A Girl and Her Coleman Tent : Camping in a Cheap Tent in the Mountains Alone

[@Kemulnitestryker]

Many years ago in San Diego I was homeless while working full time and I had a Coleman tent that I lived in for over a year. Set it up in the evening, took it back down the next morning so I could go to work. Probably gave it 5 or 6 years worth of use using it every night. Ended up giving it to my son when my situation improved so he could use it for camping. He used it for 2 or 3 years himself. The tent never gave either of us any problem, never leaked, stood up to storms and snow and high winds.

I think of Coleman products as a safe bet. Decent quality, decent prices, decent ruggedness/durability. If you're looking at 10 brands of the same product, and you don't recognize any of the others, Coleman is probably not going to let you down. Might not impress you, but isn't crap (in my past experiences with limited number of products)

[@EdwinCV-dh8qc]

Suzie , maybe next time you can use a one man tent with light weight materials with all products including the backpack thank you much.

[@Chezblarger]

I’ve had Coleman back their full warranty a couple times and was really impressed they backed it.

[@cmc5394oparva]

Yeah, we have one of their big Weathermaster tents, and it's the very definition of "good enough."

My dad taught me almost everything I know about hiking and camping. He loved the Coleman brand. He’s passed on now but I have almost all of his old Coleman gear. Tents, stoves, lanterns, etc. all of it is over 40 years old and still works perfectly.

[@taragatorade]

I think "old" Coleman is much different than the products they put out now, but I second your dad Coleman gear relationship. My dad section hiked the AT with a Coleman tent, bag and butane stove.

[@andreasiven21]

@@taragatorade its with nearly everything :) its profit over quality these days sadly

[@ARLGD]

That's amazing that you have your dad's old Coleman gear! It's great to see how durable and reliable those products are. Speaking of quality outdoor gear, have you heard of Segway's Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile powerhouse with a whopping 5kWh expandable capacity, perfect for extended camping trips. It's also built tough with an armor design and has fast recharging capabilities. Definitely a great addition to your outdoor adventures!

[@jyo8914]

Thank you for the review! My wife and I have a cheapie $90 Sundome 4 person tent for over 8 years now with countless trips under our belt. I have to say that we are super impressed with it! It has withstood driving rain, crazy winds and very cold temps and keeps on plugging along. Aside from some wear and tear from the fabric rubbing on the tent pole connectors, we have not had any issues with it. It's tough to find fault with it regardless of price. It's fairly small and sets up easily. The carrying case could use quite a bit more space since it's crazy trying to get everything back into it when you're trying to pack up and head to your next spot or back home. I have had to use our Coleman warranty on a new chair that broke in it's first outing though. I emailed customer support and provided pics and they sent out a new chair free of charge. Nice!!!

[@joycedellinger2528]

I have a 5-person Coleman tent I bought back in 2014, paid $110 for it and it's never let me down. Haven't gone camping the last 4 years as I was going through cancer treatments. Plan to go next summer since I'm in remission and feel better.

[@connieharless9530]

I had a pup tent when I was a kid. Heavy canvas. Had a really musty smell but I loved it. My dad would tell my brother to ‘get out of there, you know that’s your sister’s tent’. When I was about 16 I started to really notice the smell. The family tent was also canvas and smelled just as bad. I gave up and started sleeping in the bed of the pick-up. Ah, those were the days. I’m 78 now and can barely get in the camper, let alone crawl into a tent. Love your channel. 🌸😊

[@spc3461]

An honest and thorough breakdown! Love how you put Coleman to the test in challenging conditions. Your insights truly help campers make informed decisions. Keep up the great work!

[@kathybrandt6060]

I remember the first tent we got from Coleman. It was canvas. This is going back to the early 70s 71,72. And my family had a eight person, Coleman tent. The one thing you never did was touch the walls of the tent. Because, as my mother said the tent, will leak if you touch it. So we never touched the walls of the tent. all my memories of that tent were good. I was seven at the time, so I do not think worrying about it. Leaking was on my mind. But we use that tent for three seasons before we stopped using it I don’t know why we stopped using it. But we moved up to a pop-up camper which was a Coleman. My memories of that camper were always good. There was five of us and two German shepherds, in the camper slept six. So getting up to use the bathroom at three in the morning was very interesting. We kept that camper for five years. I remember my mother telling me that the fabric had to be cared for which was no trouble just to make sure it never molded or broke down. Because the tent, part of the camper was canvas. We did sell that camper, the year we opened it and found carpenter ants had taken over the interior. They had pulled the water drain plug and filled every open spot in the whole camper. I don’t know if they made any money selling it, but they did have to tell them why we were selling it. At least that’s what my 14-year-old mind remembers. So to say the least yes I have grown up using Coleman products and always loved camping. If I didn’t live in a condo, I would buy a pop-up camper again, but alas, it would cost more to store it then it would cost to rent a cabin in state parks.

[@browsman2328]

Hi Susie, my friend recently had igniter failure on his ten year old Jetboil. He contacted Jetboil by phone and the nice lady on the phone told him how to fix it and it worked! It involved pulling the igniter probe out and bending it at a certain angle. He was very happy with the Jetboil customer service.

I love my Coleman Dark room skydome 4-person! 5 Minute setup is accurate with experience, also I never guy it out. Mine has never leaked and is awesome. It has great airflow, so I only use it for 3 season camping though. It really is great for a solo camper too. I have a blowup twin mattress, a camping chair and misc. gear stored in it when I go out.

[@clowone681]

Great content. As far as Jetboil I love them. I noticed that your little igniter wire is bent down against the burner. You will never get a spark like that, and most likely the spark is grounding out along the body of the stove under the burner. The quick and easy fix; gently bent the wire up. There is meant to be a gap between the wire and the top of the burner where the fuel is coming out of the burner ports. Kinda like a spark plug. There needs to be a gap. An easy way to ensure you are getting a spark is without the gas canister attached go into a dimly lit room press the igniter and see where the spark is going being careful not to make contact with the wire with bare hands because it will give you a little jolt ⚡️. Electricity alway travels through the path of least resistance. If the insulation on the wire under the burner is exposed from being bent it will spark under the burner and not ignite the fuel. Good luck and keep doing what your doing. Sending Love and Positivity Your Way ❤️🤙🏽

[@aw1008]

With the jetboil, the igniter can bend when you're packing it if you're not careful. Simple bend it back, and it will work like new.

[@susanmartin8117]

I have had a jet boil for years. I believe it was when they first came out. And I have not had any problem whatsoever with it and I still use it. So I think what I would do when your cases first if you can get near where the wires I’d check and see if the wire is loose. If it is not loose then I will call the manufacturer and I don’t care how old it is I think they would replace it. I hope you get to the bottom of this. Love your solo trip Susie.

[@jacobravenwood7968]

Myself, my brother and several of my friends have all purchased jet boils in the past as well. As off brands and most of the ones that we've purchased within a couple of months to a year, the PZO electric ignitors stop functioning. And we troubleshoot it just like your comments suggested still couldn't get them to work. Most of the companies replace without question. There were a couple of companies that said nope. Sorry, sales final, so now I just carry a lighter around with me. In case they don't work.😅

[@jessys9868]

What a great video! I’m always so happy to see you in a solo or shared adventure. I also, being an avid Knitter, love checking out your hats! As for your jetboil stove, always wanted one, but could not justify the price. That’s because I am still using the $11.97 one I got from Amazon OVER EIGHT Years ago. I do like the cool factor though, after all, I camp in a teardrop year-round. Not a fan of the rain, but cold weather and snow make my heart sing. At 73 my Camping in a tent days have been over for a while. Yes indeed a teardrop is the way to go for me. Keep those videos coming.

I never hesitate to recommend Coleman products. I've been in a variety of challenging high wind and rain situations with one and it never let me down. I used it so many times it eventually developed holes which is a great thing... used it until it wore out.

Speaking of Coleman and stoves, I used a 1946 Coleman model 530 GI pocket stove last time I went out camping. It's very heavy by modern standards, but it was fun to use. We also lit camp with a Coleman 222A backpacking white gas lantern.

[@larrywarembourg7847]

[@susanwright6785]

Coleman IS legit. I have several of the products and none of them have failed me yet. I have 2-3 of their tents and they may be old but they’re the bomb! Not once has any one of them ever leaked. Love love love the Skydome - it’s my favorite go-to tent.

[@michaeldean4704]

I bought the 4-person Coleman Skydome, with the "Full-Fly Weather Vestibule", and I'm extremely happy with it. The vestibule isn't as large as I thought it would be, but it is big enough for one or two people to sit out of the rain and stay dry. But what I'm most happy with is how dry it stayed. I was out in a couple of heavy storms with it and not a drop of rain made it inside. Very impressive.

[@robertfitzkee3862]

My family been using Coleman tents since the 70's sometime early 80s. I used those tents camping out in the backyard with friends in dry and raining days not one of those tents ever leaked or failed and never once did those tents ever been retreated with water proofing. They need to make tents like they did back then and less mesh junk. I want a tent not mesh if I wanted a mesh tent I would put up a mesh screen awning for cook outs. Besides the mesh Coleman still makes good tents. But I got away from the fiberglass pole junk because of winds and snow. So I went and tried out a new tent by gear guide teepee tent and love it. It's roomy with 18' x 18' size. And I bought another one 14' x 14' this one is tan color and the other is dark green I back pack both tents plus I love them both because you can put a stove jack in them for a wood stove in them. I'm sold on them. I still love Coleman but found something little more to what I need as off grid and survival training. Now my friends went and got the guide gear teepee tents lol. Love your videos please keep them coming thank you.

Dear Susie and Luke, Sorry it took 50 videos before I subscribed. Will join soon. Love the vibe and education offered! To the point, I dig my 8'x10' Col'man Sky Dome! 4.8 Stars. This big tent kicked azz in 20+ MPH sustained winds during last Dec. test run, with 35 MPH gusts. One pole bent some and she returned standing tall, no breaks! Did a bug-out in early April, wind, rain, snow test. Rained/snowed the first night(Chloride, Az.), not a single issue!! Rain'n'snow sounds and drifting off to sleep, excellent! The next clear morning was warming, the wee bit of condensation on the fly released 2 mini spurts of spray through the mesh?? Cool!! Non issue... Super Winds the next few days caused some addition (Fail?) points to address(not leaks). Simple guy line and zip tie repairs, this tent stood strong in anything but a true 4 Season beating. Indeed it is DANG COLD mid Winter with the enormous quality mesh Sky Dome configuration. Cant wait for a Summer trip with the fly gone, and sky open ;~) Take care of yourselves and each other. Your newest fan, Don

[@jeffgaboury3157]

Awesome video. Glad your Coleman didn't let you down. Coleman sent me a 4 person cabin tent with a screened in room as a replacement for a recalled (non_tent product). It was big and roomy and the front screen room was awesome. Alas, mine leaked the first time I used it. However, I thought I'd resolved the issue by following Luke's advice on seam sealing it and that indeed did fix the leaking completely. However, on my third trip on an essentially windless week-long trip, one of the poles broke catastrophically. Long story short, I replaced it with a North Face Wawona 6 tent with the large front room and I've never looked back. New rule for Jeff -- no more tents with carbon fibre poles! Aluminum only! Enjoying your Solo Suzie adventures!

[@carltuckerson7718]

Im glad you did good 'ol Coleman. I had literally just asked about Coleman on one of the recent videos. I've used them my whole life. I don't take them that seriously. But at the same time I have a ton of nostalgia for their products and I still use the heck out of their stoves and a few other things. The main, and kind of more expensive purchase I've made from Coleman recently is some of their cold-weather, old-school style sleeping bags for our RV. I love that we can zip them together and the kids stay warm. I am also using one of the bags in my single-person overland trailer. There is just something about the heft and feel of cotton. If you're not backpacking or sleeping in a tent, I don't know why you would use anything other than cotton.

[@visnuexe]

Congratulations! You did it! It must hsve felt lit it was 25°F with that rain. Good thing you were well equipped for this! Nothing worse than that bone cold chill that gets harder to shake. The coldest i camped lately was 34°F with a brisk wind, but with no rain. Was able to have a fire. Even that was a 50% warm situation. The fireside warms up but the otherside freezes. I now pack a foam insulated , and covered with warm cloth, sit upon for my chair. It folds up inside my camp chair cover. That really makes a difference to avoid losing core heat. Next time see what you can do to set up a tarp for even more room. It can cut the wind and rain enough to change camera angles without having to get wet every change of angle.

Hey there Susie, I too had a jetboil fail. It needed a bit of maintenance I rubbed the ignitor with same sandpaper, corrected the angle of the ingnitor and cleaned all the holes. It was working as it should until recently, but another problem has appeared. Although I had plenty of gas and the temperature was about 50°F the Jetboil struggled to perform with maximum efficiency it didn't reach its optimum burn and boiling some water took twice as long. I was using regular camping gas so I'm not sure what the problem is. Being that we are in winter I've turned to an MSR kerosene cooker which out performs the jetboil in cold weather. Stay safe and I look forward to your next adventure atb Taff 🤠👊

[@prarieborn6458]

mressed wit your coleman tent. i didnot know Coleman had a warranty. We have had Coleman gas lanterns the past, back in the 60’s. the kind with the mantles and the coleman fuel. We have a Coleman stove that uses bottled gas cylinders, it is in a nice little metal suitcase. Still use it for cooking during power outages..it is so old but it still seems new to me. I have had a Coleman Battery lantenr for over 20 yrs, takes D batteries, has a remote switch and a night light. I still works perfectly during power outages.. We. bought a really nic queen size air mattress from Coleman 20 yrs ago, still in good condition, yes Coleman is a great product. Susie, you. should have a heater for your little tent! iI do not like that stove, it looks like it would be too easy to tip over. I lke those little square 1 and 2 burner stoves that Luke has. i really enjoyed your Girl Alone adventure. I hope ou will do more Thank you. !

Coleman was pretty much all you saw in family camping gear.We loved it all.

[@nealrehm6900]

Susie, I’ve had two Coleman products,the first one an old lantern that used the white gas? It lasted a very very long time. The second product is practically brand new. I think I’ve used it one time. It is the two burner Coleman stove that uses the propane, gas bottles. When I go to my flying events, we usually stay for three or four days so I have upgraded for the last three years on my camping products. Coleman I would say is like Ford or GM back in the 70s. I normally bring a generator with me because I need to do a lot of charging of batteries for the event. Plus this is usually a summertime hobby, so we like to have fans going too. In the fall and early spring it gets a little cold like what you were experiencing in this video. So I also carry a 1500 W electric heater. I don’t recommend this, but I have disabled the tip over circuit because it has to be perfectly level in two directions, I also have a small oil heater that’s only 700 W. It takes the edge off the cold in the tent. That’s all for now love the videos U2 make.

I’ve been using Coleman products for over 50 years and have never been disappointed. I have a Coleman sleeping bag that is over 40 years old, it has cotton outer layer and flannel inner liner, and NOTHING is as comfortable!! It’s only good to about 35 degrees so I have a 0 degree nylon bag to use as an outer, but that Coleman is always the inner bag. For the price, Coleman is tough to beat!

Good job Susie, felt like Luke was actually there the quality of the shots and angles was spot on!

I think it has to do with size and price point when it comes to Coleman. For example my first tent was / is (I still have it for emergencies should I need it) the 3 person Sundome. Took it to the White Mountains and it did pretty well in an early fall rain storm. That said. I would suggest a tarp awning for a rain fly if expecting a heavy storm.

Love the channel. Your last two outings have been awesome. I know it's not your favorite, but your filming alone has really grown in my opinion.

My husband and I had a four person Coleman tent. It served us well for many many camps and finally wore out. We didn't feel right asking for a replacement. By then we had several big dogs, anyway, and two were elderly so we switched to a travel trailer for their sakes.

i put my LIKE after 8mins watching this vid, thumbs up to TOGR. I would recommend Fire Maple Star X2/X3 or Polaris will be great sure to replace that Jet Boil though🤭

I set up a 4-person, green/white Cileman dome tent in my backyard and left it there for three years beside a tarp set up. It was my diversion as I provided home care to my wife (cancer). The tent withstood Virginia's rain, snow, an ice storm and hot summer sun. It finally succumbed and I bought a new version. I love Coleman products. Hmmm! Paisley? At a recent party I sat next to a guy wearing a Paisley shirt. When he talked all I could look at was his shirt and the paisley patterns seem to enlarge through the evening. 😂

Awesome job on this video Suzie...!!!! You are engaging, funny and thoughtful. We had a blue canvas Coleman tent growing up. It was huge!!! Made of Egyptian cotton. Many good memories... :)

I watched this video twice, yesterday and tonight. I really love it Susie when you camp by yourself. The tent is really pretty and I'm glad it held up for you. Looking forward to the next video!

I agree about feeling cold easily. I want it to be at least 55 degrees or I'm staying in the house. LOL I'm 70 now so I could say that when I was younger I would not have been as cold but I think that would be a lie. I'm always COLD...... I love the look of your tent. It cute!
