TETON Vista 1 - Ultimate Solo Truck/Car Quick Setup Camping

[@MrMikebarrie]

YAAAASSSSSS. I’m so happy you put that crossmember in backwards! I still do it once in every 3 setups with my cot.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahaha - Damn you are keen eyed! 😄

[@Chris_at_Home]

I have had one of those cot for years that I would use in my office when I worked 16 hour days. I’m retired and until I saw this video I never thought I’d use it again. I river raft on slow rivers with a big raft fishing for salmon and I’m getting one of these tents. No more gravel bars under my back for me. I also have a side by side that will this will work nice for. The poles could also be made to connect two together with a space between them.

Agreed. Rain can be challenging to camp in, built in tarpette would be absolutely fabulous. Nevertheless..its in the mail now..thanks for the excellent run through.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks Wendy and I hope you enjoy it when it arrives! 👍

[@wendygerrish4964]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors It is terrif. Admittedly I have only played with it in the backyard..but just the cot is amazing. I could've used it last December in the snow as it seems it would work as a bench seat for 3 adults. My dog is a 95lb German Shephard and he popped right in with me and made himself at home. There was still plenty of room for both of us so to speak, to stretch out . Way to go. Besides a canopy shelter Im still wondering how to solve the getting in and out problem if it is raining. Maybe just yossing a poncho over the entrance and securing it somehow.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

@@wendygerrish4964 Thats awesome! I think dogs like this more than humans sometimes as it seems like a safe place to them to snuggle down 🐶 I think a tarp rigged over the entrance would be a great idea! 👍

I really like this set up a lot better because it’s modular and more useable for different types of overnighters I have the cabelas two person tent cot. It’s great but very heavy so I used it in Baja at my place for when extra people show up. This was a great review as always and I really like the green color better. It’s great to see the puppies and Simons making a appearance in this video.

Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post this video! I'm happy to be your 1000 viewer : )

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much Derek!!! I really appreciate the feedback! 👍

[@givingterror606]

Hello Michael. Thanks for the videos. I already owned a Gander Mountain Titan XXL cot and purchased the Vista 2 tent and elite rain fly in green after watching your videos. I absolutely love the set up. I use a Field & Stream self inflating pad that fits inside the tent perfectly. I also have the under cot storage, organizer and rifle sheath to complete the set. I also found a foot print online that fits perfectly under my cot to act as a moisture barrier. I am looking forward to many new adventures with this.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

That sounds like an awesome setup!! I bought the Vista 2 but have not tested it out yet, however I love my Vista 1 tents!! I'm sure you will have many happy nights camping in your setup! 👍

[@RatdogDRB]

Love mine (although, I have the "original" set-up/color). I also added the skirts you can attach to the side of the cot for organizational storage... but, haven't even needed them thus far. The loft for personal items is a BIG bonus for this tent, it really lacked without having one... but, there are those optional pieces I mentioned earlier. LOL The new elite skirt is also improved. The original does not have the vent, and it NEEDS it. I don't think the original's elite fly has the vestibule feature either. I'm 6'0" and north of 300lbs. and find this quite comfy for sleeping in, and no lack of sturdiness either. I also have the mattress pad. It does tend to soak in moisture (condensation) and needs airing out later. I have this system and my hammock system stowed in my Tahoe 24/7, along with my camping essentials. All I need to do is stuff food/ice in the cooler and I'm off and camping. Love it.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I agree the loft is a nice touch. They did make some nice improvements on the Elite Fly also and the vent is needed if you are in the damp or humid environment. I find the pad does pull some moisture also but a quick air out with the sleeping bag the next day helps a lot! That sounds like an awesome setup with the Tahoe! Perfect! 👍

Great video Michael! I really like this tent/cot setup. The only dissadvantage is the lack of space for cooking or just sitting down and relaxing but a good size vestibule would be perfect, especially on rainy days. Your idea of joining two tent cots with each a large vestibule is awesome ! That could easily provide a 6 x 12 area ! I would take this a step further and install a stove jack with a wood stove. Thanks and take care.

Hi guys, Nice video, I'm sure you know, I'm not a fan of tent cots, just to small for me. I have to have room to move around inside when it's raining or snowing. I was wondering the same thing about rain and snow getting under the tent. Good to know there is a covering that goes to the ground. I still think the Eskimo ice shelter is the best thing since sliced bread, LOL. I also like the Snow Treker, that's a nice tent easy and fast to set up. It's getting time for a camping trip video. Take care guys.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks John - I think for the bigger guys this would be a squeeze but it works fine for me - Its a nice setup and tear down with less than 10 minutes of work. I love my Snowtrekker and the Ice Tent but during the other non-snow seasons this is my favorite 👍 I'm heading out on a trip very soon so I'll be back to normal videos 😉

[@davidclark4469]

Although I don't tent camp anymore, that would be a perfect little setup for over nighters during cross-country traveling in a car or pickup. I can see myself in a rustic campground with it. I'm 5' 11", and I have to use a CPAP machine, so a powered campsite could be necessary. Or, I could run an inverter off the car battery...but either way I have to lay straight and flat on my back, but I don't think touching both ends would be that big of a deal. I love the set up. With a small clamp-on fan for the summer or a small suspendable electric heater for the winter, it would be great...although maybe the heater would be overkill. One of my dogs with me would do...Good video!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey David thanks for the feedback! For the CPAP wife wife uses one too and we bring the Jackory Explorer 500 and that will run the CPAP for several days between charges. When traveling we just plugged it into the 12v of the truck to charge as we drove. A fan is a greta idea! Love it! 👍

[@l214laus]

Hello Michael, I camp with a CPAP device, battery and solar panel to power the battery. In the cot tent, is there a hole which would allow a lead from the battery outside to the CPAP device inside the cot? My knees are a bit dodgy so the cot looks like a pretty good way to go.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hmm - Good question! I think closing the zipper around the hose would work and seal you in. The doors is pretty close to your head so it wouldn't be too far away. My wife uses a CPAP also when we camp and the Jackery Explorer 500 I have works great! Those batteries have been a god send for people who need a little help breathing and love to camp out! 👍

Hey Michael ! Thank You for your earlier video suggesting adding alternative colours for the cot tent. It looks like Teton listened !! Bravo Teton Sports ! I already have the xxl outfitter cot, purchased after watching your earlier videos (love it) and now have ordered a new cot tent in brown (all I could find in stock) and plan on ordering the larger premium tent fly in green once I can find one. Quick question for you: other than ease of set up, is the Teton xxl camp pad more comfortable than a 2.5 inch self inflating pad ? That’s what I use now. I don’t mind the set up, but from your videos, that pad looks so damn comfy ???

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hey @Seanoutdoors2 Glad you are liking the TETON setup and I also like the brown color! As far as the TETON pad - I sometime use the Therm-a-Rest BaseCamp XL which is 2 inches (5 cm) thick and find it comfortable. If you already have a 2.5" self inflating mat I wouldn't upgrade it. The TETON pad is nice but I don't think it would be an upgrade on what you have! Save the money for something else 😉

[@JS-qi1ou]

If you are looking for comfort my thermarest MondoKing XL is incredibly comfortable on the ground, I can only imagine it's even more comfortable in this setup. Plus it has one of the highest R-ratings for insulation. I recommend it if size is not an issue.

You have shown us an interesting setup. However, I would have preferred watching this when it was raining or windy. You made no mention if this will keep a person dry during a rainstorm, or does it leak when it rains? I'd like to see you or any one person put the fly on when it's WINDY. I also wish you'd shown us how much condensation accumulates inside after an overnighter.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

All very good questions and if you check though my older videos you will see me using this setup during all seasons including a -30c Canadian winter camping trip. 🥶 I've been using the TETON cot for many years and made several videos with it. With the 4 x clips to hold the fly down its very easy to setup in the wind. Hope that helps! 👍

[@aliceg9571]

I was thinking the same idea about making it larger so you have a separate living area just outside of the bed area. You said it was a 3 season tent? How cold would you be able to use it and be comfortable? Wondering if under the cot area would make it too cold. Short of just adding a tarp to the front area would seem like extra work and since it isn’t a one piece tent maybe not as easy to keep warm and also have a chance of rain getting in. Thanks Michael, Esme and Simon for sharing the video. Til the next one. ATB

Just a thought about the setup and the rolled up vestibules. You said, you thought about the way to roll it up, and you way is a good way to get the rain water away from the tent, but on the other hand, if you turn them the " natural way" you wanted to do first, you would be able to collect some rain water. isnt that a good solution, if you are running out of water or am i wrong ?

You can tie out the fly with guys lines on both the standard and the Elite fly via loops sewn into the fabric 👍

[@brandonbt87]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Great to know. Thanks!

[@dalelangila9274]

I would run a Warbonta super fly tarp over the top then you would have a dry area to cook in to

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Good tip! The Warbonnet Superfly is one of my favourite bits of gear! 👍

[@mreid08]

I would add a 10x10 easy up for some dry area when it rains

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

That's a great idea! 👍

Well, the cot and tent too short for me. I am 6' 1" so I like a longer cot, I currently use a Coleman Comfortsmart Deluxe Camping cot. sleeps better than my king size bed quite honestly. I am thinking for my solo trips of going to the coleman Pack-Away cot. it is 80"x44"x17" weighs in at 23lbs. Is there a good fit for it in cot tents?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Yea - this would be too short for you. I'll have to check out the cot you have - sounds super comfortable!

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

I'm an inch taller and idk how I feel about touching the sides of the tent. I think that might be the deal breaker. I bought the xxl cot for more room to spread out.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The tent only works on the XXL cot. If you are less that 6ft you should be fine. If you buy from amazon, you can always return it if its too small 👍

[@benterwellen]

I really like this setup, it would be great if the cot was longer to accommodate someone who is 6'4"..........

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Ben the cot is 85" long so its huge - just the tent is a little on the small side for some of the bigger guys! 👍

[@ScottyD0578]

Thanks. I have a Lightfighter 1 tent. Would like to know if it would work with the xxl cot? It’s designed to fit a standard cot. Want to try this setup but not sure about the rain fly not reaching the ground also. Thanks

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I think the TETON XXL would be bigger than the tent footprint as that tent is designed for a standard GI cot. 👍

[@melanifatula9123]

You so r have issues with rain collecting on the cot? There’s a gap between the tent ants the cot? Necermins

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

You can use the Elite Fly in wet conditions that goes all the way down to the floor 👍

[@melanifatula9123]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors yeah he answered that question after my comment My bad

[@SPak-rt2gb]

I'm sold...Thank You How does it hold up to wind?

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I've not found any issues and the best part is, you can literally pick it up and orient it to the wind direction or just move it 😄

[@freddyjuarez5602]

So the vista 1 quick tent can be setup on top of a cot or are you going against the rules??? Because I was told by customer service not to put the Mountain Ultra 1 person tent on top of a cot

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The Vista 1 can be used alone as a ground tent or put on top of the cot as shown. There are two flys available (short and comes with the tent) and Elite (long) thats sold as an addition. Hope that helps!

[@statsredner9399]

Having a cot to put a tent on top of is a dam good idea by far yet .

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

This is one of the most versatile setups I own! 👍

Thanks Flushot!

[@user-vr2tx4tt6b]

Michael, do you happen to know the difference between the XXL Quick tent & the Vista? wondering if the Vista Elite Rainfly would fit the XXL Quick tent? Love the vids - thanks !

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

There are some upgrades on the locking mechanism on the Vista and the storage net but the dimensions are the same as the old model. The Vista Elite rainfly should fit no problems! 👍

[@user-vr2tx4tt6b]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoors ...excellent, thank you so much.

[@jamesyork1734]

As usual great video one problem now I may have to purchase a new elite fly either the forest green or coyote brown.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Wish they made a Flecktarn version 🤔 - LOL! I would recommend the Elite Fly - Its a great upgrade and not too expensive!

[@kylea4186]

This garbage tent should have came with the so called elite rain fly to begin with. Design team: lets give them a rain fly that doesn't function and then sell them one that does function.

[@christianemmanuelf.domingo793]

I think the green 1s are authorized in the army

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

The army do love green 😄

[@mudbugdave796]

I’d add an extra tarp over this set up since it usually will rain or snow on me before or after I set up 🙄 plus being able to have extra gear outside that’s undercover is a bonus 😊🏕

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

That's a great idea!

[@TheStryderPrime]

Can you use that tent with the Adventurer Camp cot ????

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I think the size is different.

[@bobohrumbobkat6860]

Just wondering if the full set will be available again soon? Also will it be possible to get that through you instead of directly through their site? I saw it here and want to make sure you get your piece... The extra long rain fly would be essential

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hi Bob - I'm sorry that they are still out of stock. Maybe email customer support, they have been great with my questions. I don't make any money from the products I feature (unless you buy something from my Amazon store) but thanks for considering this! 👍 The long fly is defiantly a must in wet areas! 👍
