    Those little Olight bulbs are great. I have them for the kids as night lights. Have on on our bed as well. As a back up for power outages they are a brilliant little thing especially with the magnet in them. Looks like a nice camp you had.

    So there's no ventilation mesh on the Helleberg tent?
    Looks like just two nylon walls; the yellow tent walls and the outer green walls.
    Seems like that tent would be blood hot and stuffy in warmer weather.

    • @AndyWardle
      @AndyWardle  2 года назад

      It can be hot in summer. But it’s main function is a cooler/extreme weather tent. It’s 4 season but it performs best in the other 3. I rarely use it on summer unless the forecast is high winds. Which this year has been quite a lot. There’s a vent above the door. And you can leave the mesh inner open too. I’ve never felt uncomfortable in it. Even in hot weather. But I mix my shelters in those seasons. Cheers for watching. Atb 👍

    I’ve got the original olight bulb although it’s great really bright red light and different light settings I can’t get away with the shape it’s terrible to pack because its round and a few times I’ve found it turned on when unpacking my kit because something has pushed against it in transit by accident, a physical on off switch would have been better I think. You just love the bloody wind mate im convinced you have a wind editing function when uploading videos makes a calm day look like the world is about to end 🤣 lakes for me on Friday somewhere around kirkstone red screes bet it’s wild☔️💨

      😂 I love the wind so much it’s in my next video too 😂😂 this new version of the bulb (which I didn’t demonstrate) has a travel mode. You long press it. It turns on then goes off. And it won’t come on until you long press it again. I’m liking it. The blue light got me to sleep last night. Dead calming.
