FOX FRONTIER BIVVY | FAQ's | How To Set Up/Pack Down (Carp Fishing)

[@essexpete1]

Got to say I'm nash through and through but this bivvy is absolutely superb. I got the frontier xd , I'm 6ft 5 . With a Nash 5 season 4 leg wideboy bedchair there is at least 2ft of headroom. 3 ft of space from the edge of the bedchair . The foot print isn't huge but god is it roomy . Without the doubt the bivvy of the year . The build quality is superb. love the elbows on the poles no more chipped poles etc . This is surly the best bivvy so far this year , absolutely superb

[@CeeRTee]

Would you say it is big enough for 2 man use?

[@TrickyCarping]

Almost everything I covered in my review video , however I didn’t cover the pack down, I can’t recommend the bivvy enough!

[@fox_international]

Was a great little video that

@@fox_international thank you, email me if you need a new member on the team 🙏😂

[@M00DS87]

Bought a Frontier X yesterday with the vapour peak, very impressed. Absolute breeze to put together, overall build quality and materials look spot on. Well done Fox. Looking forward to my next night out fishing in this!

[@michaelgoodyear2920]

You can't peg down the XD and then fasten the front arm's unless your 7 feet tall to reach the block to lock the middle arm in place. You need to lean it forward to do this. I have one and love it its like the Tardis and even the XD will fit in 95% of swims on my lakes because of the flat back

[@Elevation119]

Thanks, i have the xd set up in the garden and didn't know how to take it down without forcing anything. Also the manual that comes with it doesnt show that u have to push the middle pole up a bit before pulling it down again so many thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@honestloz]

I think your Brilliant Harry. Not just in this vedio but in everything you do. You come across so genuine & a really nice guy & you obviously are a great Carp fishing man & you know what your doing. Anyway back to this vedio. You always seem so calm & explain everything so well. You do not talk down to your audience you are just so professional & easy to understand. Keep up the good work. Cheers mate. 👍🐟🐟🐟

[@fox_international]

Very kind words. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@mikecotty88]

Very well explained, took me 20mins trying to work out how to take the centre pole down 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 and even then I had to come to KZbin lol, really really impressed with my X bivvy tho, couldn't believe it was pitch black inside the bivvy in the middle of the day 👌🏻

[@danoutdoor117]

What a bivvy I'm getting this for my 24 and 48 hour session! Like ticks all the boxes!

[@im1000btch]

It's annoying that you've done this video with it on the lowest setting. As you say, biggest concern is the size of it - whether it's big enough & then you do a review video and don't set it up normally for scale lol

[@GregAllman76]

Ordered the xd in October being told delivery in August!!

[@monkeythe1st]

You missed question number four.. how does tracker feel about you copying their bivvy?

[@Simon54020]

Immerhin ein anderes verschlusssystem um das bivy letztendlich zu fixieren. Finde es echt gut. 👍

[@holywar8193]

you missed number, 5 trakker copied off fox a long time ago sunshine lol they even stole the skullcap wrap idea to from fox lmao xD

[@elleaton23]

Does it matter whether they did or not? Most tackle companies sell identical products like tail rubbers and other terminal tackle, pods, unhooking matts, landing poles. Dont see people moaning about that

Can you put groundsheet down first and put bivvy on top…..looks like there’s no tension strap to worry about ????

[@jamiewanley7855]

Im assuming this will fit an r3 bedchair of takes a flatliner? Ive just downsize from an xd to a standard in camo main due to not being able to fit the xd in my car properly and i miss the more compact brolly / bivvy style

[@mickflack1391]

Great bivvy just found 1 in stock online real stroke of luck! So far i love it... Please advise if i can remove the inner dome ground sheet and leave the rest of it in? I kinda like to have no ground sheet unless the conditions require it

[@FinFactor]

Is the Frontier XD Bivvy, without the inner dome, suitable for two anglers? (two beds and luggage)

[@jimr8792]

No check carpforum frontier topic you can see pics off mine with a Trakker oval bed and junior bed, 2 normal beds is to tight.

[@andizgarta6773]

Are there going to be 2 person Frontier bivvys? When are they coming out?

[@frosty2331]

Wish it was that easy to pack down got the X today it's to heavy pack down is crap and can't do barn style door if you can explain the door style I may keep it I have the titan pro to and at moment I think the titan will be my bivvy of choice

[@TheSmokemup]

Had this baby for about 8 months now and still can't pack it down properly he says in the video as easy as that but doesn't put it back in the bag fox can you please make a video of how to fold the frontier back up as the two shorter arms are causing me hell of a problem

[@CH-tt8gk]

Looks way too small , I’ll pass

[@lordamercy5609]

lets get this straight im not trying to be an annoying troll here , but that doorway is crazy small! i just dont understand why ? easy access/exit is literally one of the most important functions of a fishing shelter, why is there always such an overemphasis on features that really serve no purpose when the obvious problems are overlooked. lets face it if your taller than 5 foot 10 youre leaving that doorway on your knees

[@rickyrankin4791]

Good advert …. Setting it up tiny as possible 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@saltstream]

Nice video Harry. Looks like a nice Fox shelter. I am confused however, why you would demonstrate this Frontier bivvy "exclusively" on it's lowest setting. I'm sure the Hobbit brigade will be over the moon, but as far as I can see [from reading many comments on various other video's] most people are fed up with back breaking Tempest, Hide type brollies which are way too low for the majority of anglers. Personally, I would have liked to see this standard Frontier on it's max height setting.

[@Kingcarparpeggio]

I agree. It’s time these companies stopped cow-towing to silly little cultist boys and make stuff focussed on the majority of us that just want good sensible effective gear.

[@bpflyfish]

Gr8 vid would love to see 1 on the xd as I'm thinking about buying it. B gr if u could cheers

@@colinbailey6236 so now you're saying trakker copied nash? Does it really matter, most tackle companies sell things that are almost identical to eachother.

[@colinbailey6236]

@@elleaton23 that's not the implication. If Fox's response to a suggestion that their current product is similar to another manufacturer's product is "we made something 17 years ago"...but when you look at the item of 17 years ago, you actually see it was more like another manufacturer's product which predates the item they are declaring as their defence. It's a fairly ridiculous thing for Fox to say. My legal advice to Fox would be to not respond at all. It's dragged them down this path.

It’s a shame I feel rip off buying the XD stating it’s a two man is it hell that will be the last I will purchase a fox product misleading your customers is a no no I’ve emailed no response The XD frontier is good size for one bed and can house two people in during the day but definitely not a 2 man with beds unless you want you mate stepping on you when he’s having a bite or getting up for a piss Everyone on the bank saying was going to buy but seeing it definitely not a two man be warned
