I do like it. I've got to admit that it's a total luxury. Function wise I could have got away with something like a Vango Banshee 200 or Coleman Cobra 2 for less than half the price which I bet would serve me just as well and had similar specs. I do love the look of it though and it does meet my needs. The only red flag I had at the moment is that spare parts cost a fortune and customer services were a bit rude when I emailed, which after a purchase annoyed me. Also there's some DIY you have to do to make it right out of the box involving Loctite and replacing pegs. If you're interested in one, there's a great review online I can dig up the review of but I might do a separate one when I'm out in it soon.

Hey my friend. It is good to see you!

And brilliant to hear from you too! How are you!? I've got a new camera and it's making filming a doddle so I think that I'll be uploading loads more from now on. I actually did my first 'solo wildcamp' last night and just arrived back home now. I did film but it was such a rush that I struggled to get any decent content.

It was! I love stuff like that. A really cheap way to have a good night out. I'd had a few whiskeys before bed there which I didn't film 😄

Glad to see you out and about in the Starlight 2. Looks almost the perfect size for you too. Happy camping! ATB Andy

It is a perfect size for me. I went on my first solo wildcamp this weekend and used it for that (footage is terrible sadly so I don't think I'll upload) and it was raining so much. I wanted to bring all my gear in the tent and it made me realise just how much I need the space in there for my bag and gear, so I'm so glad I got this instead of the Snugpak Ionosphere which I was considering. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best. Andy

Hi there bud haven't seen any vids of this tent before its defo not a 2 man is it lol looked like a good one

I think that to share it you'd have to have 2 smaller men who are in sleeping bags pushed against each other. The dimensions inside the sleeping area are something like 1m wide at the narrowest and 1.15m at the widest point. It's perfect for me though with my gear around my legs and in the entryway while sleeping. I should be out in it tomorrow night. Need to prep my camera gear actually! Glad I reminded myself.

Man I have been looking for your chanel for years. I didn’t realise you changed your name. What a fun surprise
@sawdustandsurvival2 жыл бұрын
Ah man that's awesome! Thanks so much for saying that. I do recall your name from the old days. I'd changed it to Sawdust and Survival when I intended to incorporate a new love of woodwork into my channel, but I'm leaning back to good old fashioned prepping and wild-camping again now. Maybe I'll try to combine the two with hand-tools in the woods or something. Thanks very much for watching. I hope you enjoy the video. I acutally intend to do my first solo overnight wildcamp on Friday, so if I manage to get out there, I'll definitely record some of it. Maybe even do a little live stream while I'm out there!

That sounds awesome and it sounds like your skills way surpass anything I've ever tried! I'm a complete hobbyist. I totally appreciate your time viewing though and hopefully you just enjoy coming along on my days out. If you do decide to set up a channel, I fully reccomend getting a GoPro10. Makes filming a dream with its stabilisation and simplicity.

@sawdustandsurvival2 жыл бұрын
The 8 is supposed to be great too! Apparently the stabilisation got really good at the 8 and beyond so it sounds like you're all set. The 9 and 10 have front screens but that's not essential, usually it's so far away you can't see it anyway.
