Hello, join me on a short micro adventure in my home county of Northamptonshire. It's a lovely hot summer evening in mid-June 2023. I'm trying out my new (second-hand) tent, the Lunar Solo, made by Six Moon Designs. Also trying out a new light by Sunblesea and a gas stove.
Links to products in the video are below:

I did hear voices around 5am and thought nothing of it, I thought maybe a mobile security van was checking the BT comms tower as a routine patrol. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw someone jumping from it, I thought it might have been Batman!

I really like my Lunar Solo. Lots of space, easy to set up, and pretty light weight. I know SMD say to pitch the back into the wind, but on nights where there is no threat of rain I'll put the door towards the breeze with both sides of the vestibule tied back. No condensation build up and it's like a funnel for the breeze, keeping you cool.

@ramblingracheltrailtales Жыл бұрын
I was very fortunate with the weather, perfect conditions. I still need to test it out in the rain. I’ve had double layered tents before that had condensation, it’s just happens every now again, it’s nothing to worried about. 😎 So far, I’m really happy with the tent. I do like trekking pole tents.

Dear Rachel The green light makes reading maps in the dark easier (contour lines don't show up well with white or red flashlights). The blue light is excellent for medical work in the dark as it shows up blood much better than the other light colours. Hope that is of help.

Hi Rachel. Great little spot you found there, tucked away down into the long grass👍 To me, the green of your new tent looks much more stealthy than the Lanshan shade of green. Ideal for a spot like that! You may have seen, I use a 36l Osprey pack (the Stratos) for overnighters too. I find it just big enough, so long as you don't bring any luxuries! 😁 Keeps you disciplined and keeps the weight down though👍 Great camp & a beautiful sunrise! All the best👍😊

I hear good things about the OEX Bobcat, definitely a contender. Yeah, still kicking myself for selling the Lanshan, really good tent too. Thankfully the mozzies weren’t out much where I was, just the gnats. However I was covered from head to toe in Jungle formula which sinks but does the job. Thanks for watching. X

That was a wonderful little night out, thank you so much for inviting us. Here is a little tip from the military for eating a military ration without using a long spoon. Just cut or tear the pouch along the side, instead of the top, and it will open up like a bowl. It's much easier than trying to reach down all the way to the bottom through the smaller opening at the top. Good Luck and Happy Camping.

If stealth caming , you would be leess likely to be seen near gdeenery or trees. Nice tent quite a bit of space. May be an idea to let rain wash it. I see loaxs with trecking poles theseday, i cant see the benifit of them really. Used to use a good companions A frame tent, very good but heVy, okay if you have a car with you but not ifyomping it on foot for mles. I tend ro keep weight down tbesedays if possible and not take to much kit to cary, just keep it simple. You can get at outdoor supply shops all day breakfasts in a packet like beans, bangers and mash and simular. Or just take porridge kr weetabix and milk. Good video rachael

Hi 👋 Thanks for stopping by. I bought a load of tent meals, which I haven’t really taken too but need to eat them up. Can’t go wrong with porridge with a dash of honey. The spot I pitched was an area I know really well. Out of sight from buildings (the tower is unmanned) and off the path. I didn’t see a soul apart from the base jumpers! Lol!

Nice looking tent, love the discreet colour. The sunblesa lite looks fancy! Steak and vegetables with dumplings? Now that sounds amazing. Looks decent too, sporks away! Love the friendly cows, that would be Alan Metalman having nightmares! Like the blue setting and RC on the sunblesa. Great sunrise, think the skylark got you up to see it!

Hi Rachel I always enjoy your product review starting with clear description, test, and your honest opinion. OMG, you can talk and talk, documentation is superb! Is that backpack water proof? Cool to know it is easy for yourself to build a tent. I wonder how the fabric can be sturdy and resistant against inclement weather? How come you could not use a remote to change the color for the light? ]wow that little stove piece makes a little difference, wow Yes, it is rewarding to view this sunrise 12:53 gorgeous it is! OMG, you are one of the brave hikers. I am afraid being along in the tent over night. haha See you next time. Thank YOU.
