You're back Paul. What I like most about your videos is actually how laid back and calm your voice is. It helps me wind down from my day and informs me.
kissing ass here pal
You took the words right out of mouth……😀
Welcome back Paul. Hope you are well and only do what you feel you want to. No pressure as don't forget that we get this content for free so really will not judge you
Keep it coming son. At ur own pace of course 🙏

You said in your last video most the people watching u would be in there 40s or 50s well I'm 24 and I love your channel your probably one of the few people who are actually honest and open about everything I would love to camp and hike England and that and your channel content is one of the reasons why I want to do it
Great to see you back! 👍 I love MSR tents especially my Elixir, but I'm still not convinced by this cutting big areas off the fly sheet in England. I suppose if it's summer but it rarely is. Ha Ha
Good to see you back Paul. At age 66 , and as a lifelong camping enthusiast, I find inspiration from your postings.
Great work as ever Buddy.
Keep 'em coming mate👍🏽
Wow, back to your old self 😀 I'm sure all your viewers missed you. Once I saw your video on Bamford Edge I thought you were through the worst and back to the Paul we know and love. I like to get out to Baslow, Stanedge, Curbar, Froggatt edges if I'm get a bit of cabin fever. Bamford edge down to Ladybower is a great walk; my dog loves the hope Valley area, as have I ever since Uni in Sheffield in the 80s. If ever you're out waking in the white peak and fancy some company give me a shout
All good buddy, keep up your passion and continue what you love, being natural and a good honest guy is why we support you! Too much falseness theses days with all the rubbish media! You make it real and possible for all of us that follow. Atb
Used this tent for the WHW great weight and very comfortable with two doors. No condensation. I made a system out of some guylines and picture hooks so I can put the poles in and pitch flysheet first if it rains.Simple and weighs nothing. I have the older version which I prefer as the fly is all covered in and the doors zip in the middle no rain leaking in. I picked it up cheaper as well last year. Yes this is a 3 season tent obvious by the mesh inner weighs 1300grams my version and been in winds up to 25 mph coped well. Good to see you back Paul love your reviews of kit atb Dave 😁👍
I have the msr access 1 used it on the WHW
You only use a tarp underneath ground sheet if the tent has walls. I use bivi and these type of tents with net cause it saves room in my bag than carrying a ground sheet 🙏
Brilliant to see a smile Paul! All the best!
Love that Paul! Good lad! 👌🏻 solid video
Good to see you are back into it. The down times in life when we lack motivation are there to test us and to make saw we don't take the life for granted. keep rocking on brother from NZ
I'm in NZ too and we envious of them going camping while we mid winter. Roll on our summer. Cheers.
@@andrewlawry6980 You learn not to complain when you walk a Great Walk off-season, no tourists or crying children at huts, winter is easily my fav season here in NZ now. Sure, it's cold, but it's peaceful out there
MSR are fabulous tents, made well and spacious but no good for hills in the Uk,
Only the other night I tried to erect my Hubba Hubba in the wind, inner tail end to the wind, as soon as the fly was on, the wind flattened it and I just saved It from wrecking the poles, great for sheltered spots and as their web site says up to the tree line.
My experience only and loads of people love em,
Thanks for your test
Ha beat me to it! They’re great for a flat sheltered garden type scenario for the kids to play in on a summers night garden camp. But I wouldn’t rely on one of these any time of year in England for serious back/bikepacking.
@@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse thanks, last time I moaned about mine when the wind bent the poles, there was a lot more support for the tent !
Mine will go if I could get a good price, honestly it’s a great tent if we had no wind !
Hope you are doing well. Glad to see you back. Thanks for the continued excellent reviews.
Spot on Mr Messner great straight talking review.
It's what we luv about ya mate 👍
Great to have you back Paul (and I need a new tent)
Excellent Paul, glad you’re back pal.
That's the way Paul,you're a natural. Great mod. ATB
Super happy to see this video Paul! Can’t wait to check it out.
Just got a message from a friend of mine. He used the exact same tent when he was bike travelling across Europe. He mentioned the he was in trouble in medium windy conditions when his tent leaned over like crazy. At one situation it was completely flat on the ground . No visible damage recorded but wobbly
That answers my question!
I assume that's why pauled mentioned putting extra guys on it? Did your friend have a guy on every tie out?
The MSR tents are summer camping tents, not made for really harsh conditions. But they are light.
@@Daniel_S. Sounds like my kind of camping
If he's in Europe he'll have the carbon pole version - they bend a LOT more in wind (I've got them), but they spring back up without damage. I've had the situation you described, tent bending down and touching my nose while I slept etc., but it sprung right back into place
It genuinely surprises me the UK version is still using the DAC aluminium poles. They may have more initial strength, but once they bend, that's it. The new carbon poles are the way to go
Just assembled in my living room, sans stakes. Brilliant use of materials. Si coated nylon is pretty bombproof, just need to protect the floor with a groundsheet.
Great to see you back.
Good to see you back on form Pal! keep up the good work
Genius with the flysheet...welcome back...
Great review - good to see you back 👍👍👍👍
Good modding!good to see you juiced up again after your video the other week!
I've got a Hubba nx and a mate has an older freelite 1. We've camped all over the UK in every season of the year and all weathers from torrential storms, snow and heavy winds. I'd use either all year round no problem. Best tent I've ever owned.
Great to see you back making videos mate
Great video Paul, back to your old self, do what you do best and life will return to normal!! whatever normal is.
nice to see you "back on the bike" Paul
Good to see your back 👍
Excellent Paul. A great review as always.
Das you are back Paul. Loving the mixed content on one channel.
Guess who's back? Back again.....Messner,s back, tell a friend... about time Sah!! was missing you off my camping tube... always enjoy your videos mate. just keep doing what you like doing !! coz we like it :)
Nice review Paul and great to see you seem to have your mojo back. Keep 'em coming mate.👍
Boom!! And you’re back in the game ! Nice one Paul , look after yourself mate.
Hello Paul, just wanted to let you know, you are not without friends who think fondly of you.
We all wish you well, and hope you take your time to find your way.
You are a good decent man Paul, and you have enriched many lives with all you contribute thru your channel.
Take it easy, take your time, and smile as you see the fog clear, and the bumps in the road fade to nothing.
Have faith in yourself good fellow.
You are a good decent caring man. More than capable of breaching these barriers.
Take care now, you will find your way. You can be sure of it.
Best wishes from Keith Shwalbe ( a 71 year old fart, who has been a wild camper for the last 60 years)
Take care my friend xxx
Great to see your mojo is back Paul.
Hi Paul. good to see you back on the channel. nice tent!
💙💙 great review , keep doing what u are doing we are behind you
oooh! Nice tent!
Nice to see you back mate x
Glad you’re back mate 👍
It's good to see you Paul. I watched your recent video describing your difficultes making content and it rang very true to me. I started a RUclips Channel called Curious Cumbria in January, I was living there at the time and greatly inspired by yourself and Haze Outdoors, in fact I mentioned you in my first video. It was mainly for myself and I really enjoyed the learning process of editing and creating the best I could with what I had. I was really pleased with my achievement but although I used the channel to chronical my own experience I found myself checking back on my videos to see how many views I got, which got me thinking what I could do better moving forward. I genuinely think my videos were high standard as im a stickler for detail but as soon as i started thinking in terms of views and validation it ground to a halt. I got 100 views on my first video which astounded me in this gaping hole of RUclips content, and I just wanted people to see that I was capable of doing a good job. It's is a very lonely place if you choose to commit. You have a very well established viewer base due to your hard work, dedication and continuity but if I can lose faith so quickly after three videos, you have to commend yourself for getting where you are today Paul. A crisis of confidence is one thing, I think you are going through deeper than that much like I have and I know your family are with you and jumped on it the moment you opened yourself up just enough for them to help you, to make you feel some worth. Not your fault mate. RUclips can make or break, find your path in it but not to the detriment of what drove you there in the first place.
Great demo video. Especially taken with your choice of location… slick mod this!
Entertaining and informative. What more could we want.
Back in Spades. Nice one Paul
Lovely video Paul - nice looking tent beautifuly presented video
I like your videos ‘cause you look into products without any presumption but with honest curiosity. I trust your judgement although I’m not going to be able to purchase most tents or products you’re testing. Cheers for now
Another cracking film. Thank you.
Great video, I'm just about to do your modification now with cord. Thank you for this, great little tarp
Thank you for another great review and video. Good to see you back out and about too
Keep 'em coming mate. We love your uploads.
Such a great video, informative, thorough, unique, helpful and calming at the same time.
I can also see the renewed vigour you have.
Good job mate!
Love the ingenuity of your mod.
Great review Paul, your back on form, professional and precise as usual. Hope things are continuing to get better.
Glad your back mate 😊👍🏻
Good to see you smiling and doing what you do best a good honest review
Great to see you and your enthusiasm back Paul. Looking forward to seeing your video on it being used. 👍🏻
Thanks Paul! Another great video
Welcome back Paul. Love your videos! Always learn something new.
good to see you back dude, well done...
Great to see you back at it Paul! Great video. Thank you!
I've got the MSR Hubba Hubba NX 2. Just completed a 3 day, 2 night trek in Georgia (the country) in the mountains. There was a storm and it held up pretty well! But it was all of your advice, tips and tricks that helped me to make the tent weather proof and stable. Thank you so much for providing such helpful, insightful and detailed videos!
Good to see you back, Paul. I bought the MSR Hubba NX recently and I love it. Wouldn't have minded a freelite but found them hard to come by for a reasonable price.
Just wanted to let you know that your videos were a huge source of entertainment and inspiration for me during lockdown. Like many, being stuck indoors gave me a great appreciation and yearning for the outdoors again and I loved watching your channel, and still do, for tips and inspiration.
Great to have you back. Take it easy and watch your mental health. You only have one life though and they say you should live it. Thanks for another great vid.
Good to watch you again brother. Thanks for not giving up. I wanna thank you as well for teaching me. That little trick with the rope and just using the rainfly is mind blowing. 🤠
Enjoyed the vid! Keep calm and carry on!
good to see you back doing what you do best
Mate, that’s a quality little hack! I’ve got the older version of this tent and I’m definitely going to make myself this rig for outer 1st pitch! Thanks for the video!
Ash
Great to see you back with a smile and hopefully in a better place 🙏 Great little hack on the MSR tent. 👌All the best mate 👍
Love your fly first hack for a rainy day. Our tents in NZ are mainly inner first so this could be a rainy day saviour!! Thanks and great to see you back again. We look forward to watching your videos each week.
Hi Paul
Nice to see you back out doing what you do best . Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing your next video.
Glad you’re back. Lovely vid for me as I’m no longer fit enough to go camping. Feel much better for watching you and your calming voice. Good job sir.
Cracking tent at that weight mate 👏😎 I like it!
Great video glad your back
Like the video. Plus the fact that like me you think a 2 person tent is a one person tent and so on. That's why when my son and his fiancee were looking for a tent, I told them to get a 3 person tent.
Thank you so much for your videos! Brilliant!
Great idea with the fly first.
Glad you’re back on form!
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Glad you are back Paul, you are one who inspired me to start my youtube channel
❤️❤️❤️🇲🇹
Thank you Mr Messner. I would quite like one if those.
Good to c u back Paul,keep them videos coming ,the best on RUclips.👍
So good to see you back Paul, and thank you for being so vulnerable sharing your ups and downs. The black dog follows us all around from time to time, best to talk about it. Keep being yourself, don't compare yourself to anyone else. Your videos are amazing and I look forward to each trip you do and each time you tell us about gear. Hello from down under.
Thank you so much Paul. Nice review. Super homegrown solution for fly first pitch. Cheers from Arizona.
Brilliant idea. Thanks Paul
Thanks for another video. It's funny I don't have an interest in buying this tent, yet I still enjoyed watching!!
Keep up the good content mate. Keep moving forward no matter what. Keep looking for that high after any loss!
i have a similar tent in that it's also a pitch inner part first, love the hack using cord to set up the fly first when it's bad weather! I'll be using that for sure! Glad to see your back posting!
He's back on form 😎
Love your videos keep up the hard work my man!!
Back in the game!
Great idea for pitching the outside first! I have a similar one, I'll give this idea a shot. Thanks!
Glad to see you back Paul great review and brilliant little mod for pitching the outer first!
Thank you Paul. I first subscribed to your RUclips channel middle of the pandemic sitting at home doing nothing! I have a tent which I pitch in the garden from time-to-time. How pathetic is that? Perhaps one day I venture out(?). Anyway, very clever what you did with the tent towards the end. Keep up the good work and all the best. Take care.
... and he's back!
Glad your back to your best and looking happy and relaxed Paul. I opted for a msr hubba nx1 it's become my go to tent. I love it. Fab video again.
glad to see ya back and doing what ya do best mate 👍
Awesome to see you back Paul 👌
The boy Paul is back, nice 1 buddy
Paul, it’s great to see you back!
