Completely agreed about snowflaps! Just came back from a tour where the tents were hilleberg and after a night’s blizzard, boots in the vestibule were completely covered by snow!
Interesting video, the idea of taking a dump in the vestibule (if you have two) was new to me 😁. I use the Nallo GT on winter trips and I disagree about wind resistance - a quality tunnel tent like the Nallo can easily take storm winds if you pitch it along the wind direction. The problem is if the wind turns and comes from the side, that's one advantage of dome tents. Regarding the extended vestibule (absid) I could never live without it. It allows me to dig a pit in the snow so you can sit (like in a chair) and cook food and do other stuff - fantastic if the weather is bad. Regarding no snowflaps, I follow Hilleberg's advice and dig the tent down a bit if it's windy.
Great video! Thanks! First I was excited about the gt absid of my Nammatj. Then I realized It is mostly useless for me. I take my pulk inside just because the space is there. That way I am trying to convince myself it is not totally useless :) . Without that extra space the absid would heat up faster when using stove.
Haha. I know what you mean. However. One big advantage then, might be that the entrance is on the side. Which can be eventually beneficial in terms of wind protection.
Heeey actually I did not realize that the entrance is different! Thats a benefit. Btw I like your content a lot. You are not shy with your opinnions and obviously you have a lot of knowledge to share when it comes to outdoor staff. Your channel is not getting the amount of views It should get comparing to some youtubers with "this how you light up a match" type of content.
@@jhi9867 thank you for the input. Really cool to hear your experiences. Btw. How is the ripe building up on the inside. Cause of course each tent gonna get that. Especially between inner and outer tent. That's where I can see the advantages on a separate build up, since you can shake it off from the inside of the outer tent. And thanks for your support. I appreciate it. And yeah, I'd like to have more people watching and interacting. But everything in due time, I guess 😜
@@philippbergau5868 One night when there was 0 wind and -24 temp, and the sloping back wall was not stretched to its maximal my top layer (synthetic sleeping bag) was absolutely soaking wet because of touching the wall. That was the worst experience. But on nights with breeze it has been fine. I use stove inside the sleeping part at the morning so it helps.
For me it is important to peg the sloping end of inner and outer tent separate (and tight!) to get more space for my legs and allso more space between the fabrics. On a longer trip that can be a game changer for a longer person and make a big difference. First I thought the tent is way too short for 189cm with bulky winter gear but I just pitched it bad. My summer tent is Lanshan 2pro and same with that; when pitched correctly theres enough room for me and have sleep weeks in it without too much problem with condensation. And not solo always. Same time I have seen many comments that it is too short for people 10cm shorter than me.
As long as you're able to get out a lot of tent will do. All depends on budget and on how much you can/will compromise. But a lot of people have expensive gear collecting dust.pretty depressing sometimes

You live and you learn, right 😜
What kind of trip did you do and where?
