I got one second hand, and it is roomier than I expected, fitting me and two grandkids. I love it, and thanks to your video, I was able to break it down, lol. I actually stick my under blanket and sleeping bag inside the carrier.
Just received mine today and spent an hour trying to close it up with no luck. Now that I've watched this video, and my heart rate has begun to slow, I'll try it again!
Your video did help with teardown, but I wouldn't say teardown is fast or easy. It's very hard to visualize what becomes a figure 8. I'm not sure I'll want to set it up again now that I've achieved the miracle of collapsing it into the bag! The company would do well to include a link to an instruction video, but thankfully you have one that works.
Ha ha…I get that. I felt the same way at first, but once you practice it a few times it’s actually pretty easy. It’s like tying your shoes. Might seem daunting at first, but once you learn the trick, it’s simple. Thanks for watching!
No, it’s still there :) If you look in the gig description you’ll see that I left links to the 4 person, 2 person, and 1 person tents. They are all labeled, but the 1 person is the last one listed. Still time to cancel your Amazon order and use my link to get 10% off :)
Realistically, setup includes taking out of the bag up to staking it down. No one can do that in 3 seconds. Worst case scenario, remove from bag, open, climb inside. Still will take more than 3 seconds. That being said, I'm going to buy one because it doesn't take long to set up or break down.
Totally agree! At less than $80, I would call this above average quality. It seems to be will built. This style of tent is meant to be lightweight, so keep that in mind.
I like the way they designed the windows. I wish more tents were zipper the windows from the inside like that. In warm climates it often rains but you need max ventilation. Getting out in the middle of the night to put rain flys on is a horrible tent design imo
Thanks for watching. Videos like this aren’t meant to be a comprehensive review but rather summary of features and initial impressions on the product. When it comes to outdoor equipment, there’s no way to test it in every possible scenario before making a video :)
What do you think? Would you camp in this tent? Let me know in the comments below!

@@truuluvv That's so cool! You must have gotten the bigger version. I thought that one looked the coolest :)

Ha ha…I get that feeling! Once you get it, you’ll find it easy each time :) Glad the video helped!
Awesome design and practicality
Agreed! Everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
Just got my night cat 2-4 person yesterday, very nice tent
Sweet! How do you like it?

This is so cool
Thanks! Be sure to subscribe for more videos like this :)
Wonderful
Thanks so much!
here i was about to order the core 6 person lighted dome tent that can be assembled in 5 minutes, you put a kink into my thinking.
Ha ha…yeah, this one really does make it hard to consider other traditional style tents. Sets up so fast!
love the video enjoy the new subscriber
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Loved the ninja turtle comment. Was my exact thought at the beginning of the video lol
Ha ha. Thanks! You must be a 90s kid like me :)
@@TheTravelerToolKit you got it dude 👍
@@jwillzthrillz Have mercy :) Ha ha.
I wonder how can I carry this on my bike when bikepacking ?
Great idea! I think you could find a way to strap it to something with the backpack straps it has connected to the carrying case.
I just ordered mine with a sleeping pad
Sweet! That pad will be nice, too :)
Just ordered it on Amazon, your link to their page did not show the 1 person tent.
Maybe they are discontinuing it?
No, it’s still there :) If you look in the gig description you’ll see that I left links to the 4 person, 2 person, and 1 person tents. They are all labeled, but the 1 person is the last one listed. Still time to cancel your Amazon order and use my link to get 10% off :)
Nice tent,used mine 1st time at the weekend,unfortunatly it leaked from the seam at the bottom of the tent
Really? Sorry to hear that.

Yeah, if you count all those steps it’s definitely not 3 seconds…Still pretty quick though :) I think you’ll like it!
What about the quality? I would gladly pay more if well built.
Totally agree! At less than $80, I would call this above average quality. It seems to be will built. This style of tent is meant to be lightweight, so keep that in mind.
I like the way they designed the windows. I wish more tents were zipper the windows from the inside like that. In warm climates it often rains but you need max ventilation. Getting out in the middle of the night to put rain flys on is a horrible tent design imo
Totally agree! Cross ventilation is so important. Thanks for watching!
What's the point of a tent review that hasn't been tested through rain storms?
Thanks for watching. Videos like this aren’t meant to be a comprehensive review but rather summary of features and initial impressions on the product. When it comes to outdoor equipment, there’s no way to test it in every possible scenario before making a video :)
Not everyone wants a tent that goes through those elements I guess I guess it just depends on the purpose of how you want to use it
That’s also true…few things are worse than camping in the rain :)
