A few years ago when the 690 Grams Vaude Lizard GUL (Giga Ultra Light) 1p was launched I thought it looked like a really radical cutting edge tent at an amazing weight for a double skin backpacking shelter. But it was £500+ ! It's only now I managed to pick one up second hand at a much more reasonable cost to finally give it a go. It has to be the smallest tent I've ever owned so can I live with it?

I like it, had a Vaude Hogan 1p for many years. I loved that tent. 1.2kg and bomb proof, high winds in scotland and -15 in Mongolia with some serious snow.

Another tent….I thought I had a problem 😂

A problem shared ...as the saying goes . I'm pretty sure you're ahead of me in the tent stakes 😉

@PaulMessner 9 ай бұрын

@@AndrewParkOutdoors I get corrected when I say stakes. It’s pegs apparently here in the U.K. 😂. By the way, I’ve got a vango neon UL if you want to borrow it. Be nice to see someone else being tortured in a real tiny tent. 😉

Glad you’re pleased with it Andrew. I hope you found the additional footprint in the box before you binned it 🤞

I did Justin, thanks. I'll probably not use that very often though ,as it spoils the whole gram counting exercise ( but thanks for including it ) 😂

Vaude have made some interesting, wacky gear over the years.

Andrew do you ever dream of having just a couple of tents you're happy with? Or do you just enjoy the thrill of the chase? That tent is closer to a hooped bivvy than a tent to my eye, like you observed. Horrid little drip coffin, I'll be surprised if you use it much. For 100g more you can enjoy the comparative palace which is the Tarptent Notch. Nice wristwatch btw.

Sell one buy one, is how it goes :-) I'm beginning to settle down on the purchases unless something is radically different. Liking my North Face Assault right now and I don't know about the Vaude yet, only had one night in it, no condensation issues amazing but it was a windy night. A

I can't imagine spending a long night in that tent, it seems so claustrophobic.

@CharlieBooker00 9 ай бұрын

just a funny little detail 😂🙃it's pronounced Faude (listen to the end of the videos Vaude makes them selfs) the reason is that a w in german is called a v and a v is called a fau and is pronounced as an f its the same with VW its called Folks Vagen if you say it right even though its spelled volkswagen 😀

@AndrewParkOutdoors 9 ай бұрын

Cheers for that, I've never had a clue how you say it , and I've had three of their tents 😂

@iaina3251 9 ай бұрын

Very interesting tent and design. I can definitely see the appeal and where it would be useful. I can also see why it's no longer in production as well though, there are cheaper tents out there that could do a similar (ish) job

Hi I have this tent too but that adjuster got messed around with when it was repaired , any chance of uploading the routing of it in more detail please. 3:00-3:11

Hi. Thanks for watching. I'm not sure it's actually tied on correctly. I'm going to untie it and re-assemble to see if i can make it smoother ! A

Interesting tent there Andrew. Will be interesting to see how you get on with it. Are you planning on putting it through any windy tests?

How much Andrew?.

@AndrewParkOutdoors 9 ай бұрын

£150 to me, £500 new I think at the time.

@DonP_is_lostagain 9 ай бұрын

That looks like a tent that's more for strictly sleeping in. If expecting precipitation, carrying along a tarp might be a good idea. Like a small 1.5m x 2m. Might offset the weight savings of the tent though. Interesting tent setup though.
