Mountain Camp Gone Wrong ⚠️ Tent Wrecked by Wind.. MSR Hubba NX | Bad Decisions Made Wild Camping

With a beautiful weather forecast I headed out to the mountains, and it went all kinds of wrong. A combination of unexpected issues and my own mistakes, bad judgement & stubbornness resulted in a difficult weekend and ended with my tent being wrecked by the wind

I don’t think the pole snapping is the fault of the tent – I don’t know what those gusts were at sunset, but they were the strongest I’ve ever felt, and I’ve camped in gale force winds before in this same tent with no issues at all (but I can see why people buy Hille’s!) ⛺

As I‘ve learned from this weekend, local weather forecasting is not an accurate representation of what you can expect in the mountains. Use this instead: Mountain Weather Information Service https://mwis.org.uk

Check out @Ash Outdoors UK ’s video; https://youtu.be/gWgUlELRHuI filmed the same night, about 20km from me on Moel Siabod. A nice chill camp… crazy the difference haha

My Hubba NX is currently in repair, but I’ll see you soon for a couple of beautiful, frosty camps in the woods 😍❄ and some other local stuff. Thank you so much for watching! Much love, Claire 🌿🐻
