In this video I head out in a Yellow Snow Warning to explore The Devils Pulpit , made famous in the fantasy series, Outlander. Then on for a wild camp at the nearby Whangie in the MSR Tindheim 2. It was also a chance to try my new Holy Stone 720G drone and Light Tour Sleeping mat. I was looking for snow but it was so mild I thought the warning must be wrong.
If you enjoyed my video please consider buying me a coffee or help me to fund a decent drone to improve future videos at www.buymeacoffee.com/andrewpark

Aren't we blessed with such scenery virtually on our doorstep Andrew? I was pleased that you took us along on this particular adventure. Many the days when a student, myself and others would set off either hitching or on the old 'blue' bus along the Drymen Road. Sadly, our priorities were either The Carbeth or The Salmon Leap for the demon drink. We never stopped at The Whangie or The Devil's Pulpit. . So it was a real pleasure to finally see what I had missed all those years ago. Not sure, however, if I would be out there in this weather! That Tindheim looks to be a good bit of gear, though the weight of the snow seemed to enlarge the air vents a good bit. I have come across folk who use double glazing film as a DIY alternative footprint, have you any experience with that? By the way, legend says that The Whangie was formed by the Devil's tail as he sped across that particular spot - probably on his way to his pulpit up the road!

Why do they give warnings about yellow snow. We all know about yellow snow 🤣 loved that vid Andrew. Must be great up there with that snow. Nothing down here near me 🙄 Holy stone sent me the wrong drone, the E instead of the G. Wasn't that impressed but the G is on its way. And I had the same issue with those ear plugs. Had to take them out in the night as were hurting on my side. And..... I've also got that mat to review 🤣 we should join our channels to save all these reviews. Tried it in the garden alongside the x therm and it performed very well. Stats say its the same size and slightly thicker but I found the same thing with it bottoming out when sitting. Decent mat though. Atb Michael

Hi Andrew, I’m loving your videos especially since you’re using the Tindheim. I use a hubba hubba and have recently purchased the tindheim 2 though I’ve not used it yet. The main appeal for me was the pitch in one go, I’m not so mobile as I used to be and have become increasingly concerned about venturing out in my native Aberdeenshire if rain was a possibility. I wild camp using my Brompton bike, I’ve worked out that I can just about accommodate the tent on the bike but if I have a reservation it’s about the space to pitch. I tend to find corners of fields out in the lanes so I probably have more scope that folks that take to the hills. This is the only sticking point as I decide wether to keep it or return it, I know it’s my decision to make but I’d appreciate any input advice you could offer. Thanks, Rob

@AndrewParkOutdoors Жыл бұрын

Hi Robert, the footprint is quite long but I reckon on lower terrain you'll always find the space. The pitch as one aspect is a big advantage I have to say and in sheltered weather even with just 4 pegs which is a boon. I'd give it a go and keep it in good condition, then you can return it if you don't like it ;-)

Hello! I need your advice, please help! The MSR Tindheim 2 tent is sold in my city. How reliable are the materials in it if there is strong wind? How will the tent behave in snowfall? I’m mountaineering, winter is coming soon, and I keep looking at this tent. I wanted to order the Hilleberg nammatj 2 tent, but it is expensive and I have to wait. I understand that MSR copied this tent from Hilleberg? what about the condensate? Is there a lot of it in the tent in the morning or not? In general, my occupation is tourism and mountaineering, in four seasons of the year. Should I buy MSR? Thank you!

@AndrewParkOutdoors 8 ай бұрын

I think it's a viable alternative but you'll want to modify the vents which allow too much air and powder snow in if wind driven, you'd need a solid panel insert or be able to velcro them shut to be honest, other than that it's great!
