There is a saying in France: "Café boillu, café foutu" (boiled coffee, spoiled coffee) but then again we don't know how to make it cowboy style. just to thanks you for showing that bushcrafty little Bungalow tent. I'm a tarp, hammock, pup tent, lavvu person and I love the many ways this little bungalow tent can be configured. So I couldn't resist and got the backwoods super shelter 2.0 right from the onetigris site. I can finally give my modern Ferrino tunnel tent I hate so much, it takes dozens of tent pegs and it's always full of condensation in the morning, it's a pain to assemble... Thanks for the experiment, the video and advice. Merci.

[@TheCampingCanuck]

I agree about the boiled coffee.

Everything i hear and see about the bungalow is good and you have given it a really good test with all that rain. The side that turns into a canopy is such a great idea. Thinking of doing some camping with my Stepson and thought of having two Bungalows with the canopys facing each other forming a large sheltered area and now I feel I can purchase with confidence.

[@SuperPangloss]

Have been very impressed with mine so far, and-at just around 3 lbs, one of the lightest tents I've ever had.

[@EricTheSwede]

Rewatching this video today (November 1st, 2022) because I'm in the market for one of these and this sounds like a really cool idea! Think I might get two and go for a nice weekend with a buddy!

[@chillindave1357]

37 yrs ago, with a large group of friends we decided on a 2 night trip to Mt Washington in N.H. Being young and camping out of my car, I didn't take my "proper" preps serious. Tent, beer, food, beer, swimsuit (river nearby), beer and sneakers. Hot & humid July 4th weekend all but 2 of us attempted the hike, I went swimming. They returned earlier than expected because no one brought winter gear. It was 38° on the Mt.! My "leather" sneakers got soaked in the river, then melted near the fire! The next day after reaching that hangover status, we took the tram up Cannon Mt. to see the "Old Man of the Mountain" and all I had was flip flops. Not smart for sure. There was a large group of Asian tourists with cameras up top with us, and honestly their laughter and smiles made me laugh too! Here they had $250 hiking boots, looking at this stupid, husky, hungover white slob in flip flops, enjoying the outdoors. When we get together these days with coffee, we still laugh over it, but now their "kids" (in their 30's) laugh too. Great tent test, ty for these real tests. You stand out from all the other so called "product testers". Great job!

[@oldtrooper8320]

I grew up in the Mt Washington Valley. Hunted, fished and hiked nearly all the presidential range… what a great playground to grow up in… then Uncle Sam called me away…

[@cimmaron50]

back in my day, when i got a new tent, i would just assume that the seams would leak so i sealed the seams before the first use. gave me a chance to practice the setup in my back yard and correct any problems in a place where if there were problems i was not in trouble.

[@flyingtigers7856]

How would you seal the seams?

[@cimmaron50]

bottles of liquid sealer were/are sold at most sporting goods stores and included an applicator of some sort. you set the tent up and dabbed the sealer on the floor seams and the rain fly and attachment points. i believe that a spray version is available nowadays. still do that till this day and i stay dry even in a budget priced tent. many budget products are basically solid and just need a little love.

[@SuperPangloss]

@@cimmaron50 there is also a u-tube vid on how to make yer own sealer. Much cheaper for big jobs.

[@arneohman]

Seems do leak, and the sealant is almost never applied from factory so i also buy a sealant and use it during the first trip with a new tent. Good point! I ended Up buying that Tangram btw so ill make sure to Bring a sealant first outing 😄😄😄

Only came across your channel just before lockdown started in the UK about 11weeks ago. Think I’ve watched every video you have. Love the content dude.

[@TheOutdoorGearReview]

Thank you so much Dean, be safe brother. - Luke

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

I'm glad both tents did well on the rain test. I've used OneTigris products for several years and I'm impressed with their products. Thanks Luke safe journeys.

[@ChesapeakeHammockandOutdoors]

I had my Bungalow 2.0 up for 3 days and it rained non-stop.... It was bone dry inside. Also, I just recieved my OneTigris Tigers Den, it's a larger version of the Backwoods Bungalow that comes with 2 additional tarps to use on the sides of the awning. I ve got it up right now and it's POURING RAIN so we'll see if it stays as dry as the Backwoods Bungalow. It's made from 210T nylon with a 2000mm hydrostatic head so it's technically waterproof but not as much as the Bungalow 's 5000mm head. Great vid!

[@jakeberg6758]

All I need to purchase something, is hearing you say you’re impressed, immediately opens my wallet, LOL. Thank you for all the great videos

My Bungalow 2.0 just came in the mail. Can't wait to use ! Every review has been very positive regarding this tent.

[@brnrecluse2946]

Great video as usual Luke. I have the Backwood Bungalow & I love it. The pup tent design enables it to not only shed water but it allows ventilation. Keep up the great work bro!

[@MichaelEMaus]

This might be the best scripted and produced test you have done. The content is great and entertaining too.

[@terrym1065]

Luke👍👍 Killer tent test, not only the testing but a camp out to boot😊 I was surprised the tents held up to the rain as well as they did, of course the wind wasn't that much of a factor...lucky. Driving wind has a much more detrimental effect combined with rain, but, this test did show some good results. I'm not a fan of cheaper, less expensive outdoor gear, had too many bad experiences. I've learned through the years to buy once, cry once😉 Great video again as always, thanks. Enjoy!

[@allenstratton5399]

Yet another great video and I am glad they both passed the rain test as I have recieved my Bungalow 2.0 and have yet had a chance to take it out in some crappy weather. Thank you again :)

[@etonnorad9]

I just got the Tangram and have not had a chance to use it I'm glade it survived. thank you for the test.

[@billsanderson8763]

I love my Bungalow 2.0! It has weathered much heavy rain, ice, and snow in the past few months here in western NC. In fact I was in it two nights this week in the Smokies. The first time it was in a rain there was a tiny leak where one of the screen tie-up toggles was attached, but a spot of seam sealer fixed that. I usually pitch with a ridge line and use my trekking poles to hold up the "porch." Sitting in my tiny folding chair under that porch fly cooking or just enjoying the scenery is amazing. If only I had a mule I'd get a large canvas "Baker-style" tent (which is what the Bungalow is modeled after), but for backpacking, it's just about ideal. Just never make the mistake of sleeping in it zipped all the way up or you'll have a condensation rain forest by morning.

[@SuperPangloss]

Exactly how I set mine up!

[@kirkw1740]

If you haven't tried cold brewed coffee I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by it. It takes a long time to make but it's relatively simple. Take a coffee filter and fill it with coffee but leave enough room to be able to close it at the top with a string, essentially making a huge "tea" bag. Then steep that in cold water in the fridge for at least 24 hours. It's the smoothest coffee I've ever had and is the least acidic way to brew coffee. Stay safe and keep the great videos coming!

[@cliffordwright1603]

Great review Luke. I have the bungalow and love it. It also has seen lots of rain and been bone dry. I also enjoy camping in a good down pour when I’m set up properly

[@LGSkywalker82]

[@johnnyrussell8729]

I've got the Bungalow and have used it on 3-4 trips and found it to be a solid 1 person tent. Only issue is condensation but that is to be expected with a single wall tent. Thanks Luke for the test in the rain cause mine hasn't seen much rain yet.

[@faithrada]

Ditto... a sweet little tent.

[@djschultz1502]

Same here with Michigan being in lock down for so long i havent had a chance to get out and put it to the test in rain. For the price it is a great tent and set up is easy. I like that you can also run a ridgeline and do away with trekking poles or sticks. I think it is a great design and it does build up with condensation when it is enclosed but i see that all the time even with pricey single wall tents.

[@jepulis6674]

Have you tried leaving the door a bit open? Stake it to ground and leave 1-2cm gap. Works nice on a dd tarptent.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

I prefer the bungalow and having the capability of having the one side in a porch mode. Having a slight case of claustrophobia I tend to hyperventilate in enclosed spaces. No matter if it's raining or snowing there must be good ventilation for me to sleep in a tent. That's the main reason I hammock camp mostly all year round. You put a lot of effort into this project, Luke, and we appreciate it very much. Not too many reviewers would do what you have done. That story about your hammock collapsing twice was quite funny. My alcohol-related story happened when during a single part of my life I dated this wonderful girl and we decided to camp at the Oheo Gulch (often referred to as "The Seven Sacred Pools") on the island of Maui. I rented a Jeep, no top of course, and she asked if she could drive...yes, by all means, says I. On the way to our campsite I managed to down a bottle of wine that was poured into a 32oz nalgene bottle. We talked and laughed the 30 odd miles having a great time. Upon arrival my attempt to disembark from the Jeep made me look like I was trying to go for an 8 second bull ride and lost out big time. Yeah, not a good way to make an impression on your date.

[@outandaboutwithdon656]

Great video, I love being in the woods in the rain too, there's nothing like it.

Glad to see you learned from your mistake and only brought 1 beer. No hammock accidents this trip!

Awesome review as usual. I usually get ideas on what actually works and what doesn't. Thank you Luke.

[@iamgroot8631]

I liked today’s show , always love it when it rains ! Suggestion , for the big tarp , the military uses a cammo netting support system for their big cammo netting , 2-3 poles and a spreader (all light weight) it can replace a stick and rag (which can fall down in a windy situation and tear the tarp) check it out !

[@hurleyflyer263]

Bungalow for me, all day long Luke. Has the porch overhang and, more importantly didn't leak at all. Thank you very much for you Videos they keep me sane in a messed up World, especially now in locked up UK.

[@Jaden48108]

I love waking up to the sound of wrens. The wren is your friend. My wife and I enjoyed two particular wrens who decided to make a nest atop a small tool shed under an overhang of our back deck. They raised 5 baby wrens and all of them made it. It was fun to watch them grow . . . rather quickly I might add and leave the nest.

[@jimfosse3830]

Of the 2, I'm more of a fan of the Bungalow 2.0. I saw this previously in another video (Corporal's Corner) and really found the "Porch Mode" to be a really neat option in weather just like this. Also, thank you for bringing up the air flow issue on the bug netting... That would not be obvious by the look of it. I appreciate your in depth reviews of the products. Invaluable.

[@jeffrichards5106]

Thanks for the reviews and testing Luke. I recently bought the One Tigris Iron Wall tent. Probably not going to use it now until Fall and definitely Winter. I think I would like the Backwoods Bungalow. After reading Kephart and always being interested in the "Baker " style tent.

[@eddies8502]

Greetings from Ohio! I have that Tangram tent. I took it out overnight into Wayne National Forest. It rained for a good part of the night. Zero issues. I did pitch the additional rigging at the sides and at the foot and head and additionally scotch guarded the outside. I kept an eye on the tie-outs on the screen where you had problems and I made sure they were as horizontal as possible with the additional rigging. I’ve switched out the cording from the original to a thicker paracord so the cord stays hold better. I also switched the plastic corner hooks to aluminum s hooks. It’s a great tent and a cost effective option to a dcf tent.

[@UrbanGrrl69]

Pretty impressed with all that rain, makes either of these a good choice for Scottish weather. Look forward to hearing what you think between the two of them space wise etc. The Soto stove looked very good too. I bet it felt so good being under the tarps.

Thanks for the video Luke. I own the Bungalow 2.0 but haven't had the opportunity to test it in the rain yet. Nice to see it did well, I'm looking forward to your reviews on each tent. Thanks for sharing. Raccoons are very curious animals and opportunists. I have had them come right up into camp and hang around especially if they think they might get a hand out at dinner time.

[@guitarhiker4449]

I like that bungalow tent. Huge front mesh door! Although the other tent has a ton of ventilation too, with all that mesh. But i have to say the bungalow is the better of the two because you can also use sticks to pitch it and it has plenty of room inside, less chance for leaks or rain splash. One tigris makes some good gear for the price points! Stay safe man! Hike on!

Hey Luke. Enjoying here in NYC. Gonna do a backpack overnighter after watching this. Also just ordered Cafe Busfelo cafe Con Leche.

[@dilmurodavalbaev1392]

Amazing content as always, Luke! Given how much you love coffee, I am surprised you haven't delved even deeper into this subject. Taster's nasty and cowboy coffee are great, but there are a lot of other methods that can produce fantastic and, dare I say, much better cups of coffee. And when it comes to coffee, the key is to grind your beans fresh, and there is no way around that. I would love to see you try other types of coffee brewing (French press? Aeropress?) outdoors someday, maybe pairing them with a good hand grinder. Meanwhile, Strength and Honour!

But it makes you ingenious, stronger and ready for anything... well, almost lollll!

Have had my Bungalow for a few months. Very impressed with it so far. Well under 100 bucks on Amazon with some of my credits. The ONLY issue I've had is it will have condensation on the interior on cold nights if the flap is zipped down. Easy fix is to leave it up in porch mode and just enjoy the view! I usually string a line between two trees and use prussik knots to secure the tent body.

[@warbirdskies]

Half expected to see the Racoon fast asleep in the Bungalow 2.0 when you unzipped it after the storm!!! Great reviews - found your channel when researching decent pop-up tents for easing the lockdown life and have enjoyed watching your reviews of all sorts of gear... BTW, got a Coleman Galiano 2 in the end and it has been a pretty good little tent for under £50!!!
