Hilleberg Soulo Bad Weather Test! 60km/h Winds and Heavy Rain in the Mountains
Gear LIst - Bad Weather Mountain Camp
My Thoughts
I took my Hilleberg Soulo into the mountains to give it a good test in wind and rain and the weather gods obliged with 60km/h winds and hours of heavy rain
The tent didn't budge at all and felt like a perfect lil safe haven - exactly what I wanted for winter in the mountains :)
It feels incredibly well made and sturdy, although I do struggle with the weight of it on top of my winter sleep system, so I won't be able to walk too far with this tent. I've included some specs in the video. Here's a few things that I like and dislike about this tent so far..

It feels incredibly well made and sturdy, although I do struggle with the weight of it on top of my winter sleep system, so I won't be able to walk too far with this tent. I've included some specs in the video. Here's a few things that I like and dislike about this tent so far..
Likes:
- The quality. This is an extremely well made and solid tent
- The details. Adjustable ventilation panels, various ways to set the doors, zip flaps, and an outer that reaches the ground make this tent feel like it was made for mountain camping
- How much heat it holds in - in my experience it is 4-5°C warmer inside the tent than outside, and that's with a ventilation panel open too. This makes a huge difference in cold conditions
- It's freestanding and pitches inner and outer together - perfect for easy pitching in bad weather
- I'm able to cook in the vestibule in the rain, without water getting inside the inner or wetting my sleep system
- Most importantly, I feel safe in it, so far
Dislikes:
- Headroom - my head touches the top of the inner if I sit up straight
- The price! This is an insanely expensive tent. For me with the amount of camping I do in these kind of conditions it's a worthwhile investment. But for nice-weather camping in the woods, probably best to save your money
- The weight; 2.4kg packed weight (without footprint) is heavy for me for a backpacking tent. But unavoidable for a tent of such high quality and strong materials
- The condensation - this is also unavoidable due to the tent being constructed so that the outer goes all the way to the ground for insulation
My Winter Camping & Hiking Gear | 12kg Base Weight ..not light or cheap, but keeps me safe in cold

My Thoughts..
I tried a bivi bag camp in the rain to see how effective it would be in an emergency situation.
This was over 12 hours in wet, rainy conditions in a bivi bag with no other shelter and temps between 5°C and 7.5°C. I filmed this close to my car in case it went wrong (never clever to intentionally risk hypothermia)
I used the Alpkit Kloke lightweight bivi bag. It was not as entirely waterproof as I would have hoped, but I did still stay warm and dry, so would have survived unscathed and well in an actual emergency situation. The features of this bag (big hood, zip-up entrance hole) meant that no rain water came in the entrance hole - a big plus!
My sleeping bag - Leviathan OEX 900 - got wet on the outside. Not enough water came through the bivi bag to penetrate through my sleeping bag, so I was unaware that any water had come in until I was packing away the next morning. Mr Leviathan seems to have recovered from the ordeal haha! I used him for a camp in the woods a couple days ago and was lovely and warm, although it is mild at the moment. Hopefully no damage done 🤞
I had been putting this camp off for months as I thought it was going to be horrendous and uncomfortable but actually, I had a magical time. Now and again the clouds would clear and I would be sat, propped up against the roots of the fallen tree all warm and cosy, under the most beautiful sky full of stars. Then when the rain came, I'd duck back into the bivi bag, zip myself in and hide out. It was a wonderful experience, although not something I would normally chose to do in rain as the risk of the sleeping bag getting wrecked is quite high, and doing this over multiple wet nights would not be a good idea at all.

My Thoughts ..
Ahh, the Lanshan 2 in all its glory. A lot went wrong here. Despite being a bit of a pain, I still love this tent. But I’ll be saving it for summer haha!
Here's a summary of how it went ..
Night 1
I had a bit of a mare trying to get the tent up in some fairly strong wind but got there in the end. The pegs would ping out of the ground when tension was applied to the tent, so I anchored them in really securely with 3 pegs in each corner, which worked really well. However, not long after pitching the tent, the plastic door clip, which attaches the door to the guy, snapped clean off in a gust of wind. Thankfully I had carabiners with me, so I managed to fix it up with those. I also added carabiners to the door on the other side as a precaution.
The tent held up fine to the wind for the remainder of the night, but I woke in heavy rain to find that water had gotten inside, although I'm not sure where it was coming from. My things stayed dry thanks to my bivi bag and dry bags and I cleaned up the water with a microfiber towel. I hadn't seam sealed any part of this tent as the seams are taped, but I'm thinking I might need to seal it.. possibly the guy line attachment points on the sides are letting water in although I don't know for sure.
On packing the tent away, I found that one of my trekking poles had bent under the tension of the tent and would no longer unscrew or collapse down. I used it for the remainder of the trip, extended far too high for me for hiking, and had to bin it when I got home.
Night 2
I pitched the tent in heavy rain, not taking enough care to keep the inner covered with the fly, so the tent inner filled with water! I was able to soak it all up with my towel but soon realised that I'd pitched too close to the lake and was worried about the water level rising in the night. So, I unpegged the tent and dragged it further up away from the lake and then had a real battle to get it erected again in the gale force winds. This time seriously tested my patience. It was a constant struggle of the wind trying to blow the tent away, pegs flying out and poles falling down.
Just as I'd got the tent up, the peg-loop webbing on one of the corners broke - probably due to me using multiple pegs instead of just one (but using just one peg doesn't work, so what can you do). I made a new loop with an overhand knot, which held fine. During the night the poles started sliding and falling down, and this continued all through the night and into the next morning.
In conclusion ..
This tent is not designed for bad weather, and I deffo wouldn't recommend using it in cold weather, as there is just so much that can go wrong with it. However, being so light and using trekking poles, it is a tent that is popular among long-distance hikers, and on a long-distance trek, you are likely to encounter this kind of weather at some point. So, it's wise to take some precautions so that you can stay dry warm and safe in the tent if you do encounter bad weather;

However, being so light and using trekking poles, it is a tent that is popular among long-distance hikers, and on a long-distance trek, you are likely to encounter this kind of weather at some point. So, it's wise to take some precautions so that you can stay dry warm and safe in the tent if you do encounter bad weather;
- Swap the plastic door hooks for metal ones before your trip. These can be hard to find, I get mine from Outdoor Gear Essentials (ZPacks Double-Hook Apparatus)
- Carry carabiners, in case something breaks
- Add some grip to your trekking poles. I applied some glue to the tops of my trekking poles before this trip, to make them more 'grippy'. This worked for the first night, but the friction had rubbed them smooth again by the second night. I might add a small piece of non-slip rubber to the top of my trekking poles in future
- Bring lots of extra pegs, or some super-hardcore pegs or ground anchors that won't easily be pulled out of the ground
- Bring something to mop up water - I like to bring a microfiber towel
- Use a bivi bag over your sleep system - if the tent fails, leaks or blows away, you'll survive in a bivi bag.
- Keep your clothes and electronics in dry bags
- Practice using a tension tent in bad weather at home before doing it for real out in the wild
- Consider seam-sealing the tent and sealing the guy line attachment points
- Be aware that very lightweight trekking poles like mine may bend under the tension

My Thoughts...
What can I say.. I love this tent!! All in, it's 350g heavier than my Pro1, and for this lil bit of extra weight, I get loads more room, more headroom, 2 doors, 2 huge vestibules, and 2 layers, so that I'm not soaking myself on the condensation from the outer. It also has lovely taped seams (no seam-sealing, hurray!) and while I've only had it out in a light shower I don't foresee any random puddle issues.. but I won't speak too soon 😄
I love that I get to use my trekking poles, as traditional tent poles make me a bit nervous since I had them snap in the wind earlier in the year on Chnict. Having said that, I don't know how this would perform in high wind.. I have a feeling the poles might get knocked down, but for me that is preferable to poles snapping.
The bathtub floor is thin, just as with the Pro 1, so I use a footprint with it, just as I do with the pro 1.
I found this tent much easier to set up properly than the Pro 1 - the Pro 1 tended to sag and it was difficult to get the corners of the bathtub floor to stand upright, but the 2 was fine
This tent came with me on my recent Rhinogs trip (video of this trip is next on the editing pile) and it was just perfect 👌
WEIGHTS (Tents only, excluding footprints, pegs, stuff sack etc)
Lanshan 2 : 1060g
Lanshan Pro 1 : 690g
