wow ❤
It does look quite tasty... Nice winter food.
Lucky you blokes didn't blow away. Very much enjoyed the banter. Good craic!
Cheers Angus. It was a laugh 😬🤣
That Scott lad seems a right legend
Leg end. Or bell...... 🤣
Good banter / Nice shots 📷 at sunset 👍
Cheers buddy 👍
That was a good set up, sham,e the weather turned so bad in the night. Nothing worse than packing up wet gear! 🙂
I know, I'd rather galenforce winds than rain. Hate wet gear 🙄
Just discovered your channel, and so happy I did! That time lapse of you setting up your tent was one of the most beautiful things. Thank you!
Thank you. It was a stunning evening 👌👍
The xmid by durston - "it didn't get completely destroyed" 👍
In fairness I pitched it wrong as there was zero wind when I got there and forecast was no wind but that soon changed. It s hitting it side on so came off worse than it should have but it survived 👍
"Double pole it..." (Like Ash's mother)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally, someone got it 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamper Hilarious!🤣👍
Enjoyed that video and the camp. Great video 👍
Cheers buddy. It was fun 👍
Awesome video 🙌
Cheers buddy. Glad you made it, always a laugh when we're all out. If you're not out with us you know you're getting slated 🤣
A group of us were up on Yes Tor a few weeks ago in similar conditions lol. 😂😂😂 Thankfully we found cover.
Such a changing place dartmoor, can never guarantee the weather 👍
That was some serious weather ! Did well to survive without damage. Robens have a crazy wind rating on them , needed that , new stove looked tidy too
Nice one 👍
Cheers col. It was pretty horrific 😂 luckily for Ash most of the wind on his robens was blocked by my xmid. Like a bloody great wind break 🤣
That looked brutal.
Three Hilleberg tents on order for your next camp 😂
🤣 no, the x mid faired well bearing in mind I'd pitched it wrong to the wind as there was none when I pitched it but will probably go back to my fjallraven for the winter 👍
Good banter ❤ Checked those boots 👍 You should've mention they come in half and wide sizes 😊 not often seen in budget footwear ! Could be just what I'm looking for 👍
Cheers buddy. I must admit I didn't realise. When I got them there wasn't much information on them. Good boots though. 👍
I would have been the guy taking the Robens tent too over anything else out that night! Not that I use Robens but I do love the space of a tunnel.
I was going to take my fjallraven abisko shape 2 which is the same but decided to go lighter and hadn't used my xmid for a while. Big mistake although its easier to pack away when wet than the fjallraven 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper 😆 I’m too poor for either of those tents…..Vango and OEX is about all I have apart from one Snugpack Ionosphere. Even second hand here the Abiskos and the like are crazy money and we won’t even mention Hilleberg 🙈
@MattinLapland aren't the hillys cheaper out your way though?
Like the look of that stove! Just bought an MSR Whisperlite for Winter so not sure I can justify another, or maybe… 😂
Can never have too many 🤣👍
The maple stove looks a quality bit of kit.
Cracking spot for a camp,nice views.
Burger looked decent,shame about no cheese🤣🤣
Love the banter between you lads.
That weather looked brutal,definitely did alright seeing that through the night,good you all made it out in one piece.
ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍
Cheers dan. Yeah it was fun but bleedin mad in the night. 👍
Well that was a lot of fun. It looked a bit cold though. I like that fire maple stove. It looks like a pretty good piece of kit to have.
Dwayne
Cheers dwayne. I really like it. It's quite big but for a reliable winter stove it's really top quality. I've had fire maple before and they make some decent gear. 👍
Nice camp mate stunning spot until the wind rocked up !!
Glad you made it through and so did the tents 👏👌
Atb Graham
Cheers Graham. It is a beautiful spot 👍
Great bit of banter before the storm 😮😅 thanks for taking us with you, great video 🤟🏕️👍💯😁
Cheers buddy. Was a good crack 👍
Well that was a good test for the tents esp as you all seemed to pitch them up side on to the wind. Is the Durston now being put away for the winter now though? 😊😊
Yeah there was zero wind when pitched. Sods law when it started it was side on 🙄 but yes probably go to the fjallraven from now mainly for the space 👍
Nice weather lol its all just another experience.i think id rather have the fire maple the msr seems 2 top heavy from the 1s ive seen being used
Yeah the remote cannister and large stove legs makes it much more stable 👍
I like the look of that fire maple stove, design wise it's more like the msr reactor but not as tall. I love the pan stand for frying pans etc...very nice 👍🏻
Yeah it feels more stable than the msr with its lower centre of gravity. Decent bit of kit 👍
Quality video that mate and good to see the tents stand up to a battering. More of the same please.
Cheers buddy. Hopefully not more of that weather 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamper was good to see the xmid take a battering though. Tire of seeing it up in benign conditions. Cheers pal
Got to the end of the vid.Fantatsic. I was up in the peak district last W E & had some weather(not as bad but bad enough.), I notice on your internal shots the wind & rain blowing the fly onto the inner causing wet patches. I had that as well but thankfully did not soak my quilt.
Yeah the rain was driving through under the fly and even under the footprint. You could see it in the vid lifting up. In all honesty I pitched it wrong side into the wind but in my defence, there was zero wind when I pitched it and none forecast 🙄
Good times lads 😂 that weird light was probably Karen’s gone wild getting drunk on the Moore again 🤣. Can’t wait for the 2025 Xmas special to see Scott out again. Happy camping ⛺️
He won't be out again before Xmas 2025 🤣
Nice video and a great tip about those magnetic clips. I have the Durston Xmid Solid 2P and another clip would be very useful. Your tent held up well in some pretty nasty winds. I'll also be looking into that dedicated MSR windburner skillet. Great banter there too. Good stuff. Regards Wadi.
Cheers Wadi. It's a great tent but would have been better had I known which way the wind was going to come and pitched it toward it 🤣 atb 👍
Wow top tip with the magnetic tie backs for the Xmid. I agree the system in place on my Xmis 2 is great but not enough DD!
Paused your vid,hopped on to Amazon & bought a 10 pack for 5.99. Great success. Legend/Keep up the good work
😂 no probs. Glad I could help. 👍
Hey Mike that was some wind😮 how far did you walk to your pitch?
I do like that stove, however how good is it in cold temperatures? My jetboil doesn't work too well in the winter as the gas contracts.
Take it easy atb Taff 🤠👊
It's designed for colder temps as you can turn the gas cannister upside down otnhelo the flow. And it's really not that far a walk. Maybe 20 minutes to half an hour depending on your speed 👍
Last time he came out was in public 😂😂😂
🤣😉👍
The NatureHike Cloud Up 2 and X-Mid help up pretty well. Considering I paid $100 for Cloud Up 2 and the Xmid is a trekking pole tent.
The x mid would have held up even better had i pitched it end to the wind and not side on. Problem was there was no wind when I pitched so no real idea as to where it would come from and also not forecast so I didnt even consider it. Rookie mistake 👍
Hows the sleeping pad holding up? Seems like a good budget option against the bigger brands!
Been spot on so far. Not let me down tbh 👍
Hi Pal!
Very glad to see X-Mid survived without damage etc! I had quite similar conditions 400m above Loch Ness when doing Great Glen Way, but not as windy.
My clothes and tent were soaking wet to start with and bottom of my inner tent was letting water in or maybe it was just condensation between mattress and ground, not sure if you have similar problem with this tent when super rainy and wet.
Other then that love how strong it is with just trekking poles to hold it.
Atb
It held up superbly bearing in mind it was pitched side into the wind as when I pitched it there was no wind to know which way. The rain was being driven in under the fly and over the groundsheet so it flooded the underside of the inner but I think me getting in and out going to the toilet then packing up just let the rain come through when I unpacked my down quilt was still dry so I know it wasn't till after I packed away it got wet. Great tent though and held up well. 👍
That's quite far from a novice camp, although the evening looked rather fun.
And by coincidence, I just got my son and I a similar Robens tent, but not planning for conditions as cracy as that!
It was a laugh. We always have a crack. Robems are renowned for their wind resistance although my tent was blocking most of it hitting his 🤣
I bought the Xmid because its easy to set up etc but I am pleasantly surprised how it holds up to the elements
Yes and it wasn't pitched right. There was zero wind when I pitched it and when the wind kicked in it came from the side and I should have had it facing head on. So yeah it did really well. The real flappy interior shot was where my trekking pole collapsed due to the pressure of the wind. I managed to re tighten the locks and get it back in place 👍
Good work fella. That's what it's all about. Adapt & overcome when it goes tits up😂. Now I just got to find a way of sneaking that fire maple stove past the wife🤔
Tell her it's for blackout emergencies 🤣👍
You must be lonely walking alone
Is that an offer 😉😂
No such thing as light gear.
There’s gear that’s fit for purpose and gear that isn’t.
This Chinese stuff is nothing short of dangerous, the UK can throw anything at you at any time.
To be fair it did pretty well. I've seen MSRs collapse in similar winds and if it was pitched head on i reckon it might have faired even better. I was surprised. 👍
