Just bought the Helm 1 and must do a review of it. This looked a very impressive tent and given it was supposed to be a 2 man tent, very lightweight indeed. Giving there is almost no extra weight than the Helm 1, I am kinda wishing I had bought this one now lol! Cheers Alan

Great initial review. I recently bought a Helm 1 which I have used about 5 nights and absolutely love but as I find myself taking my mad cocker spaniel wild camping more often on Dartmoor, I think the additional space would nice for a slight increase in weight. I also reckon I can sneak this past my partner (who says I have too many tents.....7) as it looks identical to the Helm..... she wont be able to tell! Looking forward to you reviewing it.in depth. The girls made me laugh :)

Gibbo 500 cheers mate. It’s got all the hallmarks of a great tent. Stay tuned or sub as should have some more footage of it in the Wild soon. We are getting a dog next year so that’s my main reason for getting a bigger tent. Can’t get any madder than a cocker! Lol
@markgibbons49385 жыл бұрын
Yep subscribed already and set up a notification. My dog loves camping and has his own Lowe Alpine down jacket that I wrap him up in for a sleeping bag. He takes over the tent though, sprawls out and always gets a good night sleep, I'm left with a few inches just enough to lie on my side and spend half the night awake....lol. Whenever I pack my kit to go out for the night he won't leave me alone and 9 times out of 10 gets his own way and ends up coming with me. They are such good fun and great company. lol

HT. How much longer is the inner tent compared with the Helm 1. I'm 6'3 and use an Exped Synmat UL LW(long) mat but always felt the Helm was a little on the short side but put up with it. After using one of my other tents at the weekend I now realise that I miss the extra length of which I 'm hoping the Pioneer will be better. Also when you do use it I would be interested to know how it copes with condensation as I think the Helm is really good at minimising condensation. I have been itching to buy one since your initial video but will wait for your review........ hopefully I wont be disappointed!

Will let you know, but from what I’ve seen so far it’s quite a bit longer than the helm . Should be out in it this week so will measure.

Hi hardy, after some advice I have the pioneer 2 with a footprint but I find its a nightmare to line up am I doing something wrong , and is there a easy way to put the tent a match it up with the footprint. Can't find ant videos or help. Hope you can put some light on the matter please. Thanks nick
@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks4 жыл бұрын
Good morning. Yes , matching to the foot print can be a faff. I’ve attached the footprint at the red pole peg out points and the side peg out points, it all then packs together. Just a quick release knot so it’s already to go. Obviously make sure your footprint is clean before packing away or detach it if it isn’t. White inner tents and mud don’t mix. Lol. If you don’t want to do that , just peg out the red pole sections on the footprint and place the tent on then pull out the sides with the footprint peg outs until you get the best position. Hope this helps. Hardy

@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks4 жыл бұрын
Hi, there is no tensioning system on the Pioneer, the poles have extra holes so that you can adjust the tension on the fly though. This essentially does the same thing. Haven’t found it flappy to honest, above 40 mph it does but that’s expected. Cheers and thanks for watching. Hardy

I love the helm one , I think if you take everything into consideration price,weight,longevity and room it’s probably the best one man tent you can buy. It definitely punches well above it’s weight. I love the pioneer because of the room, weight and price. When I need extra room it’s the pioneer, for everything else it’s the helm. I have the new helm one compact on order , will do a review when it eventually arrives. Cheers mate. Hardy
