- Solo Moorland Wild Camping in the One Tigris Tetra 160 & NEW GEAR for 2023
I head out to the eerie moorland for a long overdue solo wild camp using a new tent, the 'Tetra' (160 version), by One Tigris. It has been a long time since my last wild camp, almost two months; so I was really looking forward to a break in nature. The signs of spring are beginning to show now and it was nice to hear the first Cuckoo on this trip too.
I set the shelter up in a lovely area and was impressed by the ease of pitching. It has lots of room and a nice sewn in mesh inner tent (this is unique to the 160 version - the 130 does not have this inner). The new gear theme continued on this one and I take the time to show you some of the new bits of kit I will be using over the coming year.
A new mat - I've used my 'old' Thermarest NeoAir X-Lite since it was brought out, various versions have been released but I've owned the original for over 10 years! Thermarest have brought out some big upgrades to their mats with their NXT range in both the XLite and XTherm! I have now got the XLite NXT MAX - which denotes the rectangular version as I am wanting to try something with a bit more surface area for extra comfort - the extra weight and bulk is negligible.
I had a great sleep on the new mat - which is thicker and warmer and I intentionally did not bring along my usual foam mat to put down first to see if that extra 'R Value' was noticeable - it was and I was warm and comfortable throughout the night.
I have also invested in an 'Enigma' quilt by Enlightened Equipment. I've wanted to try using a quilt for years now and again, I was not disappointed. Superb quality, very warm and with a sewn in foot box in this version to ensure your feet stay covered and warm. I was very impressed with the quilt and mat and will be producing a side by side comparison video of the mats soon. I also used a new light by Klarus Light, the CL2 - which I used to achieve that 'Hygge' feeling as the light fell across the moors.
A stunning location, very relaxing and exactly what was needed to relax and reset.
I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions about the kit and gear I have used, please just ask and I will get back to each and every one.
I will see you on the next adventure and remember, always leave no trace.

Another top video mate...lovely stuff
Cheers Dave! ATB
Great Video Chris as always 🤟
Nice one Adam 👍
Great vid m8. I’m loving that new thermorest pad u got.
Top kit mate. Genuine upgrade over the previous one.
Good to see you back on it mate 👍🏻
Thanks for watching - great to be back out
Excellent video! Well done
Cheers - thanks for watching
I’ve been reading about Hygge recently. It’s definitely the feeling I get being outdoors.
Fascinating topic mate!
7.2% Jesus, think I'd be hanging in the morning 😂 great to see you back out Chris. ATB Paul.
Haha, cheers Paul - atb
Quality mate...keep at it.❤
Cheers Jim - atb
Great vid Chris. Just catching up a bit now so sorry for the late reply. Cheers. 👍
Cheers Rob 👍

Thanks Si! ATB
Cheers, good to see u out, nice vid
Thanks for tuning in pal
Really enjoyed this buddy
Cheers Mark - glad you enjoyed pal and hope you're well 👍
Thanks!
Top man mate - thank you
nice one
Cheers Hugh
Just come across your channel and some really good content keep it coming buddy 🔥👊
Nice one pal
Fantastic to see you out there again Chris! I love that camp site! Beautiful!
Don’t worry about the pronunciation. It’s probably Norwegian because I have no idea what it is 😂
Haha, I think it's from Norway mate yes! Fantastic to be back out mate! Hammocking next! ATB and thanks for watching!
@@MCMOutdoors I googled it and it is actually Norwegian but more used in Denmark. Some kind of coziness?!
Yes, meant to mean the highest quality of cosiness, basically achieving that - when you do, you feel "Hygge" 👌
Great vid.
Cheers Chris!
Great video. I've got the same tent but without the inner mesh. Hoping to try it out in the snow shortly :)
Hope it goes well 🏕️👍
good luck for 20k bro!
Nice one Tom 👌👍
Looks great mate. That's my favourite local spot. When going solo I camp a bit further up the stream, (a bit more enclosed but more stealthy) so I won't nick your spot if I see you out there! 😂
Haha, cheers Len, I've explored a bit more and found some more potentials. The whole area is lovely - some great gems to be found if you look carefully. ATB pal
Good show mate
Cheers Jason
@@MCMOutdoors not been out for a month mate. Heart attack
Rest up mate & take it easy. Great recovery prospects and plenty of outdoor opportunities still pal. Look after yourself 👍
Great vid mate, just come across your channel
Glad you liked it mate - lots in the back catalogue
Nice vid, no need to reply, best, Sean
Thanks Sean 👌👍
Very chilled camp! - regarding muppets on the hills, I carry a swing bin liner for picking up rubbish (there is a limit on this obvs) I call it my `scum-bag`. If enough `normal` people did this (and I know lots that do) you would never see crap on the fells. WE outnumber THEM.
Great video chris....i was wondering when you'd crop up on my feed its been a while. Totally understand the situation with life getting in the way.....ATB mate i really enjoyed this
Thanks Karl, glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully not too long before I can get something else filmed. ATB pal
Another cracking video again , you can’t beat a wildcamp reset
Absolutely - long overdue mate - ATB
Nice to see you out again mate. I really rate one Tigris gear.👍
They make some cracking gear Dave, genuinely well put together and good value.
Good to see you back out mate! Always great quality videos 👍🏼
Thanks Rob, great to be back out 👍
Lovely to see you back out Chris, love the new kit, yes your getting older son, so nice comfy kit is what's needed, we do get wider 🤭😅 love the quilt mate, great vid Chris 👍
Thanks mate - always good getting out in nature and solitude! Quilt is ace. ATB, Chris
Great video, thanks 👍👍
Thanks for watching Ian 👌
Took me 3 separate sittings to watch this, have you been saving up your footage up 🤔. Hmm, that looks like the pitch were at with Mat (I think) when it was really wet. Shame to hear you have been ill and same with me for two weeks, these bugs seem to be so persistent now. That sleeping mat was an absolute beast but I am always throwing myself about when sleeping, so idea to be fair. Must admit I like that new gas burner you had as well and after the adjustments the company are doing, looks a good option. I have one of those mummy shaped sleeping bags and to be honest hate it, far too restricting and a main reason (I think) I never get a good nights sleep outdoors. Good to see you back out, cheers Alan
Cheers Alan. I'm much preferring the quilt at the moment, I think sometimes the mummy shaped bags can be quite restrictive. Was nice to be back out after a long break. ATB and hope you're on the mend after your bug, Chris
Great relaxing video! ✌🏼💯👊🏼
Thanks very much for watching Glenn 👍
You really enjoyed that one Chris. Some cracking bits of kit there mate. It’s nice to have a bit of comfort with the sleep system. That quilt looks the business. Good stuff mate ATB👌
Thanks Joe, was almost 2 months ago that I was last out! Was nice to be out in the solitude and peace of the outdoors again 👌
Great to see you back out mate 👍
Thanks for watching Lee!
Great video 👍and great to see you out again 💪💪💪
Thanks for watching Peter, ace to be back out
Another top class video …so very well put together ..Thanks for taking us along…👍. We will always be right there with you 😊…Take Care until the next one 🙂 Bye for now x
Ah thanks for watching! ATB, Chris
Looks like you had a great time in the beautiful outdoor. Love it. Thanks.
Was a lovely trip in the spring woodland - can't beat being out in nature. ATB
Hi! Enjoyed the video. Watched in my Nordisk Telemark on last night of a cycle tour, home tomorrow. Subscribed! 👍🏻
Sounds epic - the Telemark is a great tent and thanks for the sub! ATB, Chris
Brilliant video. Some of the best regarding the outdoors. I wouldn't worry too much about goals.longevity of your pastime is the real reward. Northern monk are the best.

Looking forward to seeing your next video.. thanks Simon.
Great stuff Simon - yes, you live in a lovely part of the UK - with many stunning locations to choose from - get out there and enjoy it. ATB - Chris

Great video, love that new gear. Looking forward to the Thermarest comparison. Thanks for everything you do 👍🏻
No worries, thank you for watching 👍
Awesome to see you back out! I was wondering what happened to ya! Glad your feeling better!
Cheers, great to be able to make it back outdoors!
It is good to see your joy of escaping the pressures of life, and getting out. I have never been a lover of wild camping in the past, but have been out a couple of time this year. Solo, and found I enjoyed it; as much as your video. Thanks for showing and sharing. I have just subbed, so another one nearer your goal of 20k. keep safe.
Thanks very much Bobby. Great to hear that you've tried and enjoyed it - it's a very rewarding and relaxing hobby and I hope you enjoy many more camps. ATB, Chris
Nice one Chris 👍 great video and some nice new gear is always a bonus.....happy days 🏕
Absolutely Stu - thanks for watching
great to hear your voice again..I always enjoy your content and im a bit wild camp wiser for it too. cheers
Cheers, thanks v much for watching 👍
Great to see you back out and about testing some new gear Chris. Looked like a great relaxing camp and I really like the lamp with some great features. Keep posting fella as it is very much appreciated and a good watch. Atb matey
Great to be back out Andrew. Thanks v much for watching pal
Great to see you back out pal. Lots of new gear too! I bought a Fjallraven coat in January, and love it. Hope to see you back out again soon. Take care.
Sounds like a good investment there pal! ATB, Chris
Great video Chris. Love all the new gear you are using especially the Matt and quilted blanket it looked really snug in the tent. Great to see you back out again. Atvb Andy 🌲🌲🌲⛺🌲🌲🌲
Cheers Andy, much appreciated pal. ATB - Chris
Nice one Chris great to see you back out.
That Heathen beer is defo one of my favourites 👌
Cheers Graham
It's a fine brew mate, cannot beat a cold one of those!
Nice watch that was pal. Funny, I have both the new xtherm max and revelation 850 quilt on next months list.. cracking bits of gear...youre tempting me with that little pillow too - theramrest, chris needs a discount code if you see this haha
Haha, I'll see what I can do. The pillow is immense, was chuffed to receive it off the lads last month. Thanks very much for watching mate.
@@MCMOutdoors no problem pal, thanks for the content.
🍻👌
Quilt looks great. Love my Mountain Equipment Helium quit. Stuck a mini review in the group last year. So much more packable. Even take it out on winter hikes with the bothy bag as emergency warmth. 👍
I much prefer using the quilt so far, although it's only been one night so who knows - thanks for watching Andy
Fabulous Chris, rich in gear beauty which is always good to watch. The mat is bloody huge, looks so comfy. The size looks perfect for side sleepers like myself, good size baffles. Loved the new stove too man, the ring was massive wasn't it, no wonder it would melt steel lol!
The new light was full of features too, great to see that you can use it in different ways.
I could tell you really enjoyed this camp and were very relaxed come the end of the video. Cheers Chris, top vid pal.
Cheers man, good to be back out and just relaxing in nature! ATB pal
I'll have to watch this later .
Lovely start though .
Cheers from Ireland
Cheers - hope you enjoy it later on - ATB !
@@MCMOutdoors back from the shops .. new boots.
Watching it again now
Enjoy!
Good to see you back out Chris, fair taken with the smock and quilt....Bank manager is delighted lol! Tried that Brew Dog on Friday night, its a fine tipple right enough. All the best and look forward to more adventures mate.
Anorak is ace, Svalbard by Norrona. The quilt is ace too, well worth a look pal. ATB, Chris
I believe your tent has a lamp hanging feature at the peak
Yep 👍
Great to have you back out wild camping Chris. This film flew by. Shows how much you enjoyed it. Keep them coming.
Was much needed Mal, thanks for watching mate
Mate, I love watching your stuff, nicely shot, good content - bit of waffle :) and well put together. Don't worry about feeding the algorithm mate, you will end up losing what it's all about. Just go out and enjoy and keep filming.
On the subject of litter I went on a day hike up around Angle tarn last weekend and found an abandoned wild camp - looks like a large group went up and got caught out in the winds last week - they left EVERYTHING!! Great big gazebo tent, sleeping bags, towels, food, litter, beer bottles, bags, some clothes, a football, just everything. I was absolutely fuming and also really sad. The place was a real mess. I only had my little day pack with me so had to put on all my extra clothing to make room for some of their kit - I also filled 3 big Aldi shopping bags (also left behind) and cleared up as much as I could carry. I ended up walking down with 1 bag and a load of wet towels etc strapped to my pack and carried the other shopping bags 2 rammed with all I could fit in - I got nearly 30Kg of their crap off the hill but was left annoyed that I couldn't get the tent down, I just couldn't physically carry it, I got most of their kit and all the rubbish but not the tent. I had to leave that and will be try to head back up with a knife and a big pack so I can remove it
Utter @rseholes the lot of them - ruining it for everyone
Nice one Matthew. Absolutely infuriating isn't it. I made a video about the importance of "Leave no Trace" many years back. I think I will start leaving the link in each video. Sadly, that will never result in behavioural change, as some people simply don't care and never will. Kudos for the litter pack out mate. ATB, Chris
Definitely a good peaceful camp Chris. I liked all the gear too and if they did a smaller version of the light I reckon it'd fly off the shelves! You're right with the location, too many have found it and mistreated it, but over time I'm sure it'll become less and less. For me, making sure it's treated well and being respectful of the area leaves it better for the next generation and I want my kids to reminisce of when they went camping in this spot or that. You'll soon be at 20k. Didn't even realise you weren't!
Thanks Phil, I stopped putting locations of camps in my videos around lockdown. It's often misunderstood for snobbery or being selfish, but it's just to avoid any undue pressure on any given spot - probably more relevant to those with massive followings. Thanks for watching mate - ATB, Chris
Good to see you out again. I use quilts (Hammock Gear) both for hammock camping and tent camping. I find quilts much more comfortable. For tent camping I take my wife's sleeping pad (Fjol) from her Amok Draumr hammock. It is heavy but much less expensive than a Thermarest or Nemo, is warm, and 25 x 78 x 3.5. I always like seeing new gear from across the pond.
Thanks for the info - this was my first ever try of tent camping with a quilt and I was impressed. I like the lesser bulk and weight - so, this could be the way forward now for me. Although I always take a few beers, so can't really focus too much on weight! Thanks very much for watching and ATB, Chris
Hi Chris. So good to see you out and about again. That's an awesome tent and some nice gear. I became a fan of yours when I was looking for videos on The Lake District and came across Red Scees - Summit camp. I really enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next one. Take care 😊👍⛺🔦
Cheers Cath! It's been a while but was very nice to be able to get out and relax in the outdoors again! ATB, Chris
@@MCMOutdoors your very welcome Chris. Have a great week and see you on the next adventure 👍😊
Cheers Cath - you too 🥂
Hi Chris, great vid, thank you. I am seriously considering this tent but my only reservation is how it performs in wilder weather - have you had a chance to test it yet. I've had mixed experiences with pyramid style tents particularly a version which shall remain nameless but tended to distort if the win-dd got up (clue) and you hadn't got the perfect pitch!! Apologies if someone has already asked this - you are just too popular......😀
Not in bad weather yet mate! Check out Lukes review in the 'Outdoor Gear Review'...... I'd always be using a geodesic or semi geodesic tent in bad weather..... But I know some teepee shelters can certainly hold their own!
He's back, he's got new gear, he's loving being back outdoors...all is good with the World 🌎 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Cheers pal - was brilliant to be back out, relaxing in nature and doing what I love - ATB
We missed you, Chris! As always, a pleasant relaxing video. Like your new gear. I see many folks moving to the quilts for camping. How did the quilt work out for you? Thanks again and have a great week. Once again, glad you are back.
Quilt worked well Denis. Smaller, less bulk and lighter - but still warm. Could be a winner I think. Thanks for watching 👌
I've converted to quilts tbh, particularly for the season/weather I backpack in (end of Feb to beginning of December, unless it's forecast bonkers weather). Only issue I've found is, as I'm 6'2" and a bit broad in the shoulders/gut, even with pad straps I can get occasional drafts when I'm on my side. But an extra strap helps with that. Also bought a cheapo quilt cover to use with it and my single-wall one man tent when I'm out on my tod. Some people use the straps so the quilt is tucked under the pad, though.
Also a convert to the Thermarest compressible pillow and air pillow combination.
Cheers Andy, always good to hear others gear they use! Looking forward to trying the quilt more! The pad is immense pal! Nice one and ATB 👍
You’ve not been there for a bit pal ! 🤜
A great spot and nice to just be back out. ATB, Chris
Glad you are feeling better, with some nice new kit. I do like the look of that jacket. Always fancied trying a quilt, but how do you find sleeping directly on the sleep mat? Is there a cover/sheet option?
I sleep in clothes on a camp, so it's fine for me mate. I reckon you could just use a sleeping bag liner if you like to sleep without clothes on etc 👍
@@MCMOutdoors sleeping bag liner - that will do the job thanks
Nice video and nice place, you "hygger" in just the right way and pronounce it almost correct, a bit more speed on "hy" and then you have it, and try to think of it as close to the same sound as "ck" in English instead of a double g :-) Greetings from Denmark the home of Hygge
Thanks for the tips, much appreciated! ATB, Chris
Hi n nice to find your channel here!
This is my first look see and you are enlightening with your again found health and enthusiasm. 😊
It seems that you have a connection to Scandinavia.
I lived in Denmark for 17 years and now live back in Australia again and visit Spain periodically now with my Spanish wifey!😊
What chair have you got for your trips out?
Thanks Glenn, my only connection to Scandinavia is that I would really love to go there and camp. Chair is by Trekology - basic but does the job. Thank you for watching 🏕️
Cant wait to introduce my boys to camping when they are older. Your videos are inspirational for me to get outdoors and enjoy what nature has to offer. Thank you
Thanks Stephen, that's what it's all about 👍
Great video as usual Chris. Is that the same spot that the river overflowed in a previous video???
That's the one mate - thanks for watching 👌
