    Another good video, Rich. The Kuiu looks like a serious piece of kit, 30mph gusts - it didnt seem to be moving, I'll have a closer look. I have the flextail 2 - the 5 looks very tempting indeed. That's one tough ascent with a heavy pack, no wonder you were knackered. The sunrise timelapse was immense. Keep 'em coming and take care.

    Nice camp......and before the vid was even finished Id ordered my Pegs 😂. Thanks for that. Easy solution. Can't wait t try It out again. 20-25mph for a bit on my last camp and couldn't feel or hear anything in the tent. That area is one of my options this winter......there's so many!. Cheers again.

      They're a good little piece of kit for the doors, weighed the pegs earlier at 22g each. Reckon you need 4 in total one for each door including the fly. Maybe they'll upgrade the storm star one day and have better door toggles 😄 Thanks for watching John. 👍

    Another great video pal. I use some small rubber magnets to keep my door rolled up, but they're a bit of a faff. Will take some pegs on my next trip and give them a try! I was camping on Haystacks the same night, from sun to snow in the blink of an eye! 🤣

    Cracking camp that. Tent didn’t even budge. I’ve got those magnets your on about and your right, their not very strong. Loose them all the time. Good shout with the clothes pegs. We need to try and get a camp out over the winter. Stay safe, ATVB Robert

    Great video Richard. And nice chatting to you in the morning. That tent looks like a beast! ⛺😁 I've heard the clips where the poles cross can be really tricky, especially in cold weather if your fingers struggling. Not sure if you've had any issues?

      @@tomworboys How doo Tom. They’re tricky to be honest but there’s a knack to doing them. Once you get used to it and the poles are in the clamps they’re not going anywhere so it’s a love/hate design. Was nice to meet you mate, cheers for watching 😁

      I know the person you are talking about as I also follow her channel.
      She is from north east England. As a native Scot I can confirm she is definitely not Scottish or Irish!
      I get that the accents in the British isles can be confusing for someone from elsewhere though. 👍

      I got in touch with Donna before i bought my Kuiu and she highly recommended the tent, also there's a good video on her channel of it pitched in the wind against a Hilleberg Allak which gave me peace of mind it was a good buy. Thanks very much for watching. 😁
