GREAT REVIEW! Whiteduck Regatta bell hot tents are a fantastic lifetime purchase for serious campers/hunters. They are well worth the extra money! I am a solo DIY elk hunter. For me, a 10' Whiteduck tent works well. I have just enough room for my cot, gear, and wood stove. In all honesty, I classify this as a one-person tent. The 13' Whiteduck bell tent is great for 2-3 hunters. I classify these as base-camp only tents. Their too heavy to haul into the backcountry for a drop camp. However, for a base-camp tent, you can't do better for the price! As a bug-out shelter, this is my first choice! P.S. Buy the lighter shades of tent material. The darker shades are too dark and depressing inside. I have a 8'x10' cargo trailer in which I keep all my camping/fishing/hunting gear squared away and good to go. I just hook on to my trailer and away I go. If your like me, you have a trailer dedicated to all your wilderness adventures.
I bought the White Duck 10ft Regatta tent back this past May 2023 I set it up for several days, then repacked it up. I bought it for EVAC's, because of Monsoon season fires from thunderstoms. I purposly chose the 10 ft Regatta instead of the 13 ft, because im just about 70 yrs old. 51# vs 71# = PAIN, as i learned in Infantry and Armor, during the Vietnam war.
Yes, the weight is something for sure! That said, I am sure the 10' is plenty large as well. I do love this tent and will be creating another video soon to go over my review and the trip I took with it, so stay tuned!
Thanks for the review!! By using the smaller stakes around the small perimiter you can push them far enough into the ground to avoid a tripping hazard. The large stakes as another noted are for the guy lines and can also be hammered pretty close to ground level though sometimes a bugger to pull up.....but better than stubbing a foot on one. :)
Ummm, you used the pegs totally the wrong way around. The "rebar" peg - storm pegs - should be used on the guy ropes and the smaller pegs, used with the groundsheet. Just so you know...

Great review. Just bought the same one and it will be delivered next week. Looking forward to using it.
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have so far!

Excellent points to consider and setup was easy to follow. Excellent vdeo.
I truly like this tent a lot, another video is coming soon.
excellent review! very well detailed and easy to follow. thank you so much for making this video!
Nice, instructive, video. Thanks
awesome review, thank you!
It seems from the video that the ventilation openings at the bottom have no bug mesh installed. If so, that is a design failure.
Tempted to buy one now. How well does it perform in heavy prolonged rain?
It has been a year. Can we get a final honest review yet?

👏❤❤
Where is it made?
