Nicely put together mate, and your write about the tent, it's not so good for long winter nights but ive used it in all winds and weathers and it's held up realy well, it's great for "ilegal " camping because it hides away quite well , i'd recomend it ,it dose it's job, a stealthy tent.
Yeah it’s like any tent there’s pros and cons and it does have more pros than cons, I would probably try it again on a hot summers night without the outer I think that would be an awesome camp
This is the older 2v2. I can tell cos you had two plastic clips on the longer pole securing the inner (on each side) The new 2v2 has a longer sheath on the large pole and only one plastic clip on each side. The longer sheaf allows for optional tying points for the outer (which comes attached) so you can leave the outer attached for pitch in one. I got my new one the other day and was pleasantly surprised I didn't have to mod it. Thank you btw because I felt the vestibule was too small for cooking safely but you have shown me I can.
I’m new to wild camping even to camping in general having never pitched a tent on my own before. I had one practice run with this in very windy conditions it was simple to pitch. I’ve only wild camped twice so far can easily have the tent pitched in under ten minutes. It would only be a two man tent if sharing with my wife. I share mine with my large dog there’s plenty of room for rucksack my coat and bits and pieces. Other bits like boots I keep in the vestibules. The wild camps I’ve been on I only sleep in it it is very comfy I have to admit I wouldn’t want to spend a whole day awake in it. As for quality mine seems very well made with very smooth YKK zips. Headroom is ok just but I guess it’s a compromise as it is low and stealthy. I was considering various hooped bivouac bags but I needed the extra room for my dog he absolutely loves the tent tries to hog my Camfy P3 air mattress before I get in lol. Overall I really love this tent and for the money really think it is excellent it’s always going to be a compromise of some sort. I do agree with you about the inner door it keeps flapping down, call me stupid but I can’t seem to secure it back properly. I might just stick a couple of bits of Velcro on it. Interesting video I love to see other’s opinions of this tent cheers
I suppose everyone has different preferences and I know plenty of people who love theirs like yourself and it’s great that (hopefully) you’re enjoying Wildcamping, but these styles of tents don’t suit my needs (as someone who’s a bit on the larger side) I kind of knew that coming into this review so maybe there is a negative bias towards it but that’s thing with reviews, they can all be biased, I try not to be but I’m not perfect (just like the video 🤣) I hope you carry on enjoying the outdoors in whatever tent you like because at the end of the day the important part is getting out there and enjoying the outdoors, thanks for watching 👌
Hi Leo, cracking video mate as always. Given the fact you were on Fair Snape Fell and have done other video's in the Forest of Bowland and that you mention you lived on the coast, I think I can deduce that you must live very close to me! Haha All the best mate Dave
This is a great tent
Yes it’s a very sturdy tent, but it does have its flaws and it’s not my kind of tent, thanks for watching 👍

Sounds like they have addressed some things on the tent, I hope it serves you well, thanks for watching 👌

@@LeoManAndMountain cheers I'm 59 and definitely on the larger side too lol
Got to love a cheesy flapjack
I hope that’s a typo for cheeky, can’t say I’ve had a cheesy flapjack 🤣 thanks for watching 👌
Apart from your rucsac being too small not a bad review. Value wise the best tent on the market
Considering it’s a 65litre I’d feel a bit silly taking something bigger 🤣 but bang for buck it is a great tent

Cheers Dave, yeah I’m somewhere on the Fylde coast 😉 glad you enjoyed the video 👌
@@LeoManAndMountain Thought so, I recognised the accent too! Haha
Good job you didn’t try the phoxx 1. Great video Leo.
Hahaha I’m too fat for that 🤣 thanks for watching 👍
Great video mate, i’m jealous of how much you get to camp, do you do content creation full time?
Hahaha I wish, no I’m just lucky enough to have the time to do the things I enjoy, glad you enjoyed the video buddy 👍
Try sleep on.roll matt knot blow up.bag you get 2man in.there.
Aye, that is true but a roll mat in winter may be a cold for me 🤣
Get a tarp
Just get a oex coyote3 and be happy ok 😊
That might be a bit of overkill for me 🤣 I think the rakoon II might be more my style of tent 👌
Not much of the tent showing in this vid. Scenery is nice though.
Yeah didn’t get much in the way of B roll, but plenty of the inside of the tent 🤣 thanks for watching 👌
A million videos of this tent from every angle online already - this is probably the most comprehensive experience of the tent on here though
