[@tennyis28]

when you close the vents, position the kick stand so that it pushes the storm flap up, it helps a little bit. It will still leak at the vents though. I was thinking of a few pieces of velcro on each vent to keep it fully closed, the way the tent sits it has a big gap even when closed.

[@ajp2811]

Well i got my tent set up in my garage and I seam sealed over the vents and down the seams of the vents. I think i sealed about 80 percent of it.

[@kizikucalegon8673]

I gotta say. Having spent the past week or so watching survival focused channels - build your own shelter, boil swamp water, and hope you catch dinner if you want to eat tonight type deals - seeing you just calmly assemble a table and chair, then heat some bottled water on a stove in a pot to make instant coffee and food is hilarious.

I'm kinda new to tarp setups, but was curious, when you're going out do you just cut your paracord to lengths that you need for your tie-outs, as you go, or just cut a predetermined length ahead of time, maybe 15-20 feet sections, to use those for your tie-outs, and then just tie pieces together if you end up needing a longer piece for any given tie-out point?

I try to always set my tent up at the house & give it good spray down w/the hose hitting all those seams & letting it dry out then repeating the spray. I camp ALOT & I’m in Virginia so it rains a lot. MY experience is usually that a brand new tent, after going through one decent storm, may leak at first but after that they’re fine. I don’t know if it’s just the seams need to get wet & expand or what. But I’ve had plenty of tents that leaked on the first storm but never again after that

[@papajeff5486]

So, I’ve watched you set up your camp multiple times over a couple of years now. You have never, in my memory, pitched your tarp over the door of your tent. I grew up in East Tennessee and I learned, for good reason, to always put a tarp over the front door of my tent. Since we both grew up camping, in generally the same area of the wet Appalachians, how could we set up camp so differently? My wife taught me to like pea and carrots. When we were brand new married, I was a plain, meat and potatoes guy. Over the years she’s had me give lots of different foods an “honest try”. I loved her and trusted her, so, I did. Well, I’ve learned to eat salad and lots of veggies. Yep, peas and carrots. Texas

[@zachbolinger6963]

I thought the same thing, then I realized he's testing the tent in the rain.

[@mysterylovescompany2657]

Isn't it also recommended in the States to always store + handle all food away from your tent? I always assumed that just wanting to cover his cooking area, at that bit of distance, was his reason. Though of course, on his test nights he would also have the reason of fully putting the fly through its paces with no mitigating elements.

[@quantummotion]

Luke is testing the tent, so not having the tarp over it, you see the failure modes, BUT, from a practical standpoint, yes, tarp over your tent. I camp for week long stretches and you are guaranteed rainfall one day in that week in Southern Ontario. I have a dome tent, I will tarp the entire tent and have the tarp hug the tent like a fly with a point guyed out for ingress/egress. By having the tarp secured to the tent as a dome, it does not become a wind catcher. Also note in the footage, the backsplash of forest duff on the sides of the tent bathtub. That will cause seepage, so having that tarp drape over and right to the ground, the tent stays clean and dry. May sound like overkill, but once you take those precautions, you don't care if it rains, and the cleanup is much easier after.

I took this tent onto Dartmoor in the UK in the extreme rains on the 3rd of the month. Absolutely no issue. The storm flap in the vents wasn't holding up with the wind on Sheepstor so the vent got closed: job done. Fortunately no issues and very pleased with the tent. For the money, I'm Absolutely 100% impressed. Seems like there is some pot-luck going on with this one 🤔 That's a shame.

How old is yours? There is some chatter that their quality has diminished recently.

@@1savage99 Mine is 5 weeks old, but that's just in my possession after purchase. Maybe it sat on a shelf in the Amazon warehouse a while before I bought it. I can only say I had comparable rain and it held up, kept me safe and I had a good night in terrible conditions. I was doubly impressed as I also have a Carinthia Observer from new as well, which I expect to be bomb proof. It is in winds and storms, but it ALWAYS seems to leak a little on the right side. For the £500 price difference between the two, the One Tigris really is amazing value, but definitely it's a roll of the dice as to whether you get a good one and that's a shame for both the buyer and One Tigris themselves.

@@mrghost3209 thanks for the reply. I’v e been look8ng at theis hot tent and really going back and forth whether to buy or not to spend more on another brand.

@@mrghost3209 mine has leaked in light rain and not leaked in downpours, i've had very mixed results. I really feel like it's how the rain is falling and if it can come up inside the vent. I'm going to put some velcro on mine to keep it closed all the way. I also started positioning the kickstand so that it pushes the storm flap up before closing the vent. The first night with mine I got VERY wet, much worse results then what Luke had.

@@tennyis28 I haven't used it enough to say yet whether mine leaks in light rain. The two times I've had it out have either been in an absolute downpour or just a regular, breezy night on the moors. Two weekenders isn't enough for me to give any more user experience than I've already shared, but thanks for the heads up as sooner or later I'll be using it in lighter rain too.

[@PapajosTraders]

Thanks for the heads up.....just ordered this tent a few days ago. Looks like I'll be picking up some seam sealer soon! Actually saw a vid how to make yer own with silicone caulk....might try that. Also-Taster's Choice House Blend is my go-to camp coffee.....I like it! Nice woods you picked for this vid!

[@alexk1486]

My backyard testing thus far hasn't produced any leaks with this tent. My next test I will have to more closely inspect the vents and stitching.

You are the best sir. My respects to you for what you are doing

[@davidgaines8607]

To be fair , the tent was still the dryest place in the whole forest.

[@mustang19ms]

That's a really low bar, it's supposed to be dry, not just the driest in the forest...

[@userunknown1030]

@@mustang19ms that is a problem with almost all tents they can't stand up against rain they never even the best tents fail.

Beautiful shots, great idea and i love your style of speaking and composing this video. I watched that video and felt like it was only 15 minutes. Only after that i noticed it was thrice as long. Very very good

New camera? That is PRISTINE clear footage.

Keep doing this as long as you can. They are really appreciated.
