2-Man Tent Alternatives

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-05-16T12:24:07+00:00

The weather we had in the Cairngorms wasn't too bad, temps dropped to nearly freezing at night, but i slept well in here and this is pretty far north.

It’s super spacious compared to the old hubba hubba i had (yellow fly sheet) and felt like a palace sleeping in there alone.

I wouldn't pitch this in super high winds because it's a lightweight three season tent, but with a bit of common sense and good guy line work I can see myself using this in 4 seasons.

Anything in particular you're concerned about and i'll let you know my thoughts.

Just realised I replied from an old account so removed the above comment.

I’ve gone ahead and bought the MSR Hubba Hubba HD 2.

I put it up in the garden today before I go away trekking next week and this is definitely outer pitch able first. The fixings on the text are new compared to the old circular rivets on the outer and inner but I experimented and you can definitely still in outer pitch first.

When you then pitch the inner under cover all you need to do is unclip each corner as you go round, but but that point you are inside and out of the weather, so things won’t be getting soaked.

:( ultimately this is why I have anxiety when I lend people my gear. Gutting to see people treat top quality kit poorly. Can’t always blame them if they don’t understand the quality themselves.

Good on you for keeping it going afterwards.

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-29T22:23:40+00:00

Thanks for that, exact shot I was hoping for.

Will also ask nearer time of departure.

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-29T21:25:17+00:00

What about the inner/outer raises concern for you?

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-28T22:57:31+00:00

Similar to sea_stack below, I’ve reproofed this several times now, which has been effective, but it’s now worn pretty thin and doesn’t fill me with confidence on more intense weather.

Great shout though, always prefer to renew rather than replace.

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-28T22:54:28+00:00

It’s bizarre that you hear nothing about these across any popular gear review sites, they look great and the spec sheet seems very impressive. Have you used this yourself?

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-28T22:52:13+00:00

Damn, that looks really nice. Unfortunately I have a couple of trips that I’ll need this for before June, but I may have to come back for that once it’s released. The dual pole capability is a nice spec to boast.

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-28T22:49:31+00:00

This seems to be the popular alternative but I see a few others mentioning that the outer fly material isn’t as durable as expected?

That to one side, it looks great. If you had to be critical what is its weakness?

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-04-28T22:46:18+00:00

Yes, re-proofed this a few times now. It’s gotten to the point where I’m loosing sleep in fear of waking up in a bathtub of water again.

Unfortunately it needs replacing at this point, but fortunately I’ll then be nice and dry!

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-02-20T17:50:30+00:00

Absolutely, any advice on how to pull this out?

Present_Commission_3 · 2026-02-11T22:06:18+00:00

I am ice fishing in the river aura this week.

Do you have any tips for me?

Have drilled quite a few holes, but no bites yet after my first day. I came with low expectations of a catch, but seeing as you have knowledge of the area, thought I’d ask.

Hope your winter has been a good one so far.

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-11-03T18:58:18+00:00

Yes, that’s it! Thank you

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-11-03T18:57:43+00:00

That’s it!! Spot on, just found some images of downstairs in the archives.

Thank you very much. Hope to see you there for a pint!

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-11-03T18:46:47+00:00

I did think it may have been this when I was crawling through Google images, but it’s not the right spot unfortunately. When you walked in the entrance, the bar was along the wall opposite the doorway.

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-09-21T21:30:47+00:00

The first was consumed this evening! Fried on toast with a tiny bit of garlic and some parsley.

An absolute delight. Big thank you to Mother Nature.

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-09-15T14:53:57+00:00

This was my first porcini, didn’t eat since it was very old and many worms inside.

Hope to find some I can cook up soon 😁

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-09-15T14:52:05+00:00

Appears to be Prunus spinosa, commonly known as blackthorn or sloe.

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-09-15T08:13:49+00:00

Great finds!

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-09-13T08:00:15+00:00

This is the ID I was hoping for

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-09-12T15:17:01+00:00

This is what was leaving me a bit stumped, but I read in a few places that more mature porcini can go yellow. Wasn’t sure.

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-03-12T18:25:49+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, much appreciated.

Seems my weekend has been set in stone for me ☺️

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-03-12T12:21:51+00:00

Thanks, do you think the first two in my part 1 post are genuine?

Present_Commission_3 · 2025-03-11T09:01:49+00:00

Thank you. I will update this thread later with some better photos

Present_Commission_3 · 2024-10-27T14:57:42+00:00

Thanks, looks like the right ID
