Coleman Tent Fail and Spring Camp (apology) - The Importance of Testing Kit

[@coyotekylie]

I'm so glad you never lost any electronics! Looking forward to the later trip!

[@UKPrepperman]

many thanks, dry bags are a must, even just zipper bags or freezer bags - anything to keep the electronics okay and dry bags for the clothes, thanks for watching

The importance of testing your kit. Thanks for the video. Sorry your family holiday was cut short, I hope the kids were not too disappointed. I will be interested to see what tent you get to replace the leaking one.

[@UKPrepperman]

Absolutely. the kit should be reliable... we coped though and thanks..... a trip to Diggerland made up for it!. Possibly will look at a larger Vango - 4/5 person sized... I already have the Banshee 300, great for Solos but is really only suitable for 2 max, or 1 with loads of extra space...

I wouldn't expect that from Coleman. Probably a monday model. Mine is 10 yrs old and still ok

Talking about coleman tents, i was in gooutdoors last week, i couldnt help but notice coleman advertising thier blackout sleeping areas! Is it just me, if you take this out in the heat of summer, it would be very very very toasty, even more toasty than most tents get under the sun and heat. Unfortunately not to my liking.

[@UKPrepperman]

interesting thought , black is supposed to absorb heat, maybe as only black on the inside it'd be okay?.... we are yet to get hot weather though,.. atb Chris

Came close to buying that tent but a smaller version. Opted for the vango meteor 200 instead. It's a shame the tent leaked like that, coleman tents are usually ok too. Subscribed to your channel, all the best Gaz 👍

[@UKPrepperman]

cheers, Gaz and ta for the sub'. Just checked out your view on the Meteor, nice tent. subbed you

[@UKPrepperman]
