After searching for months on the internet looking for the holy grail of tents I hope that at last I may have found one that ticks all the boxes. With several features that allow for different conditions and styles of camping it may be my new go to tent from now on and am looking forward to trying it out soon.! Spent ages looking at Terra Nova’s, Hilleberg’s, Tarptents, Trekkertent, Duomid, Trailstar and MSR to name a few but they all had one issue or another such as poor wind stability, condensation, weight, waiting lists, etc. So at last I think that this may be the ideal 4 seasons does it all tent for various scenarios? It is a fairly Lightweight tent system, and could be fairly ultralight if just using the flysheet and your walking poles. This offers a good design with a great space-to-weight ratio. The pyramid style design with one DAC center pole cuts weight in a big way and is supposed to offer extreme stability in bad weather conditions. Purchased the flysheet and pole setup and initially the single 'Luxe HexpeakV4' inner nest to try out the tent. plan on getting a full mesh inner from China and the proper Nigor double inner. Tent could allow for the following combinations if you do a bit of searching and sourcing. 1. Flysheet only. 2. Flysheet and single person full inner mesh 3. Fly and single person solid inner 4. Flysheet and double solid inner 5. Possible camping stove addition Features I really like. 1. Weather and wind shedding capability. 2. Multiple pole options 3. Multiple tie out points for guy lines. 4. Can use my Pacer or any other trekking poles to lower weight. 5. Ample space for kit and getting changed. 6. Easiest tent I have ever had for packing away 7. Takes up very little space in rucksack. However as with all tents it may look good on first pitch and the principles seem sound but the real proof will be in the using. So will keep this until the end of the year and in to the winter to see how it really performs. Please check out links below for further information on this tent and its setup combinations as well as practical films from use in winter. In particular using an internal stove. This idea looks a possibility but would recommend doing further research on the safety aspects before taking this concept further. https://markswalkingblog.wordpress.com/2015/09/15/nigor-wickiup-3-sul-tent-options/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00-Um-yvTR8 http://tgomagazine.co.uk/gear-editors-column/chriss-column-nigor-wickiup-3-sul-pyramid-tent/ http://www.christownsendoutdoors.com/2016/04/nigor-wickiup-3-reviewed-for-great.html http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/shelters-1/WF136.html http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/shelters-1/WB117.html _________________________________________________________________ Despite their modest height, walking and climbing in the Scottish mountains may be made treacherous by their latitude and exposure to Atlantic weather systems. Even in summer, conditions can be atrocious; thick fog, strong winds, driving rain and freezing summit temperatures are commonplace. The content shown in my films are just my own opinions, thoughts and as a way to record my trips. Walking and hiking in the Scottish mountains & hills can be dangerous and is done entirely at your own risk. Note: You are responsible for your own safety. Are you fit enough to complete your chosen walk in the available time? Ensure you have the correct clothing for the changeable Scottish weather. Know where you are going on the walk and follow the route on your map. At the very least carry a map & compass, survival bag, torch, whistle and small first aid kit. Ensure you have enough food plus emergency rations. Cold temperatures will reduce the life of your batteries. In severe winter conditions you must carry an ice axe. You are also recommended to carry crampons. Learn and know how to use your equipment. _________________________________________________________________ Outdoors, Bushcraft, Bush craft, Woodcraft, Wood craft, Survival, Historical lore, Primitive skills, Archery, Fishing, Navigation, Knives, Axes, Fire, Water, Shelter, Search and Rescue, Wildcamp, Wild camp, Nature, Edc.
