  • A quick vid on how to get the coleman octagon 8 back in its bag.
    I first put the poles and pegs into the storage bag making sure they are flat on the bottom
    Then fold as instructed easy!

    I've used this tent 4 times this year and this video saved me! Every time I succeeded in getting it into the bag due to this helpful video so thank you! Awesome tent, has been through the mill in torrential rain and high winds and still remained standing with no leaks!

    Thank you. This is a game changer. Put my tent up yesterday as a trial run but failed miserably to get it back in the bag. This worked perfectly. Genius!

    Mate, you saved my life. You don't know how many times I cursed at this tent wondering how it was ever going to get back in its poxy little bag!

    Thanks for taking the time to make this video it is a big help in getting the tent back in the bag. The secret is in getting it the right width for the bag and getting the air out - I roll over it myself to do this before folding it up.

    We bought this tent last year and had a few trips with it, it’s a great tent,
    The first time, I had to leave the bag with the poles out, but by the time we got home, with the bag compressed with the rest of the luggage, the poles did fit in the bag. The second trip, No problem at all putting it back in the bag. The main trick is to push all the air out and let it deflate completely, and it fits perfectly. Quite surprising what a difference that makes!!
    We actually put the poles in first, then the divider screen and outer fly, and then just put the main part on top, No problems whatsoever.

    Is the central ‘star shaped’ plastic hub for the roof poles detachable? It seems with that stuck in the middle it would be difficult to roll up tightly, and it may pierce or tear the fabric as you do so.

    i am wondering to buy either this or octagon 8 blackout. my concern is that blackout can get super hot in the summer but on the other hand, getting woken up with the sunrise also doesn't sound great. is this tent getting super bright or does the walls actually cover from the sunlight a bit?

    Good to see you are bare foot as usual: kiwi style. I bet your neighbours don't fold their tents in their back yards without shoes. Heck, they probably don't even have tents to fold up! Probably too busy writing dissertations on the true metaphysical meaning of Brexit. ..
