Lone Rider Adv Tent | First Use

[@philoubxl9176]

This is the best and funniest presentation of this tent that I have seen 👍

[@lightweightadv]

😂 Thank you 👍🏻

[@Rosb1ff]

I was waiting for "dirty end" then I would have had a full house playing double entendre bingo. Very entertaining chaps, your best vid for a while.

[@lightweightadv]

Haha thanks mate, yeah we had a lot of fun filming this one 😂

[@PahsimeroiADV]

Thanks for another fun video lads. It’s always good to keep up with your travels. I’ve collected lots of great advice and riding tips from y’all even though I live across the pond in Idaho USA. Cheers and safe travels 🍻

[@lightweightadv]

You're more than welcome mate. I bet you get some ace camping in Idaho 😎

[@philpicton716]

What a giggle. It’s always fun putting up a new tent for the first time and this was no exception. That said, being a seasoned motocamper I can definitely say that I’d have had my Redverz up and running in a fraction of the time and more importantly without assistance. Yes it’s a big tent with a fairly large pack size but on the GSA it’s not a problem and when I need a smaller pack size I use my 2 man Husky on……wait for it….my Husky!!! Yeah I know Brand Tart lol That said, there are some really nice features on this tent that other manufacturer’s could easily incorporate. Great video boys as usual 👍

[@lightweightadv]

Brand tart! Haha. Yeah, we'll get far quicker and slicker than this, it's a very simple set up really. The pack size is no biggie (pun intended), it's a fair trade off for thicker materials and a decent amount of space 😎👌🏻

[@lightweightadv]

Thanks Phil, yep can’t argue with any of that. We have other tents that are rapid to put up and I suppose it all depends what you are after for your adventure eh. Gotta say though, I love the Husky match up 👌😂

[@markust8904]

I love the banter, a few laughs at each others expense, now if i was on my own it would be cursing after cursing but i'd figure it out. No one to share the joy, and have a laugh. The Lone Rider in question looks fairly easy to set up. I have one but at this point the provinces in British Columbia and Alberta in Canada are burning so i havent had the chance to try the tent. How quick can you dissasemble the tent and on your way with a forest fire coming in your direction. Cheers.

[@lightweightadv]

We've not tested it against a forest fire 😳, but it can be collapsed very fast, especially if you're not as concerned with packing it perfectly

[@Trevsadventuremotocyclin-uq6wr]

Looking forward to doing some bike camping this year 👍

[@lightweightadv]

It's always good to get out there, isn't it 😎👌🏻

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

joined the club, had mine up last week having sold my vango mirage pro 200, like this, bit of a faff getting the outer up first if it is pissing down, but a few more tries so I get it down to a T

[@lightweightadv]

I actually think it's an easy tent to set up, just needs a tiny bit of practice. Not used it in the rain yet...but I'm sure I will 🫠

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

@@lightweightadv same, my Vango Mirage Pro all went up in one, was also free standing, but having owned and used the Coleman Cobra and bedrock tents, I like the idea of having two openings for flow of air and just getting in and out, the Coleman are both similar in this way but weren't free standing. This tent will get used and abused over the next few years on my trips.

[@stephenscott6570]

How is an “Adventure” tent different from a camping tent?

[@robertcampbell9593]

Decathlon forcalz 2 man tent . Great wee thing so easy to put up 2 doors and about 100 quid 😊 . Have a look at them

[@lightweightadv]

Is it a free standing tent? I need a free standing for my trip this year. Also, one that doesn't need the outer fly sheet. Will check out the forcalz, decathlon make some decent gear

[@robertcampbell9593]

Yes, free standing .the great thing is it's 3 poles, and the main poles come to a dead end . So you only secure one end . They also fit in a pannier

[@jaderides]

This looks almost identical to my MSR Elixir tent, with the exception of SOS message and warning triangle 😅 a bit different to the bivvy idea haha

[@lightweightadv]

It's almost like they might have seen one before 🤫. Still use the bivvy, but only when it's mostly nice weather 😂

[@jaderides]

@@lightweightadv 🤣 haha I'm yet to try a bivvy, if there's any money left over after the house purchase I might go for a mini trip and camp to save money but I do like my little 1 man MSR - it's cosy 😅

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Ahh..the old Ealing Comedy tent ' erection' routine...😂😂. But seriously, looks like a decent tent. Years ago at the Adventure film festival i had borrowed an ancient tent a friend used on the Artic survey expedition. As i hopelessly struggled with this bloomin tent the chap next to me set up an amazing tarp based camp, and the young lady opposite having sorted her tent in a few minutes just came over and with a look of pity in her eyes took over and sorted it out!! Austin Vince would have disowned me 😂😂 Cheers Steve

[@lightweightadv]

I think he would have enjoyed watching a man struggle with an ancient tent 😂. Bring it along to the. Lightweight fest and I'll get him to watch

[@frogclip1]

Hi. Bit of a random question but what were the straps you used to tie down the tent please and what length?

[@lightweightadv]

They're the Giant Loop prong horn straps. They come on a variety of lengths. For cheaper, but equally as strong versions in the UK, check out advproducts.com or dualsporteurope.com 👍🏻

[@roxjeruben]

I'll be sure to mention this to my brother who is a ktm rider @1:20

[@lightweightadv]

The perfect tent for him 😂

[@Adv_Charlie]

Goes together just like an MSR tent. The set up is just like my elixir 2

[@lightweightadv]

Almost identical, some might say 😏

Always roll your tent flaps underneath. That way if it rains you dont get water on the inside.

[@lightweightadv]

Interesting....which flaps? 🤔

[@kaspersergej]

The thing with this Tent is that LoneRider is not a tent company. The tent packs way too large, is too heavy and too expensive. There are much better tents from tent/outdoor companies (Forclaz MT500 2P, Durston Gear X-Dome as two examples). However, very well done and amusing video!

Sometimes. We're advocates for packing for whatever trip you're planning on. A tarp sometimes, a tent others. I think I now have 5 different options 😂🫠

What a fantastic comment 😂😂

[@Nordkapp65]

Have my LR adventure tent since late 2021, only two flaws in the design, but it withstands the rain very well. Flaw one, the vestibule should have the tarp, instead your gear sits on wet ground and unless you do yoga your knees rest on the ground as you wangle your way into the tent😮. My solution is a kneeling pad for the entrance and that I slip underneath the tent bag strapped to the bike. Second flaw, the tent is not high enough inside, again, if you are into yoga you can get dressed and undressed no bother😅 The first tent you erected is the standard way to erect this tent

[@lightweightadv]

The small pad is a great idea! I don't mind the height, I must admit. I'm used to getting dressed into my bike kit sat down now 😅

[@Nordkapp65]

@@lightweightadv kneepad stops the mud crap getting in and keeps kit clean. Looking forward to pitching mine again in Spain

[@joshb3929]

Looks a bit big tbh, doesn’t pack very small.

[@lightweightadv]

It's not tiny, no. It's just a bit wider than my nature hike which is 1.8kg. It's always going to be long, due to the poles I suppose

[@onahi2002]

Do not call it a dry bag. It's not a dry bag. If you put the tent away wet. And then put the tent in your pannier, the water will drain from the tent , and soak all your kit. Why LR couldn't manufacture a proper dry bag instead ? Also, bin the original pegs. They are made of cheese. Ok if erecting in green grass blighty, but as soon as you go south, stoney, gravel dry solid ground...... purchase decent pegs.

[@grahamrowe6278]

Too low a headheight. Not enough vestibule space for the bulky riding gear (often wet!!) to be stores outside the inner, but not still pressing on the inner. Without the addition of a tarp (...yes, more kit!) ...bigger, higher tent, or even one or two of the carp fishing bivis out there.

[@lightweightadv]

You can easily sit up in the tent, and the 2 vestibules are pretty spacious, certainly enough for boots, trousers, jacket and panniers 👍🏻
