The Decathlon 2 second tents are a staple in German festival culture. They are quite perfect for that. You carry enough stuff anyway to the camping grounds, so weight and size are not so big of a deal. They are quite reasonably priced and surprisingly waterproof for what they cost. Had mine for nearly 10 years now and it still holds up

As a 55 year old with mobility issues and a phobia of bugs..i am not going to be going camping ever. However I always look forward to watching your videos as they are so relaxed and informative. They are also entertaining and I always look forward to seeing what is for dinner and brekkie. Please keep up the great work!!!!

I used to sell tents and camping equipment a couple of decades ago. I remember the first 'instant' tents - Khyam tents. Use to sell them with a VHS video tape for people to watch prior to using them, as well as showing them how to set up the tent within the showroom. One buyer was very brusque, acted as though I was insulting his intelligence. Anyhow he never bothered watching the video. How do I know.........? He rang me about a week after buying it. He was in the South of France and wanted to know how to 'fix' his tent. He had managed to set it up inside out. When I told him the whole thing would have to be taken apart and put back together he wanted to me to go out and fix it. The showroom where I worked was near Manchester. I asked him had he watched the video (because he certainly hadn't paid attention when I did the demo) and he informed me that he hadn't but he had it with him. Obviously there was no way I was travelling to the S of France (he wanted me to pay for that myself) even if I could have fixed it. My advice to him was to find a camping shop and buy another tent.

@@byunbyun1759 To sum it all up: My family is not the nature-lover type, so I tried camping for the first time as an adult with my husband (who is German and one with nature). Well, the tent was not waterproof and I woke up in the night with a puddle of water around me because it had been raining a lot. Also, maybe I just really cold, but the sleeping bags did nothing for me. Finally, the nail in the coffin was that I was woken up in the middle of the night by animals scratching on the tent. I was scared to death. The morning after I must have looked like shit because when I drove to town to get a cup of coffee the lady at the counter looked at me and said "oh honey, it's on the house".

I have the same tent. It’s the best thing I’ve brought in years. I’ve used it in all seasons and it’s perfect. It doesn’t have anywhere to put guy ropes or included with. It is one of the heavier tent I’ve owned it but has to be light enough for my motorcycle. The dark & cool feature is amazing if you work/attend festivals as your normally going to bed at 4am+ with this tent you can sleep well into the morning without getting that warm at all even in direct sunlight. I’ve just used it for 14 days straight in Scotland and had some horrendous rain and wind and it held up absolutely perfectly. The zips seams and pockets are all decent quality. Only time will tell on the duration. I like it takes minutes to set up and pack down just roll it round and stuff it back in the sack. Really good features on this tent. No getting everything wet while setting up

I've been waiting for the 2-second tent video! Hate to say it, but the commercials do it more justice as apparently there ARE instructions. One pull and it opens. Have to agree about that lack of light coming through though. That's half the joy of tent camping, but I insist on white or beige tents because the light inside is then natural and cheery rather than sickly green and depressing. Good vid.

Hello Andy! I have this tent. It has served as both my backup tent and when I need rapid deployment. I usually go camping for a week stretch at campsites, and when the main door on my old Coleman could not zip up and could not be repaired, this Decathlon tent did the trick, and the reflective fly kept me warm on a 9 degree C evening, with no blanket over me. I really like the tent. One thing about blackout tents, not only do they keep the light from getting in, they also prevent light from escaping your tent and prevent the attraction of bugs at night. Thanks for the video and review! Cheers!

I love the fact that it's battery-powered and portable, which makes it perfect for camping trips like yours! With Asmoke, I can enjoy a variety of flavors thanks to the different wood pellets. The digital controller is a lifesaver, allowing me to maintain my desired cooking temperature, providing precise control over my grilling process. This is especially handy when I'm out in the wild and need consistent results. The added bonus is that it's environmentally friendly, using recycled wood materials. Can't wait for more camping trips with my Asmoke grill. #Asmoke.
