    I'm looking for a good tent for autumn and winter conditions, do you recommend Hilleberg Soulo? For summer conditions I have Durston x-mid 1, it meets all my expectations, I have some concerns about whether I will fit in with the whole thing? 😉
    As always, great video 😀

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  2 години тому

      The Soulo is an excellent tent and I'd have no worries recommending it but it is overkill for most situations and it's very expensive. I was lucky to find mine second hand. There are other options like a Helm compact 2, a Nortent Vern 1 or a Kuiu storm star that are much more affordable.
      Saying that the Soulo Black label is the strongest one person tent on the market, mine is the red label and it will stand up to almost anything. Hopefully this helps 🍀

    Jason. You are a sucker for punishment! I was going to camp this weekend but for obvious reasons just did a day walk yesterday. I might invest in a more wind resistant tent, have you any tips?Its annoying when you forget something like a knife or whatever. Those ration packs look good, i looked at them online but they seemed expensive.
    As always great video, thanks

      I just can't help myself 😆 I wanted to see how I could handle the weather. We will have endless storms now for the foreseeable so I may get used to it.
      The walk sounds like the best idea 👍 As for tents, something like a vango banshee would be good but there's not much head room in them. Maybe something like a Helm compact 2? There's a nortent on adverts going cheap that might be worth a look either. The ration packs are pricey, cool to try out but I don't think they're the best option for camping. Thanks a mill for joining me on this one. Let me know if you decide on a tent or if you want a second opinion on anything 👍
