Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. Cheers for the tip, I may try that the next time I may encounter serious snow. Rowan.

Not a joke, it depends what you want out of a tent, it is not huge but adequate. This is an extremely strong yet versatile tent. For me, it has enough room for my stuff and to cook. Plus, it is designed to be aerodynamic and the vestibule to take the strain/compression instead of the inner. I would suggest a GT model if you require a lot of vestibule space.

Soon enough, I'm sure.

Good afternoon, it was you and Tom that really sold it to me, looks amazing. No I can't say I would have issues with it as it will be just me using it at any given time, of which there is loads of room. I thought the same from your usage. I also have the 10mm poles, Hilleberg sent them as well, as part of the exchange and as a good will gesture due to my Soulo BL leaking. I did double pole it for fun in the garden (9mm + 10mm) and the strength was immense. And from the videos/reviews I have seen I would completely agree with your conclusion, can't wait to use it more. Neither can I, looks like it can take a battering. Thanks for watching, how is your Nallo? Does Tom intend to test that sometime? Rowan.

@@RowanWildCamps hi Rowan. Sounds like you got a great deal. The Jannu imo is a much more versatile shelter than the soulo. Nallo is great haven’t used it as much recently in the better weather but it will be the tent I use most over winter tho. Yes Tom will do a review on it more towards autumn / winter. He has often toyed with the idea of getting one and hasn’t actually seen it yet so will be good to get his thoughts on it. Cheers. Gary

@@garynesbitt5078 I certainly did. And it really looks that way, grante the only thing I won't use the Jannu for is when I take my dog with me, the Nallo has a much better vestibule for that. I am excited to see you/Tom using the Nallo and hearing your thoughts on it, I always feel it is overlooked by the Nammatj, yet has so much to offer. I can't wait for that. Thanks for your input. Rowan.

My Soulo BL had a pretty serious leak in the corner of the zipper, so Hilleberg exchanged the 2 and provided the footprint and extra 10mm poles. As for a comparism they do have very similar applications, and obviously a lot more room inside, but the Soulo is easier to pitch. As for the weather resistance I cannot comment due to only using the Jannu once. But from other videos about it, it looks tremendous. When I experienced 50mph in my Soulo you would think it was 20mph. Looks to be similar strength and performance. Time will tell. But so far I really like it. Thanks for watching, Rowan.

Glad to hear, thanks.

Me too, the North moor is fabulous. Such a nice area. I did indeed thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. They are indeed expensive, but worth it if you use your kit alot. So far so good with it. It is lovely down on Dartmoor at the moment, hopefully you have a good trip. Certainly does, I just try to keep moving forward and remember to spend time outside. Thank you, should be lots more come. Rowan.

No, it is of course not the correct spot to pitch, but done for testing and to challenge myself. I would also say it needs sealing, even though Nortent says it does not, only advisable.

Quite a nice collection there. It is small, granted, but it will be just me using it, and there is loads of room inside.

It is nice to back at it. I am sure the weather will make itself know soon enough. Agreed, however I will just be using it for myself so it is perfect for that. Thanks for watching. Rowan.

Ah apologies. Only my 2nd time out since my previous video, work/life have gotten so busy recently. I hope so, still cannot beleive all the chaos that went around that. Hope you enjoy the video, I plan to be out again in the week with my dog. Rowan.

For these conditions, yes. My first was the Nallo 2. I have always liked the look of the Tarra, but the weight puts me off a bit and I don't require dual vestibules. I like to think of it as a big brother to the Jannu, being BL and an extra pole and vestibule. I had several Wild Countries and Vangos before I made that purchase. They make such a difference. Thanks for watching.

That is correct, the same tent. I would say it is good up to 35/40mph winds (forecast) as that allows you a buffer in case it increases unexpectantly.

Good afternoon, if it looks like it in the video then I apologise, however the doors are not into the wind, the narrowest part of the tent is facing the wind so I am opening the door on the leeside of the tent. I pitched it with the same logic you would with a Soulo, having one of the narrow vent ends into the wind. It certainly is, can be worse than people realise as you say. A week or so back a team got taken of the moor with hypothermia and that was in July (I don't know the details). Thanks for watching. Rowan.

If you get the chance too, you should, they are great fun.

Lucky, sounds really nice.

You'll have to join me one day.

I don't know much about it, but it looks good. Have recently got a different tent to try out for the time being.

Thank you, hope it was helpful.

Thanks for watching. Yes, it did pretty well, especially as you say, in a less-than-ideal spot. I won't be going out in it if the forecast is for more than 40mph.

Thank you. No, I'm afraid not. The tail of the tent was facing the wind (the end vent on the opposite side to the door with the hood) so I kept the windward side shut and used the door on the leeside.

A hilleberg BL Soulo beater is the Kuiu Storm star 2p tent, much more spacious, equal as bombproof, with four added advantages 1. Does not flap in wind 2. More inner space. 3. Little condensation issues, as ventilation is great. 4. Nearly half the price!

Agreed, but I just don't feel I can add much to most videos, one of the reasons I don't say anything. But I can certainly see your point.

Yeah I get that... just speak the mind and be you, because we like what you do and upload for us. Look forward to more and carry on camping, mate

That's nice to hear, glad you did. I'm not sure as I rarely weigh my loadout, however, I would guess around 8-9kg with consumables. Next time I have a similar camp, I will make a point to weigh it. Rowan.

It's certainly bigger.

Thanks for watching.

Nah flappy tents buy a bomb proof Kuiu Storm star 2p tent, at half the price and no flapping at all.

I have Hilleberg Nallo 2, and just recieved my Jannu from exchanging my Soulo will, so hopefully be out in the Jannu soon. But Nobody was to truely know about the strength of the Vern until people start testing. Thanks for watching.

Not had any experience with those, so I can only speculate having looke at them online. But the do look good.

Why not? I always have one with me, doesn't affect anything being on the gas.

Thanks for watching, I just kept it low down and pushed the feet into the ground a bit.

The scenery is much more important (and prettier) than I am :) Thank you for watching, glad you liked it. Rowan.

Certainly is, and you are right, they do. However, I wanted to know what it was capable of out the box.

@@RowanWildCamps yeah, well the instructions are in the box (or on the website) so you haven’t really done that mate. I say it respectfully, but if you’re not going to follow the manufacturers’ guidelines then you’re basically only doing it for clicks. That’s a shame but hey, it’s your call

@@marccoulson6555 Like I said, you are correct. Perhaps I wasn't very clear, I wanted to know how this tent in its basic configuration (no trekking poles, extra guy lines, changing the geometry, adding poles) performs straight after purchase. May I also ask, what do I gain from clicks? I only started making my videos public for my friends and myself to rewatch when I worked away at sea.

@@RowanWildCamps fair play mate. Like I said, I’m being respectful; I’m not one of those RUclipsr bashers. The Vern-1 is a very good tent, but other than the Soulo, very few of this style are suited to 50mph+ winds so it was always destined to fail. Double poles and thoughtful pitching will definitely help though mate. All the best, sincerely

@@marccoulson6555 Thank you, and neither am I. I would certainly agree, but until I tested it, the public never truly knew what the Vern 1 was capable of. After I test the gears limits, I then act in accordance to its limits e.g. double poles etc. This is very obviously not a guide on proper pitching procedures, only a test. To be frank I most confidently know right from wrong in these situations, hence why there is no advice nor is it a "how to" guide. But thank you for your point of view. Rowan.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. No, I was using the inner, that being said I have been toying with the idea of removing the inner as it is a large space without it. I was tempted by the PC version, looks really nice.

Ah, fair enough. Apologies for that then. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. Rowan.

Thanks for watching, hope it was useful. It sure was quite the test, for me included.

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. I completly forgot to show it, I use a sawyer mini plus a Cnoc Vecto 2L bladder.

@@RowanWildCamps sick man!

It is a feature I cannot go without, plus the clip system makes pitching it a great deal easier.

I too feel that people have been overly critical of it. It is not just Nortents fault however. I would say for the majority of people this is enough of a tent for them. Very true, and you never know how gear performs in the real world until people test them. Hope you enjoy your Vern. Rowan.

As do I, it is a special place. Wow, that sounds vastly different, must make for some good walks too. I will look into that as well, Thanks.

Me too. It is so beautiful on the moor. I'm glad you liked it. I was tempted by the Akto, but for what I need the telemark is perfect and significantly lighter. Thanks for watching. Rowan.

It does indeed, I was suprised how well it worked. If set up time was a concern then a tent would have been far easier and quicker, but I do enojoy the tarp when is raining. Thank you for watching, glad you liked it. Rowan.
