      It's a really savage tent for hiding from the rain. I'd like to test it in the wind, I'm not sure how it would hold up. Yeah the tick is a nasty looking thing. Even how it moves is creepy. 😂 Imagine sleep walking, I wouldn't recommend camping to someone who sleep walks. Cheers man 👍

    I have the minipeak XL version of that tent, highly recommend it too. But not worth buying from the lovely English shop anymore because of Brexit. But there is a Swedish stockist that sells them for similar money and no import taxes. I have the inner too and there are plenty of hoops! A decent stove is twice the price of the tent however...

    • @RamblingOn
      @RamblingOn  Год назад

      The XL version must be gigantic 😄 I'd love to try a hot tent but like you said the stove is the most expensive part of it. I'd say it's definitely worth investing a bit more on the stove, that way it will likely be lighter and better quality.

    Stunning place to camp! I like that tent, remind me of my Lanshan 1 Plus in a way.

      I agree, it's basically a heavier MLD duomid but if 3f UL Gear made one it would be a very popular tent. There are european companies making tents similar to the duomid. Here is one that I know of liteway.equipment/shelters/pyraomm-duo/pyraomm-duo-tarp

    Really surprised to see so many creepy crawlies around this time of year..Hope there was no tick infestation when you got home!?
    Its gonna be absolutely crawling with insect life there, come the spring and summer time. Probably a better winter pitch..haha!
    Loved the shot of the moon, high overhead. Added to the gothic atmosphere of someone wandering in the woods in the dark👻..haha..
    Were you anywhere near a path or trail, or were they actually wandering around in the middle of nowhere?

      Great minds think alike. I really liked using it, it's a nice addition to my layers. No I was free and clear thankfully. I did have a pretty snug base layer on too so that likely helped to keep them at bay.
      I wouldn't even consider camping there in the summer. The ferns would be very high and the midges alone would be cruel. I doubt that I'd return to that exact spot, I like finding new places.
      There was a trail behind me but that was a pretty dense bit of woodland so I was very surprised to see that. It was moving quiet fast so maybe they were on a mountain bike.. Either way they definitely saw the light on my camera and thought it better to carry on than approach the weirdo in the woods😄

      I had contacted the company I bought it from who were not very helpful to say the least. Apparently its up to the buyer to add in the attachments which I think is ridiculous and should be stated in the description of the tent so each customer is aware of that before purchase.

      Brilliant Comment Derrick concerning Lyme. It's a nightmare of a disease.
      Our RUclips people like Jason here And Martin @ Sole Trail, should do a Lyme awareness section.
      If anyone gets a bit of a tick, and a red ring forms out from the bit area, forming a circle like a bull's eye target. Then waste no time in FINDING A DR WHO will give you a good course of antibiotics.
      Doctors differ patients suffer for years, indeed all their lives.
      Advise on keeping legs covers etc would be great.
      Lyme has got more complicated with the padding years. Anywhere you have deer, you have the Lyme tick, they now travel on mice.

      To be honest I never even considered the ticks being an issue, it's just not something that I thought of but I have learned from this camp that I need to be more vigilant.
      Like you said the tick is a nasty little thing, apparently lymes disease can be cured within the tick if the tick first attaches to a deer as their blood has a natural anti body for lymes disease.
      That's just something that I read and the chances of them being cured before they bite you is slim.
