i've had this tent for 2 years now and it has not disappointed me yet. It's a really good tent... haven't used it in real heavy winds with rain but in strong rain nevertheless and it was fine :)
Seems like a really decent and roomy tent . I noticed the amount of flapping of the flysheet in the wind. I had a superb Lichfield Cherokee that had a wide foot end facing the wind. I found that it was worth sewing a couple of extra loops for pegs in that wide expanse (and other places, too). It kept the tent in far better shape in the wind. Just a thought.
That's the only thing that puts me off getting a tent were you have to put the inner up first thanks for sharing Dan hope you and the family are well stay safe atvb jimmy 😎😎
I think that you should be able to put up the outer first, but you will need the footprint. Like the MSR tents, first lay out the footprint, peg it and set up the poles. This done, throw over the flysheet and clip it in, then stake out guy lines etc as required. Last, get under cover and put up the inner from underneath. Probably wont be perfect, but the inner should stay dry that way.
That was the last trip I took, a week before the lockdown. feels like a long time ago now. its not a bad tent for the price, it has so much room considering the pack size and weight of it.
I was all packed for a tarp camp that night up there, glad I called it off. I have to be honest, I wouldn't camp in an inner first tent in winter, but on the power of your video I'm considering one for summer to use without the fly sheet just to keep bugs off, and have an option should it rain. Good, honest appraisal of the kit.
I almost 4 lb this tents a little heavy but I love it it just works great two vestibules very waterproof, senior hiker 77 you rock I washed all your videos

I've just remembered I never got around to watching your Dartmoor trip lol! Happy days, I now have a new camping vid to watch tonight :)
Hope you enjoy it Just, it was fun but challenging!
Much to my relief the Bessport held out ! In fairness for the money it's a grand little tent👍
Me too, I didn’t fancy your vestibule 😂

The inner material is more mesh what is the windproof material but judging from this video it seems like the mesh material is more really

Hi, Beesport vs TrailHike budget 2 or 2.5 3 season ? Some rain / snow some hot weather.
To be fair by the looks of the weather you had yes it definitely did good 😁👍
Yes, I think it held up ok.
would it be possible to put the tent up as you would for for the lightweight option (no inner) then add the inner once it's up?
no I don't believe so, the poles go in different places depending on the set up option you choose.
Ah I see, cheers for the response!
the drips come from those hood scoops on the top i figured that out the hard way i dont like those hood scoops
could you stuff some rag in there if its raining?
I'm in nice bag and video I live in UK been in lockdown for about 3 weeks cant wait to get out again
Dartmoor..... lush. One day. Looks like a solid little tent. Atb. Hardy

I like your rain and snow and wind videos lol! Like I said before anyone can camp on a summer day...glad you didn't blow away lol!
Haha, me too! I was a bit worried 😂

I agree with you, in the summer it would be great, on a dry night just being in the inner would be glorious 👍
I'd say it's okay if it survived Dartmoor 👍
Yeah it’s not bad for the money 👍
What’s the brand of the green tent?
its one from the Vango force ten range.. not sure exactly which one. it's a 2 man.
so what your saying is don't lose the footprint in your bag lol
That's always a problem with double wall tents (pitching in rain) hard to keep the inner dry.😂
That was my observation too

are trees illegal there?
All the trees in the English moorlands were cut down centuries ago.
