This Kuiu Stormstar 2 is the only reason I made it off the fells in one piece last week. After a nasty slip left me with a broken hand during a -9°C blizzard on Mungrisdale Common, I had to rely on this 4-season expedition tent to keep me alive.
Today, I’m down by the River Eden to give you a full Kuiu Stormstar 2 review. I’m putting it to the ultimate extreme 4-season test: seeing if I can actually manage a single-handed pitch with this injury.
In this video, we look at:
How the Stormstar 2 handles high winds.
The reality of pitching an expedition tent with one hand.
Why I consider this the most bombproof shelter for winter wild camping.
Is it worth the premium price tag for UK fells?
What’s the one piece of gear that has never let you down in a storm? Let me know in the comments!
