Aww that's cute it has a little hat
The bad tent tests are probably my favourite. 😂
100%
Thanks for saving me 80+ dollars, I've been looking at this one for awhile now. Thank you thank you
I have a two person tent a few years ago. I’ve been caught in storms and it did not leak and I only payed $25 at Walmart. The fact that this tent is $80 and leaks before it even starts raining is insane
I have actually purchased the newer style one person backpacking tent from Walmart. Its the blue and white one dome style and it came seam sealed for $26:99. But that was only because Luke had went on a complain campaign on walmart so they made that. Thanks Luke! And yes just to be sure I gave it a light spray of silicone. From walmart as well. Again thanks to Luke!
I got similar 3 man one from kmart. I use it in summer without the fly just as a fly screen dome
How the heck does it " leaks before it even starts raining"? You misunderstood something.
@@axemanners6643
The floor wasn't waterproof,. It was leaking through the floor before the rains even started
Thanks for the honest review. Since the floor was letting water in from the ground, I wonder if the tent did leak more and it simply drained thru the floor and back out of the tent in to the ground. Hmmmm? 🤔
Maybe, the tent LEAKS WATER OUT as fast as it leaks rain in; then yer good, right? (Ha, ha, ha)
Well done. Love all reviews.
That thought crossed my mind! Maybe this is more of a strainer than a shelter! 😂
Oh, I just commented the same thing! Right back out through the floor 😂
Yep that's how the Three Stooges took care of leaks in their boat. Oh a wise guy eh?
Beat me to it. LOL
Totally what I was thinking.
I appreciate your being brutally honest! This is just a play tent for the kids on a dry summer day.
brilliant! 🤣 I have those pegs on a 3' x 2' plastic greenhouse that fits two tomato plants! I think the lack of water inside could be because it's all drained through the groundsheet 🤣
1:27 lol! Love the honesty. That’s why you do the best reviews hands down.
this is where I'd love to see someone from the manufacturer comment with their responses to your review...LOL. Great review - all products can't be great, so reviews like this are invaluable.
Or guest star and spend a night in a tent they produce.
Well done to the subscriber that sent in the tent for review! Bravo!
Love the honesty. So refreshing on RUclips
This bloody thing needs a tent fly on the top of it!!! .PERIOD. GREAT VID.✅🤣😂Thank you.
I expected it to be full of water but then I remembered the holes you noticed. And, the fact that the floor was taking on water without it raining. Between the holes and any water that might make it's way out through the floor it may have not even been able to hold water very long. Nothing like a tent with it's own drainage system.
0:44 There's your problem, Luke --- You tossed the setup instructions!😉
Gotta love the Yarmulka of a rain fly.
That rain fly was hilarious, the floor was a bigger joke. Thank you for showing us the truth , $80 and still need a tarp , stick wash cloth and a ridge line , definitely need a ground sheet. ( Can of camp dry would just make it rain on the inside ) , and pool on the floor.
Haven't seen a nylon floor since 2003, ( texsport tents )gave me flash backs. Of traveling acress the the country and camping by the oil roads in PA , In the allegheny forest ,With a candle lantern , hobo can stove and a tent, simple times.
Just started my channel, if one day my videos are half the quality of yours I'll be over the moon with myself. Outstanding.
I’m so glad I got the light fighter tent. When looking for a multicam pattern 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks brother…..
Luke, your honesty is SO refreshing amongst all the sold out outdoor youtubers! More of this please! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I used to have an old Coleman pop tent probably 60 tears ago.Actually it was a very easy tent to set up and not bad for leakage but if it was windy it would lay down in the wind then pop upright if the wind gust stopped. It would snap back upright so hard that if the tent wasn’t staked down it would actually move during the nite. Used that old tent for many years.
It's the baby beanie of all rainflies! 🤣
These tents are for dry only camping. Have a friend with a few kids that camp. Works great for them. How? At the beach campgrounds. Use a large tarp for the ground for 3 of these. With an even bigger tarp above set almost like a plow point shelter. I’m like you lookin at it but after seeing it used for a week in Hatteras, one night it did storm, and there was zero issues. And it’s great for the kids to set them up alone. Hell just watching them do the pop up was worth the lol. 6, 7, &8.
Just tested my $80 (AUD) Oztrail Nomad 2, out for wind and rain. Waterproof and spacious and definitely a better put together 2 person tent. It took me a while to find my entry-level tent. They are out there. Thank you for helping me with my research.
I use a pop-up tent like this for the convenience of setting it up and taking it down for car camping only. But I use a waterproof tarp under it and another over it to keep it dry. I won't rely on it to keep me dry during storms.
With all that setting up tarps, you might as well get a decent, waterproof tent. Vango are very affordable, and waterproof
@@aodh5966 True. But I have already bought the tent. Tarp use is a necessary afterthought redundance.
@@4-SeasonNature it's working for you so why waste money? I put a tarp under my tent too, it makes the groundsheet less cold, one thing about Vango is their groundsheets are too thin, waterproof but thin
Another good review. This reminds me of one in green I saw a few years ago. It wasn’t much either. I believe they should market this type of tent as “the backwoods bathtub”.
Thank you for the name mention! That made me day! Love being apart of your Patreon group!
Hilarious!! Love your comments!
Mine was £23 and I used it under a fly sheet as a bedroom. It is terrible, but it keeps the wind off, and it's easy to set up after a long days motorcycling. On behalf of the UK, thanks for the review...
I’m so glad you review tents
Those tent stakes are the same thing as my inflatable decorations use! Same with the guide lines! That is the scariest tent I have ever seen. Thanks Luke from saving people from dangerous products that should not even be out there!
I grew up with a cheapskate for a dad. All tents were from Walmart or Kmart. Those stakes were the only ones we used. Very frustrating!
That would be fine IMO. I'd put a tarp over the top, and set it up where it wouldn't soak through the bottom. But $80 is way too much. I agree
Crying with laughter. The insults are great!
The color sceem is out of this world.
I must say you made me laugh with this review i was hoping u was in it all night lol thanks from the UK 👍
I love seeing the cheap tent reviews. I love the hidden gems amongst the rubbish. :)
Hi, your comment about all pop up tents being similar quality wasn't a fair comment. The Slumit Gobi 2 and 3 are excellent pop ups. And British made!
Again my all time favorite Cheap Tent was and still is Ozark Trails.
Better get a can of camp dry while your in the isle , set it up on a warn sunny day, (RAIN FLY ON ) seal up. Spray let dry. Vent for 24 hrs . don't forget the nylon bottom gets sprayed too , 2 cans. If you spray under the rain fly , it will rain in your tent.
Did under the fly with a texsport tent, had to live with it . all nylon tent.
@@ardymoon6243 Well I don't know about how they make them today but I lived in one in Steamboat Springs CO for 30 days and it rained almost every day and I never got wet. It's on my videos. I can prove this and it was a $25 tent.
Thanks for the info on this so called tent, lol! I would have never gotten one of the pop up tents, even if it was free. 😂
I got a huge pop up tent with the same stakes, it was waterproof after a few days rain. I loved it. Had a spot for ac and I used it.
Your reviews are spot on, to the point and very through. THANK YOU
Great review my friend...thank you....have a great day...
Thank you for info Mr. Luke! 🧋
Great channel, was going to buy the sierra designs from target and head out during an atmospheric rain river. Watched your reviews, returned the tent, spend a few extra dollars on a better one. Tell ya what! was dry in the midst of a torrent for many days in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the heads up. I have had leaky tents before, and trust me, that is no fun and a stress downer. I could have carried a tarp or drop cloth plastic under the fly, but the drop cloth adds humidity because it is plastic and tarp is bulky. keep up the Great work and GOOD JOB! Thanks. it is sad that most people are paid to review, we need independent and honest reviews, and in the media that is lacking and you embody it.
What a POS I'm so glad we have you on RUclips! Love your honesty.
I remember getting tent stakes like that in the 1980s with the $20 tents sold at Walmart. However, those were intended to be good-weather tents and were mostly for protection against insects and dew. I did use one in the (unexpected) rain overnight and it was actually fine.
EXTREMUS SUBSCRIBED to your channel. 🤣
"Hey, my mom had a huge pile of material she's had since the 70's! What should we do with it?"
"I know, let's go into the tent making business! How hard can it be?"
Hey Luke. How about a camera review for those of us wanting to up our video and photo game?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on various budget ranges. Not too many RUclipsrs have earned the trust you have.
👍Good work stay safe man 🌈
Thanks Luke! 👍
I like the fact that the Extremus is a freestander and therefore don't needs pegs on hard ground.
I also like the small overhanging porch so you can keep the upper part of the door unzipped for ventilation, a welcome feature that most domes don't have.
As for waterproofing, just throw a fly over it from another tent to stay completely dry, and use a mat to stay off a damp floor..:)
PS- But I hate the bright blue colour which would attract aliens and zombies from miles around..:)
Thanks Little Brother...good review. Streanght and Honor!
There are also double wall automatics... Decathlon...and keego...and i used one in the ardennes....very heavy rain, but not a drop in it..ok, i went home before the disaster....all rivers went up 3 meters...was in the news several days...
I think it's the perfect tent for a drunk! Nice and easy set-up. Maybe toss a $4 harbor freight 9x12 tarp over it and call it a night.
Have you been camping with me and my friends?😂👍
@@rickycowan6969 I can't remember....I was drunk!!!
@@fritzkabeano1969 😂🍻🍻👍
I can understand why many people look for low priced camping gear. I'm amazed at how many folks I meet who've never gone hiking and camping. So, there's plenty of people just starting out and they don't know what to look for, or even have determined whether they'll like hiking and camping or not. So, like most new hobbies, people tend to buy the cheaper gear first. Which is unfortunate because poor quality gear that doesn't work as intended can ruin an otherwise great outdoor experience.
the answer is - I will buy a cheap tent because I will use it very rarely or I want to just test if camping is for me, and I don't want to spend $$$ on more expensive gear.
😂😂😂the tent stakes..." garbage " totally honest ...thats why you are the best man! Cheers * Jeep
Thank you for sharing the facts and truth and details
I bought a Magellan arrowhead tent ⛺ from academy for $16 then i mixed a whole tube of silicone with a pint of mineral spirits, put it in a spray bottle and soaked down the entire thing with it twice and allowed it dry for two days.
Guess what?
This little thing can withstand Hurricane conditions without a single drop💧of water getting in!
And the bonus is it's ventilated very well and has no trouble with condensation or sweating...
The lesson is, it just goes to show that even the cheapest piece of crap tent can be made useable with a little effort if you know what you're doing.
☮️✌️
You know, that tube of caulk and can of thinner likely doubled (if not quadrupled) the cost of the tent. I'd bet a tube of Dow Silaflex and the pint of thinner would cost more than $16.00 now.
Teton Sports makes a 1 and 2 person popup tent that seems to be of much better quality. I have purchased one (unopened return on Amazon Warehouse for $62 normally $100) to use on a future backpacking trip, mainly because I get lazy after a long day of hiking and like the easy freestanding setup. I'm kind of excited to test it out, not much rain where I live AZ, so I guess that will be the true test maybe condensation as well. It is 4.6 lbs, which is lighter than my usual hammock setup w/ tarp and underquilt though.
I bought a cheap Ozark Trails 2 person dome tent about 20 years ago, its a little bulky but its a great 3 season tent. I think I paid $20.00 for it. Its never leaked a drop Best thing I ever bought at Wal Mart.
Poncho and string best tent ever
Good honest reviews, keep up the good work!
saw this on FB and bam...your reviewing it...awesome....knew it was junk
I'd rather have a 10x10 walmart tarp at least you'd know what you're getting into and it only cost 10 bucks.
Dry all night.
best thing to do when using ANY tent is buy a construction type tarp , they are small and very very little extra weight and can fit in small pockets , waterproof - have metal rings on corners for tying off and best of all very very cheap .
if you have tent problems this can solve most of them in one single small lightweight easy solution.
use as a ground mat for under the tent , can be used to cover the tent as an extra layer to keep heat in and can be pegged in with the tent pegs (or random wooden pegs made from branches)
Would you please review the Nemo Dragonfly 2p tent? I really like the Nemo brand but have concerns with wind resistance of the rain fly. Huge fan of the channel! Thank you for everything.
Could the tent actually be as bad as you thought it was? When you first set the tent up you said you realized that the floor wasn't waterproof, it was getting was from under the tent. Possible that the swimming pool you mentioned was there, it was just able to drain by the time you got back to it?
Thanks for your content
Thanks for the tips
I can't believe how bad that is, I have something very similar made by Slummit and its amazing! It's sturdy, totally waterproof and even has a removable inner skin which does a fantastic job and preventing condensation. If you want to be pleasantly surprised try one, I have the cub2, and yeah it's Slummit not summit 😁
You sure you didn't mistake the gear loft for the rainfly? ;)
Thank you❤❤❤
My Boy Scout Troop had 2 person tents that used those tent stakes, I was a Scoutmaster from 1974 to 1996 and the 12 tents were all the same and they all had those stakes. I believe we only had one storm that took out the steaks and it was a bad storm. We had been plenty of storms in the Troops History.
I think these stakes were quite a bit thinner than the old ones. I still carry a couple of the old wire stakes for particularly tough ground, specifically because they aren't as bendy as the ones in the video.
Well…. Good news is the rain sound on the tent sounds wonderful……
I was thinking, "Does it matter what type of 💩it is when you step in it?" Just walk around it and move on...
Thanks for the warning once again 👍
💪+ 🇺🇸
The Reactive Outdoor Tent DOES have two decent sized ceiling vents but none directly on the sides of the tent. The two doors can help with that for cross ventilation. The small 'Fly' at the top is mainly just a beauty cover for the mechanism at the top. The actual Rain Fly is built into the tent. I recently purchased one primarily because of the ease of putting up and taking down. I haven't used it yet and will likely use waterproofing spray to treat the outside. As far as the stakes go that's typical for tents in this price range and are usable. If you want something more rigid you can purchase them for a dollar each at most retail stores. You're not going to get high quality stakes until you get into the higher quality/expensive tents.
Love your videos man.
omg instant leakage on the floor that's without the rain . yep not good , nice one luke for doing all what you do and show us
Are there any quick set up tents like this one that are of good quality?
A big no go , but . I actually watched a guy use one of these ( not this brand ) pop-up tent while riding his Bike from An Arbor Michigan to Florida . His trip was halted in Tn. because he got news that his mom had passed . He did go and pick up his bike and cart , and finished the trip using that tent . I " think " he applied spray once during that trip. Be safe folks , and stock up now ... gubs
I suggest a review of the 3Ful Lanshan tent! Very popular in the ultralight world
Lol.....it never occurred to me that I should have stayed home because I shouldn't have been able to pitch my Zpacks Duplex by myself while solo backpacking! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice rain jacket!!! What kind is it???
Well done Luke great content most of all you get what you pay for so I’m thinking you need to check out the product before you buy and do your homework on products thanks Luke strength and honor ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🌈🌈
Looks like a throw away kite, you can buy on the boulevard for kids. 5 minutes of fun
The effort people go to to avoid getting a decent budget tent. Seriously, an Alps Lynx is *barely* more expensive than this and is a great tent.
....good one, keep safe..
Thank you for the video.
Well that was fun Luke!
Not a tent to take seriously, maybe it would pass as a fair weather play tent for youngsters pretending to camp in the family garden, if mum and dad were ok with the $80 cost!
Thanks for posting and best wishes to you and Suzy and family.
Hey Bob, what do we use with this left-over material? Heck, let's just give them a "Rainfly"
That rainfly started off life as a Brock-A-Brella.
What would say is good value tent out there to day and why
It's like this tent is for kids to play with in the backyard on a sunny day.
I expected that tent to wash away! Luke what poncho is that? Im looking for one myself actually
I got one of those for free. I use it at the beach or day trips. I would not take it out for overnight camping. It's a better-than-nothing shelter.
I was just given a Reactive pop up as a gift and looking for reviews, and I couldn’t find your actual review on it, just this one where you mentioned it in passing? … Honestly as a purely recreational camper, this quality doesn’t bother me. I’m watching the forecast, laying a tarp underneath, using camp dry all over it, etc. The Reactive does have mesh panels behind the doors that can function as vents, too, so I’m not worried about that. Just hoping it survives condensation and maybe an unexpected sprinkle. 🙂 if so, maybe I’ll upgrade one of these days.
That mechanism is the same as a tent I got in the UK with almost instant popup. The difference was the quality of the one I got was much better (Urban Escape) and lasted for about 8 years. In the end the groundsheet degraded and let in water so I replaced the tent but it did hold up to rough weather and torrential rain. Last time I used it though I woke up to puddles inside the tent :(
The coleman easy up tents are full proof and some are as easy to set up as this but don't leak !
You know, I genuinely love the concept of these... The mechanism of action. So why the hell doesn't a goid company step up and do these properly? Durable fabric... Radio welded seams... Quality poles... A proper rainfly (as opposed to a rain hat)... Seriously, if a company did these properly, it would be a hit.
I do wish you would always have popup descriptions of everything you use and wear and, if you've done a video, then title of videos on said item.
What wuld be the best pop up tent waterprof 2 to 3 man for motorcycling? Reactive outdor 3 sec looks good but i dont know about pols hanges they good? Wul
Is it worth aftermarket waterproofing on a lower priced tents and if so which one is best, great vlog again thanks. Steve
