      10mm poles make a huge difference, especially if you’re used to ‘standard’ 8.5mm poles on most half decent tents.

    I hopped through and then rewatched. On the hop through my view was how good you have got at doing these now, so I had a little chrtle at your self-deprecation towards the end. The sound of the red deer in the rutting season is primeval and fabulous. ON the watch back through it was a pleasure and you got in all the gear references without killing it. Really good job.

    Absolutely love my Unna. I second the 10mm poles. I've never had a condensation problem with it so far. Did you lift the front and back vents? The vestibule can be pegged back without unclipping it. Tom Heaney did a good video on how to use the tent

  • @tubulzr
    @tubulzr 20 дней назад +1

    Solid climb, brilliant spot and what a sunrise, beautiful scenery.
    The Unna looks splendid, large and comfortable for one person, especially useful for winter gear (or filming).
    The condensation looks unavoidable in conditions where clag/mist drifts over the mountain top all night and over your tent and through whatever ventilation.
    Still, a small microfiber cloth, some minutes of 'hard labour' and voila, condensation gone.

      If it’s dry, it’s a great tent. There just isn’t much space to put wet gear. I love the small footprint, it means you’re more likely to get a flat pitch up high. The space inside is perfect for me. The only downside is the small vestibule, it won’t be for everyone.

    I am happy that your Hilleberg experience was a positive one..This will be my second time commenting on my Hilleberg negative experience on this site. I say seond time because strangly it seems to have been lost in the.mist.first time around. I have a Black Label Savio tent that leaked on 2 wild camping mountain trips..Rain seeped in under top vent rain cover...I contacted Hillerberg and there response was that is unusual and thank you for calling..the tent plus extra set of poles and postage cost aprox £3000 euros... So you may understand why I am not singing Hilleberg praise..I hope the mist lifts and my comments will not be lost for a second time..For the record I honestly enjoy all your videos..

    The Light Tour mats are very warm, however, to get them to the advertised dimensions, you need to blow it up until you think it's going to pop. So if you're tall and you don't want to lay on a mat that's almost as hard as the floor, then I'd recommend a different mat.

    Andy, ventilation of the tent cannot offset humidity. You've a cool temperature and really high humidity there, so you've got the condensation that you've got. Now, I would have covered my sleeping bag with my lightest bivi overbag in that situation. Sure, some tents are better than others regarding this irritating issue, but none can trick physics.

    @mattes6860 13 дней назад

    Hi Andy, nice place where you have been. Really really nice. And totally different in the morning from what it was the evening before.
    The Unna is a fantastic tent. So versatile. I guess you know that the tent features tree vents, a big one on the side of the entrance, one on the backside and one at the top. But in that sort of wet weather, you would probably have condensation in every tent. That's simply physics. But I think if you open up the two big vents there should be much less condensation on the inner tent.

    Whilst I enjoyed the video overall I think you could have done a better job of selling the Unna. Just by releasing a couple of clips on the inner it's possible to create a large vestibule, which gives plenty of space for cooking, storing wet gear and still leaves ample space inside the inner tent (for one person.)
    Personally I think it's the most misunderstood and underrated tent in the Hilleberg catalogue.

    Great camp and I enjoyed your video as always but why are RUclipsrs using feet rather than metres? It’s not just you. Is it to appeal to the US audience? Surely by now anyone walking in the UK uses metres. If someone quotes a height in feet I have to convert it into metres. You’re right about condensation! Surely all proper 4 season tents get condensation forming. The moment you have loads of ventilation, you lose the warmth in your tent.
