Okay. Don't rub it in... I'm saving, I'm saving...!
Don't mean to Tom, I'm sorry! I wish you a speedy windfall!
It’s clear to me they used Hilleberg design s as a template. Nice tent.
An arranged marriage and you’re thinking…. I’m gonna get in that later. Would’ve been a better line 😂
Yes! 😆
Very good review of this tent. You seem to have covered any and all questions I had. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
The Hilleberg Allack 3 makes an excellent roomy 1 person tent with two roomy vestibules for all of my gear. I have a nice footprint that covers the tent and vestibules and plenty of ventilation. When I’m inside I’m like “ahhhhhhh!”
Nice!
Now that's some tent. I just had my vern one out, very very impressed.😊
Very nice!
I’d add Terranova Super Quasar expedition to the list - I. Believe it has 7 crossing points,heaps of room (3 person) but heavier. However, the stove. Jack is a game changer for me - winter mountain hunting here in NZ. A titanium stove weights in at a 1kg and will heat the tent and cook your food - just need dry wood nearby and a small Silky saw.
Yes, definitely , a British company too. How could I forget! Winter now for you too. Have a look at my ultralight hot stove video from about 6 months ago.
Nice one Dave! The number of pole crossing points struck me too, and I just love how strong and sturdy everything about this tent feels. I think if Nortent can find anywhere to "add lightness" and bring the weight down a bit, this tent could wipe the floor with many rivals. I wonder if your dog could shoulder the poles to help you out? 🤣 James.
Watch this space for a lighter version. i have the feeling Nortent may be doing that. I will ask the dog James, pretty sure she would be like, "whats this"!
@@Fellmandave1 I've been wondering that same thing. Time will tell 😊 Surely a best friend would carry your kit for you? And since a dog is man's best friend...put it to the test, I say! 😁
Could I ruin that lovely doggy freedom? I think not
This is the one that's exciting me rathar than the smaller one.
Cheers CS, it really is a lot of tent
Nice to see the thought that went into this and how well and truly it fits the 4 season designation. Nortent scores again. Great review. Looking forward to seeing this pitched in anger.
Thanks again for commenting, Kurt. I'm looking forward to pitching it in anger, too, but hopefully calmly!
Hi Dave
I have the hilleberg Staika it’s a 2 person tent good inner space and vestibule it’s 4kg ,looking at the vern 2 wow it’s got to be a head scratcher if you want a strong 2 person tent surely great video pal 👏👍
Thanks buddy. The staika is a great tent, but yes, the vern is a distinct possible. Thanks for commenting and happy camping.
Ordered one from Nortent, 3-person Vern. Coming to me in Canada where it will be used for canoe camping in the backcountry and in the Winter when snowshoeing.
Enjoy!
Looks a very useful space for the long winter camps 👍
Good review mate
Thanks Buddy.
Been waiting for this vid from the fellman, glad you showed the hot tent version. Rock up on a winter scout camp with that bad boy with stove, envy of the site 👍🏻
Thanks! Problem though, everyone will want to be in there!
@@Fellmandave1 at least there's plenty room for them🤷⛺
What would be the best light weight stove to go with that?
I have been using the Marmot Thor 2p for years here in the canadian winters. Very strong tent with 6 poles that can support lots of snow . But my tent is quite long to setup because all the poles get to go throught sleeves. I prefer the structure of the Vern 2 though , easier to set up and the inner is attach to the outer fly. It would be ideal for setting up in bad weather compared to mine. Thanks for the review ! Keep them coming ! Subbing to the channnel
Thanks for the sub. Yes , the Thor, great looking tent.
Excellent review, I will be buying one of this VERN 2 tents next week!!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic tent and everything very well explained. Thanks Dave!!
You're welcome and thanks for commenting!
I love the look of them. Ok if you have a pack of donkeys to carry it. I bought an akisko shape2 from Finland for 500. 2.6 kg. Great film thank you.
Yes, that structure comes at a weight penalty, fine if it's shared, though. Thanks for commenting!
next time you put the tent up and you have guyed it out if its blowing a gale you put your tent long ways into the wind well the guy lines do nothing to stop the poles bending in try it for yourself if you don,t want to take my word for it so its good that nortent gave you it lol and im not a helliberg camper i only use a cloud peak 🤟
Full stop
Superb! I’ll stick with the Nortent Vern 2 that I’ve got and love at present.and get my money’s worth out of it.👍
Good choice. I am keeping my mk1 vern 2 as well.
Great review mate love the look of the tent, think it’s great that you can lie across the way that would be great, keep up the good work mate. Atb Wullie ✊🏻🏴
Thanks Wullie. That's appreciated. Wish I could of got to Scotland this winter. The Cairngorms would be a great place to test it.
@@Fellmandave1 100% mate I’m sure you will get up next winter and test it out 😉✊🏻🏴
One problem with most tents these days is they’re not long enough or wide enough. 200cm sounds long if you’re about 177cm like I am, but then add the loft of your sleeping bag at the head and foot. I have a Marmot Hammer 2P mountain tent that’s 84”/215cm long inside and my -25F/-31C Feathered Friends sleeping bag (6’/183cm max user height) and both my Feathered Friends and NEMO 0F/-18C bags (6’6”/198cm max user height) press pretty hard against the ends. I often sleep with the door unzipped so my feet stick out a bit and my head isn’t pushing against the wall, but that means I have to bring the 1.5lb/0.67kg vestibule that I don’t otherwise need along.
Being able to lay 2 25”/63cm pads side-by-side while having some room between them and on either side would be nice, too, both for comfort and to minimize the bags pressing against the tent and compacting the down. So a tent that’s at least 250cm long from the floor to a minimum of 30cm up and a minimum of 180cm wide from end to end really seems like what manufacturers should be offering for winter/mountain/glacier use. You can always sleep with your legs elevated on your pack in the shorter tents, which will probably help a lot with leg soreness the next day but won’t be very comfortable at night.
Great comment Paul. It's all a compromise between size, strength, weight and cost ,eh? The rule applies, go up a man for winter. There is a vern 3 coming out.
@@Fellmandave1Yeah, I use the Marmot as a 1P and if I can ever get someone to come out with me in winter we’ll bring the TNF Mountain 25. That thing is palatial! But it would be nice if 2P meant “2P” and not “2 skinny people on 20-inch wide mummy pads sleeping head to toe on their sides and still touching tent walls.”
@@philsmith2444 Hahaha, thanks Phil
@@Fellmandave1 : Out here in New Zealand I have mostly used tarps and a Macpac Minaret up around the snow line for decades. I'm well north of 70 now and do more vehicle based or short carry trips. I want some room these days. Not much fun crawling around on rusty hips and knees. I looked at a Hilleberg Keron 3GT but looking at these, I think I can get what I want for half the money or less. I'll be interested to see a review and test of a Vern 3. Just wondering if they may be more wobbly with the increase in scale, but then, I see Nortent make really big 16 person group tents of similar design.
Thanks Dave. I dont think I'll be buying one, but it's a lovely shelter non the less.
Cheers
Hi Andy! Thanks for watching again and taking the time to comment.
Great review🤟🏻 this looks really exciting😍 received my Vern 1 yesterday so testing it this weekend😁 they’re also making a Vern 3😱
Cheers Alex. That new tent feeling eh. Enjoy the Vern 1. Its lush.
Nortent is really giving Hilleberg a run for its money. Talking of which, better value too. Really well thought out tents. I had a geodesic tent about 35 years ago and it was really strong- the Relum Ios 3! Nowadays you can't even find pictures it on the internet.
Ahh, the long remembered tents of our youth!
@@sukiline Naturally!! Likewise I own a Jack Wolfskin tent and won't agree Vango are as good!
Hey Fellman that Vern is blast-proof quarters nothing's gonna make that thing shake and looks like the whole gang's gonna fit in it too...Phew! its monster strong looking is that thing..
Hahaha 😆 thanks Eric. Wind tests asap!
Thanks Dave, just one thing I asked Nortent was based on the dark colour would the fabric be damaged in strong sun, they advised it’s proofed to UV50. Mine arrived this week, going to seam seal, just because they include the seal with the purchase.
Good perspective. I don't tend to worry about UV too much in Northumberland.
Plenty of room there. Best wishes with it.
Thanks RFR. ATB Dave
Not the only amazing BIG BRO 😁from your Big Bro
Excellent! Cheers big bro!
Looks a strong tent would be interested to see it in real world conditions. I’ve yet to see the vern 1 in properly strong winds so reserving judgement on that one also but again it looks very robust. Definitely where the 2 is concerned it’s great value for money on paper. It has a limited UK market appeal imo, clearly designed more for a Scandinavian market and a pulk where weight is less of a concern. Much like the Hilleberg tarra you referenced in the video. 👍
All good points. I think I will be carrying lighter other stuff to compensate.Thanks for commenting.
Ps. What do you call properly strong winds that you have camped in. Would love to hear.
Hi Dave. I hope it wasn’t coming across that I was having a pop. I just mean that until this tent (and Vern 1) is field tested in really strong winds its performance remains a bit of conjecture. Vern 1 is being touted on lots of channels as a competitor to the soulo but I’ve seen the soulo in measured 58 mph winds (Tom Heaney channel) so it’s tried and tested. I’ve had tents that have both underperformed and overperformed in high wind based on my initial opinions of their construction. As an example my Samaya Assaut 2 in measured 50 mph performed better than my Hilleberg Jannu in measured 50mph. This is the opposite of what I would have expected based on my opinion of their weight and construction. The Vern tents definitely look extremely capable but as they are so new to the market, I haven’t yet seen them really tested in the way the soulo and other tents have been. No doubt it’s only a matter of time! Cheers
Seems like a very, very sturdy 4-season tent.
Looking forward to seeing it being put through the test, although the verdict can probably already be written: rock solid/'bomb proof'.
The attention to details looks very nice.
(The mats seem a bit on the short side, at least for my taste that is.
At 1.88m, I really appreciate my Sts Insulated Large mattress (1.98m long) so my feet always stay off the floor.
Especially in/around winter season.)
Thanks Tub. As a side sleeper myself the shorter mats are fine. Thanks for commenting
Nice to see some thought gone into Vern 2 with each vestibule door having the rain/wind shield above each door, not like the Vern 1 🙄
I get you , but there is a decent overhang on the vern 1 which may not be apparent on videos.
Great video👍 seems a great tent! Would be great to see it with the stove fired up 👌
Coming soon I hope Mush, but its getting warm in the UK now so might not get a good use, watch this space.
Ah man, i ordered without the stove jack and now have regrets! Its coming tomorrow and i know I'm going to wish i added it :(
You know its a decent space in the porch, but stove Space? That's a tricky one, so don't regret, just enjoy!
Wow, what a tent! Looks really unbudgeable, and there are plenty of people who will buy for that alone. I'm a bit surprised that the pole crossing points aren't locked together in any way, as I'd have thought that would increase structural strength even more. It would be good to see this up against the much lighter Kuiu Storm Star 2 (my current yardstick tent) in some seriously rough weather.
Not even the storm star locks the poles though at that point, just has a clip. I'll see what I can do about the comparison! Thanks for commenting.
Looks like complete overkill for UK use, if I'm honest. However, you can't argue with the value for what you're getting. If you're planning true winter mountain use, Alps, Scandinavia, etc, I think it would be a great tent.
Ever been up Scafell Pike and Angle tarn in heavy rain, snow and wind. This tent is well suited to UK mountain weather.
I would say for the majority of conditions yes, but if you seek out the high places in a British winter, you may be glad you had it. I think a lot of the time northern British mountain weather is amongst the most challenging in Europe.
@BrokenVikingOutdoors I'm guessing you've bought one. In answer to your question, no, I haven't. I've wild camped in the Lakes many times but not in snow. I traversed the Swiss Alps in 1981 and wild camped several times above the snow line using a Caravan Keb tent - a tent with just two upright poles. I experienced a couple of severe storms and the tent didn't let me down other than a seized pole (it couldn't be folded at one joint).
I'm sure I would find a need for this in Canada ! And using a pulka , the weight is not an issue 🤤
@@rarknivesandleatherwork8045 Lucky man, the Alps are beautiful.
I have the Cabela's Alaskan Guide 4 person tent. Virtually indestructible.
Thanks, Tom, I'll look it up.
The tent seems well designed. The pole crossing might provide better performance with Velcro ties.
Agreed Jerry, wold be a simple experiment eh?
Got back two weeks ago from a 8 day Lake District trip with the Vern 1 (2024) and really liked the tent and its performance. I ordered the PC version of the Vern 1, too. This will be great when I am based at a camp site and have the tent pitched ove day!
If I'd be camping with a significant other, I'd go for the Vern 2! Thanks for the intro! Had the Exped Orion III for some time. About the same weight but the space in the apsis was too small. The Vern 2 will also be great for kayaking. It is free standing, roomy, and storm proof. That ticks all the boxes for sea kayaking...
Thats briiliant, were you in the vern 1 the whole time/ Did you get in the snow? How did you find the tent? Tell more!
@@Fellmandave1Of course, I was wild camping the whole time! Carrying food for 8 nights plus winter gear was, well, a bit challenging but worth it. Only got a little snow at the end of the week but lots of rain and wind. It was beautiful...
The tent is really great! Cooking in it works really well due to the big vestibule. It is also quite in the wind when properly pitch. But also stands good when you can't pitch it properly due to uneven ground.
@@BhavaSindh great thanks, sounds like a fab trip!
What are the reasons that you'll get the PC version? From what you've written, the silnylon version was fine. Is it the slightly bigger interior with the PC?
Hi Dave, thanks for another great video. 👍My Vern 2 arrived yesterday. Managed a stealth delivery so the other half didn’t see it! Then a quick mission to put it up in the garden without detection! Perfect! My need is not for back packing, but for campsite touring in Europe or even fly and camp. I hope to do Italian Lakes, Slovenia, Austria, Dubrovnik, Paris and Ronda where I check my camping gear. The massive entrance will be great to store my rolling thunder bag (if I don’t have a hire car). The massive double doors on each side to give ventilation in hot weather and let me enjoy the views. I also have a tarp to give some shade if required or shelter when sitting out in rain. Hope you enjoy your NT Verns as Im sure I will too. Be careful with the sparks from your stove 🤞. Thanks J
Hahaha 😆, love that, yes, we have all done the stealth delivery.. My trick is to get them delivered to work! Enjoy your European tour. Sounds awesome.
I wonder why there aren’t clips where the poles cross, is it better to allow some movement in strong winds perhaps.
Great tent, I wonder if there will be version of this in Polycotton, but you wouldn’t be carrying that weight up a mountain.
It's a valid point, but even the clips allow slide
Looks nice tent especially if splitting the weight.
I hope to get a carry buddy soon. But as a pro snorer I only share with my sons.
Nice tent but far too heavy, at 4 kg its just not practical for most applications.
Agreed, but there are some applications where it will be, oh yeah.....
It’s actually 4,4kg. Far too heavy for normal hiking…
Looks like a great tent and I really like it (excellent video as well).
But the weight puts me off... just too much for me (hiking use mostly).
Thanks Mike. It is falling into the base camp category for most people.
For a pulka it looks great
Never snows here unfortunately.
Makes a nice roomy 1 person tent. very sturdy looking. I’d I didn’t already have a Hilleberg, I would try one of these.
Thanks for commenting.
Great video Dave. Tent looks excellent but too big and heavy for me. Think I’ll be getting the Vern 1! ATVB Sidestickflyer
Sidestickflyer, that's one cuuuuurious name! Enjoy the tent. It's the dogs 🐕
@@Fellmandave1I’ve sent you a PM via your Instagram Dave!
Design wise, Nortent is just hitting it out of the park time after time, it seems. They remind me of Slingfin in many ways, but since Nortent uses the all-in-one pitch approach instead of the inner first pitch, I think Nortent is the big winner between the two.
Also, the Nortent vestibule design is head and shoulders above almost everyone else's that I've seen so far, even Durston...
Hopefully we'll see some lighter weight materials in future versions, because if Nortent can get the weight of the freestanding Verne 1 down to 1.5 Kg, it would rock :)
Pretty sure there are a lightweight version in the pipeline. 1.5 kg may be a little ambitious though!
Whilst this tent is relatively new to the Market Thomas, you forget that Nortent have been making and testing tents for the harsh Norwegian environment for years. Do your research.
@@thomasjeffersonlane9902 Of course I understand that Thomas, but, you have the advantage here. Just who are you, tell me abouit your background, age, hopes, experience, place of residence, local mountains. How about something creative, positive, enlightening.
BTW, I hearted my own reply again, GO ME!
And again, oh yeah!
Very good tent😊👍
Thank you 👍
You never mentioned what Council Tax bracket its in Dave ;) what a Beast that is and surprisingly low volume for something so well built, 8 crossing points is like steroids for tents. Very impressive .
Hahaha, cheers Olan.
Looks like a robust cycle touring tent …which might be perfect for me. Size and weight less of an issue on the bike particularly if you can break it down which I’m sure you can from watching the video.
Definitely.
Nice review not so keen on the pegs though.
This tent looks bomb proof and at a great price, it would have been nice to have Easton tent pegs seeing the lengths Nortent has gone to compete with the other big hitter's.
Mine was delivered yesterday and I'll do a review in the coming weeks. Those who prefer stealth camping could easily attach a cam net out the top and secure it.
Atb Taff 🤠👊
Cheers, Taff. I'll keep an eye out for the review.
Did yu purchase with teh double pole option, if so could you do a video showing hoe these are installed.
Hi,I have just done that exact video with the vern 1, vern 2 later.
Maybe the ultimate SHTF shelter if price is no option?
As I'm 197cm tall that tent is too short for me. The Hilleberg Kaitum 3 would be a better option for me.
Fair Stuart. The Vern 1 would work though.
Sleep diagonally in this and you'd have room. I love the Kaitums but this is a stronger design with the pole design
You did all the dimensions except internal width as you just showed two mats. I really wanted to know if two Exped Megamat 10LXW would fit.
Sorry! Nortent says 140. If they are the 77 wide it's a no. You will need the vern 3 which is soon to be released. Cheers!
@@Fellmandave1 thanks, I would trust your real world measurement over the manufacturer specs. Appreciate the reply
Nortent not a bad price but heavy. You need check out the Kuiu storm star 2 person tent also almost half the weight.
Hi. Yes I have had a storm star for around 3 years. Will be doing a comparison to this soon. The ss is a great tent but has it's issues. Check out my cairngorm camp last winter! The weight is sound 70%
Storm Star also doesn't have nearly as much room, or stove capable. Spent many nights in one, this one blows it away for creature comforts. There's always a tradeoff
@ 9:37, shapes that break wind you're saying? N BTW, great video. Thank you, thank you very much.
A large block of Cheap chocolate is a shape that comes to mind!
@@Fellmandave1 sooo, absolutely no reference to your......ohhhhhhhhhhhhh never mind!
@waynemccuen8213 well eat a big bar of corner shop choc and wait 2 hours.....get it now?
Your tent seems to have three poles going across but on teh Nortent site the Norttent vern 2 only has two poles across the width is teh UK version different as the tent you pitched looks much more robust.
They are definitely all the same tent.
Fjallraven abisko 1-2 is my choice of tent….abisko1 is 1.7kg and abisko2 is 2.5kg and they are top notch but yea they are pricey 🤷♂️✌️
It’s great but so is my uncles caravan if we’re not taking weight into consideration, where do we draw the line? 😊
Funny! Watch my video on the weight rule and see what you think.
Good video, glad u did review. At the end I had cancel vern1 and buy this one…
I am sure it will be great for your tours Mich
@@Fellmandave1 the weird is in 4days nobody answered me a call/email and purchased in Norway. April starts my holidays 😬
Thanks a lot for the very nice review 🙂 I could see this tent to be a good option for bike travelling.
A question about the innertent, it seems like completely removable - i.e. is it possible to unhook and pack the inner tent separate from the outer tent? (lets say one would want to pack down after a very wet night). That would be another huge advantage and something I value a lot in Hilleberg tents. In general, I prefer this way of pitching tents over other tents that require to pitch the innertent first, before throwing the outer tent over it, especially when pitching in rain.
I own the Hilleberg Allak 2 and got to appreciate this feature a lot and would not want to miss it on any tent. The Allak 2 is a bit tight for 2 people and I was looking at the Allak 3 because of that. However, the Vern 2 might sit at the perfect spot in between but with better sheltered vestibules, e.g. for cooking in the rain. And then there were some teasers by Nortent that they will even release a Vern 3 🤯
Hi, yes, it's easy to detach the inner. Thanks for the detailed comment!
I will stick with my Helm 2 as its cost was 140 and i got myself 2 dogs and 65 ltrs in it. This looks good but not 4 me.
Nice tent, always fancied a helm. Thanks for commenting.
@Fellmandave How do you compare this to the Kuiu Storm Star?
Video in the pipeline.
Great review what an amazing tent !👌
My question is the Vern1
Would you have it over a soulo?
I love the thought of owning both Tent.
Atb Graham
Never used a Soulo Graham so difficult. I know I need the space the vern offers for me and the dog, so I am happy with the vern. Plus I love to be the maverick.
Very enjoyable video. Nice tent but I think I'll stay with my double poled saitaris 👍
Thanks Michael. You can also double pole the vern 2
Love your reviews Dave. Just wondering if you have a review of a 3 person tent you recommend, have recently started going on adventures with both my kids & while I am a petite 5’4” my daughter is 5’10” and son is 6’3”. Taking 2 tents is obviously an option but I would prefer to take one we can share so we can spread equipment between us and lighten the load and our footprint when setting up camp. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated 😊
Hi Sarah, if you liked this one, there is a vern 3 coming out soon! Thanks for watching.
@@Fellmandave1 thank you, that’s good to know!
For something weatherproof, I'd like to see a comparison between this and the Locus Gear Khafra Sil. A complete setup with one of their inners and the groundsheet is very spacious, much lighter, and only uses one central pole. Oh and also cheaper. The Nortent looks great but almost too complicated / over-engineered, and that weight is crazy too. Nortent's 3D renders are confusing and deceptive too. I quote from their images "Each sleeping pad on all models measures 190 x 60cm" - Huh? What sleeping pads are that size? They chopped off 5cm from both the length and width of a standard long + wide pad (195 x 65cm). Seems dishonest to me.
Hi Chris. Never seen Locus gear before. I see you have to buy direct from Japan, is that the case? I agree that Nortents diagrams leave a lot to be desired, but dishonest, definitely NOT.
@@Fellmandave1 Yes that’s correct. And need to wait about 4-6 months for them to make and deliver it. But their pyramid style tents look like some of the best. And apparently that design is very good in snow and wind. I think people would have to have a very niche / specific use case to justify the extra weight of tents such as this Nortent, or the ones you compare it too. And something like the Locus Gear would still be great in foul conditions.
Yes for sure 2 x25".
Nice video, thanks. Is that silicon sealant used for sealing seams? Is the tent already seam sealed?
Hi, yes silicon seam sealant is required. A tube is provided with the tent. Though it is optional.
As always a great watch, and even though I have both of the original verns, which is more than enough for my needs, this video really managed to tickle my fancy.
In fact, I would love to be the person who goes camping in weather where such a beast would come in handy. I guess I’ll just settle for watching you do that kind of camping instead 😅
Once again, thanks for sharing.
Cheers, RP. But I feel right now that my winter camping credit is all used up! Thanks again for commenting, my friend, and enjoy the Verns this year.
At 4kg youd get similar or better strength and space with a 4 pole geodesic surely?
I am no tent designer, but I dont see why, all that would change would be the angle that the poles cross. Key factors are the strength of the poles/ materials themselves, size of panels, number of crossing points, guy out location and number, plus aerodynamic shape. What do you think?
Wonder how this compares to the vern 3
Not seen one yet.
Three hours later you've got the frame up...
Only another two hours for when the inner is up...
Hi Phil. Errr, I was there, and it did not take that long unsurprisingly.
@@Fellmandave1 LOL just kinding mate.... but your video did seem to go on and on and on while putting it up.
NordTent Vern 2 is a loverly tent. Thaks for the review.
@philware1546 just trying to talk and pitch Phil to get all the details in.
@@Fellmandave1 thanks for the great review. Huge tent.
Vern 2 video out today. I timed it. Took longer than I thought!
The perfect tent, If you just happen to be a dwarf crossing over instead of under the misty mountains
6'1", and I'm fine, plus my name is not Fleabard Crusheraxe.
Great video pal, this is my next purchase in April, looking forward to using it and might replace my Tarptent scarp 2 if it performs how it should. Cost wise seems like you get your moneys worth as was looking at the new Hilliberg Saivo which is due out in April but more than likely be double the price
Good choice! Enjoy.
where is it de facto getting produced, and... more importantly... how about the long term availability of lineup specific product maintenance by the manufacturer ?
Good questions camo. It's produced in China, which helps with the price point. The second question I don't know, but I will be asking.
Thx Dave, this is appreciated.
only for drive in camp's then?
Well, I've carried it up remote hills, John solo. Though not light!
When will you be releasing the video?
Not sure what you mean. I have done a few on the vern 2 now.
@@Fellmandave1 I was referring to the Vern 2 video that shows how the doubling up of poles works and how they are installed.
Ahh, ok, its in the pipeline.
Great review. Not sure if i missed this, but will it fit 2 wide xtherms in it?
Thanks Ashley , width 140 so yes!
It looks nice but weighing 4.4 KG …. it’s way too heavy for packing around…maybe a good for a base camp….
I want to take the vern 2 into the hills soon. But I am looking for ways to save weight in my other bits of kit. Agree that base camp could be the way, or shared burden is less than two soulos.
Dave, where about are you located as it sounds like you have a north east accent there!
Whitley Bay. But from Staffordshire.
@@Fellmandave1 Im in North Shields
Blimey.
@@Fellmandave1 Drop me a message if you are setting up the Nortent Vern 2 on a field somewhere locally as I would love to see this tent or even get one from Nortent to review when they address the little tweaks..
Thinking of buying one then? Would you review for YT, do you have a channel?
In the same category as my Black Diamond Mission 3P, way too heavy.
I went for the Vern 1 and that's just about acceptable weightwise.
Beautiful tent though.
Horses for courses, errr, smelly.

I think it’s going to be perfect for what I plan to use it for! Base camp heaven. I didn’t order it with the stove jack,, maybe a mistake on my part!! I did order an extra set of heavy duty pegs though.
If you decide to seam seal it, any chance you could do a video of it please? I’ve never done that before and not sure I’d know where to start!
Cheers Dave

Time to try out Barents ? Or Helsport ?
Yes, but which specific models compare?
@@Fellmandave1Reinsfjell Pro 2 from Helsport would be a good comparison
Any chance you weighed each component separately? I'd love to know how much the inner alone weighs if that's not too much trouble.
When I disassemble it next for drying, I will. You could ask Nortent or on the Nortent Facebook group though.
@@Fellmandave1 Thanks. Happy hiking!
@Fellmandave1 I was reading through the comments hoping someone had asked this very question. Guessing it'll be a kilo or more? Waiting to see what the true inner weight is!
Hi Rob. The Vern 2 inner is 1050g.
Great, thanks!
Hi Dave how long to put up, after practice?
Not sure yet. That was my first time. I will try to time it after a few goes. Bare in mind it's 2 man though.
Does it support double-poling?
Yes.
Hi Dave, great video 👌🏼. A quick editing question: How do you at minute 1:15 go from talking to the next added visual scene with the talking still happening in the background and then back to the talking scene? Thanks.
Hi. Add multi tracks in your editing software. I use shotcut
@Fellmandave1 Thanks, Dave much appreciated.
It only has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm
My Robens has 5000mm... Nearly double.
It's still waterproof Phil. You don't need it.
@@Fellmandave1 I'm in the UK... I need it lol 😂
16:16; Thermo-less? 😂
You're right. I do say something like that. I watch these back, and I am surprised and concerned just how inarticulate and stumbling I am. Thanks for pointing out that slip Chris, that really helps to point out the faults with my literally amateur, videos. You should give it a go!
Yeah to bulky and heavy.
It's for a specific set of circumstances for sure.
No good for somebody 6’3”!
Should be fine Mr Crane! All depends on your sleeping position i guess.
That's what I should have said. Great response, thank you!
Way to heavy and the price is ridiculous as it’s made in Asia
Could i therefore deduce that this is not the product for you, if so, thanks for the info!
I’ll stick with my hillebergs
4kg tent nope….also watched video how storm broke this tent apart and it wasn’t crazy wind about 50mph
Mistakes were made.....by me. Look out for the redress video
