Hot, Spacious & Light - OneTigris Rock Fortress

[@irvsstella]

I've just got back today after a 7day tour of Scotland, using this tent and the Roar stove. Absolutely fantastic set up to use. And it was throughly tested at John O'Groats, when the light easterly breeze turned into hurricane shatterpants! 😅 Tent was still up right in the morning, although a little damp inside due to the footprint being a separate item. I would say, if you get this tent, get the footprint too, as it forms the template to set your tent perfectly. We realised this the day after! We survived though and will go back again for another epic tour of Scotland. *note to self, bring more whisky! 😅

That is how you do a review. All the facts without a bunch of blathering on. Nice job.

[@mairimacleod3335]

Thanks so much for this video - it convinced me to get one! I camped out in the Trossachs in my Rock Fortress in minus 5 temps with an Outbacker Firebox. It was toasty warm and bags of room. A good compromise if you want the space but don't want to shell out for a bell tent that needs to be dried out for days if it gets wet. Get a good sleep system for when the stove cools down at night.

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

For the same pack size and weight of a Dutch army tent but 5 times the space, I would say this is a winner. 👍

This is a very very good video and I just got this tent for Christmas and we are planning a trip in Feb. Thanks to you I know a little more about this tent and I set it up in my back yard and slept out in the new tent and I am ready now to take this tent to the mountains, and have a 3 night campout and your video here has been very valuable as a teaching tool. Thank you so much

My wife purchased the OneTigiris Rock Fortress tent for me for my birthday. I can't wait to try it out. I shoulder her your video for her to get an idea of how big it was. Thank your for doing the video on the tent.

i bought a used one today at a thrift store for $20 bucks... didnt know anything about it. Thanks man... nice video

[@carlredman7173]

Thanks Andy. An excellent review as usual. I am inspired to start camping soon having watched your videos during the pandemic period. Thanks and keep it up. Regards Carl

I have been eyeballing the Pomoly Mantis, but this is a nice little simple set up. Me likes!! Thanks for the review Andy!

[@melissabenoit9641]

Wow!! This tent is like a 5 stars hotel!! Awesome video andy 😀👍👍

Nice, well polished review.😃 The extra work you are putting into reviews lately is really paying off and shining through, thanks for that.😀 Be well Andy😊

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

I enjoy this tent I run a packer stove in it at deer camp only thing I need a stove pipe extender looks like you have that also

[@TheAngelOfDeath01]

Wow... a light-wight summer version, almost, of the Bear Market tent. And there certainly is plenty of room inside. You can fit bed, stove with oven, especially with the center pole removed, a table, two chairs, battery pack, etc. And if you are ambitious, you can get a rug with a water-proof bottom or the kind of rugs you can put on a porch or balcony and that will do nicely for flooring.

[@richardsunday1612]

I got this last summer for a festival and it’s huge, also got the official inner tent which is perfect for settling down in the evening, not used a stove yet

[@andrewforrest8938]

Awesome review Andy on the Rock Tigris tent bags of room inside, I've had a great night in the Russian Bear tent, I'm going to creep round the wife be nice to her and see if she can buy me one of those RockTigris tent thanks Andy for a awesome review and info 😀 👍

[@SkiLLzRico]

Im looking at getting this one for me and my gf and a couple of camp beds. Looks comfy af, im probably going to get a ground sheet too.

[@adam.miles1985]

just bought one, bought a hikeman XL footprint tarp to go with it. I can't wait to try it out. Great video

[@RobGriffiths]

Nice review. Ordered one after watching Simon's videos with one. I'm looking forward to not having to crawl in and out of my wee Vango Meteor :)

[@gcruishank9663]

Nice, looks like a great tent, really like the loop on the top for a ridge line and the center zippers and how the stove is more centered in the tent. I have two Luxe tipis but will check this out.

[@robtathome]

Thanks for translating the metric!

[@jalleman61]

Great review and I agree that 2 people with gear makes a healthier environment. I REALLY was waiting on that swing cat tho.lol

[@claramullen]

I agree that the center placement of the stove Jack seem better then at the side. I wish that tent makers would come up with a better way to gauge how many people will fit in a tent there so no way you would be putting people in them the way the diagram shows. Take care Andy

[@brianmabin5947]

Andy, since you've had Pomoly and One Tigris and maybe a few others, how would you rate these in order of favorite to least, pros and cons and which you are most likely to keep and use regularly? Thanks!

[@steveipswich]

Thanks for sharing your review on this hot tent 👍

[@davej7458]

The most wonderful tent review that I have seen. I will be checking out your previous presentations soon. What if the area you camp in is considered a rain forest? Does that tent ventilate well enough to dry things out without having additional rain fall in the tent when it is set up in days of continuous rain?

[@stellarhodes4162]

Excellent review, as usual Andy!

[@JEBOOUTDOORS]

Great review, will definitely look into buying one of these.

[@julianharvey6584]

Hi Andy, slow;y getting my cold kit together. Just done a 3 gale setup in Cornwall , 60 mph winds using my Aquaquest 4.5M defender tarp which was faultless. Just the 4th gale would have deprived me of too much more sleep lol. I have bought a Bell tent village eco 4k Stove that works well and in a couple of days The one Tigris fortress arrives. So whats needed? A decent cot bed and I think I am sorted..Thanky you for the review it helped reinforce my views on equipment..My own YTUBE sone bye for now

[@chrisralph939]

Hi. Love the vids. Could you answer a question for me please? I think I may have found a groundsheet that may possibly fit the Rock Fortress tent, but I need to know the measurements (length) of each snow skirt. Could you possibly take measurements and let me know please? Hope you don't mind. Thanks in advance, Chris.

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

The one issue/question I have with this tent is the length of the stove pipe needed. A 2m pipe seems just too short to clear the height of the tent. What is your experience, is a 3m pipe needed or will the 2m pipe do?

[@Shadow_Wraith]

My flue is 9ft, it's not long enough. Even with a spark arrester I ended up with 3 small holes in mine. I've since bought another section of flue to make it a bit over 10ft and hope that it helps prevent further holes. I have an Outbacker Firebox for reference.

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

@@Shadow_Wraith Thanks for the info. 10 feet is roughly 3meters.

[@JT-pr8yn]

This is sat in my amazon basket... Usually my msr elixr 2 is ample but my little boy just started coming with me so loads of room and knowing he's not going to get cold is a no brainer. Been waiting on a reputable review from someone like Andy before I clicked "buy it now" 👍

[@johndebolt5853]

Hi Andy, thanks for the great video as always. I loved the title...enough room to swing a cat. Lmao. Be well.

[@bwillan]

I'd like to see a comparison of this tent against the Pomoly Bromance 70.

[@Shadow_Wraith]

I've had mine since early November and lived in it full time for about a month. It stood up to heavy rain and 50+mph Scottish Highlands winds. What I don't like about it the material, set it up so its nice and taught, then it rains and becomes all baggy so you need to adjust it all again, then it dries out and becomes dangerously drum tight so have to adjust it all again and so on. I wish they would use 600D polyester, yes it's heavy but we'll worth it. Also the hole in the stove jack is huge, I have an Outbacker Firebox stove which only has a 60mm flue, from memory the hole is 90mm. What I did was use a silicon baking sheet, cut my own hole and slip that over the flue and cover the existing stove jack with it to keep the rain out. The pegs are crap, they were replaced the first time I set it up, they're way too short and the webbing slips over the top of them. The room is a huge positive. Shame they'll never be an inner for it because there's nowhere to attach one to inside the tent. For the cost it's ok but there is better out there.

[@robertastbury6364]

Could I ask what size of a chimney would I need. I have just purchased a titanium stove. The chimney does not look that tall. Any advice much appreciated. PS brilliant video it has made my mind up about buying this tent. Thanks Robert

[@oddmanout98]

We love ours Andy. We’ve been in sub zero temperatures in our in Norfolk. With the fire on we needed plenty ventilation as it was so hot in there. But yes chilli in the morning. We did need need to pin ours closer to the ground as it was windy and a draft could get in under the snow skirt, but that would be true for any similar tent. I must say though. It is super stable in windy conditions. Do you know if any of you other tent inners could be hung in this one? Thanks Andy Paul.

[@gregturnbow7089]

I have a seek outside 6 man tee pee and have been running the luxury lite cot but was wondering what kind of cot were you using. I think being higher off the ground would be nice also storage. Is lighter than say a standard cot? Thank you for your time.

[@vinchenzo101]

This is a great review. Thanks Andy. I'm trying to decide whether to get this or if its worth paying a bit extra for a Pomoly Hex. With the hex I like that there's a detachable top, reflective coating inside and an optional inner tent if anyone has any advice or experience with either. Thanks

[@claudelabelle7099]

Great looking tent with lots of room, thanks for the info. Question? If you had a choice of one tent to use and have, which would it be.?

[@ILLDreams]

One question. So when you buy a stove for this style of tent. What would you say is a high enough chimney? Most low priced ones don't come with a flew. Embers burn through tent is my concern.

[@carlsadventures2361]

this is a very good review I've currently got my eye on this tent for hot tenting however which tent stove would you recommend for one person

[@mikef.2951]

It may be waterproof. But what about the floor? If there is no floor would the water not seep in the bottom of the tent?

they don't currently do an inner for this tent but apparently they are either considering or working on it, alternatively you could easily fit one of those 'net tents' often used under tarps inside as there is bags of room. an alternative is the large hussan from pomoly

I have this tent it's not made very well, nothing is double stitched , took 25 minutes to un stick it , was stuck together like it was stored in a extremely hot place. The main pole was broken at the bottom had to fix it before I could use it, stakes are garbage pulled out immediately, had to replace them with good one's, one's included are cheap. Guy line's snapped in 5 mph wind , there not good at all I recommend replacing them with 550 cord , the peak loop can Not be used with a hot tent stove either for any of you guy's new to hot tenting. Zipper on one side ripped out in the first 5 minutes, this also leak's like crazy, nothing is sealed. Sounds like 90% of these reviews are bought and paid for no offense to you man . There's also a really big issue, a standard hot tent stove is going to need 4 extra pipes as 8 feet of pipe don't clear the peak , so sparks or embers are going to hit the tent .

You've got a different tent to me then !! I've been camping in mine for a month now. 3 named storms, torrential rain, hail 75 mph gusts. Sustained winds over 40 mph for 36 hours. Didn't faulter, didn't pull a peg or let a drop of water in.. wind did however rip to shreds my aquaquest defender tarp that has a lifetime warranty, so it says how bad weather was. I really recommend this tent. Sat in it writing this after a month of punishment. Well done OneTigris

[@missogyny4921]

Not sure which tent you’re on about, but it sure as hell ain’t the Rock Fortress that I have had for several years now, which is brilliant. Pegs pulling out is usually caused by them either not being appropriate for the ground you’re on or being put in at the wrong angle. It also works really well with a standard length flue. I think we’re dealing with a severe case of operator error here…
