I like my One Tigris, right about the 'airflow' mate - excellent flexibility

[@simonjones6225]

Mark is the camping buddy you can rely on 😊

[@daveshirley]

I'm definitely a tarp man, but keep looking at this tent. The little angel on my right shoulder keeps telling me I don't need it. But the devil on my left is shouting I want it. Think I will need to watch this a few more times to make my mind up 🤔😉👍

[@frogmaster83]

I really like it. For size v weight and price, it takes some beating.

[@gorillaz2458]

Looks like a good camp despite the weather, good old British weather lol. My mate has a Wild Country Helm 1 Compact and that has a zipped door for the vestibule storage on the side opposite to the entrance which is similar to Mark's tent. Works well from what I've seen but like you say, not many tents seem to do it. The Backwoods Bungalow looks pretty solid too, I've recently tried out a OneTigris hot tent and mesh tent I bought and I have been impressed with the quality and design. Now I need to resist the urge to buy even more gear I can probably do without - the joys of camping lol

[@frogmaster83]

The is always something that I want. 😁

[@texmexia49]

That looks so fun and peaceful, love the birds!

[@frogmaster83]

We had fun, even if it was a bit wet. 😂

[@ChrisWoutdoors]

I feel your pain, I spent 14 hours in my Phoxx2, was the longest camp ever so had to sleep the hours away... Great baby blue whale tent Markys got there...🤣

[@frogmaster83]

Not really my idea of fun. 😒

[@user-zm2yj2us2d]

Groovy tent Marc has. Giving off a 60's hippie feeling!

[@Dug_Out]

It's a great tent that held up in the rain for me last year, although it's best in the warmer months. I face mine east to catch the sunrise through the trees in the morning as I keep the awning open all night. Great stuff👍

[@frogmaster83]

Sounds great!

[@EdwinFeliu]

Jim, Amazon has it more expensive than the website you linked, thanks bro!

[@davidhopper5205]

Great tents, I luv mine! Even though I tend to use the now discontinued Tigerden model which is a lot larger most trips.

[@tamirew9247]

Yes, quite loving your longer content!

[@frogmaster83]

It just depends on what I am doing on the day. I dont plan videos, they just happen. 😁

[@ericahill1965]

Love the video, new sub...saw you camping with MDM Outdoors(Mark) 😊

[@frogmaster83]

Thanks for the sub! Marc and I have been friends for a few years. We work at the same company. 👍

[@Irishsniper79]

Love my onetigris backwoods bungalow

[@ericj.w.ruijssenaars3421]

Thanks for sharing! Just spend two nights in the forest. Just the outer of my Husky piramide tent, an old thermarest mat and a vintage wool blanket. Loved to see the old camping gear being used 🤠👍.

[@frogmaster83]

The old gear is great.

[@shez81]

Not once in my 43yrs have I been camping, but maybe 1 day I will

[@frogmaster83]

Worth giving it a go. 👍

[@Stoafasaki]

Great video...And really appreciated the fact that you weren't reminding everyone to "like and subscribe" every 2 seconds. So I liked and subscribed :-). I bought the same OneTigres tent as an alternative to the hammock, and absolutely love it...Especially the built-in porch mode option for the front. Also need to try that Pot Noodle flavor. Not so easy to get here in the States. Cheers Chief!

[@frogmaster83]

Thanks for the sub! I hate channels that ask for support. My thinking is that if its interesting enough, people will come back. KZbin is just a hobby for me, to be perfectly honest I dont really care if people watch or not. I just enjoy making the videos of my outdoor fun. 👍

[@Stoafasaki]

No end to the bleedin’ rain! I do like that tent Allan. Enjoyable vid 👍Ben

[@frogmaster83]

Glad you enjoyed it Ben. I have never known a winter so wet as this one. 😒

[@owenmorse3136]

This tent ⛺️ in this video was a fast improvement on the tent in the last video , the Vango brand you can't go far wrong with and its a good price to buy new from the store 👍, it's a shame about the rain I would like to have seen the improvement on the knife working, you had problems but good 👍 video .

[@frogmaster83]

I like to mix things up a bit. 😁

[@Greg_M1]

I enjoyed seeing the Backwoods Bungalow in use in weather. I own one, but have not yet used it, mostly because I've been backpacking long'ish trips and the 3lb+ weight of the bungalow has had me choosing my lighter tent options. However, I expect to use it this year. I got it because of how 'comforting' the design is... huge mesh door, outer door makes into adjustable awning, side flaps block wind from the sides, great ventilation w/ back-bottom flap, etc. A lot of tent, and modeled after its historical baker's tent ancestor used in days gone by. Thanks again.

[@frogmaster83]

Its a great tent. I use it all year round, but its at its best on the hot summer nights.

[@johanvanbeek7138]

Got the very same tent but in OD green as this was the cheapest colour. I usually use some sticks to prop up the back vent guides lines as I find this really helps in opening up that vent. Would like to buy the Stella 4 season for winter when I get the cash to do so too.

[@frogmaster83]

Good tip! 👍

[@thecreeper6799]

I got one of these and I love it!!!! I been caught in a torrential downpour with the awning open on both sides with one tilted down and took no water! Most amazing night I had with it 😊😊😊 I highly recommend the ground sheet that they make for it and the 2 poles for a perfect setup! Nice and crisp! I use 2 trekking poles for the awning. This hands down is my favorite tent I've ever owned in ever 😂😂😂 I've thought about buying a second one incase my current one gets damaged or worn out. That's how much I love this tent lol Great vid by the way!!! ❤

[@frogmaster83]

Thanks for your comment, I am a big fan of this tent too. Love it in the summer with the door wide open.

[@thecreeper6799]

@@frogmaster83 yeah me too! It's so nice! When I set it up I actually feel like I have a home base set up. I bring a table to my right and I sit in a comfy ultralight chair under the canopy and it's so relaxing to feel the shade and breeze while yer shielded from the harsh elements with the door acting as an awning from elements above. I had the best sleep I've had in a while. 😜🤪😜🤪 and I only took in 3 tablespoons of water (at most) cuz I pitched it in a low spot where a puddle had formed on the outside under my footprint layer. Was an amazing night! The thunder, the wind, the downpour! I slept like a baby ! 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤

[@hazzardoutdoors]

Keep eyeing up this dam tent. But it's gone up in price as one tigress has proved their kit.

[@frogmaster83]

Definitely one I would recommend mate.

[@JasonWicklund]

There are copy cats on Temu, if you shop there.

[@lardyguts2]

there s a canvas version of this tent now, i may have to get it to have a fire under the porch

[@frogmaster83]

Now that sounds good.

[@gavinstrachan1373]

I run scout troop we still use. Canvas 6 man patrol tents am old school peg down with wooden pegs 2 main guys peged in solid tent with Hessian sod cloth bottom and you can stand up in them love camping children enjoy outdoors yes they take bit time getting up but we sleep them. For week good solid tent with wooden poles 😅

[@Taffwildmanofthewoods]

Hi Allan, you have lovely deciduous woods in your part of the world. It's all managed conifer plantations in Wales nevertheless it's better than nothing. I feel your pain regarding the rain, I was out recently with Twin Peaks Outdoors and we spent most of our time in the tents. Take it easy atb Taff 🤠👊

[@frogmaster83]

Hi Taff, this place is an old plantation but mixed. The Pine plantations are ok, as long as they are not planted too close together. Sadly its all about money now.

[@uberdan2836]

i got one of these tents for Christmas a couple of years ago, and the corners leak like crazy

[@crazyhorsejohnny1974]

You might have the first version

[@frogmaster83]

The was problems with the original one, this is the 2.0 version that has been out for a couple of years now.

All that rain was a bit of a bugger, but it made a change I suppose. 😁

[@MetallicrealitE]

@@frogmaster83 lol, indeed

[@JasonWicklund]

Can you fit a low cot in that tent? Not a fan of sleeping on the ground but like the compact baler style of this tent.

[@frogmaster83]

Yes you can, I did it on a camp last winter. Its on this video if you want to take a look at the space etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5qrmYitn5mfb6csi=ssdgvlhBlviOTflY

[@kennethwilson8633]

Keeping the corner of the tent up all night probably kept you dryer inside than it would have been closed ..condensation…Have fun stay safe.

[@frogmaster83]

Yes, airflow is a must with this tent.

[@in0124]

Spectre was a great tent

[@AdventureswithJeffandMeeka]

Good evening, Allen. I just bought the Polmoly Chalet 70 Pro. It may not be as big as my One Tigris Tigamen, but it has a floor and is taller than my f2. I will be able to sit in a chair during bad weather and use my wood stove with it. By the way, did you say Marc was dainty and almost needed cuddles during the night? I love your videos. Have a great time, and stay safe.

[@frogmaster83]

Sounds great! Thanks for watching mate.

[@Acssnipa]

OneTigris Backwoods bungalow(v3) with TC shelter says uses polycotton, better on waterproof and condensation and just only 40 bucks more, can you test that? Please

[@frogmaster83]

I would like one, but sadly I don't have one. 😒

[@sarkybugger5009]

It's a nicely designed tent. I have to ask why you didn't take a tarp, as you knew it was going to rain? It would have made for a much more enjoyable evening.

[@frogmaster83]

I would normally, but the forecast was for rain at 1am.

[@arthurgraham7011]

Great vid as always. Just got this tent myself. Alan, what are the trousers your wearing in the vid please mate?They look just the job.

I see one problem with your camp set up you got the entrance of your tent facing a tree that was stupid idea but I'm not you

[@frogmaster83]

Why a stupid idea? I had to ridgeline between two trees, and find some flat ground. This was the only option in the location. The tree didn't cause any problems. 🙄
