cheviot 2 but it now only comes in bright red so not for me.

@@robmulcahy317 very true I get what your saying thanks for your comment.
Compared to some other tents pricing, the Hydra could qualify as a budget tent. The Hydra appears solid with impressive specs, plus stealth. Thx.
Yes totally get what your saying.
@@Jez-explores-outdoors Sometimes you come across a really great deal with products of value. I'm going to give the Hydra a go.
@@TyStyckify good choice. Plenty of room and still a bomb proof tent in bad weather.
@@Jez-explores-outdoors It just arrived and I'm impressed. It's like a portable cave. Thanks for the review!
@@TyStyckify brilliant enjoy it hopefully not to long before you can get away for a few nights.

Excellent review. Almost exactly what I was looking for. Need to see the hydra in a storm!
It's a great tent been out in heavy rain no problems at all stayed nice and dry.

Lovely comparison video. Quick question, non tent related, though, what are your shoes? They look grant

@@mandz861 sounds amazing.
Great review mate 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Nothing wrong with that Outsunny.... Alloy poles too...
very much so indeed, thank you for your comment..
@@Jez-explores-outdoors Thank you for all you do here... Wishing you all the best for 2022..
There's an eBay seller that currently has the Hydra's avail (new) for £112.50 - 2 left at time of posting this. Seems like a crazy cheap price!
Does the hydra not come with a ground sheet?
non ground sheet but you can buy some sturdy tarpaulin an cut it in the shape of the tent, you'll have an indestructible, waterproof, cheap ground sheet that will outlive any tent.
Mantap ya
Where did you get the hydra from? Only similar design from Vango i can find is the Helvellyn 200 which seems to have slightly lower specs on the fly and ground sheet. Cheers
Thanks for your comment i got it from Amazon.
Mirage pro 200 pretty much matches the hydra
The Vango tent is not premium
The price doesn’t make a tent premium. Just to clarify. But I’m sure that a smart guy like you already know that.
