These videos actually help people with anxiety. Thank you brother 🙏

[@eternalone1353]

This is where we actually belong brother, in the womb of mother nature. She never designed humans for the hectic & stressful life we're leading right now. The artificial world created by us with all it's boundaries, false pride, overrated dignity, social status & rat race, all that make us anxious.

Choice bro. There is something about knowing you are nice and dry whilst the rain buckets down around you. Awesome.

Yea I love the sound man. Was quite loud in this case but still I was comfy. Cheers for watching mate

[@terrieyeakley82]

I love to hear it rain at night and it helps me to sleep also but don't think i'd want to be in a tent when all hell broke loose. Your lucky you didn't get blown away with the high winds. Or washed out by the heavy rains. But im like you , it sounded good coming down. Glad your in one piece this morning. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.

Awesome vdo, I enjoyed the rain too....keep it up👍👍👍

I would love to have a camping cup for when I'm out at my hunting blind. It's similar to a tent but hard sided and I could even spend the night in it if I wanted.

[@ReviloNZwalks]

Nice bro, good to see you stayed dry

[@ioanparry]

I think you've just helped me decide on this tent to buy next, but just the 3 man version, cheers mate 👍👍

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

Did you get it? I'm sorely tempted. I like the design for stability in storms, but anything less than the 3-man looks positively coffin-like to me (a claustrophobic wuss), to be stuck in _during_ said storms.

[@jackienikora259]

Thanks for this vid bro… I just finished looking at Naturehikes tents, now know which tent brand I’m thinking of buying…Thanks for sharing bro👌🏽

Awesome, thanks for the heavy rain test. Helped me decide to get one from Ali. I'm going for the Naturehike Igloo 70D Tent. Its a little heavier, but more suited to alpine conditions. Doing the Molesworth on my motorbike March.

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

Choice. Yea this opalus is more of a 2-3 season tent and im yet to really test its capabilities. Thabks for watching

[@anthonycanavero6127]

I'm also interested with igloo tent, could you let me know what do you think when you have it. I thought about mongar but 3 seasons. Hilleberg IS 4 Season and tunnel like this one but so expensive 😅 i Guess good Price but not affordable. Only problem IS not so much place for 5kg...

[@banditoo7]

@@anthonycanavero6127 OK. Yes it's heavy. One of my main concerns. I'm still in two minds about the investment. The black Friday sales are pretty decent on Aliexpress at the moment.

[@waichungsham1578]

If stuff in the tent gets condensation can the board in a laptop get affected by moisture in a tent?

[@TimmyBobinson]

Hello mate. Can I ask how tall you are? I want to know if I am going to fit easy in the tent. I hate when my feet and head touch the mesh. Thanks.

good video i noticed you had no guide ropes out in the morning - did you use them. Are you still impressed with the tent

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

Yep I used them but pulled them down . Should have shown it in video with them on but wasn't thinking haha

[@Skyush...7]

😑 i like your camping my bro but it very leazyness😂 from india🇮🇳

[@michaeltroster9059]

Not much doubt that this tent will keep you dry, but I wish there was a bit more description of the tent itself, ease of setup etc.

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

Yes I agree. This was my first review and I've learnt alot since then .This review I done recently was much better kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4izoGlufdife5o

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

If you're still watching this comment section; did you find that bedroom pod cramped at all, or was it just sort of cosy for you? I am contemplating the 3 man (so, slightly larger), as I love this design for a storm tent, but I can get a little antsy in close spaces (though, to start with, I would obviously make sure my head was up the more spacious end).

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

Go for the 3 person

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

@@OutdoorsWithCWest cheers! 😄

[@beebs024]

@@mysterylovescompany2657 A little late on this, but your head is technically at the foot end of the tent. Your head is supposed to be closest to the door/vestibule.

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

@@beebs024 the door end _is_ the more spacious end, so we're actually on the same page, here.

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

I sleep both ends. Also if it's raining and super windy rain spray gets under the tent so sometimes I spin around so I'm at the other end. Comfy both ways

[@northernswedenstories1028]

Here a great tip for tunnel tents: use the vestibule to take your morning shit in privacy before you pack up

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

Great tip 👍

[@KB-re4ku]

Where you had your head, how much lower is it than where the door is? Did you just set up that way to shoot the video or do you sleep that way?

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

im 187 cm tall so the tent is abit tight for me. the 3 person has more headroom and length. the Opalus 4 even more room

[@chrisbeetroot]

nice little demo, may I ask how tall you are?

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

210t

[@benjaminzac_Man_Wi_A_Tan]

Greetings mate. Some videos I have seen claim that rain comes in via the vents when their open. Did you experience this issue? I guess it depends on wind direction driving the rain and if your in a sheltered spot or not. ATB.

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

I will have to get out in a windy rainy night and find out. so far zero leaking

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

It's notable that most of those reviews didn't have that vent guyed out properly. I'm keeping an open mind, on account. 😏

[@Pono324]

Quick question, can you fit a cot inside?

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

yea i dont see why not

[@scrumpymanjack]

First person I've ever seen put their head down the "feet" end of this tent.

[@chuckobannon2975]

How big are you I was thinking of buying this tent for my solo nights but I'm 6'2 270 I don't know if I fit

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

I'm 6ft. I would go for the opalus 3 person as its slider wider

[@Gyppor]

Where do you figure the water in the vestibule leaked from?

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

It didn't actually leak. Its because I had the floor tarp poking out and water was running down the outside of the tent onto it. The zip had a slow leak but never really started to drip. Ive since seam sealed around the zip and some other areas on the tent. Thanks for youre question

[@Gyppor]

@@OutdoorsWithCWest Ah, I see! Good to hear!

Hey $10 but I am waiting for more to arrive

[@MrRockstar1968]

The green version of this tent is more water resistant at 4000mm compared to the orange tent at 3000mm.

[@OutdoorsWithCWest]

Correct. The green is a 4 season tent. The orange 210t model is great for the conditions here in New Zealand

[@MrRockstar1968]

@@OutdoorsWithCWest I wouldn't class the green as a 4 season tent either as it does not have skirts around the base of the tent which a true 4 season tent should have, also the internal tent is most made of mesh netting which 4 season tents are not. It is a 3 season tent with better durability to heavier rainfall and is also a lighter wight tent than the orange version due to the material it is made of.

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

My understanding is that the darker colour of the fly also translates to a slightly darker tent (meaning better kips). I'm personally considering that one.

[@MrRockstar1968]

@@mysterylovescompany2657 After having now used this tent I find it annoying due to how low the tent is and it's lack of ventilation. On a hot summers day it was unbearable and like sitting inside an oven and due to the porch vestibule area not having a groundsheet this cause a lot of condensation to build up inside the tent.
