Wow Tom good stuff. I'm OLD man from USA and will never camp wild or otherwise. BUT I really enjoy your vlogs and the subject. I live vicariously thru your vlogs. Thank you so much!!!

Great video. Such sensible and balanced perspectives without all the hype. Keep it going!

[poethenry]

Really good video, thanks Tom. You give solid, objective observations of the tents you test and always seem super-calm in extreme conditions! 😅

[BiznessWizard]

Once again a great video, Tom. Nice to see a tent that I really admire tested in this way. I know that Mr. Durston's Geometry teacher would be very proud of the tent design he has come up with. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to your testing tents under such conditions videos.

I love these wind tests ... thank you for filming them. 🙏

Hi Tom, still love watching your videos. YouTube is definitely getting harder, hang in there! 👍

Thanks Tom. I really liked you testing these two tents in those winds and showing what it is actually like by having lots of footage both inside and outside as the wind flapped the walls around. You made some good points too. I want to get my next tent purchase right and you’ve helped me get closer to that goal. Cheers Katrina from Down Under

Thanks for that unique test! I don’t often experience high wind, but now my curiosity is up about the Hilleberg

[MultiRichard]

Another quality vid and a test that few would consider making. Like you say, if the manufacturer says the tent performs well in storm like conditions, then they should prove it.

[dsmith]

Great vid Tom. Next time please compare the AKTO with a brick shelter, or maybe a cave! Love to hear your thoughts on that.

[markhayes]

Another brilliant video, thanks. Watched to the end BTW!

Appreciate all your content Tom. Fellow Hilleberg fan here.

[ArswieWaende]

Thank you very much for this comparison.

[RupertBuchbinder]

Thanks for your testing video and your personal thoughts

Great review Tom. Be interesting to see the comparisons between the xmid 1 and the 2 in those conditions. However, my Hilleberg tent is the the go too for harsher weather in exposed conditions. Keep up the good work. Atb

Thanks for another brilliant and informative upload Tom.

Wow! How much more silent the Akto was, that was eye-opening. A good night´s sleep, with comfort and confidence, that should not be underrated. I´ll continune to stick to Hilleberg.

[otf.outdoors]

Spot on Tom, a decent test, shows that the xmid could handle some pretty high winds, but I wouldn’t take mine out knowing it’s gonna be 30mph+, in fact I probably wouldn’t go out at all in any tent knowing it’s really strong wind, good to know if wind did get worse then it should be relatively ok, keep up the great content mate, atb Mick 👍

Thanks Tom for another brilliant presentation. 👏
