Day 83 of chemo everyone. Just one more week to go, then an MRI in two weeks definitely need this tent for an upcoming car camp. Carpe Diem everyone.🤙

[@deeboo1122]

God Bless and Best of Luck

[@danielsweeney6742]

Enjoy the camp out when you can!

[@jbeachbob58]

Best wishes for a full recovery.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

Thank you very much, I definitely appreciate the comment.🤙

[@ryanbrown5214]

Prayers for you!! God bless! 🙏❤️

[@BiggyBaitin]

Doing larger tents is actually a great idea, way larger market for your everyday car type campers and it’s not really done a lot on KZbin. The market for ultralight backpacking videos is huge. These types not so much. Loved the video!

[@WardenWolf]

Coleman has some nice very large cabin tents. I bought their 6-person model around 20 years ago and that exact tent is still made today. The only "flaw" I found with it is that it really requires 2 people to set it up. But it's a 6-person tent; one person typically won't be setting up something that big for themselves. Once you set it up, though, you can stand up inside for a large portion of it and have full-height cots, and can even divide it into two rooms for privacy. Super roomy.

[@lyman135]

You just said two completely opposite things.

[@markthomas2436]

This is a good video which illustrates the point I made years ago about the demarcation between backpacking tents, and car camping tents. If you are backpacking the tent in, it HAS to be a lightweight tent. If you are simply driving in, you can bring "everything but the kitchen sink." So a tent like that really IS a palace.... compared to the 5 by 7 foot A frame trail tent you packed in on the ACT. I only wanted to backpack in and camp for years, but car camping came along in my 40s and it just quickly wins you over. You can bring SO many more things to make that campsite better. It is indeed strange that camping can be very primitive and also slide all the way to glamping and RVs. Some backpackers might say that NOBODY who brings in a camper of any kind is really and truly camping. But for me? I get the AGE THING. When you are young, you wanna backpack. Ya get to be an old dork like me? That tent starts to look real tempting. You just want more comforts and less hassles as ya get old in the outdoor life.

[@TheWestlandgirl]

So true!

[@ecidemon5672]

Add in kids, wife, girlfriend, super lightweight backpacking tents unless you're making them sleep alone, i'm out of the market for. What I am in the market for is something i can throw in the back of my SUV with my 3 coolers and fridge and camp for 3 or 4 days with more than just myself. I grew up in the outdoors with my family and a truck camper, I like to share the outdoors with friends and family and it doesn't need to look like a bunch of cocoons at the campsite with single person tents when 1 will do. Call it what you want to call it but here in northern MN, I call it spending time outdoors and fishing off a boat with a few cold ones with some friends and family. I've almost considered solar for the battery backs so we got maps and coms for OnX... the travesty! Never watched a movie that wasn't a fire pit though.

[@johnf.kennedy5454]

Just wait until you reach late 50s or early 60s...you begin to question the use of tents at all.

[@JNicholsKnows]

​@johnf.kennedy5454 We've reached an age where we are still using tents.Uncomfortable with manageable but we won't stay at a campground unless it has at least a porta potty And picnic. Tables

[@johnf.kennedy5454]

@JNicholsKnows As an adult, we rarely camped at a typical "parking lot" style campground. We preferred "primitive" ones in which there was enough woods between campsites that you couldn't see each other. They were close to pit or temp toilets. They did have picnic tables too. They were also walk in sites, so you might be 50 or 100 yards from your car. But you felt like you were really away. If you wanted to shower or a flushing toilet you could drive a few miles to the "regular" campground with all of the giant campers.

[@dollar_tree]

I also used a coupon to buy this product a month ago. I believed in the test video, and I camped with this tent on a very windy with rainy day. It was a hell of a storm. It shook hard, but the tent didn't collapse, and the waterproof was perfect. I highly recommend this. If I had to find a downside, the bottom is very thin.

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

$400 for a tent this size and quality? If you need a large tent, this is a steal! My first 8 person tent for a hunting camp was a $1500 canvas yurt style that weighed tons. Sure wish this one had been available back then.

[@JNicholsKnows]

For that price, please tell me you were smart/lucky enough to get one with a floor we made the mistake of paying around 1200 at the time and didn't realize no floor. And we were in Missouri for 4 nights.So as you could probably guess SNAKES

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

@@JNicholsKnows. Yeah, this thing is a caddilac. Four season, floor, stove jack, the works. The only thing it is missing is a front awning and the forklift required to move it anywhere. It does make a great tent for a hunting camp, but over the years we have all stopped hunting.

[@vic2265]

Love the big "family or hunting base camp" tent series.

[@robinleyco4674]

I'm so glad that you start doing review on family tent 😀

[@2-old-Forthischet]

You hit the jackpot. There was no wind. I use a four person tent, just for me alone.

[@ursuladubrick4434]

Same here

[@clairekrulikowski8426]

Me, too. I joke I have a Bedroom and a Livingroom since I set a folding chair on the other side of my Coleman 4-person Instant tent.

[@BR.]

I only have a 3 person one and looking to upgrade. This one doesn't fit a night stand :)

[@gow_g_rod]

I'm always setting up alone. I treat these framed cabin tents like tunnel tents. I stake one end and work away from that end to keep a little tension on the structure and it holds everything upright. My large tent of choice is the Gazelle T3 Tandem Hub tent. I've had one for over 2 years and it was a great investment.

[@STB-jh7od]

Can't wait for the rain test of this.

[@brettsteele7386]

I have a Coleman instant set up and it is wonderful. I camped in it in a storm on the Oregon coast and it stood up to 25 mph winds with gusts up to 65 mph. It saved our butts.

[@bon3906]

This channel has made me a NatureHike and OneTigris fan. Quality budget tents.

[@jennyleef1775]

It's good to see a big tent being tested. These instant up tents are brilliant. I have had a 4 person one for 11 years now and love it. As for putting up a larger tent the way to make it easier for one person is to extend all the upper pieces but leave the leg poles half way. Then put the tent fly on then extend the upright leg poles. That's how I have done larger 6 and 8 person tents.

[@michellereed5638]

If I was looking for a tent, and desiring to prep for outdoor camping or survival outdoors, THIS is the tent I would purchase for myself and my sister and brother! WE live in a low income apartment complex. I know that one of these days, the rents are going to get so high, we will wind up homess and on the street. LET me tell you, this tent, would be the one, the type we would need if we had to rough it on the streets!. it might not be so great for winter, but it would take us far, as the privacy panel would be great for creating two separate bedrooms for my brother and then myself and sister. Looks easy to set up, and lots of room for storing gear and water/food and clothing. Also for keeping our four wheeled walkers. So this looks good. thanks for reviewing this tent. I will have to save this video, so if, I ever have to be homeless, I can reference this and find this tent. Kudos and thanks Luke! I knew I would find something practical from your vidoes that I could use. I have. I really mean that, thank you very much. From Gresham Oregon.

[@lawrencetalbot55]

Super nice tent!! Would be ideal for my wife and me, when we do our 10-day camping trips to Oklahoma. Our biggest complaints about tents is lack of space, windows and doors. This one has those features taken care of, if it's waterproof, we're absolutely going to buy one of these!! Love the vertical space, and all those screened windows and skylights, wow!! $300 for a 6-man version is not bad, especially considering the quality of the product. Thanks for helping us find a tent we'll enjoy, Lucas!! Strength and Honor.

[@alexlawmaster]

You should complete these reviews with the disassemble process and the time required to store back in the package. Nice tent and good video!

[@clairekrulikowski8426]

Yup, would be super funny vid of the take down and pack up (no manufacturer of these type EVER shows you that whole process.). I have a Coleman 4-person instant tent, am a solo female camper and damn near kill myself trying to fold it up and stuff it back in every time. On one particular trip, I saw a ranger and hailed her down to help me and between the two of us it got done.

[@keithmcfaul9310]

Now THAT is my kind of tent! I love tents with plenty of room and also where I can stand up straight. It gives you some room to move and around and breathe. I also love tents with built-in floors. Makes it easy keeping bugs and insects out. I once asked you if you ever do reviews on big tents and you finally did one. Thank you.

[@CowboyCree63]

It's quality entertainment watching 1 person set up a tent made for 8. I'd wager it's meant for 2 people or more to set up, but not impossible (obviously) for just 1 person.

[@fire7side]

Even if you have smaller tents for sleeping, something like this would be great for community gathering during the day. If you weren't sleeping in it, you could put about 20 people in there.

[@erichillerich2413]

Luke, my order has been recieved, and I'll do my camp test this fall. Thank you for turning me on to a large cabin tent that will do what anyone wants it to do!!!

[@cristiansalazar5605]

Hi luke, greetings from Chile. I've been whatching your channel for a couple of years now and I love it. Your videos have reignited my passion for camping, and the first tent that I bought this year was the coleman instant tent 10p which is awesome, now I'm buying camping stuff, in preparation for spring, to start doing some solo adventures first and then taking my 11 y/o son with me, thank you for your videos, thank you for keeping your channel agenda free, i wish the best for u and sussy and keep your treatment going...you have all my support and best wishes.

[@salsanacho]

I think Coleman started this type of cabin tent, but I like how other companies are improving upon it. The multiple doors and awnings seem like good additions to this style of tent.

[@Boosted_C8]

I’m 6’7 and take my greyhound camping so this tent looks fantastic 😂

[@WhiskeyThree]

I've been using the kampa watergate 8 tent for years. It's huge, heavy, and takes a while to set up. However, once it's up, you can live in it. With a family of 4, my wife and I share a room, and our 2 kids have their own room. It's waterproof and can stand up to some horrible winds. If my house was on fire, I'm saving that tent to live in. You can even add on another section for more room. It's amazing

[@danielsweeney6742]

Luke throwing that fly on was pretty good. I’m sure I would take about six or seven tries to get it close.

[@clairekrulikowski8426]

Yup, isn't that the truth! Trying to set the fly up on my Coleman 4 person Instant Tent was pretty funny the first couple times (especially in the wind)

[@ecidemon5672]

Add a camera, get it right, edit out the failed attempts lol

[@josephsferruzza1933]

This is a nice tent. I have a Core 10 that is very similar. Doesn't have the awnings. It has withstood some nasty weather. I can't wait to see the rain test. I might have to add this to our camping inventory.

[@Aragorn3407]

I have a tent very similar to this, called the Core 10 Person tent. Main differences being that it has a vestibule with a bug net (which from my research in buying tents, is a rare feature in larger tents, and very much appreciated for me) as well as an integrated lightbar across the entire top of the tent with a battery pack that works surprisingly well. This tent is built similarly to the one I bought 2 years ago, with the same pole structure which I have used about a dozen times with as many as 7 people in cots inside of it. It is sturdy in the wind from my experience with up to 40mph gusts and doesn't leak even a little bit. The last time we used it it was already raining, and 3 of us were able to set it up with the rainfly on top in about 4 minutes, although that is with quite a bit of experience. Great ventilation in the summer, and due to the ventilation it works good in the winter. Used it in Shenandoah completely closed up with 6 people in the tent down to about 15 degrees and no condensation whatsoever. Really happy with it.

[@user-nu7sb3tp1w]

So far I agree I'm considering buying the 6 person version but I'll wait for the rain test, again thanks for all you do, for the love🥾🥾

[@chrisf5475]

I really do love naturehike… I have a few bits of ‘proper’ brand stuff but the tent I’ve never sold and always go back to is their cloud peak 2… after trying various sleeping bags I ended up with a naturehike down bag that’s perfect for me where some costing 3x as much weren’t as warm and were too restrictive etc… and I’m loving these bigger tents they are making now. I have a big heavy air beam tent for family camping but it’s only worth setting up (with the full kitchen, sofa etc) for longer periods. I need something bigger than my wild camping tents but for 1-2 night camps and something like this looks ideal. The smaller ones with stove jacks look great too.

[@johnschuster1770]

Great looking tent, Luke. As of Wednesday, I see some storms heading your way. Stay safe my friend.

[@wandamundy1759]

I have owned many tents over the years. The last two were both 13' X 10' cabin tents. But the one I have owned for more than 40 years - a 3-person geodesic dome "Eureka Sentinel" trekking tent - is still my go-to fave. For one major reason. The rain fly - which comes far enough down the sides of the tent to half cover the mesh windows (which have zipped covers on the inside). So - with a bathtub bottom about 14-in deep - and the rain fly almost covering the windows - there is almost '0' likelihood that water will get in. This is the tent that I did the West Coast Trail with - that I've trekked and camped all over Garibaldi Park and EC Manning Park with - and even taken to the Gulf Islands and to music festivals. In all that time - have got only one small burn at the front of the rain fly - from a campfire spark. The reason I got rid of both my cabin tents - was because in both instances, the rain fly was a bare minimum joke. I'm an all-weather camper - so here on the West ("wet") Coast - a rain fly that barely covers the mesh panels of the top of the canopy was just not sufficient. I see the same with the tent in this video. I don't know why tent manufacturers are so damned parsimonious with the rain fly.. When it's raining - as it often does on the Coast - it DOESN'T MATTER if you can't see outside. What matters - is if you and everything inside the tent is DRY. And those skimpy little bikini-type rain flies just don't cut it. Unless you have a rope-mounted tarp canopy - which means you must ALWAYS camp where there are trees from which to hang one. In everything I saw in this video - that would be my only complaint about this tent . . . that itty-bitty rain-fly.

[@tealrustsage24]

I love my 6 person tent with telescoping legs too. Not this brand but this kind of technology made my life as an older solo camper easier. Very easy to set up and quick so I can enjoy the camping experience all the more. I do appreciate that you left the learning curve shot in your video so others can see that 60 seconds doesn't always cut it when you are by yourself. Thanks for the videos!

[@thebairdhaslanded]

Finally a tent I might try and make my return to camping in my old age without a tarp

[@andym2869]

Being an owner of numerous Naturehike tents I'd be amazed if it failed the waterproof test,I live in a part of the UK that sees some of the highest rainfall in the country & I've never encountered so much as a drip inside any of my Naturehike tents. In my opinion,for the money Naturehike tents are great value & this one seems brilliant value too.

[@playedinchina]

This makes huge amounts of sense for a Chinese company in an international market, most tent buyers in China just use them in the park, so they can set up for the day and have protection from the sun and rain, gather round friends and family, talk and cook and eat while the children play. This tent is perfect for that and with the extras it looks like a great piece of family camping kit as well. My Naturehike stuff has been uniformly top notch so I'll be keeping an eye out for your review.

[@amyf9835]

Really excited to see the testing on this. Anxiously awaiting 😊

[@dancamps42]

When I set up the Core "10 person" tent I have, I usually go around twice: the first time I set up all the legs without extending them (and put the rain fly over the top), then I go back and extend the legs. This way it won't fall over so much with a one-person setup.

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

Thing reminds me of a MASH unit tent....like an officers quarters. SOMEBODY was on point with preventing condensation, that mesh roof and huge windows are epic. This thing would make a great beach side camp, go out when rain isn't expected and make USE of all that mesh.

[@michellefrazee444]

I'm excited to see the final review after full testing. I have finally convinced my husband to try camping again after a back injury in the military. We need something he can stand up straight in, and that is large enough for our kids to have their own space. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the follow-up!

[@lonniehollifield133]

I have similar issues if chilled, I use a heated mattress cover on a queen size blow up bed, slept very good and didn't hurt afterwards!!

[@raroo296]

I have a gazelle 8 hub tent. might be heavy but it sets up in litterally less than 5 minutes and there is no struggle. Although you're looking to spend a little more on a gazelle. It just doesn't seem like this tent is worth the hassle. Thanks for sharing though! Appreciate your reviews

[@jasonpilot4436]

It looks fantastic! I would buy this tent. The amount of space and how enclosed it is from bugs is amazing

[@TheWestlandgirl]

This is the size just my hubby and i like. Plenty of room for 2 large cots, tables and chairs, and our gear, coolers, cooking, etc stay dry if it rains. We usually always stay minimum 5 days but usually a week or more so we have gear! Lol. The setup would be a dream for us.

[@debrarobinson615]

Looks like an awesome tent!

[@4486xxdawson]

Im not even looking for a 8 person tent , just respect your reviews and always enjoy your videos , im glad your making the transition to larger tents , its smart , you always give hounest reviews and people looking to take thier kids out could gain alot from your videos 👍👍 im all for it ...

[@brianfromBoise722]

Looks like an awesome tent and a pretty easy set up for one person after the first time. What about the break down and collapsing storage how did that go? Looking forward to the testing. Thank you for the video. Happy Camping 😀

[@kevinmurphy3464]

For a family and the price it looks amazing, especially with the quality and features.

[@kencoulter7978]

Just some advice, unfold and attach rainfly before extending the legs then stake everything. I have a similar tent and I can have it up and ready in a few minutes. Looks like a nice tent, can't wait for the next review. Thanks

[@TheGoldishFish]

I've owned this tent for approximately 50 days and have taken it camping three times. But, I've noticed that it leaks at the doors and side windows, particularly during heavy or multiple days of rain. Initially, I purchased the 6-person tent, but it had some fit and finish issues, so I returned it. The replacement they sent me was the 8-person version, and I've found that the fit and finish on this one is better.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Thank you, I was wondering if it was waterproof without the fly going all the way down

[@barbaraurban9824]

I had an Eureka cabin tent years ago ,with a fly stylrd like this and thevfly was inadequate .rain puddled between the mesh and window cover then dripped inside.

[@clairekrulikowski8426]

I don't trust any tents and always add my own rainproofing when getting a new one. So far, so good.

[@Doc-Holliday1776]

That tent is bigger than my apartment, nice.

[@karenrudderham4900]

I REALLY enjoyed this review, glad u r going to do more bigger tents. We watch your videos anyway but we can't hikes we feel we miss out when the reviews are always of little tents. THANK YOU!!

I ordered coleman tents from amazon Japan. The coleman products there are completely different from coleman U.S. coleman out there are on the level of snowpeak. Coleman tents in Japan don't use cheap fiberglass poles or frames like over here . I've been pretty obsessed with coleman products from Japan lol. Maybe one day you'll get around to reviewing them.

Wow I’m going to buy this for just the 2 of us! (Plus a chihuahua). Thanks!

[@alanlee8548]

Hi Luke, thank you for reviewing this tent. I'm pretty new to camping (3 years). I've been looking for an affordable and with decent quality larger tent to replace my 6p instant tent (barely fit 4p) to fit my growing family. This NatureHike tent seems a good fit for us. I've placed an order for the Cape 8. Can't wait to try it out in my next camping in a month from now. 😉

[@AlvinKokubun]

Man, I have searched far and wide for an English review of this brand. I bought the Village 13 and stumbled upon this review. Good to know that it looks like a similar tent holds up well.

[@davemc8598]

Looks very cool - as the years pile on, sleeping on the ground becomes less and less appealing, as does crawling around on it. The ability to stand up inside is very attractive. As long as it as weather resistant as advertised, 400 seems like a great price and this could be my next tent.

[@caroldrake1208]

Yes Luke I do think it's going to leak because I don't think the rain fly goes down far enough or out for enough so it doesn't cover the windows or the door that well but I think a lot of chance the rain flies don't cover as well other than that I think it will. Thank you look for doing what you doing take care stay safe and let's see you and Susie do a trip with a tent. God bless you and your family

[@giantfactory]

Naturehike is really putting out some great product. I just got their Sand Dune 4-season delivered today and cannot wait till next fall/winter to try it out properly.

[@jjay4447]

Good luck with your treatment Luke , hope all goes well . As for the tent , I wished this was about when we used to camp as a family many years ago, what a fantastic piece of kit, loving the bathtub floor in such a large tent. Looking forward to the testing Cheers mate Steve

[@eveypea]

When setting up a larger tent on my own, I always peg one corner where I know I want one of the tent corners to be. Then I set the orientation by pegging out one side. Normally I take a 6 person two room tent for myself. One room for sleeping and the other for stowing or cooking.

[@rhondautt462]

Love it! Should take your family fir the rain and wind test!

[@traceydoe1022]

Hi, If you want to test another tent that is nearly identical that hubby and I have been using for 4 consecutive years with only one hiccup (and it was our fault, tarp underneath was larger than tent footprint and it rained…need I say more), the Core 9x14 (bought it on Amazon also). Love it; we are 65+ years old and love camping but with are old bones and muscles we have started to "glamp" more and more. We now have each our cots with nice camping matresses and the sleeping bag we each want. Side table in the middle for our cpaps and charging station. Side bags on our cot to store our ipads, readers and our glasses at night. We also recently bought a camp kitchen table that we install in the other room of our tent where we each have our hanging section where our clothes goes and our toiletry bags on top. We add to the side of this table, with magnetic hooks, our laundry bag to one side and trash bag on the other. The only thing we have to bend down now is our shoes but they are all in a foldable basket right next to our door. So that’s our setup for older folks that still enjoy the outdoors. We even owned a trailer but like our tent better. Setup for tent (2 people) with the rain fly takes us approx 3-5 minutes…the rest of the setup is another story but worth it.

[@domcorleone66]

WOW!! We currently have a Kelty Parthenon 8 that we have used for at least 12 years. We are looking to replace it as the zippers are wearing out. Kelly has downsized their selection. We paid $532 for it. Finding a similar tent has been difficult. This may fit the bill!! Looking forward to the testing. As you have seen our compound, Luke, we take tenting to a whole new level!!

[@intuitiveempath8988]

Once you pulled out the first two legs, that’s when you loosely peg, that keeps it stable enough to pull out the other legs without the tent falling one you.. this process makes one person setting it up much easier.. it was funny seeing you set it up like that though 😂😂😂. Even if you pull it all out, that peg the 4 corners down first before pulling it up, would have worked.

Looks like a solid option as I need to upgrade for some family car camping. The downside is that while a large tent is necessary, there are a lot of campgrounds that don't really accommodate tents this size. Makes impromptu weekend trips a PITA.

Very nice tent. What's fun with any tent is repacking and fitting it all back inside its carrying bag.

[@davidritacurl797]

Thank you. This made me feel better about my issues setting up our family tent. Just almost too big for one man to set up. Awesome once it's set up though.

[@hokudadog7637]

Looks great, I'm looking forward to your rain and storm testing

[@benbarnhart4460]

Here are a couple of tents worthy of a review, that I own, but that I have yet to use. You may or may not find them for sale new: Slumberjack Aspen Grove 8 person hybrid dome tent. (Won it on a local auction site.) Sierra Designs Deer Ridge 6 person dome tent. Love this channel!

[@bluenetmarketing]

Thanks. I very much look forward to seeing the waterproof test video.

[@Raver_S_Thompson]

I don’t worry about set up as much as I worry about tear down, trying to remember any order after a couple days doesn’t go well for me. As someone that has made 1-2 person tents work I’m slowly moving to either sleeping in the back of the runner or bigger tents. I probably don’t need THIS much room but it also wouldn’t be overlooked.

[@cmpg39]

Great to know since im in a search for some kind of large tent..ill keep this shortlisted..

[@RonOrud]

I have a core brand like that, except it has a small screen porch and amazing low ventilation. It is excellent ventilation. You can leave the top of the doors open and the end bottom vents open in the rain. Excellent! 10 Person Instant Cabin Tent with Screen Room 14' x 10' 4.5 (47) $ 329.99

I have a Coleman 8 person popup tent that is very simular to this one. The biggest difference seems to be the tarp (very nice). The problem is not putting them up, its taking them down and they have this center column that all the poles collapse to, that you then have to kinda wrap the rest of that large tent around. Ha, I went to a beer fest before setting this up (wife drove) and I then tried to setup this tent... that was hilarious. I bought the extra rain fly with mine. We pitched on top of a mountain in KY once and had a storm roll in and no leaks, tent stayed up just fine.

[@southerngentleman5321]

Goodluck getting it packed up!

[@maceykeo]

I want to see how waterproof is the tent. Can’t wait for the next vdo

[@mous3203]

Worth looking at the "coleman easy up, lighted dark room" tent. Great tents imo

[@littlebanshee]

Thanks for this video! This might just be the backup non-canvas version of my beautiful Kodiak canvas tent (although this one looks to maybe be a bit too large for us). I’m looking for a non canvas version because we need an option if there’s a high chance it will rain since we do not have a large space to dry out our huge canvas tent if it got wet. But I love our canvas tent so much and think these types of tents are the best if you don’t mind the weight and have a place to dry it out if it got wet. I got the Kodiak one but the other original version/brand is incredible too!

[@lostsheep664866]

I like that tent for the family

[@haanjamiis]

I have AIR SECONDS FAMILY 5.2 XL, which is pretty fast to set up and overall pretty good for extended stay. HOWEVER, what I have found over the time is that putting up a tent is fraction of overall setup time. Well pegging down is a hassle but every tent needs that. What takes time is setting/packing up all the sleep gear. All the mattresses/pads, pillows, sleeping bags etc. And that for the whole family. That's why I'm looking towards a RTT where I can leave the bedding in. Then again, there ain't many RTT's that can house 5 ppl (although 1 can sleep in car if needed).

[@DaGarbageDisposal]

I like a tent this size just for me. I bring a lot of items and like them inside at night

[@SilentEagleFPV]

Im new here, I have an extremely similarly design ozark trail instant up tent. For setup I usually get all of the legs erected and the tent standing on its own and then I'll loft it up. I've never had any collapsing issues. While not 60 seconds a solid 3 min is doable.

[@samhill3496]

Bunch of kids would love it. Welcome to the camping world. Waterproof? biggy.

[@4b131]

Nice first look, I always laugh at the setup claims of companies, they probably have one person on staff who can do it and that was his best time😅

[@johnbolton9483]

Lovin it for truck camping !

[@kevinleavy8565]

❤ 400 bucks that’s not bad is seems good value perfect 👌🏻 large king size air bed 😮perfect setup ideal for typical hatchback 🚗 in the boot space a lot cheaper than them tent boxes

[@valdius85]

Decent option for me and my family. Hopefully it will do well in testing as well.

[@Sentan555]

My family and I enjoy our core equipment tent at a cheaper price. They go on sale all the time. However on my last outing which rained all weekend and heavy, I did get some leaking. The tent is 5 years old and I plan to rewaterproof it

[@jbeachbob58]

I like the initial review Luke. I'm mostly a glamper now at my age. Like the design and not a bad price. If I had the $100 coupon, I would hitting the place order tab on Amazon right now. Thanks for the vid.
