Multiple Brands - Quasar

90% of people here will advise against fires like this (10% will think we are killjoys). While wild camping (not the same as camping anywhere) is allowed in Scotland you’ll find that fires are not permitted or are discouraged. peat can burn underground for many miles for extended periods (years). If you are going to do this please please do it on a platform, maybe on rock. Personally i would ask you not to but if yoi do… Winter tents in Scotland? I wouldn’t use less than a hilleberg or terra nova but that’s out of your budget. I’m a big fan of my quasar which is genuinely roomy enough for two (usually ‘2 person’ involves thin small people). If you stump up cash for one of those (eg Soulo) you will get possibly a lifetimes’ use out of them. Others will be able to speak to particular models. Ps if you do decide to do a fire you will at best be hot in front and still freezing on your back so don’t think it will ‘keep you warm’ lol

Great post. I await the ‘can i get the equiavlent of this for 150 quid’ replies. I keep being tempted by a Soulo but my Quasar looks at me *real* funny and it’s got a point…

I was in the lakes in September and went up to sprinkling tarn in dreadful weather, got a night of perfect solitude while the tent bucked around me, perfectly content because I knew it could take it:) On the way down, met some guys who were a bit nonplussed I’d been out in that, asked about my tent. When I said quasar, they were even more bemused. ‘Isn’t that a really old one?’ Amateurs, lol.
