YAAAASSSSSS. I’m so happy you put that crossmember in backwards! I still do it once in every 3 setups with my cot.
Hahaha - Damn you are keen eyed! 😄
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.
😂 it's only funny when someone else does it 🤣👍
I love the setup you have
Thanks so much!
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.
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 😉
Really an informative video! Great Job!
Glad you liked it! 👍
I like the color too Mike
It is an improvement over yellow 😄
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 Robert! The green is a huge improvement for me! Simon and Esme had a great time 😄🐶🐶
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.
Thanks Wendy and I hope you enjoy it when it arrives! 👍
@@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.
@@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! 👍
Howdy Michael. That was one excellent video, with an extremely comprehensive look at that entire tent/cot setup. You answered all the questions I had, and I particularly enjoyed your idea for a newly designed rainfly that would include a larger vestibule area. Well done! Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post this video! I'm happy to be your 1000 viewer : )
Thanks so much Derek!!! I really appreciate the feedback! 👍
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.
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! 👍
Yeah! Your back! Love the babies!
Yay! Thank you! 🐶🐶
Great presentation! Thank you for putting together this video.
Our pleasure Patrick! 🎄
Thanks for the review. Very clever on rolling up the panels.
Our pleasure! 👍
That is a great setup! Really like the elite fly and all the dry storage area it creates. I think your idea for the fly mod is an excellent one, hope they take your advice! Esme sure looks comfy at the end of the video, just like it was made for her! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks Jacqueline! I really like this setup too. If I'm not sure of what I'm doing on a trip I always take this setup as its so versatile! 👍 Esme thinks its her own bed! 🐶
Such great topic. Thanks for doing this. Love the tent cots too. Thanks for another great video! Such quality content. Take care.
Thanks so much David! 👍
Hi there you 3 Musketiers!!!! Awesome video Michael, absolutely love that kind of camping setup 👍👌✌🐾🐶
Glad you enjoyed it Herbert! 😊
Ever interesting your setup in the wild ! Take care !
Thanks Giovanni! 👍
So tempting and comfortable setup , I am sure Esme and Simon like it too😊.
They love it and get excited to see me set this up! 🐶🐶
Nice video. :):);)
Thanks! I appreciate the compliment! 👍
Your fast and organized! Very nice!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for your ongoing reviews of this setup!! I have the cot and tent and elite rain fly and I’ll be ordering the mattress soon for winter camping.
Awesome - The pad is a nice upgrade and I know there are better options that are lighter and less bulky but this is just fast and comfortable 😄 No chance of air leaks 😉
Thanks for this - very appealing, especially with the pad. I like the color tent you have.
Thanks for watching! Green is my favourite colour! 😊
We got the double and absolutely love it. I agree with the vestible idea. It would be an upgrade I would be willing to pay for. Thanks again. Great recommendation.
Thanks for sharing! - I'd like to try the double! Is that just the two cots together and the Vista 2 over the top?
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.
Stove jack you say! 😄 Now your talking my language! 😉 That would be awesome!
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.
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! 👍
Good work. I like the dog.
Thanks 👍
Awesome video. Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!
Very nice setup for truck camping.
Thanks @RhinoFishing TV! 👍
Well done video, appreciate the patience taken to show and describe the details.
Glad it was helpful Peter! 👍
Great video! Very helpful, thank you!
You're very welcome Chris!
Thank you for this video! I was just looking at this particular setup and was trying to see if this would work for me. You answered a lot of questions that I had, just like for others. I haven't been camping in years, and I've been getting the itch to do so and have been checking out some stuff. So I really appreciate this video!
You are most welcome!! Glad you found this useful! 👍
Awesome review, thank you for showing the fly option too - that was my main concern with your first small rain fly!!
Glad it was helpful Fran!
I love your idea for the larger vestibule. I am watching and waiting.
Me too! Hope they make it!
As always, I really enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Diddley! 😉
Thanks for the review, I just got the xxl cot and just ordered the tent and large fly.
Awesome! - Hope you enjoy it!
Sweet set up. I would definitely buy the bigger vestibule. We love our Sportneer Chairs and our Teton Sleeping Bag. I like that table too. Love your reviews.
Thanks Sally - Yup the Sportneer chair is still going strong - Its held up very well for me 😉 Glad you are enjoying the TETON bags also!
Wowzer Michael, .. How Outstanding this is! Grand & Unique. .. Thanks Pal, ... Mike.
Glad you enjoyed it Mike - Hope you stay safe from the fires buddy! 🙏
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Having a Tough time with what is now a State Wide Fire Storm burning us to the ground! Michael, see Googles very first page hit at Google's: "Oregon Mike H"
Great video, very thorough.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice review abd perfect sugestion!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Elite rainfly i feel should just come with it
It does come with the whole set - But if you buy the parts separately you have to spend extra to get it 🤔 I also think it should come as part of the main tent as a different SKU. So with Elite or Standard Fly.
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Well at least its not that expensive other than that i love this tent and cot. It makes car camping super easy and comfortable thank you for the review.
Agreed ! The cheapest I can find it is over $70 Canadian ! ALmost as much as the tent !
@@seantakumi1 $70 wow never mind what i said about it being cheap lol
Great idea for camping, I like the idea of it being useful for the less mobile. I keep thinking about that for myself in a couple of years. Old and stiff in all the wrong ways. Hope your family is well and safe. I see Esme was keeping a keen eye on you again, no slacking.
Thanks Patrick - I'm on the same boat as you! Planning for the future hurt 😄
Great video. Pulling the trigger on a Teton setup.
Thanks Doug!! The TETON setup is a good choice and they have excellent customer support and warranty too! 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors I was a little concerned about quality control after some reviews, but they also mentioned "replacement" which told me Teton stands by their product.
I just got the cot in the last 20 minutes and have the Vista 2 on the way.
If you ever make another video on it, you can mention that a 6'5", 300lb man fits on the XXL Outfitter comfortably as can be.
Thanks for the excellent demonstration.
Hey Doug - I do consider them a good value brand but I have had a zip fail on a sleeping bag previously - but it was replaced under warranty. 👍 Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for posting the new color changes. The yellow was very stealthy when I wanted to just pull over and set up in secret.
I still love my set up. I sleep wonderfully and have done so in 42 states so far.
Wow 42 states!!! Now that's very cool! 🇺🇸
Nice set up!
Thanks buddy! 👍
oh hahaI watched ur 2017 video! I see u like it. Im going to buy it Tuesday. Thank you so much for the review! Have fun camping and best wishes.
Thanks Carrie! I replied to you on the other comment! It's a great system and very flexible. You can change out and replace the components as needed!!! Plus it makes a great guest bed! 😉
We have the same table and chair, very handy and convenient. Take care
Thanks! They are good!
This is amazing i can’t wait to try it myself. I already have the quick tent but it was really rough without a cot
The cot is a game changer! Add the Elite cover for a 4 season tent. I've camped in this is snow below -30c 👍
Great review, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude this was cool. I'm disabled and think I could pull this off with my Chihuahua ❤️✌️
Awesome!! Its a good solution for people who are unable to camp in a regular tent 👍
I just ordered this set up today myself ~ i’m like you I would like to see a rain fly that comes out with a couple of polls ! I think what I’m going to do is buy a tent tarp for my vehicle and buy the adjustable poles so I can Camp right underneath my tarp coming off my FJ Toyota cruiser ⛺️ I think you explained everything really good that’s why I decided to go ahead and buy this set up you sold me on it thank you .
That sounds like a solid setup Melody! This is a very comfortable and quick setup for truck/SUV camping 👍
Good review Mike 👍😊🏕
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes, I like this rainfly way better, too bad I bought mine a few years back, now I’ll have to buy this because I think is much improved. Thanks 👍🏻
Hi Carmen, the Elite fly is a nice upgrade that can be purchased separately
I already had the cot and the mat. I received my green Vista 1 and elite fly today, and it's set up, ready for when I return home from work.
Awesome! You will love it!
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors I forgot my tent out in the hail that Calgary just had, and bone dry inside.
Love it
Thanks Kay!
Always good to watch your videos Michael, See what your using :-) Hope your good mate :-)
Thanks Russ 👍 Appreciate the comment 😉
I would think they could make a larger fly the could have a hot tent stove for the winter as well. Great video. It's great seeing our Alberta country represented.
That would be cool! Thanks and Alberta is a beautiful province! 👍
Great review. Glad you mentioned you are 5’ 9” and that your feet and head just barely touch top and bottom. I am 6’ 2” I will have to look into another option. Thanks for the video.
Np - Its a little tight for big people!
Love the videos soon it will be fall will be looking forward to your videos will be heading up to the white mountains next weekend
Thats awesome Mark - I hope you have a great time! Fall in New England is spectacular! 👍
Hello Michael, esme,Simon. How is everyone doing? I like that set up. I might just buy the same setup. Thankyou for all the information. Thankyou for a great video. Yall all take care and be safe sir.
Thanks David - This is by far my favourite setup and its really quick and easy 😄 Plus the dogs love it and get excited when they se the tent being setup! 🐶🐶
10:02 Loved the perimeter check 😆
Hahaha thanks! 😄
hi michael, simon & esme, i like this set-up....it's no fuss, no muss, and even though i'm a couple inches taller than you i don't think it would be a problem because i am a side sleeper with my legs curled up, i just bounce from side to side all night long......NICE!
Thanks Mr Waynes! Keep it simple, and less can go wrong 😉
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!
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! 👍
Finally it's real camping with Esme
Yea! 😄
My greatest fear is animals at worst snakes crawling under the cot! I think the bigger fly cover can be pinned down for that and because of that I love this
I like it for similar reasons - ants 😄 Plus its very comfortable 👍
I like it
Thanks Flushot!
I would run a Warbonta super fly tarp over the top then you would have a dry area to cook in to
Good tip! The Warbonnet Superfly is one of my favourite bits of gear! 👍
I would add a 10x10 easy up for some dry area when it rains
That's a great idea! 👍
Great video. Wish there was something similar available for someone 6 ft 3
Hi Kenneth - Check out the Kamp-Rite Oversize Tent Cot - This is much longer. I have a few videos on my channel using this product 👍
Excellent info! If you need to get rid of the yellow version with the XL rain cover, I’d be happy to take it off your hands. 😉
Thanks, I'll bear that in mind 😄
Great video! I recently bought the Vista 2. I love the tent. But the fly leaked like crazy when it rains.
Oh no! Let them know at customer service! It does come with a very good warranty! 👍
Thank you!...your review really helped me to make a decision in purchasing the Teton Sports Vista Quick Tent (brown). Along with the Teton Sports Outfitter XXL & Camp Pad. This is my first tent. The practicality and versatility of this setup is hard to beat. Can't wait to test out!
Cheers mate!
Glad I could help - You will love it and I like the brown colour too! 👍 Happy camping!
Cooool👍
Thanks 👍
Its perfect if your camping on a perfect flat patch of mowed grass
Not really - check out my other videos where I camp in the snow at -30c in a TETON or way back in the bush 👍
As usual great video one problem now I may have to purchase a new elite fly either the forest green or coyote brown.
Wish they made a Flecktarn version 🤔 - LOL! I would recommend the Elite Fly - Its a great upgrade and not too expensive!
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.
Hello Michael
I bought this full Teton set up back when I saw your first winter camp with it.
I've used it and used it.
Even lent it out to friends.
Love it.
Are you selling the yellow Teton ?
I'm in Edmonton from time to time. Fort McMurray
Thanks.
Hey Rob - So glad you like the setup! It's served me well over the years. Unfortunately I've already passed on the yellow version - Sorry 🙁. Went to a friend who needed a tent in a hurry!
I was thinking with the full set having 2 rainflies is kinda pointless. why not use the fabric from the smaller one and sow it on over and around the elites door, add a few metal grommets, a couple tarp poles and you have your self a nice vestibule
Great idea! 👍
I just got this same cot tent in green and love it! I am curious why you put the pad inside the tent rather than below it?
Hi Jamie - Congratulations on the TETON! Good choice 👍 Putting the pad inside stops it sliding around, plus its in the dry 😉
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 😊🏕
That's a great idea!
Michael, very nice tent. But at minus 40°C, without oven in the tent, definitely without bottle of vodka, or 2 very uncomfortable. Laugh, how does the ventilation work with the 2 dogs, or are they already on a diet before. From experience, from time to time the narcotic law applies fully.
Greetings from Frankfurt and stay healthy
Hey Gerold! -40c would be a little low for this setup 😄 -30c was doable but I would like to add a second closed cell foam mat under the TETON pad! 2 Dogs add to the comfort with the heat them make 🐶🐶 During the warmer months I always leave the fly open so I can watch outside. 👍
❤❤
Thanks you!
Add a slumber jack roadhouse tarp to keep the rain off
Great idea Dave! 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors thanks. I own one and it’s fantastic
I'm American & 6' 1",.. which is average here. I've never er seen a tent etc. That was less than 7' long. Other than that, it's a cool set up for solo camping. But 5' 9"'s & your touching the end !!!
Kenton 6'1" is not the average in the US! 😁 Its 5' 9" but if you said you lived in the Netherlands I would have agreed! 😄 But you are right - It should be at least 6' to accommodate more people. The cot is huge and could easily support a bigger tent! 👍 Thanks for the feedback!
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 ???
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 😉
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.
Having a cot to put a tent on top of is a dam good idea by far yet .
This is one of the most versatile setups I own! 👍
I think the green 1s are authorized in the army
The army do love green 😄
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.
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! 👍
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.
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! 👍
Esta casa si me gusta,tiene un fondo para dormir,casi ninguna la tiene,
¡Gracias mi amigo! 👍
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.
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 👍
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
I think the TETON XXL would be bigger than the tent footprint as that tent is designed for a standard GI cot. 👍
Great Great video. Is there a way to stake the cot down? Or would we have to improvise
You can tie out the fly with guys lines on both the standard and the Elite fly via loops sewn into the fabric 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Great to know. Thanks!
How many WOWS! will you allow? One betterment, I think “ bear paws” under each of the six ground touch points in case you hit one ore more soft ground points that might take you offa comfy horizontal?
Great idea Donald! 😄
Well, this is ultimately an ad for Teton, but damn do I like it.
Hahaha - I've been a fan of their gear for years and have bought this all with my own money, apart from the Vista 1 which they sent out for review. I used the old yellow model for many years before the upgrade 😉 For the only its a great setup if you buy the bundle! 👍
Just a field tested favourite.
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
Thanks Alice - I've slept in this setup down to -30c ruclips.net/video/YLgUT-tQ4jE/видео.html (I think I used my -45c sleeping bag 🤔 and would recommend a closed cell foam pad under the TETON pad). With the -34c TETON bag I've been down to -18c without problems 👍 ruclips.net/video/DiZCijf36yg/видео.html - Hope that helps! 👍
The Emporium Outdoors that’s pretty cold! More than I could probably handle. Thanks for the reply.
@@aliceg9571 Yup - It take some effort at that temperature but the winter is so beautiful! 👍
The Emporium Outdoors Yes it is very beautiful. Not too much of that, sadly, here is Texas. :(
How is the sleeping bag?. Love the set up I bought the cot and pad. Glad I waited on the tent I to thought the bright colors was not me.
Hi John - Good call! The green was worth the wait! 😄 I like the sleeping bag as its square and has lots of room. I have the Fahrenheit XXL -25ºF Sleeping Bag & the Fahrenheit XL -25ºF Sleeping Bag (left zip). They are great for the $99 price tag. I've had them down to 0F without any issues and they take are durable. Hope that helps! 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors thank you I did look at both bags, I couldn't pull the trigger. The length on them seemed to long for the cot tent setup. And the low -25 rating seemed would be to warm for most of my uses. But do like the products and their costs.
I have this same set up, im 6'2" but i sleep on my side anyway
That would work - its limited to less than 6ft if you stretch out 😄
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 ?
Thats a fine idea and I've used a similar trick with tarps! Great thinking! 😉
If the outfitter XXL were a different color, green or brown, which one would you choose , vista 1 or outfitter XXL
Hi Marie - The Vista 1 is the replacement for the Outfitter XXL Tent. I think they will be phasing it out but I don't know that for sure. I think they are almost the same price - maybe $10/20 different.
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 !
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! 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors ...excellent, thank you so much.
It seems to make more sense with the rainfly on.
Does it fit both you and your dog?
Its does - I've slept with 2 small dogs and its fine for room 👍
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors, good to know! Cool they do not have to sleep outside, in the dark and the cold!
Happy camping!
I really like this setup but at 6 feet tall and a 90 pound Lab I am sure it would be too tight a squeeze. Wish it was long enough for the 6 ft + people.
😬 Yea that's pushing it - The cot is absolutely huge 85" x 40" its the tent sides, especially the foot end slopes in tighter then the head end. Maybe check out the Kamp-Rite tent cot. Cabela's sells it under their own brand. I'd head over to a local Cabela's store and test it before I bought it for sizing! 😉
@@TheEmporiumOutdoors Thank you sounds like I am off to Cabelas tomorrow.
