Reactive Outdoor 3 Second Tent in the Rockies - 3 Secs Tent Setup is Fast & Take Down is Fast!

[@rkf2746]

If Reactive Outdoor would develop a hot tent with similar design, they will have struck gold in the tenting world. Nice video. Beautiful camping area.

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Thank you! Yes, that would be perfect 👍

[@nancysmith4529]

That’s the perfect camping area! That tent is so cool. Really nice tent. You’ll get a lot of use out of it.. even a spot for refreshments!!🍺🍺🍺❤️

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Hi Nancy, and thanks 😊. It's a great place, and the tent is working out great! Will see how it does in the rain 🌧

[@indernaru]

Keep knocking the pegs with that can ... Hey Presto : you'll have your own BEER Fountain ... LoL

[@MrKozanitis]

You forgot to click the top down! Makes a difference in the setting as well as its use/utility/ efficiency afterwards!

[@DindoDaquioag]

And that is where i had a problem. I cannot pull it down to lock it. It’s either a manufacturing defect or this product sucks

[@Wicked_Lady_Memoires]

​@DindoDaquioag it's a little stiff indeed but that's because it will tighten up the whole tent.

[@Wicked_Lady_Memoires]

I have fixt an extra old indoor tent in it. That makes it way darker and gives us an double flooring to prevent waterisseus. It still folds nicely with that. And still fits in the sack.

[@petestronach4949]

yes 🫡👏

[@bwcok7947]

Good to have in the vehicle for emergency! Great video! Had a hard time looking at the tent due to all the scenery. LOL! I would love to see it in person! It appears so vast on the camera but you always hear they never do it justice. Wow!

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Lol, yup, it's an awesome location, and it goes on for days and days. 360 degrees of wilderness, my friend and 0 people.. paradise

Never read the instructions 😂. Great video as always.

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Haha! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🤠

[@NormSimpson-iw5jr]

I got my 3 person yesterday. I live at the Beach. This is perfect for me. I'm a day-tripper and retired. This fits my lifestyle. And it works as Advertised. But when you put it back In the Bag? Yeah, don't leave a Beach towel inside. It makes it really hard to get it back in the bag....😂

[@WaynesWorldUnlimited]

What a fantastic idea I like the new tent 👍

[@stevearita3267]

Cool tent, there are a few other tents out there that advertise quick pop up setup, but I think the one you got is not only quick, but well designed with the fly, windows on both sides, etc. Perfect for car camping...and the "bear can go through one door out the other..", Lol!

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Haha, thanks, Steve! Hopefully, it's bear escape proof 😀👍

[@orangetractorguy8201]

Hey Jimmy. That is a quick set up/take down for sure. Allows for more time enjoying the innovative "peg/stake installer"! Look forward to seeing how the tent works out for you. Be well. Michael

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Thanks, Michael 👍. We'll see how it does in heavy rain. But the beer should be able to take care of any uncomfortable situation 🤣👍

[@damarismarzan5833]

Excellent, it’s very helpful!😃👍

[@paulahavens2764]

New at camping, just bought this tent today, saw your video. Was wondering if you need a ground sheet for the bottom of the tent or is the bottom strong enough that you don’t need one? If a ground sheet is needed do they sell ground sheets for this tent? Your video is great. Have you been in a rain storm with it , how did it hold up?

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Hi, and thank you for the comment 👍. I would use a ground sheet, I think the existing is okay, but I think you'll give the tent longer life by using one. I love this tent! Happy summer camping to you 🤠👍🍻

I want to move back out west so bad I miss the country out there.

[@anthonyshepard9606]

: I believe he still did not read the instructions. He never push down on the locking mechanism to lock the tent. You may ask, what do you mean by this? Where all 4 poles come together at the top, you pushed down on it and it locks the mechanism. I have one. 🐢 🏕 🐢 ⛺️ 🐢 👍

[@jamesgjurovich7893]

are you going to test it in the rain? I saw vids were this product failed in wet weather.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi, I don’t think they’ll last long you need a proper fly on top to keep the rain out. Might be alright just for a night if it’s not raining but I would like to be in there When it’s pouring down rain

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

I agree, but I'll have to test it out long term. I'll have to be in some seriously crappy conditions, which usually only happens when camping 🤣👍

[@martyblackmore516]

Haha I love this tent ⛺️ but packing away I suck at

[@mongolmcphee7791]

Excellent video. Greetings from Scotland. Is this tent light enough to take hiking or would it be murder?

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

It's too heavy for hiking for sure.And it would take up too much space, I think. Thank you for the nice comment 🍻👍

[@johnguest7541]

There is,another video on youtube that the reviewer tried out two of the same tents in the dain and he had puddles in both tents after rain, it is ok trying the tents out in the sun or fine weather, but rain sorts them all out,these tents are not wirth buying so the other reviewer said and you can see the puddles of water inside the both tents. Plus the sarranty is rubbish - 30 days, how nany times you going to use it in 30 days eh!

[@sokodad]

I don’t usually camp in the rain. If it rains I’m out of there. When we take motorcycle trips we use our mountainsmith backpacker tent. This is a quick one I got to set up for the grandkids. Besides they were running a pretty good special on it.

[@tungstenkid2271]

Another gripe ive got is that when mine arrived it was slightly different from the adverts and the youtube vids and I was disappointed that the bug mesh on mine only covered half the exits which meant ventilation on hot days/nights wouldn't be good. I emailed OR about it but they never bothered to reply. PS- I read somewhere that there are early and late versions of the tent, I don't know which version mine is. Also, be aware the tent weighs a hefty 6 pounds which is a bit heavy for backpacking on foot or bicycle, so I think a motorbike or vehicle is needed. Suggestion to the tentmakers- bring out a 1-person version to cut down the weight.

[@Tom-tz9hi]

The 5.9 pound reactive outdoors tent is supposed to be the 1 person tent, no? I was thinking of this for bikepacking, is that really much weight? I havent found any decent cheap tents under 4.5pounds anyway Looked more in to this, every review was that it gets puddled up in rain inside... pass :(

[@tungstenkid2271]

​@@Tom-tz9hi RO's adverts and youtube vids are a confusing mess and its impossible to tell for sure what size tent or its weight or what version you're going to get. RO haven't even bothered to answer my requests for clarification, so my advice to people is to forget RO and buy other brands..:)

[@violetta6280]

Have yet to see a proper pack down of this tent. Wonder why that is missing from every video I’ve seen 🤔 in this video parts of that are cut out.

[@issacfernandez2254]

What size is it

[@liamfisher90]

This is the 3 Secs Tent, not to be confused with the Free Sex Tent 👏🏻😂

[@GAFloppa]

That was like Norm Macdonald delivery hahahaha

[@janetg7605]

What size is the tent pls?

[@jamesgjurovich7893]

where are you at?

[@jackgoodman3052]

At first glance the mechanism of it looks a lot like Coleman's patented instant up tent, except it's waist height not over head height

[@jannasade5772]

Rain?

[@robertbernat]

you forgot to tension the tent ! this is done with the top part .

[@tungstenkid2271]

Puddle Alert !- I've just bought the small sized one, and although workmanship is good, a major design flaw is that the top is not domed or even flat, but actually sags to form a "crater" or rain trap . Don't take my word for it, checkout some vids. The small "top cover" doesn't cover the whole crater, so any rain falling towards the outer edges of the crater will run inwards towards the centre and form a puddle which might then drip down the centre spindle. I'll try making a bigger top cover myself out of spare waterproof material to cover the whole diameter of the crater which should solve the problem.

[@stuyrides5144]

Why does nobody, on any of the reviews of this tent? Click down the top which makes it better. Ffs

[@antonpressing]

Very uncool -> PRICE ?

[@sekainiheiwa3650]

It's raining again Oh no, Too bad I need to pack my tent and spend the night inside my car

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Too small to sleep in that car, Sorry about it.

[@stevejeffries1603]

It's a great idea but it doesn't work it needs to be greatly mproved quality wise

"...the free sex tent." lolol

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Haha, 👍🤠🍺

[@crooked-halo]

Instead of information on tent material, space, comfort, weight, quality, weatherproofing, ventilation, warranty, price, comparisons with other tents, pros & cons, we learn the abbreviation for "seconds" sounds like "sex." We're cautioned against confusing this tent with the "free sex tent," but if you set it up a few times, _then_ it will become the "free sex tent." We do see that it sets up quickly. That's about _all_ we learn. "Meatwhistle," huh? Cool, interesting last name.

[@JimmyMeatwhistle]

Yes, thanks for watching 🍻

[@duaneulman9915]

Yes NO instructions needed :)

[@alanschuetz9552]

You should’ve read the instructions the first time, then you’d know you neglected a crucial step! You have to push the inner rods down to lock it in! In your configuration, it would’ve collapsed. #ID10T P.S. It also doubles as a sunshade, but who needs instructions? SMH

This is litterally the stupidest thing ive ever seen. How anyone thought this tent was a good idea baffles me.

@Sochmo18. Please elaborate why you think this! Otherwise you make an unfounded statement; and, hence, unfair and useless. IMHO
