WHY I LOVE VANGO FOR MY WILD CAMPING ADVENTURES

Why the Vango Banshee Pro 200 is the Perfect Tent for Wild Camping on Dartmoor

Wild camping is one of the most exciting and challenging ways to experience the great outdoors. With nothing but your gear and the natural environment to rely on, it's a true test of your survival skills and your ability to adapt to the elements. And when it comes to camping gear, one piece that can make all the difference is your tent. For me, the Vango Banshee Pro 200 is the perfect choice for wild camping on Dartmoor, and here's why.

The Vango Banshee Pro 200 is a lightweight and compact tent that's specifically designed for backpackers and wild campers. It's made from high-quality materials that can withstand the harsh and unpredictable conditions of the outdoors, while still being easy to set up and take down. Here are some of the key features that make the Banshee Pro 200 the ideal tent for wild camping on Dartmoor.

Size and Weight

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a tent for wild camping is its size and weight. You want a tent that's small and light enough to carry in your backpack, but also spacious enough to give you a comfortable sleeping space. The Vango Banshee Pro 200 is a two-person tent that weighs only 2.4 kg, making it one of the lightest and most compact tents on the market. Its packed size is only 46 x 16 cm, which means it can easily fit into most backpacks without taking up too much space.

Durability

When you're camping in the wild, you need a tent that can withstand the elements. The Vango Banshee Pro 200 is made from high-quality materials that are both waterproof and breathable. The outer flysheet is made from Protex® RS fabric, which has a hydrostatic head of 5000 mm, making it completely waterproof. The inner tent is made from breathable polyester, which helps to reduce condensation and keep the inside of the tent dry. The tent also has a strong and sturdy structure, with alloy poles that can withstand high winds and heavy rain.

Easy to pitch

When you're camping in the wild, you don't want to spend hours setting up your tent. The Vango Banshee Pro 200 is designed to be easy and quick to set up, so you can spend more time enjoying the great outdoors. The tent comes with pre-angled alloy poles that are color-coded to make it easy to identify which pole goes where. The flysheet and inner tent can be pitched together, or separately if you prefer, and the tent has a clip-on system that makes it easy to attach the flysheet to the poles.

Ventilation

Ventilation is crucial when camping in the wild, as it helps to reduce condensation and keep the inside of the tent dry. The Vango Banshee Pro 200 has a mesh door and vents on both ends of the tent, which provide excellent airflow and reduce the risk of condensation. The vents can be adjusted to control the amount of airflow, which is particularly useful in different weather conditions.

Weather Resistant

The weather on Dartmoor can be unpredictable, and it's essential to have a tent that can withstand the elements. The Vango Banshee Pro 200 is made from Protex RS flysheet, which is a durable and weather-resistant material that can withstand heavy rain and strong winds. The tent also features a Vango PowerLite 7001-T6 alloy pole system that provides excellent stability in windy conditions.
