Hi members,
Well this weekend was the weekend for setting up and trying the newly purchased Outwell Yellowstone Falls. I was on my own this weekend so knew I was in for a slight challenge
I have set up one Outwell tent on my own (Outwell Magic, 4 person) using the method of pegging the four corners and then feeding the middle pole through first, I found this set up process incredibly easy and quick too!! I know the design of the Ambiente collection is different and read some of the feedback from owners on this forum. Still, I turned up to the site ready for action!!

I have to say, setting this tent up and packing down almost killed me!!! 24hrs later and I'm still feeling completely drained
It is a completely different story setting this tent up. As everybody has mentioned, working the poles through is an absolute nightmare (especailly on your own)!! By the time I'd set the tent up I felt so disappointed at how long and difficult it was. I think it took me over two hours. The Outwell Magic took me 20 mins!!
To make matters even worse, I caught the pole on the inside sleeve
Could anyone offer advice on what to do with this please? Does Outwell offer repair kits for things like this? I also caught it slightly on another sleeve and I certainly don't want to do this again! In the end I had to feed a short length, then go inside the tent and feed that, then back outside...
Despite my brain hurting and feeling dead from head to toe, once up, I loved the tent!! It's lovely and ticks so many boxes- design, floor plan, colour, quality...

Afternoon Vicki,
Thank you so much for your reply back in October regarding me pitching my Yellowstone Falls. I haven't logged into the site for a while, but for some reason I did not receive an email to inform me of your message, like I normally do.
I think I've found some black tape from a company called McNett which should do the job and people seem to recommend it, so after Christmas I'll order some.
I've also been on the hunt for a suitable windbreak to match the tent. Have had real difficulty trying to find something.I was really disappointed with the new Outwell range of tents (not that I need one)!! I was hoping they would produce a mocca windscreen to match the new mocca air tent, but sadly no!
Amazingly, I've managed to find one of the Ambiente windscreens, new, near Vienna!! So it matches the tent!
Have you seen the new 2015 collection yet and if so what's your thoughts?
Anyway, thanks again Vicki and hope you have a fab Christmas.
Regards,
Simon
