OneTigris Rocdomus Hammock Hot Tent: Set-up and Tour (Pros and Cons)

[@thathikingguy]

Great demo. Glad you have mitigated the “flapping” LOL

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I'm glad SOMEONE caught the flapping line! 🤣🤣

[@Mattatarian]

Just stoked my hot tent lust even more. Must. Get. Hot. Tent. Thanks, Tim!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Keep me posted dude!!

[@outdooriowan]

Man winter camping is awesome. That tent is a palace. Hopefully see you in December.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I'm pretty pumped for some snow too!! What are the December dates again man?

[@outdooriowan]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley December 2-4

[@12STONESADVENTURES]

Buck Norris that looks like an awesome tarp even without the stove! Very roomy and would probably knock all the wind off! Hmmm a hammock taj mahal 😁 I like it either way👍

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It would be perfectly suitable without a stove. I use a Mr. Buddy in it sometimes too.

[@12STONESADVENTURES]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley yes sir. I've got one of those I think it would work!

[@Treyamigos]

Hot tent camping looks like a blast. I hope to get a chance here soon. I would probably have to win the lottery since I have just got started in this stuff and have already spent so much money. But maybe by the end of winter. 🤞

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

There are ways to go budget and build up. I used a Mr Buddy heater in an old Coleman tent I had. I just cut the floor out of it. Keep me posted if you get out and try it!

[@Treyamigos]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley I like that idea

[@TressaZimmerman]

Great video. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Tressa! You ready for a hot tent?

[@SeniorHiker77]

Dang I really like that tent. To bad it doesn't get that cold where I hike. Maybe a trip to SD would work for that tent ⛺ 🤔

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Senior in the winter....I want to be a part of that!!

[@donaldwalentiny3633]

Very nice

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Don!

[@londoncity1]

Nice sharing 😊☺️

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks friend!

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Cool (or should we say hot 🤔🤣) set up Tim!🤩. Although the customer service on those 'pair' of poles sounds pretty awful 😖. We really love the idea of hot tenting, but for us in the UK it is a lot more difficult as our campsites don't allow us to use them because of insurance issues (just in case we set our tents on fire!🤣🙈). Anyway great honest review, we will look forward to seeing you use this this winter😊👌

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I've got many burn holes to prove the UK's paranoia! 🤣🤣

Nice set up and review, Tim.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks man!

[@NicoleHikesalot]

Always appreciate your honest opinion and you sharing your customer service experience. A lot of great stuff about this tent. Nothing insane about hot tenting. Awesome pros and cons.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Nicole....but you know we are all a little crazy.😀

[@backpackingadventures4813]

I have a regular hot tent but you are making me want the one for the hammock. I’m going to check it out. From your experience would you be able to fit two hammocks in with a spreader bar (at the head end and away from the stove) without setting one of the occupants on fire and going out on a blaze of glory? My niece is now onto hammocks and she loves my hot tent so figured I’d look into merging them together. Great video! 👍

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Hey Dan! I think it COULD be done but I haven't tried it yet.

[@backpackingadventures4813]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley thanks! I think I’ll get it and if it doesn’t fit I can at least use it for me on solo trips OR just use it with ground sleeping. Then it would be massive.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@@backpackingadventures4813 it is huge. Nearly too much space for my little stove! 2 cots fit well and 3 people could fit easily if you skip cots and go to the ground.

[@GratefulTrekker]

You sure taut that tent 😁😎✌️

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

🤣🤣bahahaha

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Hammock camping has been a game changer for me , this might be the next game changer. Thanks Tim !

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's a pretty cool fort! 😀

[@Doc_Watson]

Nice video. From what I've seen on YT, you are not the only one with customer service issues. Glad you like the tent. Getting something like that for the New England winters is tempting.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Do It Doc! You know you want it! Hit me up if you need any advice!

[@boopernator]

My first experience with a Hot Tent was with a buddy at a Big Paintball Game in Wisconsin. He wanted to test out his Canvas pole tent with the stove, he had a trip planned for Montana and wanted to be ready. It was pretty cool having that stove heating the tent at night we slept pretty comfortably. Thanks for sharing another excellent video, I always learn someone new and have a few laughs while watching.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's made winter less depressing for me I know that much! Canvas is the better way to go if you don't have to haul it! Thanks Daniel!

[@DravinD81]

Which hammock is that? Loving the color 😁

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's a Superior Gear Hammock. They are spendy but the underquilt is integrated. I'm telling you.....for me, I would never purchase another hammock from another company. These are hands down, the BEST for me!!

[@AudiaciousLife]

stove at an end is good if youre sleeping multiple ppl with cots or such. if it was in the middle it would mean that no one could lay on that side of the tent unless at angle.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

That's a good point! I usually hammock in this tent solo though so in my case it would be better towards the middle to distribute the hear better to both ends.

[@AudiaciousLife]

@Backpacking with Buckley ya it is marketed mainly has a hammock tent so agree it would be better but think they did it like they did for other use cases

[@mentalllllll]

Another thing I meant to inquire about us what is this particular tent like when dealing with heat retention? I own this tent along with a hammock and stove. I got it in case of disaster striking. In other words an shtf situation arising. Sure would like to know ahead of time what I'm getting myself into should the need arise.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It is not insulated so it requires a constant heat source (fire) to stay warm. However, it does retain heat very well when the fire is going.

[@mentalllllll]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley Thank you for the info. Thatvmost definitely will come in handy.

[@markcummings6856]

Great video. And the practicality even for non hammockers looks promising. Just hang a ridge line. Used as a tent, hang out area for large groups, etc.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's badass as a stand alone tent too.

[@xxgg]

Need snow skirts !!! More importantly, how well does this do in a strong wind?

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It does really well in high winds. The shock chord guy lines allow flex. I use deck screws instead of regular tent stakes to really make sure it's secure.

[@xxgg]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley I just saw a video from another youtuber who have done a high wind/snow condition test and yes this tent does good enough but I wouldn't say it is safe when using a hot stove in those conditions. I also made a comment to that video but I think it would be must better if we can pass through a guideline straight through under this tent, I think that will improve with windy condition strength. I feel like a DIY internal A-frame would be great for this tent as well... basically clone the type of A-frame SnowTrekker hot tents use. Also, the youtuber who was in bed with OneTigris and also collaborated in designing this hot tent jumped shipped to be in with Pomoly bed have collaborated in a similar design hammock hot tent but using a canavas as well. By the way, I absolute love my Superior Gear Hammock. I think it was your video that made me purchase it. (Duty/Custom fee into Canada was NOT fun at all).

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@xxgg glad yoh love the Superior!! Those are some great ideas and I'm well aware of the saga between Onetigris and Pomoly. It's like a soap opera of backpacking right? 😀

[@RhodySeth]

Yessir, winter camping almost here. That tent is cool but man that’s a lot of guy lines. Now we just need it to get cold!

[@earendillstar]

Cross over from two of my favorite camping KZbinrs! Hello from Nah Hampsha and looking forward to winter camping as well!

[@Doc_Watson]

I see there's a chance of snow Sat into Sunday this weekend. I'm tempted to go to Livermore. Will probably depend on how hard it's raining on Saturday.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I usually use about half the guy lines but it is an obnoxious amount regardless. Bring on winter buddy!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks man!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Fingers crossed Doc!

[@mentalllllll]

Now when you say temperature are you talking Celsius or Faireinheight?

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Ferenheit. Sorry about that!

Nice setup Tim! Can't wait to get out with the hot tent! There's no better feeling than looking at your wood pile when zipping up the tent for the night. Good as gold! 🤠✌️ I picked up the Agawa Boreal 21 this year. Game on.

[@UpNorthAdventures]

I noticed in the intro there were two tents. Is the larger one the tegimen? I just bought the tegimen and haven't even set it up yet. Just trying to get an idea of the size difference.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

In the intro was my Rocdomus and a HUGE diy tent that my friend Miyagi made. The tegimen seems nice too but heavier.

[@UpNorthAdventures]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley Thanks! I like the way the rocdomus opens up like a bakers tent. Looking forward to more of your hot tent videos👍

Tim looks like a lot of fun with that setup. I hope to get to experience that soon. We’re moving out of Florida in the next 6 months so I might have that opportunity. 👍😎

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD yes!! You'll be closer then! I want to explore that area!

[@yevenstee]

Nice review, Tim. I considered this one but wasn't sure about the material and repair factor with flying embers. We'll see how I like my Pomoly when I get it / use it. I do like the footprint of the Onetigris though. I'm not sure I'll be able to get a cot in the Pomoly if I wanted to have that as an option. We will see.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

The Pomoly is certainly more insulation and better quality overall. I agree though, this tent is a great size!

[@SkitterComic]

SUGGESTION: Put the stove in the center and add a couple more stove pipe sections, and a couple "L" joints, to zig-zag the pipe to the offset hole in the roof. I'm sure you'd need something to prop up the pipe, tho. Could probably make it out of some stiff wiring.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Not a bad plan but I may end up scrapping this little tent for more comfort! 😀

[@EatCarbs]

Pretty sweet tent. Pretty lame about the tent poles. They should be clear about what you are buying. Thanks for the video brother

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Mark. It is too bad they stink at serving customers but I still like the tent!

[@SouthernHike]

Dude thats BS about the poles. I'm ready for some hot tent adventures to watch man!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Won't be too long I hope man!! Bring on the snow! Miss you buddy!

[@ymlas02]

When it comes to customer service, there is no isolated incident. If it happens to anyone it can happen to anyone else.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

True statement.

[@SalmondOutdoors]

Nice! Shame to hear about the pole though, if a company makes that much of a mistake just send out the other one and fix the mistake 🙄

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Right? They were quite snide and pissy with me about it too.

[@SalmondOutdoors]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley Stuff like that makes me not want to purchase from them…

[@CarlsonAdventures]

That's why Ben needs to make some tents....so we can get good service! Haha.

[@mikeghost7788]

Great video my friend! To be honest, I'm not a fan of all these videos, makes me miss your dumb face!!! 😔 Anywho, would you recommend those screws for the luxe mini?? And if so how many does it take sir? 🤔 Oh and I am thinking maybe spring will be the beginning of some hammock exploration. Dad gets bored lol.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

The screws are a game changer for ice or frozen ground. I usually use 8 stakes I think for the Luxe? We will figure it out on our Turkey day shakedown.

[@mikeghost7788]

Copy that

[@stonedapeadventures]

shame they screwed you over on something so easily fixed, not to mention they have not changed the "typo".

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It's why I go for cottage companies when possible. OneTigris doesn't give much of a shit about customers it seems. Luxe doesn't either.

[@stonedapeadventures]

@Backpacking with Buckley can add pomoly to the list as well, it's seems we are only left with seek outside and lite outdoors for backpacking tents

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@@stonedapeadventures pomoly is another rather lame one. I agree!
