Scorpion 2 Snugpak Tent, UPDATE, Quick Setup, Overview

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

Great updated Wayne. Every tent has it pros and cons. For me, if it stays up in storms and keeps me dry I can usually deal with the rest. This looks like a pretty good tent.

[@kullcraven]

Exactly that is what matters to me as well. Thanks Dawn and ATB.

wayne, i use the snugpak bunker tent, it is a three man 4 season tent, similar setup but has the more needed extra room, great tent. As a taller ( 6' 4" ) person i needed the room, i might put in an additional person but certainly no more than that, also when i put the inner portion with the outer portion i than decided that they would be kept together, it took me awhile to put together. Great review, Snugpak makes a great tent..........

[@kullcraven]

Yeah Ben i leave mine together as well, just put the poles in and done. This one does what is needed and very well, just not alot of room, tho kept my gear and myself dry :)

Great review Wayne. Snug pack makes quality gear for sure, have some myself. Thanks for sharing and it was good to chat with you at the Gathering, hopefully we will get there next year!

[@kullcraven]

I hope we get to chat again, I would have liked to see the camp you was talking about. :) Take care and ya that was small like a cave but warm and dry as well. :)

[@jacqueline7118]

Hopefully next Gathering I will have pictures of the completed camp! Just remember to keep in mind, it will be my first! haha! :)

Great Overview on the Scorpion 2 Tent. Perfect size for a hiker and even better it does what it suppose to do, keeping you dry and comfortable out in the element. Thanks for sharing with us and Best Regards -Yves

[@kullcraven]

You seen and heard my thoughts first hand, It did well, alittle small with my gear but hey, still was nice. ATB.

[@stevedarnall8556]

Thanks for the info on the tent and another great video Wayne !

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Steve, for watching liking the tent. Water proof is a very good feature :)

[@MartyBecker]

Nice review. I have the Scorpion 3. A few weeks ago, I spent 4 nights in mine. No issues at all. Good solid tent. The condensation on the outer portion should stay there and then run down to the ground if it gets heavy enough. That is the benefit of the outer and clipped inner. -- Marty

[@kullcraven]

Your correct the condensation does not effect you inside. The 3 is larger but also more weight, so both have their benefits. :)

[@Edogawa1117]

Nice review. Condensation is always an issue but you stayed dry so that's good.

[@kullcraven]

Your right, we are still having chilly nights and warm to hot days, so it expected. Thanks for watching and take care.

[@EatCarbs]

Seems like a pretty nice tent. Thanks for the video

[@kullcraven]

Thanks Mark, it worked pretty sweet man, with gear alittle cramped but doable :)

[@centraltexassurvivorpreppe7750]

Seems like an excellent tent!

[@kullcraven]

I enjoyed it and having a waterproof tent is rare these days. :)

[@keithshwalbe6981]

Thank you for your helpful and honest views.

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Keith and appreciate the comment. Stay safe.

[@journeyman7189]

A nice looking tent Wayne. Thanks for the review. Have you ever used it without the inner? How was it? Any idea on the weight of the tent minus the inner tent?ThanksNate

[@kullcraven]

No i have them joined together all the time and just set it up fast, with the poles. Always had bugs when i used it , so always used the inner but had it in rain a few times and it worked awesome.

[@tomritter493]

Nice tent funny how the poles go along the sides .well it worked !! Again nice tent take care brother

[@kullcraven]

Designed for storm weather, loving that feature. :) ATB Tom fella.

[@pangeria12]

Just a few questions. Is this a two person tent . its it lightqeight backpacking tent? How much does it weigh?

[@kullcraven]

Thanks , I am liking it, I posted a link in the description, that will er the details about it.

[@randal1470]

Yeah man, that snugpack worked great for you. I think I want a bigger one though. The old Eureka I was in next door put a hurtin on my back 😄

[@kullcraven]

It was a cave in ways, but a dry cave and did what was needed. lol ATB.

[@surthrival]

Solid review. Very well done Thank you.

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Drew

[@surthrival]

@@kullcraven Say, you have a great lilt to your voice and speech, where abouts are you from?

[@kullcraven]

Eastern Canada :)

[@buckmaster3594]

FYI...from experience of 50 years, it is better to put all of your poles in before you start bending them in place.

[@kullcraven]

I leave the inner in this tent now, thanks for the advice about the poles.

[@buckmaster3594]

@@kullcraven .....Kc...I just picked up a scorpion 2 for 199 at Amazon...(tan). Nice unit...take care....TK

[@kullcraven]

@@buckmaster3594 That is very cool , great find . :)

[@bobbyharper8710]

Looks like what I call three season winter tent. Too hot for summer.

[@kullcraven]

Around here it makes a great summer tent . but last night it was single digits where i went camping lol.

[@stevennelsonmn]

Hey Wayne, Thanks for the video. I have the Snugpak Scorpion 3 tent (it's a bit larger (3 man) than the Scorpion 2). I usually use a tarp under the tent and the tarp extends into the porch area. I also usually bring a small rug to use at the entrance (like the ones you get as welcome mats for the house with a rubber bottom). This gives me something to kneel on when getting in the tent an keeps my knees clean and dry. If I was backpacking or something I would probably leave the rug and maybe the tarp at home. So it may depend how far the stuff needs to be carried.Also, since the Scorpion tents are made to setup fly first, you could just pitch the rain fly if you didn't have to deal with bugs. I have been very happy with my Scorpion 3 for the past 3 years. Info can be found at www.proforceequipment.com/products.php?id=25God Bless!Steve

[@kullcraven]

Steve I know a friend of mine has a scorpion 3 and he loves it,ay just alittle larger. It all depends also on wight and size, since these are meant to be bacl packing tents as well. Appreciate you letting me know what you have dine. Thanks.

[@terryw.milburn6414]

Well, Buddy, She sure did ya well for the 5 day stay. T F S ATB " T " God Bless

[@kullcraven]

Yeah I enjoyed my stay in the tent and knowing it is rainproof means alot, for most are not. ATB and God bless man.

[@sgbradley]

And that's why I'll never buy that style of tent again. I'm 6'4" with one leg but trying to get stretched out is impossible never mind sitting up. I'll stick to a dome or a hammock from now on. Thanks for the review.

[@kullcraven]

These fit certain needs, but at your size, i can see how it would be a pain. Thanks Stephen.
