OEX Phoxx II v2
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.3 года назад
A bit of a look at the OEX Phoxx II v2 Tent that I use. I don't review gear unless I've used it heavily first, this tent hasn't let me down. Apologies for slightly janky footage on this one, it was quite spur of the moment. This video features absolutely no coffee, which is a crying shame and could likely be rectified if anyone wanted to buymeacoffee.com/RandomWander

    New to wild camping just used this tent for the first time. I’m a complete novice but managed to pitch it up quite easily. No rain or wind to test its limits but its really quite a comfortable space with myself and very large dog plenty of room. As a two man tent I’d share it with my wife but wouldn’t feel too comfortable with a mate as it would be quite snug for two adults. You’re very lucky with the open access rules you have in Scotland as someone who lives in Kent finding somewhere to pitch is more difficult. We have a number of lovely multi day trails here down South but pitching up along the way is harder. My one and only wild camp so far I was given permission by the landowner but I think only cos I said I was walking The Greensand Way, still I’ve got the email to show anyone for future events if anyone should need to see it. Interesting video

      These were from the Kickstarter, which was in early 2020. It took until early 2021 to get the boats. I'm not sure what you mean by negative reviews, I like the kayaks and certainly wasn't trying to suggest anything other than that 😀

    Thanks for this interesting presentation on Somerled. I am of Norwegian descent and my Y chromosome DNA links me ancestrally to Somerled and many of his MacDonald, MacDougall, MacAllister et al descendants. The Clan Donald USA DNA Project has established that Somerled's patrilineal line was indeed Norse. Looking forward to more of your videos on Somerled-related history.
