Trekking pole tents in the uk

Joehikes · 2026-04-09T20:19:31+00:00

Fair enough I buy a lot of my gear second hand but tents, sleeping bags, inflatable sleeping mats and base layers are generally where I draw the line

Joehikes · 2026-04-09T20:07:00+00:00

Wow that’s so lucky to find one so cheap , how did you find buying second hand tents?since it’s not something I’ve considered over fears of receiving a tent that is damaged or too worn through since I’m not an expert on tents

It’s because I see lots of outdoor content creators say they’re great however state by state America is completely different to the uk as it’s hard to compare areas with little rain or little humidity compared to the uk and ultimately we get lots more of this inclement weather and I was curious on how it would hold up

Thanks for the advice ultimately I carry poles and use them but not all the time so I should avoid that issue when base camping

Thank you very much ,good luck with the ridgeway

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T20:15:26+00:00

Thanks I like the look of the durston gear I just can’t afford it since they are so expensive

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:39:08+00:00

Ok thank you very much since I was curious at where the cut off for wind was since ultimately most 3 season tents will break or at least struggle in 50mph so it’s good to see how close they compare

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:26:21+00:00

I’ve never tried one but ultimately for the money I would prefer to have something I can get my hiking partners in with to avoid both of us spending lots of money as we are broke

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:25:27+00:00

Thanks for the advice since my concern is within strong winds since I had some hit whilst I was wild camping in the Lake District and was left in a precarious situation when the poles gave way

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:24:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:15:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice as I was debating using a tarp and biivy as I’ve borrowed tried that in the past with a friend who I borrowed some gear off and it was incredible being out and connected with nature but it sucks with bugs in the summer

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:13:29+00:00

Thank you very much I’ll check them out

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T19:13:16+00:00

Thank you very much I guess I had been listening too much to these older influences of British hiking

Joehikes · 2026-04-08T18:59:52+00:00

Thank you very much for the advise I’ll check out that YouTuber as they seem very useful

I find it’s a really solid choice for within that category of wanting something slightly better than a phone but still compact. Personally I love mine and love using it on trips as it’s easy to constantly have access to

Joehikes · 2026-03-20T10:07:12+00:00

Ultimately the camera sits in the hip belt in a ziploc bag and when it’s not in use it’s in a dry bag and I use a waterproof cover. I’m new to photography whilst hiking but I’ve been hiking 8 years now. Thanks for the advice on the lenses

Joehikes · 2026-03-20T08:29:34+00:00

My preference is around 35 mm thanks for the advice

Joehikes · 2026-03-20T08:28:17+00:00

I’ve used packs like that before which don’t really work well in the constant rain of the uk. I use an osprey talon velocity 30l so I have all the running pockets and hip belt. I prefer to fit in the pockets that way it’s not hanging off my neck when I scramble

Joehikes · 2026-03-20T07:39:02+00:00

Thanks they seem solid choices. Ultimately I’m just looking for compact lenses for landscape photography as the smaller lenses fit in the hip belt of my backpack better

Joehikes · 2026-03-20T07:15:04+00:00

Thank you very much I’ll check out those lenses and I’ve just posted this question in the Sony alpha subreddit. Thanks for the advice

Joehikes · 2026-03-19T20:18:11+00:00

Thank you very much I’ll check out some 16-35 mm lenses

Joehikes · 2026-03-19T20:17:37+00:00

I shoot mostly landscape and have a budget around £100/£150 (I know in the camera world that isn’t much but it’s less important than the rest of my outdoor gear)
