In this easy to follow video guide I cover pitching the Luxe Hexpeak v4a’s flysheet / tarp, installing the stock 1 person / three season inner and easy modifications that you can make in order to make the pitching process as easy as possible for you - while optimising the excellent performance of the tent too!

The luxe hexpeak v4a tent, pitched properly, is a very strong shelter with a tipi design suited to backpacking / bikepacking trips, mountain camping and is capable of withstanding some serious and challenging weather conditions (tested thus far in windy conditions reaching 50mph and constant, heavy rain). The key is nailing the pitch!

While it has a steep learning curve if you aren’t used to a tarp style or pyramid tent, with the right method and some practice you’ll nail it quickly, reducing your pitch times all the while! The Hexpeak is definitely worth the time and effort - for your patience you’ll be rewarded with a storm worthy shelter that sticks to the ground like a limpet on a rock and features an incredible amount of space for its weight.

I hope you find this video helpful - if you’ve got any further questions about the Hexpeak that I haven’t covered, just drop me a comment and I’ll get back to you. :)
