Terra Nova - Pioneer Lite 2

Terra Nova Pioneer Lite 2. Around the same weight as your current Vango. 3/4 season (I’ve had it on some windy summits and it was great) it’s not cheap but a lot cheaper than a Hilleberg for example. The inner can be retracted easily to maximise your vestibule space which wasn’t a big seller for me when purchasing it, but in practice it’s been a great feature.

All mine tout themselves as 2p (except the Pioneer Lite 2, which I think claims 1.5p, whatever that means). I'm only 5'7" but am generally a bit disorganised and seem to be able to clutter up the place rather easily. I tend to like to keep as much properly 'inside' as I can, which is why I tend to lean towards more space. I have noticed that there's often not a lot of difference in weight between 1p and 2p versions of the same thing. The only sub-2kg ones I have are a Zephyros Compact 2 and a Lanshan 2. The Lanshan is significantly bigger inside, though of course they are very different styles of tent, with the Zephyros being lower profile and better in windy conditions at the expense of internal space, being a bit heavier and not needing walking poles, which I always take anyway.

Durston X-Mid 2 ticks most boxes, dual vestibules, fly to ground, strong in wind/rain, light. Tarptent Stratospire 2 is weather proof with real vestibules but heavier. Terra Nova Pioneer 2 is solid and lighter than your current tent. Naturehike or 3F are okay if you accept durability tradeoffs. For wet and wind, structure beats ultralight every time.

Terra nova is a good choice. they do a trade in deal to. Send them any tent in working order and they will give you a discount. It's kind of hidden on there site. But it is there

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
