Hey Luke, you just bought a tent with a built in shower, thats rare, not really desireable but rare. Thanks for posting these great videos.

[@gregsalerno1434]

Hilarious 😂

[@jgmtd535]

I like your storytelling. It’s not just a review of a cheap tent, it’s like hanging out w a friend.

First thing I noticed. Tickets to the gun show. All joking aside, learning so much from this channel.

Thanks for doing the cheap tent ⛺️ videos and telling us not to trust the reviews , it's going to help us out seeing your reviews and watching the tents actually fail than trusting reviews that people are probably paid to lie about how great those cheap tents are

[@erichhoffman9819]

Luke, thank you for your honest and trustworthy assessment of this "Exclusive" Quest 3-man tent from Dick's Sporting Goods. Your time and effort to test these camping and outdoor products is greatly appreciated...along with your great sense of humor!😀

[@gbuss814]

This makes me so mad. I just thinking a Dad or Mom with their kid for a weekend camping at the state park. This will make someone hate the outdoors, let alone how dangerous this tent is. Someone could get real hurt. Thank you for these videos.

[@westoftherockies]

someone is gonna get hurt by using a cheap tent camping? oh really...well if you're camping and it starts raining and the tent leaks, you just get in the car...seriously..most of these cheap tents serve a purpose, 99% of the time they're used in someones backyard, they're not meant to be hardcore weather tents...lol...and most people camping are gonna look at the weather report, not go out in a storm on purpose in the middle of winter...geez. most camping is done in the summer and nobody is gonna die using a cheap tent, if it rains you just get in the car..you don't die from using a cheat tent...you're totally over reacting, most out fatalities are not from the person using a walmart tent, its crap like people gettting lost, not having proper clothing, no matches, they go out in the middle of nowhere unprepared, sometimes with no conatiners for water, no matches...they don't die at a campground using a cheap tent.

[@colleenv2091]

Hi Luke, I’m so glad to see you testing these products. These companies are completely marketing these substandard and defective products to folks who simply don’t know any better and can least afford a costly mistake.

[@ExtremeSquared]

There are plenty of hypothetical families who would go camping in a garbage $40 tent who would not have gone camping at all in a decent $150+ tent. Step 1: write off the 20% of these people who have a miserable time in poor weather. Step 2: assume 10% of the people who encounter good weather with garbage equipment realize they love camping / the wilderness, and keep chasing that for the rest of their lives, but with better equipment. Does this model justify the use of the garbage tent? I am part of the 20% who got soaked in step 1 by the way -- 30 years ago -- and it still managed to plant that seed.

[@Robert-yp9zs]

I agree, 100%. Keep up the excellent work!

[@solutions2exist556]

Luke - I am sure I am not alone within your viewers; but I have started experiencing health issues and if I may call you a friend - you are a Blessing to watch while taking our minds off other things. Thank you for just talking to us. You do an excellent job at making us feel a part of your life. I look forward to your uploads. It is always enjoyable to listen to the product reviews and your camping experiences. God Bless you and your family.

[@rentcollector40]

Luke are you sure you didn't setup the tent upside-down? 🤔 Because the floor appears to be so waterproof that it will actually hold water quite well... 😂

[@capichow]

😂🏆

[@suecbrn]

I think this series is important and fun. The last time I slept in a tent was in high school and I woke up to a small creek running down the inside of it. I was soaked! And honestly it’s a shame my camping days ended there. Although we did have a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean. Your series has inspired me to reconsider going camping again and I am happy you are doing this testing so I can avoid the crap! LOL Thank you!

[@olegoathiking1962]

FIFTY bucks!? You can buy a lot of those cheap tarps for that. Plus, you would probably have stayed dryer under one those. Your reviews are great.

[@carolkontur1442]

That tent is good for backyard with the grandkids,on a warm summer night only!

[@aepage3165]

This gets me thinking... Which tent would hold the most water inside without it leaking out? Can we find the best portable, covered, above ground pool?

[@chrishengeveld6117]

Now that is funny! This made me laugh pretty hard.

[@TheKevolution]

Seriously, thank you for this, your timing on these reviews is impeccable. My Primary School outdoors club has just been cleared for its first overnight camp, so I needed to talk about tent quality and these gave me something to show clips from with real-world consequences. Great episode as always and keep up with thisquest, it's brilliant.

[@deanhockenberry9268]

Even before this episode I wouldn’t spend a penny of my money at Dick’s. You just added confirmation to my decision.

[@ztechrepairs]

They are good if you want a basketball or a some sports equipment but other than that I stay away. Oh clothing is not bad either just usually overpriced in my opinion.

If I knew Dicks had an item I wanted on sale at half price, I would gladly pass it up and leave it sitting on the shelf. The only way I would ever darken their doorway is if they were giving their inventory away for free. I won't support them in any way, shape or form.

[@carolwelcome2882]

It's all about profit for some of these companies. They don't care about the safety of their customer's, just the money. Thank you for sharing and exposing them for what they are. Keep up the great work, and may God bless you and Susie.

[@luanneanderson1653]

Thanks Luke, I really appreciate you taking the time to help us that can't afford the really expensive gear. I've had several times that I bought cheap camping equipment and regretted it. I've learned a ton of info from experience, lol. I've been teaching others that are newbies to camping. A lot of what I tell them is what I have learned from my mistakes and the facts I have learned from you. Don't mean to sound cheesy, lmao

[@wohlhabendermanager]

Don't know if this saying exists in English as well, but in Germany we say "whoever buys cheaps, buys twice". Because the cheap gear will be so bad, you are forced to buy another (more expensive) one very soon. So far this saying has been true for me. Whenever I thought I could save some money buy buying cheap gear, I ended up regretting the decision. Sadly, the only advice I can give is to wait until more expensive gear is on sale somewhere. But imo it's worth the wait.

[@ericwitt4586]

That dish looks awesome you’re like me I really don’t know I learned to cook but I just did one day and when my kid had there friends over swimming and riding the old atv and jumping on the trampoline I learned how to cook my wife worked in the ER and I was a firefighter the money wasn’t all that good while we were starting our beautiful little family I took so much lol but I made the best bbq chicken and Mac n cheese and cheddar broccoli and I’m not bragging but to this day those kids in the neighborhood turned out to be nurses military pilots and marines and every so often they come by and I’ll make that same food for them and there families it brings tears to my eyes and makes me smile !!

[@timjansens3514]

Thank you for your honest reviews. It is amazing what these box stores get away with these days. It is sad, but agree…it is entertaining as well.

Would highly recommend the Coleman Darkroom Skydome 4P. Exceptionally waterproof and lets me sleep in during the morning sun. I was lucky enough to to get it at half the price it is now a few years back though.

[@nicknickerson4674]

Coleman exped if you can find one? Maybe ebay? The best

[@aprilscarl5010]

That is what I got and I love it. I have a few Coleman’s that have lasted 15+ years

[@lindaterrell5535]

The best money I ever spent was on our only tent - a pop up 2 person dome tent back in 1982. $150 from Wal Mart. We wanted to go across the USA but motels would have broken the budget. So we decided to car tent camp. Husband used seam sealant on the tent. And in 12 years of camping we never saw a leak. And no condensation. And we went through some wrath of god prairie stranglers too. One in the Badlands. Bought a load of so called “survival” meals, just add water. Did the cross country trip twice, ten years apart. And many shorter trips to specific parts of the country. Some of our best times. We had fantasies do doing it in retirement. Glad we did it then. Because by the time we retired, we didn’t have the energy. I couldn’t crawl in and out of a tent anymore.

[@suebeal4682]

What a great service you give to all of us. I have learned so much from you. I had a rain experience with a cheap tent. I say it was a river runs through it for me

[@LMJ0700]

Hey Luke, since I’m from Moose Jaw Sk Canada, thanks for the shout out. That tent would not do well here Saskatchewan. The wind and rain we get on flat prairie land you would be blown away in no time.

[@doctorartphd6463]

Great presentation tonight....love your talks to your audience. That's cool. Appreciate all your hard research and work. Thank you. You helped all campers and survivor folks save tons of money especially us older warriors on VA pensions. Thanks again, Luke !! 👍

Hey Luke, thanks for taking one for the team. That tent is not even hot garbage, just garbage.

[@chan_va]

Living for this. I am interested into getting into camping post college and acquiring some starter gear is a nightmare and you are showing how BS it is. Appreciate the search for quality and great content.

The Pup and Kitty revelation sparked great joy. Good video.

[@globalfamiliesfirst]

Hi Luke, hi Susie! Luke, thank you for this review. As amusing as the swimming pool was, it frightens me to think that some young family may be thinking this would be a good starter tent to begin camping with! As you’ve said before, this tent could be dangerous. If through inexperience they find themselves in the middle of nowhere…. Shame on Dicks! Frances

[@Mart687]

I loved your quote: “Never argue with stupid people. (but it goes on after that) They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” - Mark Twain. Maybe you should have some fun with the reviews. Like: I love the tent, I think I've grown a bit since the purchase. Only 5 feet 4 before and I do not fit in it so I must be over 6 feet now. Amazing at 40 years of age. And the secret hydration system is awesome. After some mild and heavier rain, the tent collected about 5 gallons of water on the inside. Making for a refreshing wake up and I didn't even have to go out to get water for my morning coffee. I'm loving it. 5 stars!

[@joycebricker3814]

In the 60s my aunt bought this massive tent for the family of 8. Had many poles not shock corded. The set up directions got lost. Named the drought buster. It didn’t leak . They didn’t camp much, we borrowed it for a cross country trip. We watched the storm clouds roll in as we were driving pulled in. 4 kids two parents set this up in record time. “ set it up tight it’s getting windy” it rained hard. Water didn’t come in from the floor seam it came in through the Roof. Like a shower . The only part of that tent that wasn’t leaking was the floor. Finally dad took a sharp knife cut a hole in the floor. So the water would drain out. We only had trouble that one night. This reminds me of that.

[@Orbacron]

You should do a video of all these tents... Sealed after you test them from the store. A test of your personal sealing of them. I see a trend where the cheap tents don't seal the bottom edge

[@Twin_Flyer]

But as he said in the video about the stove, is it worth the time and added cost? Spend a bit more and get a tent that doesn't need additional work to do the job correctly.

This is exactly the situation I’ve been in every time I’ve gone tent camping in rainy wx. The one time I remember the most, one tent was lucky and just leaked badly getting everything damp, cold, and miserable. The rest of the tents were so leaky, they literally flooded. I remember seeing bags & sleeping bags floating in the in-tent pools.😢

[@claytonfite3197]

I served my country in the military. We were given gear that would keep us dry. A poncho or a half tent to share with a platoon buddy, sometimes the rain became hydration and personal hygiene. We learned to overcome and to adapt. I once thought we would drown in a low swell next to a road on the side of a mountain when a severe storm with tornadic rotation passed over our recon squad. We were ordered to stack weapons and lay in the swell which filled up like a mad river, Guys were hanging on to each other we were grabbing and hanging on to tree roots anything attached to the ground keeping our heads above the flooding waters. I thought that day we were going to die. We made it and found a place to recover and dry out. It angers me that a billion-dollar corporation is selling junk like this for profit and knowing it leaks. Great job in exposing the crooks the cheaters for profit. Keep up the great reviews Luke,

I learned a long time ago always take with you a very large piece of plastic that you can use as a rain fly one that will cover the entire tent. I’m 58 years old and I learned that when I was a kid so these rain flies they put on some of these tents are not worth having so yeah you can have a cheaper tent, but as long as you have that nice, big rain fly that covers the entire tent, you will stay dry if you don’t have it you’re gonna get wet

I've been waiting for reviews on what beginning campers can start at. I am on disability, which means I can get a bout one new item a year, if I want to afford to go camping at all. I have to use ozark trails stuff and make it work. I have to Gerry rig a lot of stuff, but I make it work, cause I love it so much. All the gear reviews I watch are reviewing some pretty expensive stuff, and it's nice to see real reviews on real stuff that beginners can afford. Buying a couple extra tarps, and moving blankets at harbor freight can make huge differences!😂😂😂 Love you and your whole family, your all lovely and so blessed! Be well brotha, and namaste😎🙏💛❤🧡💜💙💚

[@gauloiseguy]

My kids use a three person Coleman dome tent. It's okay. Watertight in at least light rain (didn't have heavier rain yet). Seems like it will hold heavier rain. It's on the heavy side. Easy to set up. They have one step up from the cheapest model with the larger vestibule. It's an older model though. Think 2019, so please inquire further.

I pay attention to the reviews on the REI website, but still do off-site research before making the decision to buy any product.

Certainly a worthy detour in your video output that I would suggest is worth pursuing. Thanks for your output with your wife, which helped me when I was laid low recently with Covid. Coloroda looks awesome, especially. Keep it up.

Fussing about the Feb temps, you had a crazy windy Friday night and Saturday. Glad you do these reviews, always appreciate them. I am about to purchase a Kodiak Truck Tent for my Taco. We shall see how that does. Coyotes in the background! 4.5* review were from 8 year olds that set it up in their moms living room from the country of origin. Happy Birthday Chris.

Luke, you missed a key component when you bought this tent. According to Dick's Sporting Goods website, people who bought this tent frequently bought the Intex Dura-Beam Classic Downy Queen Airbed. You only bought the pool and not floating air-mattress.

I camped with maria, an experienced backpacker, on the Colorado River in Utah. She found the perfect spot, flat, smooth dirt, no rocks or such and set up there. I set up on a slope. In the evening, it rained... hard. I was dry on my slope but when I checked on Maria, the place she set up was smooth and flat and beautiful because that is where all the mud washed down. Her tent was in 2" of water and pouring inside and she was too miserable to leave. So I trenched the area to drain the water, then set tarps all over her tent to divert water. All in the rain. She survived because i was willing to do all that work in the cold rain while she complained that she was wet and cold.

Reminds me of my canvas pup tent my BFF and I used to take to music festivals in the 70s.

Thank you so much for keeping things honest and listening to your viewers! Luke, you are looking buff bro!! Get those Wolf Gains!!!

Alps Mountaineering. You've given them the short end of the stick every single time. It's absolutely the entry level brand you are looking for in this series. We have never had any leaks in the 200+ times we have used their products. The Mystique 1.5, lynx 2 and zephyr 2. I hope one day you give them an honest review and actually set up the shelter and stay in it before condemning it without comparing it to a $800 product.

Dude, Luke, that interlude you had there at 11:30, the music is solid and had me bobbin along. I dig your taste in tunes.

[@thetremors97]

I know this is a camping gear channel. But your truck is Right Hand Drive??? That's is so awesome

[@carlinman539]

Lookin yoked! Thanks for being real. I appreciate what you do, stay awesome.

[@brucewarren5248]

You asked for our thoughts on having you dig deeper into online reviews. I say YES! You are one of two (maybe three) people online who I actually trust to give an honest review. So, I'd like to see your take on other reviews. (The other truster source has nothing to do with hiking, camping, the outdoors, etc.)

I hope all these people who love this tent live within the snowbelt of the country and one time go out to a state park and put that tent up and see if they can stay out all night in it without running for the car during a little snowfall, that's the true test would you take this tent to Glacier or the Tetons and hike to the back country and survive in that tent, good luck!! Your a braver soul than me if you do!! As a former Boy Scout I know what cheap tents are like and Im lucky nothing bad happened to me in one, especially from hypothermia, pretty sure a group of us almost died while out at the Boy SCout Ranch out in New Mexico, it got so cold there, my shoes were frozen when I got up in the morning, we had WWII canvas tents, that was the coldest Ive ever been!!

[@JanStewart590]

Reading the tent's reviews - with your funny comments - Hysterical! Watch out for that waterfall when you open the tent door 🤔🤨 We're very lucky to have your reviews of this stuff!

[@agent_smith...]

I just love that Toyota... for being an older one it is in outstanding shape and looks perfect for what you do in your videos. Thank you for reviewing all that you do. When ever someone asks me about a camping product and I don't know anything I send them to your channel because I have followed your advice and guidance and never been unhappy.

[@fukenbroken1]

Got to love that Chinglish. They give themselves away every time. LOL

[@JackdKeeney]

I agree, always do your homework on getting a tent!

[@bigorange2082]

I’m an American in Japan. I can send you a few actual bento boxes if you want one. 😁 Best wishes. Thank you for all your videos.

[@traceyneale5094]

We too had this product back in the 80’s. It was called a wading pool with a roof. Major part of growing up in Australia 😂😂😂

[@paulduckworth1121]

Thanks for doing these Luke - great name, Bento as well.

[@rosemaryojeda5949]

I did quite a bit of camping in my day and I waterproofed and seam sealed every tent I ever bought before taking it out. I found that without doing those things no tent was weather worthy

[@stephaniesmith7317]

"I'm pup, she's kitty. Vomit now if you want to". LOLOLOL🤣😂🤣😂 This is why we love you guys. Packie & Bento🚐🚘
