Thank you for sharing all your favorite parts and tips about using this tent! I practiced setting it up at home and I feel very well informed and prepared to go out and enjoy my tent with some new adventures once quarantine is over.
You're welcome, Kristin. Sorry for the late reply. I did not see your message until this morning! Did you get the newer model? Did you see any differences other than the color of the rainfly? You will love this tent. It is solid and very well built, but super light. Let's hope that we can all enjoy the outdoors again soon. I can't wait to be in nature again. Let me know how your first trip went! :)
Great review and one can hear from the comments you make, that you've been doing for a long time, so experience kicks in ;) Thanks for sharing and I wish you a lot more good trips in the future, without any bears as I encountered last year. Kind regards.
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. Yeah, I've been camping for a long time but never get tired of it. Is there anything better than being out in nature with your tent?? Nope! :D Where were you that you saw some bears? What happened? I've been backpacking and canoe/kayak camping for many years but still have not seen one. I may have heard one on my trip last week, though, but I'm unsure. It was almost impossible to capture the audio, and I will not mention it in my video since I can't enhance the sound well enough to make it recognizable. Anyway, thanks for reaching out.
I really like your videos!!! Very helpful!! With this tent, it states right on the tent stuff sac that you can pitch it with the fly only. I tried pitching with the fly only but it didn't work so well! Can you make a video on how to do this? Thank you!
Hi Susan, I'm so sorry that I missed your comment. RUclips is not always great in letting me know. Thanks for watching my video. I'm glad that it was helpful for you. :) As of pitching the rainfly only, I remember trying it quite a while back, and I admit it was hard. I gave up on it. It WOULD be great thing to film, though. I also always wanted to try if I can somehow attach the inner tent after pitching the rainfly first. I will do this next time I'm taking out the tent. It's totally worth a try.
What a great tutorial. I’ve never set up a tent before but you made it seem very simple. How long does it take to set the tent up? What sort of wind strength or gales can the tent take without blowing over? I’m curious how much your entire backpack weighs? Do you do any specific exercises to get yourself in shape to carry the weight? I have so many questions. You have awakened my inner spirit to want to try camping sometime. Thank you for these wonderful videos. They are just mesmerizing.
James, I'm very happy that my videos inspire you so much, and will gladly answer any questions that you have. The tent takes me about 5 minutes to set up if I hurry. The more you do it, the faster you will become. If you are thinking about buying a tent, then definitely don't go for Walmart or Target tents! I made that mistake with my very first one YEARS ago! :D It leaked and let ants and other bugs in! The lightest breeze pushed it to over. Definitely invest in something that will keep you safe in bad weather. I love North Face for the quality and lifetime warranty (which I used often for my previous tents). I am now a big fan of Hilleberg tents, which are the most expensive, but the quality is outstanding. You can pitch it in the rain, and the inner tent will not get wet! I would have LOVED to have one of those on my trip to Maine!! I will get a light 3-season one next year, though. I always say that the tent, mattress, and sleeping bag are the three most important things to invest in. :) The Triarch can probably take about 30 mph winds. I've always been somewhat protected, so I can't say for sure, but I always feel safe in it, and I never even had to use the guy lines so far. Now to the backpack. I never weigh it before, so I truly can't say. I will make sure to do so before my next trip, which will be on Nov. 22 (finally some winter camping - hopefully!! :) ). I don't do any exercises to be able to carry it. I have a 15-minute walk to work, and when I order new gear, I WALK up to our 10th floor to pick it up from the reception desk! It's not fun, but that's a little training anyway. I also love bouldering and go 2 - 3 times a week during lunch. It doesn't help my legs, however, but my back, abdominal muscles, arms, and shoulders get strong. It does help with the backpacking and paddling. I'm not the strongest person for sure, but I also choose paths that are fairly short compared to serious mountaineers. Also, I spend a lot of time just looking around and filming, which give me automatic breaks. If you are on Facebook, you can follow me there (see links in the video description) and ask questions as well. I always post what I'm up to and what trips I'm planning. It's a sneak peek of the videos to come. I am finally getting fast with editing and have been posting videos almost every week. I still have footage from last winter that I didn't get to edit yet because I was so slow when I first started. I hope these answers help a little bit but keep posting more. :)
Hi, I am Francisco from Argentina. I bought this tent almost a year ago and after travelling the whole year through New Zealand I can not tighten it correctly. I took it back to North Face and the guys from the shop don't even know how to do it so Could you help me with some info on how to do it? The thing is that when is to wet the fly touch the inner tent making water pass through. Is the first time I have this problem with a tent!
Hi Francisco. Thanks for watching my video and reaching out. Your trip through New Zealand must have been amazing. I am most definitely jealous :) As for your tent, I know exactly what you mean. I spent two weeks in a row in mine not too long ago, and I had the same problem. It wasn't the rain that was passing through when it touched the inner tent, it was all the condensation. I think it might be the same for you. If it is indeed the rain, then you can treat the outside of the tent with a spray to bring back the water seal. Any outdoor store will have something like that. Unfortunately, I have no tip for you on how to tighten it better. The rain or condensation makes the fly kind of heavy and it hangs down more, and I could not find a way either to make it tighter. Also, because it only has the center pole along the middle, there is not much support to keep it tight. The only thing that you could try is to make sure that you keep the string of the two vestibules as long as possible and stake it out as far as you can, and then when it gets wet during the night or in the rain, you keep tightening the string and the four corners as well. The fabric of the rainfly gets loose when it's wet, and this always helped a bit but was not perfect. There is one more thing. If I remember correctly, there are little loops on the rainfly right on the two vestibules. You could attach extra guylines there to keep the fabric from touching the tent. I never tried this, and I'm not 100% if there are actually loops, but I seem to remember them. I hope this helps a bit. How are your bunchy cords holding up? I had to replace mine at the beginning of the year. They get very loose in the poles, which makes it so hard to set up the tent.
@@adventuresandreams thanks for your time!! New Zealand is amazing, we are still here! 😉 yes, is because of condensation so I will try with the extra guy lines, and if not is what it is!! Haha.. thanks again!!
@@aperdernos3706 You are still there??? I'll be right there also! :D Just kidding. I wish :) Well, please let me know if the extra guy lines help. I'm very curious myself since I haven't tried this yet.
Hi Aman, I'm so sorry about the late reply. I'm not getting notified anymore when I receive comments. Hmm ... Anyway, the tent comes with a footprint (very sturdy tarp that clips to the 4 corners) that fits the tent perfectly. No need to buy something.
Hi Kevin, thanks for watching my videos. I did mention that I want to buy another Hilleberg tent, but I did not get around to it yet. The pandemic threw off my plans. Either way, I would hold on to my Triarch as well. I'm a big tent Phanatic, and I have a couple of really old North Face tents, still, the Peregrine and Coriolis. I will eventually film something with them as well. :)
@@adventuresandreams thank you. I order this tent 2 days ago I’m glad it came with footprint. I had a stormbreak 2 and this tent not came with a footprint I had to buy it 50$.
I've been spoiled by hilleberg and really I would not make any choices if you ever find yourself in the rain you will know what I'm talkin about specially wind.
It's true. I got spoiled as well since I bought my Nammatj 2GT. I'm actually planning to get another Hilleberg in the future, a 3-season solo tent, the Enan. I bought the Triarch 2 before I ever heard of Hilleburg, sadly, but still, it is a very good tent for sure. You WILL have puddles in it when setting it up in the raing, though. :)

Thanks for doing this tutorial. Does this tent need a tarp underneath?
Hi Aman, I'm so sorry about the late reply. I'm not getting notified anymore when I receive comments. Hmm ... Anyway, the tent comes with a footprint (very sturdy tarp that clips to the 4 corners) that fits the tent perfectly. No need to buy something.
I noticed from the comments that you upgraded to a different tent, would you consider selling your Triarch?
Hi Kevin, thanks for watching my videos. I did mention that I want to buy another Hilleberg tent, but I did not get around to it yet. The pandemic threw off my plans. Either way, I would hold on to my Triarch as well. I'm a big tent Phanatic, and I have a couple of really old North Face tents, still, the Peregrine and Coriolis. I will eventually film something with them as well. :)
I have a question does it came with footprint? Or u need to buy it separately?
Hi, sorry about the late reply :) The tent came with a footprint, which was nice. They are usually pretty expensive.
@@adventuresandreams thank you. I order this tent 2 days ago I’m glad it came with footprint.
I had a stormbreak 2 and this tent not came with a footprint I had to buy it 50$.
