@@dougieranger I bought the footprint for my Enan. It is attached to the Enan floor for a lil more protection for my XTherm Air mattress as our ground is hard as concrete & normally dry as a bone. When pitching your Enan: Tip #1: Place a small flat stone at the base of each of those short fiberglass poles. That will keep it from sinking into soft ground during strong gusty windy conditions. That helps retain tent tension. Tip#2: Add 2 extra guylines & stakes at whichever end of your tent is facing into the wind, for added tension. I do both tips as well as placing a big heavy rock atop each tent stage because I am certain it will get strong gusty windy, sometime during the night & I don't want my tent stakes to pull out of the ground as hard as it may be.

Some great tips there, thank you. I have the attached groundsheet for all my Hilleberg tents, for a small expense it provides valuable protection and helps prevent condensation, a real issue in this climate. Of course there’s a weight penalty but it’s worth it in my experience. Best wishes to Nevada from rainy Scotland.
It was a great first outing for the Soulo BL. It certainly passed with flying colours. Do it, it’s different from being in the mountains, everything gets covered in a fine layer of salt for a start.
all such camping videos involve large amounts of materials ( tent, tarp, guylines, sleepong bag,rain gear, stoce, knives, pegs, plastic bags of food..etc..etc...) assembled for one night...
@dougieranger pictures of Jupiter were fantastic. I walked the Arran coastal way a couple of years ago and we had some of the clearest skies I've ever seen. Must be something to do with the light pollution. Look forward to your next one mate 👌
@@LeesOutdoorOdyssey Thanks Lee, very much appreciated bro. Yeah, difficult to miss Jupiter at the moment, it’s so bright. I was amazed at the Plough showing so clearly onscreen though. I got a DJI Mini 3 Pro so I’ll try to familiarise myself with that for the next one.
@@murchiesmountains2820 I had one Robert, it’s a great tent but it’s not for high winds… had a bad experience in Glen Feshie years ago. Broken pole, ripped fly sheet… wasn’t a great night. 😂
Yeah I really like my flextail lamp / blower pump. I have very wide shoulders and I have a LARGE sleeping mat it's got two valves to pump it up flextail makes short work of it. The light is kind of nice too.
@@coraandtheexplorer That’s the best approach. Just accept that you’re going to get soaked and get on with it. Trail runners are the way to go, light and comfortable and they dry pretty quickly.
@@bimazivanovic4784 If the Nordisk 1 is pitched correctly it's ok (which is a bit hard to do) you need to scallop both ends (or use something to hold each end up in the middle about 3 or 4 inches to improve the airflow) but yes they are not the best for condensation...can be further improved by leaving door up a bit if no rain or wind. Other than that and the fact they are very thin...great lightweight tent.
Hi Kevo, thanks for watching mate. That’s the Hyperlite Mountain Gear - Southwest 3400, it’s around 55L and weighs something like 960gm. It’s almost waterproof, handy here in Scotland.
Thank you Joseph and welcome aboard. Great to have you here, my 200th subscriber. I think, when properly pegged, the Soulo BL could withstand a Category 1, sustained 74-95mph wind. To be honest, I can’t imagine going out in such a wind, I mean, I could be caught unawares but I wouldn’t do it deliberately. The poles are short, thick and strong, a bit like me and they didn’t even flex in the 45mph winds last week. I once had an MSR Hubba Hubba NX trashed by wind in Glen Feshie so I’m very wary about using lightweight tents.
@@dougieranger I am moving to East glacier Montana where the winds are occasionally above 75. Particularly in the Winter so I also need to look at that tent supports a stove Jack.
@@JosephWolf I recently got a Kestrel 3500 pocket weather station thingy. Something like that might help you? Sounds like you’re going to be in for a rough ride Joseph, be careful man.

@@dougieranger I hike and camp mainly in the lakes and the Cheviots so some pretty wild conditions.i got the me in the GT because I move a lot when I sleep so it gives that bit extra room and yea it's a more robust bag than the Rab I think.its always a balance between weight and usability and robustness
@@craig3401 That’s exactly it, weight versus durability. I got the regular version and it’s neat, no spare length on it. Which tent do you use in winter?
Next for you is to solve the cold case case of Mary Gunn! You also have a challenge with the weather up there but shows staying at home is still not necessary..
I’d love to solve the case but it’s more than unlikely Chris. There were three people in the lounge, a husband, wife and Mary Gunn, she was the sister of the wife. Six shots were fired through the window, one hit the man in the hand, two hit the wife, grazing her kidneys, she made a full recovery. The remaining three rounds hit poor Mary Gunn, one in the heart, killing her very quickly. The husband released their dogs but they found nothing. The dogs didn’t bark, perhaps the intruder was known to them? Anyway, it’s all a bit of a mystery that will remain unsolved. Probably unrequited love. The weather here has been incredibly mild Chris. It’s been windy and stormy but it’s not cold, not at all. I expect that’s very different to your location?
@@dougieranger I know Dougie, I just looked up the case on wiki and my first take was that a stranger who for some reason was pissed at the man Alexander did it ...and left the area and was never seen there again. Mary was collateral damage for the psychopath....yes mild here too, actually I expect much rain even during winter here, coastal climate and quite different to my locations in the past. Fine with that, but not ONE good day on a weekend yet after 1 month here....
The soulo uses 3 poles, the AKto 1, but I wonder, which can handle higher winds, a double pole'ed Akto or a standard 3 pole'ed Soulo? Is the Soulo not budging deceptive, could a pole crack without warning as doesnt bend with the wind like an akto, thus taking the full force, potentially causing catastophioc failure?
I haven’t used my Soulo in anything more than around 100kph winds but it literally didn’t budge, not 1mm. The poles will flex, naturally, but only a little. Of course this stability comes with a weight penalty. I’ve never had a Hilleberg pole crack, thankfully.
@@dougieranger Recently got a Soulo BL, A lovely tent indeed. The design is perfection as is the Akto; the Soulo being alot more spacious inside, suffering more from condensation but warmer and gives more confidence. Double poling the side pole should make it totally bombproof.
@@DemiGod..Spot on. I’ve always left the vent open, just a little and it stops any condensation. I like my Enan but it’s not a patch on the amazing Soulo.
Hi there from Sacramento, California. I just came upon your channel and I absolutely love your camping location. I wish it was that easy to wild camp on the California coast but most of the beaches and coastlines are regulated. I bnb hust subscribed.
Thank you for the sub. We are very appreciative of our “right to roam” here in Scotland, most us know how fortunate we are to have these rights. California looks incredible, can you camp near Big Sur?
@@dougieranger I have hiked and camped on Big Sur beaches many times. Big Sur is one of my favorite places on the world. I am from Carmel which is a coastal town just north of Big Sur. You have to steslth/wild camp on the beaches. There are many campsites on the Pacific coast buh ut they are pricey. Better than nothing I guess. LOL
@@bmarie8939 Carmel? I always associate that with the inimitable Clint Eastwood. England is a bit like Cali then when you have to stealth camp and leave early morning. You have paid campsites? We have those but they are for the less adventurous, maybe with kids, where you’re able to get a shower and a hot meal. Like wild camping only more hygienic. 😂
@@dougieranger Oh my gosh. I saw Clint Eastwood all over the place. At his restaurant, at Department of Motor Vehicles, walking around the shops many times. I love him. He is so down to earth and nice. As for the paid campsites, there are and bathrooms and some are more rugged but I truly prefer wild camping. It is more adventurous where hygiene is not important.
