Hello and welcome to my channel. My passion is outdoor adventures: backpacking, trekking, hiking, camping, bicycle touring and mountain sports. Many of my videos are filmed right on the trails.
Other special interests are Outdoor Cooking and Survival Skills.
Check out my website: Alpintiger.com
There I post the best photos and stories from the trails on "Photo Blog". I have a page about"Gear" and publish a discussion forum on "BLOG!", talking about outdoor related topics.

Wrongly pitched. The cross bar sits on top of the rest of the structure facing UP. The tent is not properly pitched.
I did this ride in 2021 and this last September with some buddies of mine. We stayed in many of the villages that you did. It was such a peaceful ride. The people were so friendly and the food and beer was amazing. I'm sure I'll do this ride many more times. God bless from Northern California USA
Sorry but the microphone wind was too bad to continue watching sorry.
At 6:05, one could have put the rucksack on its side along the lower edge of the tent, thus relieving the mesh from the stress, and repairing the tent better from wind and dust entering from below the rain fly. Thanks for the genuine review, I am fed up with hidden advertisements.
great comparison.. you do get around.. Hawaii then Iceland.. you've demonstrated that it's not suitable in strong windy environments .. something I found out myself in mine .. it's ok in warmer environments.. my only gripe is the mess is too fine .. which is common to other tents .. I mean it's too fine to allow a breeze in humid conditions .. as you said the mesh blocks the wind to a large extent as shown by your hair flying around with the inner tent open compared to closed I'm on the hunt for a light weight 4 season tent.. Preferably free standing for those times one's in sandy soils I look forward to your next trip
Thanks for that review. I'm thinking of taking my new MSR Hubba Hubba NX2 to iceland for the same trail. It's held up under some pretty strong winds already! Just wonder why you didn't guy down the tent
To dry the outer fly, I prefer to take it of completely, hold it above the head and walk/stand with it 2-3 Minutes in the wind.
In the UK I'd never consider buying a tent that can't be easily pitched fly first, and nor should you unless of course you like being wet.
Fantástico 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I much rather have S’more’s but I loved the video
Came here from the fish Klaus on American Dad 😂. He wanted them to cook it while camping I had to find out what it was
My grandmother used to make them for me when I was a kid. It's my comfort food, childhood memories and everything 😊😊
Nice trip. Thanks
Nice trip, thanks for sharing
thank you so much to share. I will do the same ride in September 2023.
do you use the same wool blanket in say... greenland? ;)
I enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing. I plan to do this route from Frankfurt Airport to Mainz and on ward toward Basel and then connect to Donaueschingen to Vieanna, via Eurovelo 6. Do you mind sharing this route? i have a route from Kamoot but i dont know how good the path is until i ride on it. But your route detour seemed to avoid alot of soft dirt road, which i would prefer. I plan to do this in July of 2023.
i always confuse with traffic system in Austria... i thought we can not ride bicycle on the motr road...that is why i am very reluctant to ride on the motor road.. but from your video in the beginning ... i saw u r riding on the country road.... normally.. i just the bike road cross the forest. Thanks for the new information ... and thanks for sharing ur lovely video
Thanks so much for sharing.
The middle curved pole needs to go above the main cross pole. I’m not sure, but it looked like you might have put it under the main cross pole. Incorrect position of that short middle pole will affect the structural integrity of the tent.
I was not aware that it had to go above the main pole and that it might affect the structural integrety. Thank you for the remark 👍👍
@@Alpintiger it’s a very common mistake. Almost everyone does it the wrong way until they are shown or told. 🤙
@@pimpshark Meanwhile I got the MSR Elixir and I specifically checked the set-up manual, whether the red pole should go over the silver pole on the crossing point, but there is no such instruction. Maybe it doesn't matter with the Elixir. I would have to check the set-up manual of the Hubba NX, but I don't remember if the position of the middle pole was specified 🤔Nevetheless, I see the sense as why to place it above the main cross pole.
@@Alpintiger Watch this video from around 1 minute onwards. He contacted MSR and they told him the correct way to pitch the tent for maximum structural integrity. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kYB_p85mqMrKldI.html
Great review. I used my Tarptent in Iceland and u are right. Wind is the toughest thing in Iceland. Tarptent went really weel, but there were a few rough nights.
Great video. I have the LF version.
Wow, it is quite a while ago, since I filmed that video. It is huge, when people still keep commenting on them, like you. Thank you. When I watch these older videos, it is almost like stories from a different universe. So many things have happened since - unexpected, terrifying, exciting. Life happens. Thank you for reminding me of the old days :D
Thanks for making this review. I have been looking at many tent reviews and so far yours has given me a mucht better idea of what to expect from this tent on the trail. So great job!
With me I don't have heat in my bedroom especially during the winter time I use two heavy wool blankets that is 90% wool a very light one up underneath I may use another one if the temperature drops below 30° f I still stay warm even if it goes down to 15° f
You are brave riding with those cars. The video is EXCELLENT!
Best authentic review! Thank you so much!
Best review yet 😁 nice one.
Ps. do apologise thank you for the vid 😀👍
Hi there sorry for the long distance comment I was just wondering when the wind was blowing was the outer tent touching the inner tent just asking because I'm seriously just about to buy one now atb can you get back to me on this
Honestly, I don't remember if the outer tent was touching the inner tent in that particulare scene, when the wind blew against it. Two things I dare say: 1) at normal set-up, the outer and inner wall do not touch, 2) I asume, it is a question of how "strong" a wind is blowing, before any tent will collapse. I don't remember having any issues with this tent in the kind of weathers shown in this video. I hope this information helps you.
@@Alpintiger That's brilliant thanks for your reply and your vid atb😀👍
Thanks for making this video. I am just learning about some of these longer bike routes across Europe and this is fantastic to see.
Qué linda carpa y muy fácil de armar yo quiero una
Could not hear
So funny, love how the wind suddenly raged when you said it wasn't too windy at 5:15 haha
Please turn up the volume. Very difficult to hear you.
Very enjoyable video, thanks very much 👍
Really enjoyed your tour down the Donau..Question, what model Garmin were you using and your thoughts on how well it worked, also noticed the paper maps, which one did you use please.. Many Thanks and hope to be able to do the same trip in the near future
Thanks for reminding me of this video clip. I haven't watched it in a while. I was watching it again, to see which paper maps you meant. It was such a beautifull trip. You mean the paper map, which can be seen in the picnic scene with the cat, right? It is "Donau-Radweg 2, Passau - Wien". It is from Publicpress (www.publicpress.de). The map is waterproof and leporello fold. I still love maps, despite also using gps. My Garmin is the Edge Touring. I bought it 2016. I still use it on all my bicycle tours. I am surprised, that, after 6 years, the in-built battery still lasts an average day tour. Only on one of the tours I did last year I had to give the Garmin a little extra charge from a power bank. Most of the recorded gps tracks I am posting on Komoot: www.komoot.de/tour/258891209?ref=wtd
@@Alpintiger Thanks for the reply... I was planning this trip about 2 years ago but due to the current situation could not get out of Australia, I have already completed the French Eurovelo 6 stages and wanted to come back and get to Budapest but I will have to wait and see how things pan out..
@@56thommo For the same reason I haven't been doing any longer trips. I did many day trips instead and it was kind off cool too. Things will change eventually.
Wrong setup of the tent !!!!! The short "top cross pole" should be on top, needs to be flipped around to be the highest pole. that greatly increases stability.
Hi, one needs to have a fire if they are going to use a wool blanket to keep warm. You also need to make a diamond out of the blanket and then roll and tuck it around your body which creates extra layers, keeping you nice and toasty. Sleeping bags were made for when you don't have a fire or can't have a fire because you are above the tree line and there is no wood. Sleeping bags are good for Backpacker's and wool blankets are good for Bushcrafters.
Excellent preview. I am considering this tent so it was good to see you it in testing conditions,and good to see you inside as it shows the room inside and inside the vestibule. I live in the uk so how it handles tougher weather is important. Also I prefer a tent with more ventilation. Its obviously a few years since you did this review, so how did it perform overall in that time,and do you still use it ? Thanks, Michael
As it is an expensive piece of gear I handled it carefully and it held up well. Yes, the video is a few years old. I haven't been camping the last two years. Actually, I haven't been traveling much those last two years 😄. With a pandemic going on and such things. I'd love to do some bicycle touring next summer and do camping again. Hopefully then my little tent will see some daylight, rather than being shut away in the gear box.
Great video! Very helpful and informative!!!! Thanks for doing it!!!
you have very good Englishi
I like scallops.
Can i marry you :)- you are in bushcraft like me :)
😄 I loved shooting this video. Winter in the Alps. Such a good time.
Zu Island. Ich habe mir die Kleidung angesehen, die Du im Zelt an hattest. Ich hatte bei meiner Radreise in Island das Vergnügen einen Tag und Nacht bei 0 Grad in einem robusteren Zelt (Exped Venus II Extreme) verbringen zu müssen. Ich musste nicht mit voller Montur in den Schlafsack. Kann es sein, dass man in kalten Regionen, das gesparte Zeltgewicht in Klamotten mitnehmen muss?
Das Zelt spielt keine Rolle. Der richtige Schlafsack und die Isomatte machen bei Kälte den ganz großen Unterschied. Wir haben schon Tarps zum Wintercamping benutzt oder gleich ganz in der selbstgebauten Schneehöhle übernachtet (kannst Dir mein Video "Building a Quinzee" anschauen kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3yjw4-vqdbec6Q.html ). Mit einem fetten Winterschlafsack kein Problem. Für den Island Trip hatte ich mich bewusst für den leichteren und kleineren Schlafsack entschieden und eingeplant, ein paar Klamotten mehr anzuziehen, falls es kälter wird. So bin ich flexibler. Einen Schlafsack kann ich nur als Schlafsack benutzten - eine leichte Daunenjacke kann ich auch tagsüber mal anziehen, oder eben Nachts im Schlafsack, um ein paar extra Wärmegrad zu gewinnen. Das war in Island nur in einer einzigen Nacht notwendig geworden.
Mein Leben. Ich versuche mein Leben so gut wie normal zu gestalten. Bin schon seit über 10 Jahren nach einem schweren Schlaganfall auf rechter Seite gelähmt. Kann seit dem weder sprechen noch schreiben. Mein Leben zuvor habe ich sehr künstlerisch gestaltet. Holzschnittartig, Maler und Kunsttischler, das sind meine Tätigkeiten vor der Krankheit. Mit meinen Videos möchte ich anderen Leuten in gleicher Situation Mut verleiten zum weiter das Leben leben.
Very informative review. Thank you for your review!
Thank you for keeping it real. I love the video will be subscribing for sure
I love that video, because of the great memories of Iceland and Hawaii. I am overwhelmed that one of my videos got over 100.000 clicks. That's huge for a small channel 😄
Hey, thanks! Great review. Pulling the outer up half way is a nice feature, will definitely try that out with mine! :)
Great video! Thanks 🇨🇦
Danke für dein Video! Gruß aus Kanada :)
More videos please.
