- This video shows how to set up the Ozark Trail one person tent cot. Throughout the assembly process I share tips along the way as I discover the various features that make the instant set up and tear down quick and easy. I did mange to get this raised up in close to a minute, but that was only the screened portion. It's the rain fly cover that actually takes some extra time. I include some tips on how to attach the rain fly that will help you get your tent set up quick.

Some Observations Not Included In The Review Video
1. There doesn't seem to be any type of manual locking device that needs to be set in order for the support legs of the cot to lock in place.
2. There are some small storage areas under the cot and inside that I didn't mention.
The tips that I share in this video will help you get your Ozark Trail 1- Person Instant Tent Cot With Rainfly set up fast and easy making your camping experience more enjoyable. I will be doing a more comprehensive review of this product once I have actually taken it out camping.
Some music in this video is from www.bensound.com/
Appreciate you more for the set up attempt without reading instructions first. Your dedication to real world situations comes through because you know none of us would read the paperwork first either.
Nice that it keeps you up off the ground.
Ha ha...thanks for the encouragement.
I don't.
I’ve owned this cot tent for a few years and it has seen a lot of use in all 4 seasons. I never buy Walmart brand camping gear but I gotta say this cot tent is well made for the price. One tip, lube the zippers and lube any frame piece that moves. I do this once in the summer and winter. I also have a Kamp rite but prefer the cheaper Ozark Trails cot tent. Packs up much smaller and sits a littler higher off the ground. The base is rock solid no need to worry if this is stable. Last item. I’ve had this in long hard rainstorms with no leaks and I’ve never needed to seam seal or coat the rain fly.
What do you use when you lube the zippers?
@@kf4293 I’ve used a variety of brands. Gear aid,zipper ease and yeti. All seem to do well. I like the yeti because. It come in a small package that looks like a chapstick tube. I keep it in my pack
Hey JC just a recommendation. Get a can or two of Coleman seam seal. Set it up again and spray seal all your sewn seams from the inside to help protect against water intrusion. Nice vid again. 👍🏻
Great tip. I just looked at that product, very reasonably priced. I like that...
Great tip Kevin!
Not necessary.
Hi JC, very informative and easy to understand. I'll bet if you were on that public land and a nasty storm cloud was looming overhead that you could do it in a minute... Lol
Now that I've practiced, perhaps I could. Thanks!
Haha. Watched this video to see how he put on fly, as I have so much trouble with mine. What a pain! Matthew is right. Start at bottom.
We have those instant two minute pop up tents . Never minutes with us 🤣 just headaches 🤣😁 . Awsome Stuff Rad Reeling 😎👍
You need to do the rain fly starting at the bottom. I have the same tent and camped in this a dozen times. I have a Camp Rite XL as well and the Ozark Trail is the best designed Cot Tent I have ever used. Good video but really need to follow the instructions if you want to do a 60 second tutorial or unboxing.
Hello J C. Great video I like this tents. I have been looking at 1 for a long time and just haven't purchased one yet. I like the way the tent looks and sets up. It's always a pain in the neck on the first time. Happy Holidays to you.
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, it will go quick if I get out there and use it soon.
Hi JC, Pretty cool tent. Have fun, Mickey
Thanks for watching. I'll be putting it to good use soon.
Thank you for doing this video. I did run into trouble until I tried to put the rainfly on...😉
Exactly what I am looking for
Excellent video and you sold me on buying this!!!!!
I love the tent. I camped in it twice, very firm cot and comfortable.
Much easyer than the yak cart. Thank you
Thanks for watching.
Great Videos looks like a super nice rig ! Love your channel thanx Smokeywilson
It's going to workout fine for what my intentions are for sure. Thanks for watching.
It helps if you read the instructions first
I've Looked At This Many Times...First Review I've Seen...My First Thought Was It Looks To Me A Pin-Ball Machine...Looks Cool How Did It Preform...Great Review ...
it's been great! I've camped with it about four times now.
@@RadReelingFishing I have the same one. FYI, the rain fly goes on easier if you put it on before you extend the poles all the way up.
Good video
Get ya some of this seam sealer and do every seam on the fly.Just rub it on and get it into where the thread goes through good,that's the main spot for leaks.
I been using it for more than 20 yrs on my North Face tent.
Down there in FL on those warm muggy days you may want to forget the fly and just tie a string between 2 trees and throw a tarp over it so you have the max airflow.
Thanks for the tips. I will do both of those for sure. How often do you apply the seam sealer?
@@RadReelingFishing
Probably over did it but I would just do it every time I set it up.,but I prefer to be safe than wet...lol
@@RadReelingFishing Ahh looks like I forgot to add the link for the sealer....duh...lol

Pretty cool cot.
*Hey JC... So where are the ratcheting tie down straps for the roof...surely there can't be any room left inside of your Toyota Solara* ... gw
The only funny part of the whole video was the Chevy shirt with the banjo music lol. Im just kidding, great vid JC!
JC, I hope you might check out some of the local state parks for fishing/camping oppt and let us know. Best Chris
Hi Chris, that's the plan for sure. I've been looking at the EG Simmons park. It's about $18 per night which is in my budget. The only draw back is it's first come first serve, no reservations, very odd.
Hey JC ... the music playing starting at 1:24 is that you preforming? That was really catchy & good mandolin and guitar tune.
Thanks for watching. No. It's free music from the Yotube library.
@@RadReelingFishing Well... I think you are good enough to use your own tunes... but then again...you have a full schedule keeping us entertained with snot fishing and how to survive dry land kayak flipping...
Bought 2 today
You're going to like the for sure.
I am 6’4” and using the same tent last 3 years love it.
Looks like you could put some gear underneath too
What's the music at 2:43?
I like it...
It's Royalty free from Ben Sound. Just click on the rock selection and click on a few that are free, you'll find it quick.
If at first you don't succeed read the instructions 😁🤣.
Thanks for the vid mate, does look like a knock-off Oztent Bunker without the canvas cover though?
Watching from Oz and seriously it is quicker to chuck a swag on a stretcher (cot) like so many do here, and a decent swag will last you years/decades 🦘
It's a great tent. I've used it three times now, very comfortable with plenty of support. Thanks for watching.
How much was the cost ? Looks pretty good.

How good does it do in high winds or any kind of winds
It has ropes and stakes if needed.
Good rock music
Love your music
How are you supposed to get in there without it toppling over? And then getting it zipped up once inside can't be easy. Hope it works out for you!
There are zippers on the inside. Getting in is just like any other cot. For some reason it's stable. Thanks.
What's are instructions.?😷😁
I DO SAME BUILD FRIST THEN LOOK AT THE INSTRUCTION..
30 pounds?!? I thought the whole point of these things was to be small and light weight. My 3 person dome tent weighs less than half that with MUCH more room. Still kinda neat though
Just wonder, that fits in the bed of a pick up truck
You'd have to find the specifications for the tent.
It's too bad it is only rated for 300 lbs. Me with any gear just would be too much.
You should have read that instruction manual.
Hahaha. Instructions?? Nice little tent
Thanks for watching. Yeah, it's a good set up for one guy who wants to travel light.
that tent is terrible..
$120 to expensive
Actually its not too bad. Maybe try to find on used.
@@miamiwax5504 yeah you're right I guess I haven't gone camping in a long time wow
Probably not that bad of deal honestly. A folding cot will run you 75-100$ alone. This has the bonus of tent also.
I did a search on walmarts website its $99 on there
Really my only question is durability. If this thing can last thats an excellent product for that price. Anybody try this out?
