First update is the tent.
My Updated Tent – Vango F10 Nexus
After a few blustery nights in the hills with a flappy tent and some questionable sleep, I knew it was time for an upgrade. Enter the Vango F10 Nexus 200 – my new wild camping home from home.
This tent has already been out on a few adventures, and I can confidently say it’s made a noticeable difference to both comfort and confidence. The low-profile design is built to handle wind far better than my previous setup, and it’s definitely proved itself already. It feels secure, stable and quiet even in gusty conditions — no more noisy flysheet flapping keeping me (and the dogs) awake.
The Nexus is classed as a 2-person tent, but for me and the boys, it’s a perfect size. It has just enough room for me to sleep comfortably with space for the dogs to curl up, plus space at the sides for our gear. The porch area is small but usable, and it gives just enough room to boil up a brew while staying sheltered.
Set-up is quick and intuitive, which is always welcome after a long day hiking or when the rain is rolling in. The inner goes up with the outer, which is a huge bonus in bad weather, keeping everything dry inside.
One of my favourite parts? The overall pack size and weight. It’s light enough to carry without compromising on durability – something that matters when you're carrying it for miles across bog and boulder.
This tent has already helped rebuild my confidence after a rough night or two, and I can honestly say I’m excited to keep testing it on more wild camps in the months to come.
