The size up thing is spot on - I camp in 2 man tent. It's a little heavier than 1 person tent, but that extra weight disappears once you setup for the night.
Appreciate the emphasis on the changing weather. ☺️ camping in Norway it’s a “three seasons I a day” kind of thing 😅
As a swede, I totally relate 😅
100 percent this
This is wisdom...
I be checking out bicycle patch kits for 8nflatable pads eh?❤
Good tips. Completely agree with having a larger tent. Although, I’m still using a 2P for my partner and I. Really need to get a portal 3 🤣
Good watch buddy. Cheers
Thanks!
At about 6:55 you speak of walking a couple extra hours to find a better campsite. I’ve found myself, many times, getting into late afternoon/early evening wondering if I should take the site I’ve found, not knowing if I’ll be able to find another before dark.
Yes, obviously it would depend on the individual circumstances. I was more referring to times where you have time to continue on. However if daylight is fading and I've found a reasonable site, then I will take what I have if i think it will do the job for the night. Happy hiking!
I brought a sort of wettex-cloth the last time I was out, it worked great for viping away any condensation and it doesn't weigh much or take up a lot of space in your pack.
Avoiding condensation is better, of course, but if it happens it's nice to be able to wipe it away 🙂
Greet tip!
Another great video, Mowser.
Had to laugh to myself with the sleeping pad. I did exactly that.......not checking (to be fair, I just did the Grampians Trail and had no issues)!
Arrived on the Larapinta 3 days later and guess what? Yup, a leaking sleeping pad.
I went through all my Tenacious tape over a period of 3 days and small leaks kept appearing. I slept for the remaining 15 days on a "flat" sleeping pad, blowing it up every 40 minutes or so.
Had I checked the sleeping pad after the Grampians Trail - I could have gone out and bought more Tenacious tape or a new sleeping pad!
Anyway, lesson learned 😉. But had to laugh when it was one of the first things you brought up 😂
Been in the EXACT same situation! 🤣
Wouldn’t have been such a big problem if you had a closed cell foam mat with you for underneath your sleeping pad.
I just bought a Durston MidX-Pro 2+ for my solo trips. Might use it with my son, possible my wife who doesn't like camping, but I need some room for gear and maybe my dog.
could get a little tight. Supposed to be a great tent though! Good luck with it!
On point Mowser
Thanks 😊
3:09 Most sleeping pads advise you to inflate them for a day or so, if packed for a long time, before you want to use them, more so the self-inflating/insulated styles.
10:37 Ha been there before, even told others about the Ant nests, they just thought we wanted a clear view. Late at Night/early morning heard them complain about ants everywhere, the guy said we warned them and she told him to just shut up and keep squating... got a few side eyes from them during breakfast/pickup.
😂
You might want to rethink your tent peg angles. Physics says 18 degrees is the most you would ever want to angle a tent peg.
Remember to set up your vents and stake the flaps out... or you wake up to find condensation dripping on your face 😅
Strait up answer is no.....I'm not a noob so no I have t lol 😆😆😆 practise at home.before ya go out with a new tent....some.people.are born not to be rocket scientists lol 😆😆😆
I actually disagree regarding sizing up on tent sizes. The larger the tent, the longer you need to get the inside warm with just your body. I say this as someone who is hiking alone though, so if you’re actually with a buddy, a 3 man tent will be a better fit.
Two person tents are NOT big enough for two people! They must be counting just two little kids.
