There is no better feeling than being snug and warm in your tent while there is a storm outside ( as long as the tent stays up! ) I camped on Fan Fawr in simiar weather. Thank you for your video.
Hillebergs usually do! Same wind and add snow and -30 degree C and my Hilleberg Keron just shook it off! Loud yes but perfectly safe. They are tested for it, but you pay for it ofc!
What you went through that night is exactly what I’m going through tonight in my Soulo. I’m watching this video to remind myself how strong the tent is👍
@@WildCampingWelshman My mates tent got destroyed but the Hilleberg showed it’s worth mate. 10 hours of constant wind and still windy the now before I pack away. Such a great experience though👍
@@WildCampingWelshman My mate had a Vango Nevis 100 which got destroyed and my other mate had a OEX Phoxx 1 which performed fantastically. I’ll hopefully post my trip on Thursday👍 Craziest camping experience I’ve ever had
The things we do. I do that: hiking and camping in wind, rain and snow. I'm left-handed as well and have a Hilleberg Soulo, only it's red. The best thing after a long hike is now not only a belly full of food, but getting warm and snug in your sleeping bag with it raining outside. Great video brother, in spite of the wind you had.
This is probably my favourite video of the Hilleberg Soulo EVER. I've lost count of how many times I've watched this now and it's an excellent example of the tent's ability and worth. Thanks for sharing the experience and the upload.
A great video! For me, I would need noise cancelling headphones to sleep in that - at least on the first night. I am not sure why I would need to hear anything except maybe in bear season - would camp away from trees. I have a Soulo BL and look forward to trying it out. I always put my gas canister in some water (not hot water). That can help a cold weather gas mix approach.
Great video once again and I can see what mean about the weather. A good tip about meals as it’s an area I always seem to run out of ideas on and a brilliant shout out to Margot of Hilleberg. Nice touch! ATB Andy
Got To Get Outdoors Thanks Andy, it was a bit breezy 😂. It’s bugs me to spend £10 on those meals and none of them blow me away. Margot’s stitching possibly saved my life. I really hope someone passes my message on to her. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
This is why I’m saving for this tent. Forecasts are so unreliable I don’t want to ever get caught out again. Having a Soulo means you really don’t have to worry about too much of a change in conditions.
Hi Jiffy I've just subscribed and loving your simple approach to wild camping its so refreshing to me that I've started to really appreciate the great outdoors again
I just purchased this tent online about 20 min ago. And this video appeared in the you tube playlist. Seems like they knew I just purchased tent and they wanted to show me that I made the right choice, even though the cost was quite up there.!
Eleazar I can assure you that the tent won’t let you down, as long as it is pitched correctly and the pegs are in firm ground. Good luck and best wishes - Jiffy 👍🏻
Well there goes your restful night. I’ve had some windy mountain nights in my Soulo, but nothing like that! Thank you for sharing your experience. I will feel even more protected in my Soulo in the future now. 😂👌🏻
Fantastic Jiffy great tents you should be an Ambassador for Hilleberg, ps certainly much safer up on the hill than down in th town spat my tea out reading that, thank you for sharing as always.
Kevin O'Brian Thank you Kev, I should charge them Commission 😂. It was a bit breezy mate. Last time I was up there was in basic training 1990, our Instructor made us run back to camp, how time flies. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
That's a good advert for Hilleberg and shows why they cost so much. The savings you make in Aldi will offset the cost of the tent over time. Enjoyable video and beautiful countryside. Well done. Regards Keith
One of the best wild camping video’s I have watched , Wild Camping Welshman...may I call you “Taff”. As all weather reports go, they can be very fickle. I really enjoyed the footage inside the tent. I hear you in stereo about the build integrity of Hilleberg. In my opinion, second to none! I, myself, enjoy inclement weather conditions, so this video lit my fire. Look forward to seeing more of you’re adventures, & as always, stay safe & enjoy....Cheers.
Haha had a rite chuckle there jiffy you had a very worried look on you're face at one bit there..you can be sure of one thing though that soulo will stand that mate & I bet that was the worst uve experienced.i was in lakes last week with Dan & we were in 50+mph winds & it stood it no problem.looks another good hill though that one & it's not all about the highest ones is it where the views are concerned.gas wise I'd suggest trying the Primus power I've used that paired with my Alpkit Koro stove which has a pre heat tube & it's fantastic uses every drop of gas that system.tfs mate.Andy.
Andrew Beavers I was contemplating bailing at one point because it was getting worse by the hour but I think it was probably more of a risk to leave rather than stay. Fairs doos, the Soulo was as solid as a rock mate 💪🏻. You certainly get what you pay for. A gentle breeze my ar&e 😂. I’ll check out the primus gas mate. TYFW ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
@@OmmerSyssel I don't think my Anjan 3 could withstand these winds. And I'm asking myself if an Akto could... Because I'm actually planning to buy the Akto.
Certainly good buying your food from Adi's - take the time to choose it is so sensible & you do save. They also have good Scotch Fillets sometimes at a good price. The winds were certainly loud enough. Cheers
I think this is a great video... I think I heard you use the expression.... wet as an otters pocket.... I like that expression . Thanks for a great video .
If that’s not a good advert for a Hilleberg tent then I don’t know what is! Cracking video Jiffy. That tent was seriously going mad!! Hope all well with you mate. Ben
Great stuff Jiffy , the hilly kept you safe even though you probably didn't feel it at the time lol . I will be trying that custard and sponge trick next time Im out . atb Dave
Border Rambler Cheers Dave. I think it was safer to stay rather than leave mate. Never had wind like that before, it didn’t let up for over 6 hours. The sponge pudding and custard helped 😉. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Just a bit breezy he says, it was like you and your Hili were on the spin cycle in a washing machine... what a night uffff . Good job you had a quality tent and good ground fixings.. I live around the Cader Idris area... and it’s been rough... and now storm Dennis is coming in .. stay safe !!! See you on the next one ..
Within the first few seconds of seeing this video I subscribed, knowing that I'd found a truly excellent channel! Actual, real world camping in the weather we get is an excellent test of equipment. Thank you for your information on the Aldi goodies, I particularly liked how you added the chicken pieces and mixed nuts to the pan and the custard and cake idea was phenomenal, loved by school dessert loving (grown up) kids everywhere! I carry a small assortment of different herbs and spices to boost whatever I cook, they invariably bring it to life a little better. What an outstanding testament to the necessity of high quality gear for winter outdoor trips your video is, your perfectly pitched tent protected you and your camp from the worst of weather. Your time pitching it was very well invested! Neat idea on the hot water bottle, I've only ever used a MSR 2l Dromedary water bag (because that's all I had) and I soon found out that it needs a cover on it! Ever though the weather forecast was badly inaccurate, your good state of preparedness and high quality equipment kept you safe and dry. When you said that your tent was as stable as a house, it was the real life definition of 'Safe House'!
Impressive. The cooking was about how I do it. Believe I'd use a bigger gas canister. We have a Coleman cannister that's about 2 1/2 times the size. Especially seeing as you're actually cooking. Great job👍 That tent was rocking, but held up. 60 plus mph, or more. Seriously good job on the rigging. And then...you had the class to thank the woman who was the seamstress for the tent. Well done👍
Batsen Belfry Thank you. I use those small canisters when I only go out for one night. I was carrying a spare one, just in case. Wished I’d had an instrument to measure the wind speed 😂. The tent was solid though, thankfully. Thank you for watching ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Nice Vid Jiffy, we had a similar experience on a camp not far from there in the Black mountains just before Christmas on Waun Fach, we also checked the forecast and it looked ok but a different story once there and couldn't come down because of fog and storm force winds.Glad you stuck it out, all the best Twin Peaks.
Wild Camping Welshman yeah we are good mate, off to Snowdonia next Saturday for a long awaited camp near Beddgelert if the authorities allow it 😀take care pal 👍🏻
@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors I hope you have a good one boys, if movement is allowed. Looking at the maths, we will be in a lock down of some kind from Mon/Tues.
Good one bud, could you have gotten any more exposed 😂😂😂 Jiffy, I would have thought about bailing out too mate but we just have to grin and bear it, we’ll done though mate. Keep em coming. Atb Tony
DaveDoesOutdoors Cheers mate. Although the weather wasn’t forecast, it ended up being a great experience. I didn’t get much sleep though 😂. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Very well made film and good thought that you stay this long on just filming the inner tent during the storm. It is easy for one self to think back on similar occations where I have been staring on the tent walls while the stom was getting worse and worse. Unfortunately I was not in a Hilleberg the last time. One pole broke and a minor hole in the fabric was the result :-(
Morning mate. I've often looked in at your videos. They are great, was out the other weekend at rosebush. Good walking weather lol. An windy weekend. But great wildcamp was had. Thanks for your hard work an great video's. Atb andy
Stealth Andy Steath Thank you Andy. The weather hasn’t been too good lately but the wind in this film wasn’t expected at all mate. Goes to show that you can’t rely on weather reports. TYFW ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Brilliant camp. Great tips n cheats. Fair bit of wind 💨 Good job it were a Hilleberg 👌🏻 Send this to Petra at Hilleberg and tell her How pleased yer were to be in one of her tents 🏕
Excellent video,new to your channel. Found your channel on Instagram and very worth the subscription. Excellent value for the meals and looked nice. Them conditions were mad,but great to watch. 👍👍👍👍
Great stuff Jiffy. You made the best of it and thats the main thing.. positivity! Loving the custard and pudding combination, I bet it was nicer than something in a pouch from a camping shop. We have had some rum winds lately haven’t we?! I am looking forward to a change in the weather, being as we havent had a proper winter! Catch you soon mate, Atb Joss
Thank you mate. I don't get much luck with weather at the best of times but this was really unexpected. Thank god I'd had some sponge pudding! 😂. I'm looking forward to a change too but would have liked to have had some snow. Last year I did a camp in April and woke up to snow everywhere. who knows with this global warming? TYFW mate, ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Definitely a bit breezy 🤣😂 reminds me of when I hiked the sdw last year had to wild camp through storm Francis thought my little nordisk was gonna fail but bless, it survived 🙏 thank the lord for ear plugs 😁 atb daz
Windy enough yes 😀 love your movies, I am planning to buy either Akto or Soulo. Hard decision!! Don't want to carry to much weight, but the comfort in the Soulo....very hard decision.
@@WildCampingWelshman Thanks for good advice! I feel it goes in that direction 🙂 probably much better in snow also, witch we have more than enough of here in Northern Norway!
The only thing that lets it down, compared to the Akto, is the width of the vestibule. It’s a few inches narrower than the Akto. It is still usable though.
@@WildCampingWelshman yes like I said, hard decision 😅. I'm not so tall, but the sitting space in the Soulo seems so comfortable in the long run. But then again, almost one kilo more weight in the backpack. But thanks again for good advice and the video's!
A tad bit breezy but not windy enough 😅😅 Jiffy, that much wind would have scared me after my experience in The Lakes. But hey, I was in a cheap Coleman Darwin Tent so 🤷🏻♀️ Haha! Fair do’s on not bailing! That’s a “Full Monty” dinner right there. Ramsay would be proud! Hehe. I must say, i do like that pasta! Never tried adding nuts like that into it though. Love the shoutout to Margo, thoughtful gestures go a long way! Cheers, Mari
Than you Mari. I like to boost the protein content a bit because freeze dried tends to be carb heavy. I'll hopefully come up with some more ideas for cheaper meals this year. Have you just bought a Soulo because I haven't noticed you with one before? I hope someone passes the message to Margot, people are quick to condemn but slow to praise. The tent was solid and has given me some extra confidence. It helped that I knew the ground was good when I put the pegs in. TYFW ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Bloody jiffy, certainly #embraceit 😂 well done bud, good video and what speed wind was that. Loving the aldi food can't beat it. Wetter than an otters pocket 😂🙏 ATB Dave Outdoors 🙏👍
Awesome footage! The tent stood up well to the battering, but must admit I prefer the likes of the Polish Lavvu - less noise from it flapping around like the modern tents and they don't move.
Great vid and the comment that the weather forecast was a light breeze made me chuckle like a loon. What is the pot and pan set you are using please ? Well done on not bailing and heading for the valleys.
Tregarrock Thank you mate. I use a toaks 550 mug inside an MSR Titan kettle, inside one of my pots from a Trangia 27 (with the handle too). It’s give me a bit more flexibility with meal selections. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻

@@WildCampingWelshman no worries Jiffy I miss your uploads they were always very entertaining.
What a amazing site that happened outside your tent! It really is amazing . And also terrible in a totally trippy dimensional way. Really.
Great video. Crazy summit camp. That's the sort of thing I'd do in my red Soulo.

Hey pop great video man keep it doing it be bless.❤✌🖐👌
I have a soulo (2 weeks old pitched once) so it’s good to see this video and know if pitched correctly it will withstand high winds. Fab video.

Hi Peter, the weather report was ok, so the wind was a lovely surprise 😂
It feels like the tent has taken off and it’s flying in high altitude 😂👍🏻
I thought it had at one point 😂😂😂👍🏻
HELLO. GREAT. CAMPING.
This is why I’m saving for this tent. Forecasts are so unreliable I don’t want to ever get caught out again. Having a Soulo means you really don’t have to worry about too much of a change in conditions.
Also, worth mentioning. I’m having that custard and sponge pudding idea. Thanks!!

Thanks for the demo. Now I want one.
Now that's a nice shower! Great, one can feel save in a Hilleberg, they can take virtually anything. I use an Unna and am very very happy with it.

Morning mate. I've often looked in at your videos. They are great, was out the other weekend at rosebush. Good walking weather lol. An windy weekend. But great wildcamp was had. Thanks for your hard work an great video's. Atb andy
Stealth Andy Steath Thank you Andy. The weather hasn’t been too good lately but the wind in this film wasn’t expected at all mate. Goes to show that you can’t rely on weather reports. TYFW ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
@@WildCampingWelshman me an mi mate were laughing at that one. Was only about 20~30 mph that day. I ended up 60-80, can't trust the weather man lol.
Brilliant camp. Great tips n cheats.
Fair bit of wind 💨
Good job it were a Hilleberg 👌🏻
Send this to Petra at Hilleberg and tell her How pleased yer were to be in one of her tents 🏕
Michael Thank you. I’m hoping someone from Hilleberg sees it and passes my message on. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Hi Just subscribed so I will be going through your videos 👍🏻
Think you should send it to Petra @ Hilleberg
Michael I have copied her into a message in the Hilleberg Facebook group 👍🏻
That’s great 👍🏻
I would have done it, but far better coming from the author and owner. 🙏🏻
Great video mate. Gentle breeze 😂😂. Cracking views round there though bud. Nice morning after the storm.
Great video
ATB Adam 👍👍
Cheers mate 👍🏻
Excellent video,new to your channel. Found your channel on Instagram and very worth the subscription.
Excellent value for the meals and looked nice.
Them conditions were mad,but great to watch.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Great stuff Jiffy. You made the best of it and thats the main thing.. positivity! Loving the custard and pudding combination, I bet it was nicer than something in a pouch from a camping shop. We have had some rum winds lately haven’t we?! I am looking forward to a change in the weather, being as we havent had a proper winter! Catch you soon mate, Atb Joss
Thank you mate. I don't get much luck with weather at the best of times but this was really unexpected. Thank god I'd had some sponge pudding! 😂. I'm looking forward to a change too but would have liked to have had some snow. Last year I did a camp in April and woke up to snow everywhere. who knows with this global warming? TYFW mate, ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Smiles per hour 18:18 - Like any other quality purchase!
Perfect sleeping weather!
xxn0thing 😂 a great night’s sleep, honest 😉
superb loved watching that! what is the stove and weight … i have the trangia plus gas burner very stable but heavy
It’s an Optimus Vega 👍🏻
Definitely a bit breezy 🤣😂 reminds me of when I hiked the sdw last year had to wild camp through storm Francis thought my little nordisk was gonna fail but bless, it survived 🙏 thank the lord for ear plugs 😁 atb daz
Cheers Daz. Not what I was expecting at all. Thankfully the ground was good and held the pegs in well. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻🏴
Loving the superman cool bag!! 😂
I never leave home without it 😂👍🏻
Haha this is awesome mate! Looks like the tent held up really well! 👍
It did mate, thankfully 🙏🏻. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Windy enough yes 😀 love your movies, I am planning to buy either Akto or Soulo. Hard decision!! Don't want to carry to much weight, but the comfort in the Soulo....very hard decision.
My recommendation would be the Soulo. They are both great tents but there is more headroom and it is stronger in high winds. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
@@WildCampingWelshman Thanks for good advice! I feel it goes in that direction 🙂 probably much better in snow also, witch we have more than enough of here in Northern Norway!
The only thing that lets it down, compared to the Akto, is the width of the vestibule. It’s a few inches narrower than the Akto. It is still usable though.
@@WildCampingWelshman yes like I said, hard decision 😅. I'm not so tall, but the sitting space in the Soulo seems so comfortable in the long run. But then again, almost one kilo more weight in the backpack. But thanks again for good advice and the video's!

Awsome video. Just subscribed. New American freind here 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thank you Bill 👍🏻
Gently Welsh breeze…. 😂 Epic mate. On a serious note you were lucky you weren’t hit by any flying debris! 😳😬
It certainly wasn’t expected. Flying debris would have been the icing on the cake 😂
amazinGGG!!!
Thank you 👍🏻
That's why I too have a Soulo for our lovely summer weather on the west coast of Scotland..🤣
So true mate. I’ve barely had any decent weather over the years including the Summer months. UK weather is so unpredictable 👍🏻🏴
THAT WIND WAS INSANE!!! That is the kind of weather that rips tents out of the ground
It certainly wasn’t expected 😂
A tad bit breezy but not windy enough 😅😅 Jiffy, that much wind would have scared me after my experience in The Lakes. But hey, I was in a cheap Coleman Darwin Tent so 🤷🏻♀️ Haha! Fair do’s on not bailing!
That’s a “Full Monty” dinner right there. Ramsay would be proud! Hehe. I must say, i do like that pasta! Never tried adding nuts like that into it though.
Love the shoutout to Margo, thoughtful gestures go a long way! Cheers, Mari
Than you Mari. I like to boost the protein content a bit because freeze dried tends to be carb heavy. I'll hopefully come up with some more ideas for cheaper meals this year. Have you just bought a Soulo because I haven't noticed you with one before? I hope someone passes the message to Margot, people are quick to condemn but slow to praise. The tent was solid and has given me some extra confidence. It helped that I knew the ground was good when I put the pegs in. TYFW ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Good video that mate (Wuz here), fair doos it got a bit of a breeze on!
Thank you Warren, great to hear from you old friend. It was a tad breezy mate 😬😂. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Bloody jiffy, certainly #embraceit 😂 well done bud, good video and what speed wind was that. Loving the aldi food can't beat it. Wetter than an otters pocket 😂🙏 ATB Dave Outdoors 🙏👍
Thank you mate. God knows what the wind speed was but I’d say a tad breezy 😂. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Hello mate. I like that little table you’re using. Can you share what it is?
It’s just called a lightweight camping table. I think I paid £12 on Aliexpress for it 👍🏻
Awesome footage! The tent stood up well to the battering, but must admit I prefer the likes of the Polish Lavvu - less noise from it flapping around like the modern tents and they don't move.
TheVocalMale They’re good tents mate but I find the pole a bit irritating in the middle. A solid tent though. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
Very cool 😊
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great vid and the comment that the weather forecast was a light breeze made me chuckle like a loon. What is the pot and pan set you are using please ? Well done on not bailing and heading for the valleys.
Tregarrock Thank you mate. I use a toaks 550 mug inside an MSR Titan kettle, inside one of my pots from a Trangia 27 (with the handle too). It’s give me a bit more flexibility with meal selections. ATB Jiffy 👍🏻
