Cheers Steve, it was good to be back out in the Tarpstar. I've really missed it.🙂

Thanks mate. After building a bit of sweat up on the hike inbound, once I've gotten my tent pitched and I sit down and stop, the beer always tastes better.🙂

Cheers Ray, after spending some time in the Bobcat recently, going back to the Tarpstar was a bit of a shock, space wise (in a good way).🙂

I hope that it went down well with the beer Fox.🙂

Nice one mate.👍 It was good to be back in the Tarpstar.🙂

Thanks for watching John, and what a great suggestion mate! I'm going to give that a try. I might also try a brown sauce variant lol.🙂

Nice one Beks. What a small world, we've both parked our bums on that grass for a breather.🙂 I'm glad that you had the weather with you for your trip, it sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for watching, and also, for the nice comment.👍

Nice one Chris, it's a great tent. If you have any issues with pitching it (i.e. Getting the tent taught, pole height, etc), then let me know mate.👍

Alreet Fen.🙂 It's good to hear from you..👍 Thanks for watching and for the comment mate

@Hengists_Wild_Camps Sorry it's been a while. I've had a lot on and stayed away from a lot of social stuff, but I'm on the other side and catching up. Saw your self folding polestar, too. Hard to believe they were so close together.

@@fenpunx If we manage to get a camp sorted together this year mate, I'll bring my coop Warhammer 40K Space Marine Adventures: Labyrinth of the Necrons board game along. That'll help with catching up on the social stuff over a few beers. Grown up men acting like kids in tents lol.🙂

@Hengists_Wild_Camps Aye, it's always on the cards but never unfolds. Just got back from a mammoth jaunt in the Highlands, though. That's lit a bit of a fire under me.

It’s a great spot Dave was there last night you must try it 👍

@@Marks_outdoors thanks Mark I certainly will, I’m not keen on the exposed locations.

Cheers Dave. The only things that are missing from that spot are; A view & Mobile reception. Apart from that, it's got everything that you need... Flat, sheltered, secluded with water nearby. 👍

Thanks for watching mate, and also, for taking the time to comment with that great feedback.👍

Thanks Paul for the nice comment mate.👍

Cheers Andy, and I hope that you've recovered from your DIY activities.🙂 That place is one of my favourite Kinder spots. Apart from a view and mobile reception, it's got everything that you could need. Surprisingly, the guts were okay on the drive back mate.👍

When I film myself Hardy, I'm beginning to think that a wealthy, privileged, middle class upbringing, somehow doesn't appear to be coming across on camera mate.🙂

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps lol, hope it doesn’t on mine. Brought up in a council house and to a one parent family. Maggie Thatchers nightmare !

Cheers Si. 👍 Did you watch it whilst out on your latest camp?

Yes mate washed down with some of Scotlands finest🥃

Cheers Phil. Going up the Nab is probably steeper than Jacobs Ladder and around the same as going up Grindslow Knoll or the Crowden Tower routes. It's one of those short, shock type routes, i.e. Steep in parts but it doesn't take long to get to the top and it has some great views along the way. Thanks for watching mate.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps except you don't have to lug your backpack from Edale to Jacobs Ladder!

Thanks for watching Mark. It's also good to learn that you're also familiar with that spot mate, I love that location. Apart from a view and mobile reception, it has everything that you need, including remoteness and not being disturbed.👍

Thanks for watching Rob. I do like that Tarpstar. The weight to space ratio is great and the tent is so easy and fast to pitch.👍

I’ve just bought their new ultralight tent , bit pricey but light … looks good

If you get one Stu, I don't think that you'll be disappointed with it mate.👍

Cheers Ben.🙂 That was the first time that I'd tried the Tarpstar in that configuration and I loved it. However, I doubt that I'll be using it like that once it starts to get warmer and the insects come out to play. In-fact not just insect, the very first time that I tried the tent, in my Derwent River video, as the Sun was going down I spotted some 6 inch Slugs slithering around outside. In the morning there were trails in the living room area of the tent, and trails that went halfway up the inner before (I assume) they fell off. I thoroughly checked the tent in the morning, but there were no sign of the Slugs. I'm glad that I had the inner that night though. As for condensation Ben, on this camp there was a tiny bit near the apex at the top of the tent. However, I was back up there last week, and this time it was raining a lot, I was boiling water inside with the tent fully zipped up, and at one point, there were two of us sat inside downing a few beers. In the morning there was condensation on every panel. It was no worse than what you'd get in any other tent, and the good thing about these pyramid tents is that due to the angle of the walls, any condensation tends to run down the wall rather than drip.👍

Thanks for watching Mike, and also, for taking the time to post a comment, both are appreciated mate.👍 I may return back to Reddit, but I need a break from the place. Whenever I posted a trip report video, almost immediately someone would downvote it, making me feel like these types of posts weren't welcome. So rather than complain, I instead just quietly left.

I do love that spot Mark. The only things that it misses are a view, and mobile signal reception. Apart from those 2 things, it's one of my favourite locations to visit.👍

Many thanks for that Ralph, I really appreciate it mate.👍

Lol Woolfie, I was fine on that front.🙂

Thanks Mark. That was the first time that I've used it like that without the inner. At the moment, with the current temperatures, I can get away with it. However, once it starts to get warmer and the insects come out to play, or if I'm camping in an area with a risk of Slug slime trail attacks, then I'll be using the inner once again mate.😊 Even with the inner, the Tarpstar is still pretty big when inside it.👍

I'm still going to call it the northern edge Steve, that's what I've always called it mate.🙂 I've always thought of the Woolpacks as the southern edge, with Ashop Head as the western edge (not the eastern edge, as I wrongly mentioned in the video) Crookstone Knoll as the eastern edge, and Fairbrook Naze/Seal Edge being the northern edge. I think that Kev was basing his comments on where the Sun rises and sets.🙂

Thanks for watching Taff.👍 I bought the bag off Amazon a few years ago (they don't list it anymore) from a Chinese company that I can't pronounce. The bag has a down filling with a comfort rating of -3'C (which surprisingly to me, turned out to be correct). It weighs 700 grams and it compresses nicely into the sleeping bag compartments at the bottom of my rucksacks. Back when I bought it, I think that I paid around £65 quid for it.

@Hengists_Wild_Camps thanks for getting back ill see if I can find one similar ps tried the 7.3 love it so thanks for that to 👍👍👍👍

Hi mate and thanks for watching.🙂 Yes, as you've mentioned, you pitch the outer first with the Tarpstar, then crawl inside and attach the inner. I only own the Tarpstar 1, but apart from the mesh inner being different on the T2, both tents are identical in size.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps last question I promise. My walking poles are not adjustable. They’re 130 cm do you think I’ll get away with that or have to buy the specific one ?

@@munkib00ii Hi mate. The following is from Alpkit's Tarpstar website section... 'Compatible with trekking poles between 120 - 130cm (optimised for 125cm)' So, you should be okay with the pole which you have. I hope that that info' helps?👍
