Anyone got one gathering dust? Looking for one in very good condition/ minimal use.

Or if anyone has used the Fjern Gokotta 2 and knows how it compares they seem to be very similar and good value. Would be interested in opinions.
 
Yep. Missed out on one on here a few years back annoyingly.

The Fjern looks very good but I know everyone is just copying the MSR in that category. Unfortunately I don’t have the budget for a new MSR though!
 
I have an Elixir 2 that hasn’t been used in a while. Slightly heavier and can be packed much smaller than the bag it comes with.
 
I've experience of the MSR Huba Huba. It's a great tent, really spacious, high quality materials all round and with decent headroom. Only downside for me was the silnylon outer, I would have preferred a silpoly which if it rains won't soak up the water like a silnylon which tends to absorb it and means if blowing a hoolie you might get some sag needing slackening of the inner to stop the fly touching or some retensioning of the fly sheet. I don't like packing damp flysheets into my rucksack unless I can pack inner tent separately

They're on offer at various outlets for about £440 though which makes them an attractive proposition. Cheaper still, but a really nice quality tent with plenty of space is the Terra Nova Wild country Helm Compact 2 tent. So impressed with these (A few about in the Lakes where I was backpacking over the summer with campers seemingly very happy with them) and a decent polyester fly with 4000mm hydrostatic head. Seemed very sturdy tents too. I might just buy one of these and pay the weight penalty as they're still back packable at 2.17Kg.

I popped into my local camping store recently to replace my old sleeping mat with a decent lightweight newer one that offered way better comfort and insultation, and they had a Helm 2 there which I had a good look around. Intend on buying one now for wild camping.
