How long does it take and how easy is it to pitch a Helsport Varanger, and does anyone use the inner/groundsheet.
The videos I have found, just seem to show the tent laid out in a rough circle, then the outer is pulled taught on the ground, ground pegs hammered in, the pole raised, and the ground peg webbing tightened.
It all looks remarkably quick and easy. On my Tentipi, even with the central peg and tape arrangement to position the pegs , I find it needs a lot of fiddling to get it pitched properly, and even more fiddling to get the door to open and close properly. And in practice needs all the pegs put in, before I feel it looks properly pitched.
So I am interested in how easy people find the Varanger to pitch, especially from anyone who can compare experience of the Varanger and a Tentipi.
Many thanks,
Graham
