Wild camping washout. Why are these tents so expensive?

In this video I head out wild camping in the UK (Peak District) to test out an ultralight tent, the Tarptent Notch Li. I wanted to see if the DCF really is worth the money and are they any good for UK wild camping? The tent & other camping gear got a decent test as I was camping in rain and wind.

I have an MSR Tindheim tent and a Gopro Hero 11 & Insta360 action camera bundle up for grabs over on https://www.messner.co.uk/ Good luck to everyone who enters the competition 🤞🏻
