Nortent 2024 Vern 2 initial look

Місяць тому

My first UKposts video and the first introduction to the Nortent new Vern 2. My next video will be the first adventure in early spring weather conditions.
I purchased this tent and the Vern 1 with my own money, along with every bit of kit I own.
Please check out these other channels and give them a watch.

Excellent job. Thorough and informative. Really like your tent.

@BrokenVikingOutdoors 19 днів тому

Thank you for watching. Can't wait for next winter to get the woodstove in it. 👍

@thewatchman6074 Місяць тому

Great to see a tent being reviewed by a big guy, where you can get an honest take on the usable room available. I've had the same problems over the years.

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Agreed. And seems like most tent reviews are being made from guys shorter than 6ft. Thanks for watching.

Absolutely bomber base camp tent. Love it. Thanks for measuring the inside as its actually wider than the 130 cm me and my wife like so all great ! Cheers. Andrew

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Thanks Andrew, and while I didn't take a physical measurement of the inside headroom, it was plenty for anyone who is tall. Within reason of course. The upcoming video will be the forest camp.

@Pony1234Boy Місяць тому

I was so happy to see this video! I purchased this exact same tent from them 4 months ago and it's finally getting shipped as of yesterday (I live in the states). This was very helpful and thank you!

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Thanks for the kind words. Did you get the footprint too. If you did, I found the easiest way to put it on, is to simply invert the tent on something soft and then clip it in while inverted. Shiny side up like the bathtub floor. Thanks for watching.

@HuFilms Місяць тому

Thanks for the vid. A lot of room here dedicated to the vestibules, so if you're not into cooking, it seems like a waste. Lovely looking tent and for car-camping I think I might go for it. I'm 6'2" also, so at least I know I'll fit!

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

For car camping I'd go with a Gazelle T4 Overland Edition. You can stand up in a Gazelle. And enough room for two full size cots, and more.

My buddy has a Nortent but it's a dome style hot-tent for maybe 6 people. I loved his tent. It seemed like a really nice quality product but I cannot afford the brand. I use a twin peak hot-tent which is a bit shabby but gets the job done. If I had the money to splurge on a new/better hot-tent I'd definitely be looking at the nortent brand.

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Another brand Pomoly makes hot tents, too. I have their Titanium mini 2.0. Stove. Good quality 👌🏼 Thanks for watching.

@rufusduck71 Місяць тому

That looks really well thought out .i suppose split between 2 adults 2.5 kg each isnt so bad especially for such .quality and space .proper mountain / expedition tent. Good video well done .

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Definitely, splitting it up between two people makes sense. For me, I don't mind the weight, but in a 60L pack, that's a lot of room that gets eaten up. Great series of tents nonetheless. Well thought out and bombproof.Thanks for watching.

@rasoulsyyedrrzazadeh8815 Місяць тому

Hİ i see there are so much similarity between hilleberg and nortent for example way of attach pols and material used for hooks and other . are there any pantent problem here or all are normal design in both brand ??

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Hi, as I've never owned any Hillebergs fine products, I cannot comment on their designs etc. What attracted me to the Nortent company was their willingness to listen feedback from customers. I was looking at Hillebergs but the Nortents are better suited to my needs and requirements.

@davidmorland4370 24 дні тому

I am 6'6 tall - do you think I will squeeze in - perhaps on an angle? Also - do you know how this compares to the Allak 2 in terms of 1) quality and 2) robustness?

@BrokenVikingOutdoors 24 дні тому

On an angle yes. I can't really comment on the comparison between the Hilleberg Allak as I've never owned Any Hillebergs. But as a Nortent Vern 1 and 2 owner. I can't fault the quality of both tents. Thanks for watching.

@madcat1007 24 дні тому

Nice video, thanks. But where is the groundsheet? Isn't that included?

@BrokenVikingOutdoors 24 дні тому

The bathtub style floor is attached to the tent inner, and you have the option to purchase the extra footprint which is shown in the video. The footprint covers the area of the bathtub floor and both vestibules. Thanks for watching.

Yes, it is free standing, just like the New Vern 1. Thanks for watching.

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Some people whinge about weights down to the point of ridiculous. Personally I've had to carry a lot of weight in my career, so anything under 100lbs is a bonus.

Nice review. Why was the the Vern 2 purchased over Vern 2 PC?

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

Nortent only make the New Vern 1 in Polycotton.

@citizenwolf8720 Місяць тому

Looks like a great tent, but heck, it's heavy.

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

There is always a compromise. I'll take the weight knowing I have a bombproof shelter that will keep me safe in all weather conditions. Thanks for watching.

@citizenwolf8720 Місяць тому

I agree with you. I may even get this tent at some point. I'm just a smidge surprised at the weight. I guess I just want a fantasy tent that's as strong as this one, and light too .....which doesn't exist. @@BrokenVikingOutdoors

@BrokenVikingOutdoors Місяць тому

It's always a good idea to distribute the weight between the person sharing the tent, so that in itself halves the weight. @citizenwolf8720

@Sneaky-Sneaky 12 днів тому

These Vern tents seem nice but for that weight….there are much tougher tents than these. I.e North Face VE-25, Ferrino snowbound or mountain Hardware Trango etc.

@BrokenVikingOutdoors 12 днів тому

That's the nice thing with tents, lots of choices for everyone's needs. The weight doesn't bother me to be honest. Currently out in it right now.

@@BrokenVikingOutdoors All right!! Hope you’re having an excellent time out there! I’d like to be doing the same!! I’m more than willing to carry extra weight too if needed. Cheers!
