I'm definite this tent is for me and wifey. But the footprint for 3p is out of stock. Any leads?

[@CampingGuidance]

@@Ed.Sel74 Oh! It's still on sale on Amazon US. Only the 4P is currently out of stock.

[@Ed.Sel74]

@@CampingGuidance ok. I checked and it’s still not available. Both footprints for 3p or 4p. Thanks.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@Ed.Sel74 Hey Ed! Wait am I looking at the wrong thing hahaha. Lemme send you an affiliate link and maybe you can check that out! Here you go: amzn.to/3QWCmoH

[@Ed.Sel74]

@@CampingGuidance thanks for the link. But still it’s still unavailable.

[@Werkar27]

This looks like a very viable and a much much more affordable alternative to the STS Ikos. I'm really surprised how far Teton and Naturehike have come, in terms of the quality of their tents. Also, another excellent and through review from you. Keep up the good work.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much as always Wer Kar! It really means a lot that you like my reviews and you're still here supporting the channel 🥰 And yeah!! I've never had any Naturehike tents tbh, but I wanna get my hands on them eventually! Do you have any that you recommend? 😊

[@Werkar27]

@@CampingGuidance I haven't used any Naturehike tents as well. However, the one that caught my attention was the Hiby, as it looks like it can be set up like an Hilleberg tent. But there aren't any reviews out there 😅

[@CampingGuidance]

@@Werkar27 Thanks for the suggestion Wer Kar! 😊 It looks like a great tent for sure! I'll remember it the next time I'm thinking of buying any Naturehike tents. Do let me know if you eventually get any of them! I'd love to know more 😊

[@alanclarkson1921]

I own this tent. I've had it for 2 years. Excellent tent! I also have quite a bit of Teton Sports products. This tent is great for 3 seasons only. Headroom is very generous. Doors are spacious, and allow plenty of room to enter and exit. I like the vestibules, and the ability to open only half of it, or all of it. Ventilation is fantastic for, again, 3 seasons. Overall, and excellent tent at a budget price. I've had no issued with mine, and really enjoy it. I would recommend this tent.

[@CampingGuidance]

Hey Alan! Thanks so much for your input and analysis of your use of the tent! It was really interesting to read and I had the same experience as you! 🥰 And yep - definitely for 3 seasons only!

[@30mrgoodfellow]

Any condensation issues. I can't seem to solve this problem...

[@jtkraynak]

Getting ready to go solo camping for my first time using this tent. Excellent review and how-to. Thanks for sharing!

[@CampingGuidance]

Thanks for the comment and for sharing! 🥰 Ooooh let me know how your solo camping in this tent goes! I'd love to hear about it.

[@jtkraynak]

@@CampingGuidance Went great! The following morning brought some unexpected torrential rain but it held up perfectly. Not a drop of water in the tent. :)

[@CampingGuidance]

@jtkraynak thanks so much for the update! 🥰 wow I’m really happy to know that you managed to keep dry! Glad that you’re liking the tent! 😁

[@yenawesome4565]

Thanks for the excellent review as always! Like to watch your reviews just to relax even thou I have no plans to go camping anytime soon 😂

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked the review and found it relaxing haha 😁 More of these coming up soon!

[@deborahnaybor2233]

I camp a lot but I like seeing all the different tents out on the market.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@deborahnaybor2233 Hehe glad to have viewers like you guys!! 🥰

[@YingMoua-lp2tn]

Great video. How about sleeping bag. I’m in Minnesota so we snow.

[@Lt_Tragg]

Love ours! The only thing not to like is the bright yellow fly we got ours in which does not lend itself to stealthy should we care too.

[@chrisk9351]

That kind of reminds me of my Eureka Midori Tent. I do like the door pockets, that's a great feature! Great job on the video!

[@CampingGuidance]

Thanks so much for the comment and the heads up on the Eureka Midori Chris! 😃 But I would think that the Eureka is probably higher quality 🤔 And yeah!! Love the door pockets too. I've been spoiled by them and now toggles are annoying to deal with 😂

[@BiznessWizard]

Thank you very much for this very complete and thorough review and explanation of this tent. It answered all my questions and more for this tent I am considering purchasing. I love how you measured everything and gave the component stats. Glad I found this video. You got a like and a subscription from this individual.

[@CampingGuidance]

Hey Denis! You're most welcome, and I'm really glad that you liked the review and all the measurements too! Happy to hear that 🥰 And thank you so much for your like, comment and sub too! That really helps me out loads 🥰

[@deborahnaybor2233]

This looks like a great tent for a 2 person size. Because I'm short, I can sort of stand up in this size tent. Your reviews make you think you must be an engineer, or a scientist, because you are so thorough and really give information needed to make a good decision. :)

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much Deborah! I really appreciate your support and comments, it means a lot 🥰 And yeah it's definitely great for a 2P tent! And me too! I can kind of like crouch over a little bit, and it feels pretty spacious hahaha. Btw, how tall are you, if you don't mind me asking? 😊 And nope I'm not an engineer or scientist, just obsessed with this KZbin channel and testing camping gear 🤩 I was an analyst at a finance firm previously though, so maybe some of that translated over 😂

[@deborahnaybor2233]

I'm 5' 2" so I have to bend to stand up but at least I can get dressed easier. Ah ha, an analyst! You do a great job. Are you in Singapore by any chance? I lived there for a couple of years and your weather and palm trees remind me of my time there. @@CampingGuidance

[@CampingGuidance]

@@deborahnaybor2233 Hi Deborah! Thanks for the reply and all the kind words! 🥰 And we're about the same height! I can kinda stand up a little bit too hahaha 😆 And yes I'm from Singapore! Oh wow small world! How was your experience living there?

[@deborahnaybor2233]

Lol, I thought we were about the same height. I loved the parks and gardens in Singapore. I taught at the Singapore Institute of Management and my students were wonderful. But it was way too hot for me! I like temperatures close to freezing. :)

[@CampingGuidance]

@@deborahnaybor2233 Wow that's so impressive! Wish that I could have known you while you were here. Really glad that you liked all the parks and gardens! But sadly we can't camp there, I tried camping and filming before but got thrown out 🤣 Why did you decide to head back? and yeah I think it's definitely hotter now than a couple years ago, global warming probably 😞

[@cmc5394oparva]

Wow, that's a really decent setup! I really like the fact that you can pull all four sides of the rainfly out to get better ventilation, but you still get good rain coverage. The stitching on that zipper you pointed out is a concern, but with Teton's warranty, it probably wouldn't be a big deal to get a replacement in that case.

[@CampingGuidance]

Hi Christopher! Thank you so much for sharing! And yeah I totally agree with you 😊 Thanks for pointing out about Teton's warranty too. But sadly I don't live in the US so I sometimes have issues with shipping back and forth, so I try not to rely too much on the warranty if possible 😅

[@CrakkerJaks]

It’s a great tent. I own it.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@CrakkerJaks Glad to know that! 😃 Thank you for sharing!

[@richardryerson]

This is literally the best review I have ever watched! You really covered so many points here. What do you think about packing this tent with an Teton Sports Explorer 4000 backpack or similar?

[@CampingGuidance]

Hey Rick! Thank you so much for letting me know, I'm glad I could help out a little! 🥰 Ah I don't have much experience with backpacking though :( But I think the packed size of this tent is quite small, so it should go into any large 50+ liter backpacks quite easily.

[@nickster2294]

thank you for the review. your content is so detailed and has helped me make better purchases for myself and my partner when it comes to camping as we dont really have much knowledge on tents etc. thanks to you i will be purchasing this tent and using it!

[@briansummit3818]

Your review of the Teton Quick Tent was favorable. Do you like this tent as well or better than it? (And thank you for taking the time to do these reviews; they provide a valuable service!)

[@CampingGuidance]

Hey Brian! I'm really glad that you like my reviews, thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to let me know 🥰 Between the Vista and the Mountain Ultra, I think the Mountain Ultra is much better. I have a video comparing the Best Budget Tent Under $100 coming out soon (hopefully within the next month or so 😅) comparing the Vista, Mountain Ultra, and 4 other tents so that will answer your question a lot better! 🥰

[@briansummit3818]

​@@CampingGuidance Thank you for the quick reply, and really looking forward to that video! From your other videos it seems like the Ultra should come out pretty high out of the 6 tents. Without giving away the results of a yet to be released video, could you say whether it's safe to purchase the Ultra now, or should I wait for the video? I have a 52" mattress, so am planning on purchasing the 3-person Ultra to have a little extra room on both sides.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@briansummit3818 Thanks for the reply as well Brian! And yep the Ultra is definitely one of my favorites, so I would say it's safe to purchase it now. I think the 3P is a great size for 1-2 people! The 2P may be a bit tight for 2 people, especially if you're tall (like 6' and above). Just wanted to let you know in case you changed your mind from a 3P to a 2P. But I think the 3P will be a great purchase!

[@briansummit3818]

Awesome, thank you. Btw, I wanted to let you know that I purchased the Wanona 6 a month ago, largely based on your review, and am very happy with it. And it’ll still be our multi-day tent. It’s a bit much for rolling into a campsite at night and rolling back out the next morning, so I also want a reliable quick set up tent. Thank you again for helping make informed decisions!

[@CampingGuidance]

@@briansummit3818 You're most welcome Brian! Happy to help anytime 🥰 And thank you so much for your update on the Wawona! It makes me really happy to know that you loved it as much as I do too! But yeahhhh the set up can be a bit much for just an overnight trip 😂 Btw I think I saw your order come in through my affiliate link! Thank youuuu so much it truly means a lot 🥰

[@chomp54321]

Thanks for another excellent review. You've reviewed a couple of tents that don't have a footprint even though they say they are included in their instructions. I'm trying to decide if I need a footprint (using a tarp) under a Coleman Hampton tent - not my choice of tent but wife insisted on it. What's your thought on it?

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much as always! You're so sweet for always watching my reviews 🥰 And yeah I kind of figured that they just didn't update their instructions 😂 Using a tarp would definitely be a good choice for sure. I don't show it in my videos but I do protect the base of my tents most of the time, and also helps with cleaning it up hahaha. Hmm I don't have the Coleman Hampton though! Think it wasn't available on my local Amazon for some reason. I think it looks like a decent cabin tent but you can probably expect it to perform the way all my other Coleman tents have performed 😅 What are your wife's thoughts on it?

[@chomp54321]

@@CampingGuidance Good points on why a footprint is a good idea. I have no high expectation for the Coleman tent. In fact, I dread it. My wife likes the D door because she doesn't want to bend her knees to operate the zipper, as she sometimes experience pain in her joints. She would not be swayed by my argument that good tent zippers like the one on the Gazelle T4 Plus (my preference) are snatch-free and would take little effort to operate. I just hope that we're not going to encounter heavy rainfalls during our up-coming camping trip. Update: I think I jinxed myself, because the weather forecast says there'll be a thunderstorm. In fact, it says it will rain the two full days that we'll be there. We may have to abandoned the trip. 🤣 I think I'll still give it a go if we had the Gazelle tent, but certainly not with the Coleman.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@chomp54321 Ah I see. The D door is definitely a huge selling point for lots of folks actually, I found quite a few people asking me about it at one time haha. But you're right, between the Coleman and the Gazelle, I would definitely go with the Gazelle 100%. Oh man I'm so sorry to hear about the weather forecast! Yeah that totally sucks honestly 😔 When do you need to buy the tent by? Oh btw have you heard of the L.L. Bean Acadia cabin tent? One of my viewers told me about it, and it has a hinged door too so your wife would probably like it. It's not available in Singapore, but I was wondering if you had any experience with L.L. Bean tents!

[@chomp54321]

@@CampingGuidanceLOL it is too late. She bought it on sale (she can never resist a sale) despite my protest. I'm hoping it will fail in some catastrophic way so that I can say "See, I told you!" 👹🤣🤣So, in a way, I want to go on the camping trip and let the thunderstorm do the dirty work for me. 😁😁

[@CampingGuidance]

@@chomp54321 Oh no!!! Hahaha most women love sales, me included, how do you think I got most of these tents hahahaha 😂😂😂 Let me know if you decide to go on the camping trip! I'm curious as to how the Coleman tent will hold up now 😅 But tbh you might be the one doing all the dirty work will all the cleaning though 😅🤣

[@Stanley-gi9nb]

Thank you for the great reviews! Can you make a review video for the Lost Horizon AirSoft sleeping pad? It looks very promising but no one has done a full review like yours.

[@CampingGuidance]

Hi Stanley! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really glad that you like the reviews 😊 And thanks for the suggestion too! I'm not familiar with the Lost Horizon brand though. Is that a popular camping brand in the US? I usually stick to only the more mainstream ones currently 😅

[@Stanley-gi9nb]

@@CampingGuidance Hi, it was on Amazon with great reviews. It was supposed to be comparable with Exped self inflating pads but with less than half of the price!

[@CampingGuidance]

@@Stanley-gi9nb Hi Stanley! Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it 😊 Hmm I'm sorry I don't think I'll be getting it though. I didn't really have a very good experience with buying these lesser known brand camping products from Amazon. A lot of them are just cookie cutter made in China, and then the brand slaps their label on it. I think along with Lost Horizon you'll find plenty of other brands making the exact same thing :( I can almost guarantee that it won't be comparable with the Exped just by looking at it. It'll be relatively comfy, and self-inflating, yes, but not comparable.

[@Stanley-gi9nb]

@@CampingGuidance Not a problem! Looking forward for your future reviews!

[@CampingGuidance]

@@Stanley-gi9nb Thanks for your understanding Stanley! I appreciate your support always 🥰 More reviews coming right up!

Great video! We find your content verh helpful 🎉 question, how would you compare this than the teton sports vista 2 quick tent? Would you prefer this for like around 20usd difference?

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much Jan! I'm really glad that you like my content 🥰 That means a lot to me. And I actually have a video coming out within the next couple of weeks on the Best Budget Tents Under $100 (comparing both this Ultra and also the Vista), which should answer your question better. But to answer your question a little more quickly for now - yes, I prefer this to the Vista 😊

You're welcome Ed! And thank you so much for your comments on my videos, they mean a lot 🥰 Did you decide to go with this over the Skydome?

[@Ed.Sel74]

@@CampingGuidance I'm liking this more than any other brand and design for a 3 person tent. Basically it has all of the features I wanted which are; it's waterproof, gear loft, pockets, double wall, vestibule, double door, canopy ventilation, and within price range. The one thing missing is an electrical pass through. I'm sorry I forgot what it's technically called.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@Ed.Sel74 I'm really happy to hear that Ed! 🥰 Thanks so much for sharing. And yes I agree it has so many features, all for a really great price. Oh! And I think what you're referring to is the power port. Hmmm that's true. Maybe Teton Sports designed this more as a 'backpacking' tent so there's less of a need for the power port? 🤔

[@Ed.Sel74]

I finally bought this tent. Unfortunately, it's missing a loop for the gear loft to hook on to. But everything else checks ok. 😂

The worst thing about this tent is the condensation on the inside. Anything touching the floor is damp. Ground sheet and the rain fly tied out with vents open.

[@CampingGuidance]

Oh man really? Did you camp solo or with another person? I'm so sorry to hear that btw. Cos I never had condensation in mine :(

[@30mrgoodfellow]

@CampingGuidance solo. It might have been the cold night and warm day. I don't know. I've since bought a bigger tent.

[@CampingGuidance]

@@30mrgoodfellow Has the bigger tent been working better for you? Perhaps I haven't gotten condensation cos there's not a lot of change where I live in the tropics.
