    Fantastic documentary. Indeed unusual footage and way of reviewing it in very realistic conditions and pointing out interesting details. film artwork combined with the valuable information and authentic experience is something what I rarely see in outdoor equipment reviews in general In that windy rainy place where the tent was finally ripped I was thinking why did you choose spot at the middle of the flat open field instead using something in Your surroundings as the natural protection from strong wind at least from on side, but it's not bad that we actually seen the tent being exposed to such harsh conditions at the end of the day... btw. it was basically invisible how is the tent repaired when you camped at the second place there is no visible trace of previous damage or repair works I'm considering to take The Two model and using it in combination with larger lightweight tarp as additional protection, at least in conditions as the strong rain or even snowy winter day.

    The best review of a tent I've ever seen on youtube. Loved the shots from the inside, I have never seen it done so well. Amazing. I can just imagine how much work the filming of this took, and then the actual testing…thank you for the hard work! Now I know exactly what to expect and I'm thinking of ordering this tent for my summer hiking in Sweden below the tree line. For the harsher weather, I'm keeping my modded 1,3 kg Alpkit Ordos 2. It is a total pain to setup but has held up amazingly well during horrible wind and rain.

    This is the best video/review of this tent I have seen so far! Very detailed and objective regarding its pros and cons. Judging from your review if you aren't going to subject the tent to very harsh weather conditions and are fine with a few compromises (which is most of us) to trade for or a very light weight and easy to set up shelter makes this tent something to strongly consider. Well done!

I didn't realise the tabs on the side of the tent were additional tie-outs, plus I was trying to save weight by not staking out the bathtub bottom so I'm definitely going tie on some elastic. Thank you for showing me how to use my tent! Great review, amazing delivery!

    Fantastic videography and review. I think this tent has it's place and for me it's dry summer trips. During windy conditions the tent allows quite a bit of breeze through, sags a bit during rain and can have some condensation. But for the weight it's really a fantastic shelter.

My feet were up against the wall of the tent and it's a pita to set up after a long day especially on hard ground to set all the stakes. The big draw was the weight but I don't think it's worth it.

    I put my wet kit in a dry bag (turned inside out to keep the inside dry and clean) and put the bag inside my sleeping bag. Clothing doesn’t freeze and although it sucks putting on wet kit at least it’s warm and wet, much better than freezing wet kit.

    Thank you for such a great video! I am thinking of getting this tent for hiking in the Rocky Mountains of the US, where it's usually dry. I knew it wasn't great in wind but it's nice to see just how much is too much. Currently I use the Big Agnes Fly Creek 1. Even though it's double-walled, it sags so much when wet that I get the condensation from the fly on me anyway. And when I take the fly off, water sprinkles inside the tent. I thought: if I'm getting wet anyway, why not just get a single-wall tent? Either way, I get a lot more condensation when camped on grass (rather than pine needles) so I have tried to stop doing that. Amazed at all the flat ground where you are... almost nothing is flat here!

    ​@@hanskirk-hiking9697 Would be so interesting how similar ultralight 1 person tents like the SMD Lunar Solo, Tarptent ProTrail, X-Mid 1, and the cheap Lanshan 1 Pro deal with condensation and high winds. All of these are single wall and just a little bit heavier. Would any of these fare off better with condensation/wind in order to be worth the extra 1-200 grams? In any case, I have been obsessively watching these and your review is the best one I've seen - great humour and rational considerations that matter when dealing with a tent.

    Another first class video Hans and perhaps the best I have seen of this tent in real world conditions! I was considering this tent but will stay with my BA Tiger Wall UL2 as my one person tent (1.1kg all in), mainly due to the fact it is extremely roomy, handles wind exceptionally well and has has little condensation issues (which are also the reasons you like the Copper Spur so much I guess?). I have also considered the Durston Gear X-Mid 1p but will have to wait until they release the DCF version next year. BTW - I tested the Tiger Wall in some really windy conditions with storm(ish) gusts along the coast - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZGWuqdyCoNSzqaw.html
