Excellent review and demonstration of how to erect the tent so as to get the inner taut.

Great video. Thanks, I've subscribed. I'm thinking of getting the pioneer 2 compact with shorter poles making it easier to get into panniers or across the handlebar. I've already got a vango f10 Xenon and a naturehike cloud up 2. And a wild country panacea 2. I fancy something a bit more solid than the vango and the cloud up and with more headroom. But lighter than the panacea

Great review mate, that looks to be a awesome tent and a brilliant investment, I'd love to see you do a load out or a vid on how you pack your bike bags, I've watched a few others but a lot are either credit card touring or going super light weight with like a bin bag to sleep in 🤣🤣 I've done/do bike touring with a full pannier set, but I've recently bought a polygon mtb and kitted it with a full set of podsac bags including fork bags, but I'm struggling a bit getting the balance/amount of kit packed, even stripped down to what I think is the bare essentials!! So would love to see a realistic kit list including a tent, or hammock and tarp with whatever else you take, great channel btw really enjoy your vids, cheers Mick 👍👍

Great video with a thorough look around the tent. Always keen to see others' take on stuff. I have this tent and do like it. Wondered if you've had it out in strong winds? I think I'd be happy with 40mph winds with this but a little nervous towards of that. So hilltop camps may be a no no given the changing conditions especially in winter. Keen to hear your experience

Nice looking tent! Great review. New follower here. Crow

I've always appreciated clever tent design. In the seventies and eighties I was backpacking and walking 100 mile plus walks like the Alpine Pass Route across Switzerland. The tent I chose was the Keb designed by Bo Hilleberg. The first commercial tent to have the fly and inner connected for simultaneous pitching. The tent was heavy by today's standards but manageable for two if one carried poles and pegs. What I loved about this tent was it had two doors and two vestibule areas, so the kit of two could be kept separate, plus of course the easy pitching. It had many other clever features, too, but I'll not list them. Hilleberg had always wanted to produce a tunnel tent, but at the time, pole materials were not advanced enough. Of course, Hilleberg is now famous for their tunnel tents, and I bought an original Nallo 2 for considerably more than you paid the Terra Nova even back then. I never enjoyed it as much as the Keb though with its double entrance. When I retired I looked around for a quality tent with the same clever thinking that went into the Keb, and I found it in the Terra Nova Pioneer 2. I think this tent is often overlooked and, at the current price of £399, is an absolute bargain compared to say the Southern Cross or God forbid current Hilleberg prices. You chose a great tent. Congratulations.

Have the tent had it for over year it’s not bad at all use it a lot

Great video Nathan! Now stop teasing me 😆😬😬😬

Also, the footprint will be an extra barrier between you and the ground which you will be thankful for in winter.

Great tent, looks so much better first hand, I’m hoping to get the helm 1, only if the boss lets me 🤣 but I think I will need to sell my alpkit soloist 👍

Hello, I was wondering if on the none vestibule side of the tent does the inner stick to the outer when wet or in windy conditions ?

Great first look Nathan. I’ve got tent envy for sure. I wonder if the top cap would slot through the top zipper of the door to stop it flapping? Maybe you’d already have it open for ventilation, but worth a thought. ATB

Want!

What’s it like with condensation? I like the MSR tents because of the airflow..

Looks a great tent, how did you get the inside so taut, it looks saggy in other vids online

Would that tent handle high moutain gales?

Have tried one of the Dunston tents?

Do you think this is worth the extra money when compared to the helm 2 ?

Can you confirm total weight please

The pack size, basically 2kg and need to sleep in each others legs make this tent unusable for my bikepacking needs. I'll stick to the cheapo Naturehike Tagar 2 which has more space and packs smaller. When hike-a-biking in Scotland the single layer design doesn't matter as it's always wet anyway.

Luke would rip that tent to shreds.

The top hat thingy is CRAP 'iv got an allak the same idea , great when you don't REALY need a tent but when you do the rain drives into the top vents !

Looks like a Hilleberg copy

I know someone is going to be well jealous 🤣🤣🤣

Clipping the door back is the most stupid idea I've seen for years..The door now hangs half way across the entrance , fills with wind, and you have to get out of the tent to open or close it.
