    Firstly, what a beautifully shot video and I loved the drone footage. I slept in an MSR Elixir 3 on my Mountain Leader Training course in Nant Peris and the wind bent the poles. I’ve slept on Dartmoor in my Hubba Hubba and I thought the top cross pole was going to snap. When I got home from my ML course I bought a BL Soulo too and my only regret is that I got a green one rather than the sand colour. It’s been to Snowdonia and the Cairngorms but not the lakes yet. I’ve taken it on DofE camps too just because I love sleeping in it! I had my windiest camp ever in the Cairngorms last December and the tent survived even though I thought it was going to get damaged. I had 2 hours sleep that night and water was blown through the cracks in the zips. It was so windy I didn’t dare climb or camp higher up. I’m sorry that you have to suffer using the MSR trail shot too. I need a new pump even though I’ve replaced the filter and looked after it.

      Hey Ben, I actually love my trail shot, although you’re not the first I’ve heard who dislikes it. Thanks for getting in touch, good to hear of your experience and glad you like the BL too. I’m back out in the lakes again at the end of may so watch this space for my next films.

    Drying out electronics... really interesting to know it acts as a desiccant but as a used pack is left alone it will absorb humidity from the air and eventually get saturated. I'd say crack a new one, the heat will help water and condensation evaporate faster and once its expired it will absorb the maximum humidity it potentially can.

      If anything, the thicker material of the black label should offer slightly more insulation against the cold but in all honesty it is probably negligible. Thanks for the question and for watching.
