6:17 Condolences to you and your Family Luke.
Same Luke , Sorry for your Loss
Thank you all very much.
S&H to you all.
- Luke
Man I hope you feel better! I lost both of parents and older brother deaths so I understand time is best healer!
Sorry for your Loss
Hi Luke, thank you for this excellent review on our Gossamer II tent. Sorry for loss, our thoughts are with you and your family!
All the best, the JACK WOLFSKIN social team
Had my 1-person version for many years now. I've used it in rain, sleet and snow and it's never leaked once. At one point I set it up in a very poor spot with a ground sheet that extended too far out the sides, I had an inch of water up the outside of the bathtub floor on all sides and water sloshing around beneath me. Zero leaks. I've had it up in the mountains in Sweden and Norway, I've taken it on numerous fishing trips, car camping and so on. It has the same zipper design and I have never had a single issue with bugs getting inside. So I'd chalk that up to the user simply not checking to make sure the zips almost kiss one another. It's a great tent and easy to recommend if you are OK with the weight and size.
Jesus loves you all very very much repent and believe and be saved from eternal punishment of sin amen, Jesus suffered for you
Can you sit up and change clothes inside
@@dimitrz2000 No. You have to do it lying down. It is finicky but doable. It's not a tent you want to be stuck inside for a long time. It is a quality tent in terms of materials and workmanship but it's not a tent for everyone.
@@dimitrz2000 Correction, I just set it up in my flat and you can sit up near the head end of the tent, but with a slightly arched back and with your hair touching the bugnet. Im 170cm or 5'6"
@@FuttFel many thanks , I got a fair idea.
I like to spend time inside my tents like reading a book , chatting with trek/ hike friends or cooking outside the tent opening with myself perched comfortably inside , in addition to changing cloths or body wipe ( incase bathing outside is not an option)
So tent space matters a lot to me , hence the question . And thanks for taking your time to answer in detail. 👍🏻
Speaking of creatures in a tent, one night I backpacked into a campsite at Point Reyes National Seashore about 30 miles north of San Francisco. It rained cats and dogs all night with high winds also. In the morning there was a Pacific Tree Frog in my tent. You know it rained hard when even a frog seeks refuge from the storm

@@Fit4C grovel for jesus
Bit of a non-sequitur there Dog Dog, but that’s all right, peace brother
I along with a few others were camping without tents for a night, just stick and leaf lean-to shelters and maybe a tarp. Apparently a raccoon came through the campsite and most of them retreated to their tents aside from the few of us who slept through it.
@@Fit4C Preach brother!! ruclips.net/video/1yW2pE2VvbE/видео.html
This is one of the best tents to keep your spiders dry and cozy.
2-for-1 tent and terrarium
I can imagine waking up in the middle of the night with a tent full of grandaddy long-leg 🕷 spiders crawling on me. Those things aren't poisonous but are as creepy as can be.

Especially right now here in Texas, the floods are bringing So many T's out of their burrows.
@@Fit4C can't you just go 5 minutes working on a personality instead of using faith as one in its stead?
I'm not a camping enthusiast, however I've found watching your videos enjoyable because you tell it like it is. You take the time to explain why something is good or bad. There is not many channels out there that will do that.
Hello Luke,
my name is Markus.
I'm from Germany. I have had the Gossamer I from Jack Wolfskin for many years. It was and is in frequent use in all weathers. I am thrilled to this day. It is dense, compact and light. A small tarp stretched over the entrance makes it easy to get on and off dry.
Many greetings from southern Germany.
P.S. You and Susi make great videos ..... it's fun to watch.
I know German winters are long & c-o-l-d.
Sounds like a pretty awesome tent, overall. Sorry for the loss in your family, Luke.
What happened?
@@bimazivanovic4784 He said in the video that he had a loss in his family. That's all I know.
Jesus loves you all very very much repent and believe and be saved from eternal punishment of sin amen, Jesus suffered for you
I love my original gossamer. Thank you for pointing out its one small flaw, I will cut the zip protector flap to make sure I am getting the zippers to 100% meet. Easy fix. The hydrostatic head on this is high. Anything below a 3 is to me heading for trouble in real time. I modify all my tents to make them much better, but if I paid for the mods instead it would make the tents far more expensive. One super huge mod is to leave in your fave camping site a perfectly cut thick pile carpet piece in a black plastic bag. It transforms a tent into a cabin.
I also own this tent.
Best waterproof tent I have ever owned.
Looks cool.
Quality.
👍
Sorry for you loss.
Thanks for finding time to make the review. I own a Mk2 Gossamer 2 and it's a solid tent!
Condolences on your loss. Wolfskin has a good reputation here in the UK.
Jesus loves you all very very much repent and believe and be saved from eternal punishment of sin amen, Jesus suffered for you
I'm sorry for your loss you and your family are in my prayers ❤🙏Strength and Honor
So sorry for you and your family's loss.
Sorry for your loss Luke, I'm glad I all ready have the tent, but I haven't been out in the rain with it yet, I'm so glad it passed your test night, another great video and review, thanks Luke.
Great review Luke but that amount of rain is not an event here in the UK - it’s just a Thursday 😆
🤣🤣🤣
So glad this tent has the styling AND quality! great review Luke, ty!
Nice! We know how Luke loves storms. This tent could be on my need to get list. Thanks for the review Luke.
I have a tent with the tiny gap at the zipper ends. When I zip up, for the night, I put a bandana or sock in the gap and zip it up - problem solved.
Nice tip, never had problems myself with that zip design but I may start doing this to be sure!
I used to have an older Nemo Galaxi 2p and it had the same issue. Ngl I just used a little tiny toilet paper plug in each one. Not elegant, but it worked!
@@quailypoes Also useful if you have to blow your nose. If you blow your nose with TP, do you think it would be grateful?
Awesome thanks for review. Thoughts and prayers for your entire family. Sorry for your loss.
I have owned two Jack Wolfskin Yellowstone tents for several years. The quality, waterproofing, ventilation, and durability are the best tents I have ever known. The affordable price makes it much sweeter. My tents have been used in heat and cold - no problems. Can't recommend them enough.
Luke you should work with a company to try produce your own tent. Take the practices and methods you know that make a good tent and try to make a good cost effective tent that you can actually confidently push to your viewers. I think that’d be pretty interesting.
You could even go and make a series on you reviewing different models of your own tent and giving feedback and deciding what the weaknesses are and how you’ll fix them :)
I stayed in the one person gossamer for a solid 4 months whilst backpacking and hitchhiking around New Zealand. It did me proud through both storms and incredibly hot weather. People thought I was a bit mad for staying in something so small for so long. But it was just somewhere to sleep and store my backpack. Kept the horrid sandflies out!
Wow...awesome tent...sorry for your loss....God Bless your family....Freedom for all people...
My Vango Cairngorm tent has the same zipper design with the piece of fabric covering the corner, never had issues with bugs if you take a moment to make sure they are properly closed (which I always do cause I HATE spiders!). The issue you mention in your full review of the door tie-off loops obstructing the zipper seems pretty minor, I feel like I'd live with it. I reckon this could be my new tent! The Welsh hills see their fair share of rain!! Looks like the perfect blend of the Ionosphere (which is comically small for my *ahem* larger frame) and the 2P size of my Vango, without the setup faff. Perfect! Thanks for your diligence as ever Luke!
Looks like a great tent for an affordable price, Thanks Luke.
My condolences Luke, sorry for your loss! God bless you and your family.
Would be nice to know your thoughts about staying over night in the tent during a rain storm.
its an awesome experience...especially if you are having sex...its fkng intense
I think you should do it.
Why do you have to see if it is waterproof before you will stay in it?
@@nancygreggpasiecznik4673 Have you every slept in a tent that was soaked from a rain storm and all your sleeping equipment and clothes are wet and it's cool outside or hot and everything is stuck to you? I never bout a tent and went straight camping in it. It gets a rain test just like Luke is doing before I am in the middle of nowhere with nothing dry to come out with
The mosquito buzzing and landing on the mic in the beginning was awesome. When they stop buzzing they are drilling.
Prayers for you and yours Luke.
I was at a thriftstore and saw a bag that looked like, maybe a hammick or so? The seller said: oh, it's some kind of sail.... I asked: How much? She answered: oh, 3 euro will do....Went home, unpacked, it is a brand new! Gossamer 1. Not a single spot on it, clearly never been set up, or maybe just in a livingroom. Googled it, the tent costs 200 euro in Holland right now! So I'm very exited and can't wait til I can try out!
As per your first day video of this tent I told a younger friend of mine and he is a scout master of a boy scout here in my town he got all the parents to come to gether and they bought 15 of these tents and have used them in the rain and in the desert heat and they all just love them. Being a cub, boy, and explorer scout when I was younger they seem to like what I tell them about. That's so much for what you do it helps so much. In Joy
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for your thoughts and adventures and sharing your family brother
Condolences to you and your family. Thank you for creating your outdoor reviews!
So sorry for your loss. I will pray for you and your family.
Looks like a great stealth camping tent. Glad to see it got the Wolf Pack stamp of approval.
Sorry for your loss. I am glad to see the tent didn't leak. I was really getting discouraged with the amount of leaking tents on the market.
Sorry for your loss, brother! Prayers
Hey Luke, sorry for your loss, my condolence to you and your family. and thank you for all the gear reviews, stay safe an healthy, God bless you and your Family always..
So sorry for your loss, Prayers for our family.
Excellent tent but I do believe it has been discontinued. It is sold out everywhere and it is not listed on the Jack Wolfskin website as well. That's a shame if it is discontinued.
as of right now it's available on their website
www.jack-wolfskin.com/gossamer-ii/3003641.html
Nope, not discontinued at all; confirmed by JW themselves yesterday.
- Luke
Really sorry for your loss, may they rest in peace. Hope it doesn't burden your mind too heavily
Love the way you test it. I worked with a guy who would buy land and would wait only till after a heavy downpour to go look at land. Friends would ask him why and he simply said you don't know the lands characteristics until you see it when it is wet. Mother in law got a house at a really good price once and I never saw it until after she purchased it without asking advice. I know why they sold it cheap after I did finally see it. It was at the bottom of a hill and after a heavier rain water would go right into the house. I was there when she discovered it and spent the whole time out in the rain trying to divert the water flow to keep it out of the house with a shovel. So yeah, it pays to check it out under bad conditions before getting it.
My most sincerest condolences for your loss and to the loss of your family, I will keep you all in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this tent.
Thank you for the review. I am sorry for your loss of a family member. Keeping you and all your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I'll be honest, Jack Wolfskin always seemed like the sort of brand for the 'All the gear, no idea' type. I've recently used a pair of JW boots for a 2 week Scotland hike....incredibly impressed!
Sorry for the loss in your family. May you always look high.
Glad to see you again. So very sorry for the death in your family. You mentioned in a previous video you had been notified of a person in your family with cancer and time was short. Since we haven't seen you doing much overnight camping, I wondered if there hadn't been family issues that kept you away from your love of camping and videoing. Family and God first. I am very sorry for you and your family. Take your time to heal and grieve - we are here waiting for you. - I want to comment that the photography is just perfect. I love your close ups; the rain on the leaves, water rolling on the tent - fantastic. The green of the area is just so beautiful. The tent looks like it will get highest ratings - who could want for more with all that rain!!
Sorry for your family's loss. Interesting video, thank you. Xx
My sincerest condolences Luke. Very sorry for your loss .
Sorry for your loss Luke.
Be safe and well. 💗
Sorry for your loss
Looks like an awesome tent! Great review, as always Luke. Also, my condolences on your family loss. I presume it was your uncle you'd mentioned in a previous video. Regardless of whom you lost, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts. Take Care.
Condolences to your family on the loss.
I want to see you get into and out of that tent DURING a rainstorm...without flooding the bathtub floor that sticks out so far.
Nice quick review, can't believe it stayed dry after all that! but the spiders are an issue! lol....Smiles, E
Sorry for your loss Luke!! Strength and Honor Bud.
We need rain in Las Vegas!! Thanks for the review! 👍😎🌧⛈🌂
Sorry for your loss Luke. Take care, stay well.
My main gripe is with the design of the entry/vestibule area. If you were to attempt to get in that tent during a rainstorm (especially that one), I see zero chance of it remaining dry during entry. Once the vestibule is unzipped, the internal mesh becomes fully exposed. Tents with vertical walls mitigate this by having just that, vertical walls.
I use the gossamer 1 here in Scotland 🏴 and it gets tested well and has never failed 😃 so I’m guessing it’s a bigger version of an already awesome 1 man tent 🏕 great review 👏🏻 atb 🏴🏕🏔
Thanks for saying something from across the "Pond".
@@azclaimjumper well here in Scotland 🏴 it’s common to get all 4 seasons in one day 🙈🤣🤣🤣
Had the same problem with my tents over the years. Just put a tissue or hanky in the corner and zip up to it. (I HATE spiders square dancing on my face at nite!!) Looks pretty good for the price! Blessings, Jerry
so much appreciated with your testing efforts Luke, you’re da best
Jesus loves you all very very much repent and believe and be saved from eternal punishment of sin amen, Jesus suffered for you
I hiked in Israel for a month with this tent and it withstood some seriously stormy weather with heavy rains and ridiculously strong winds. I was not expecting that weather so was very glad that this tent remained rooted to the spot, 100% dry and surprisingly quiet in the very strong winds. It's light enough to carry on hikes, so easy to put up and properly robust in heavy weather. I also kept finding bugs in the tent and was wondering how they kept getting in! Mystery solved - thanks Luke!
This thing is absolutely bulletproof without weighing an absurd amount. I mean it is not light weight by any means, but defenitely manageable. But for the bit of extra bulk you get absolute peace of mind that you will ahve a dry and comfortable night!
Dude, I'm sorry to hear about one of your family members passing. I hope you guys are all doing well & you are taking the time to process, remember & celebrate their life. Personally, I am more of a cabin tent guy. But, my daughter & I are going on our first camping trip together soon and I figured a smaller tent would help her feel more at size. So, I just ordered the Coleman 4 person Sundome Tent on prime day. Gotta say, pretty well worth the price dude.
We're in the worst drought I can remember in Wisconsin in my life. Pray for us Northerners & the farmers or your corn boils, if you have them in your state will be sparse & a month behind schedule. Man I haven't heard rain like that all summer, hope we get some soon.
Sorry to you both for your loss. .
Great video!! Praying for you and your family for your loss.
I have spent a lot of time in tents, and my experience has shown that you really don't get a feel for a tent properly unless your in the tent when its raining. With condensation and osmoses from touching the fabric when its saturated is a important point when wanting to be dry. This can be combated by having duel levels of protection. Just my 2 cents on the subject..
Hi from London UK, your tents reviews are the best I've ver seen, so in-depth, great channel. Subed!
Sorry for your loss. Great to hear about the tent. I have thought about this tent, but I purchased the Naturehike Mongar 2 instead. Being a big guy i really wanted the head room.
Great review. I have this tent for a couple years now. Originally got it for a hike through Slovenia in variable weather and it held out well. One trick I found is to leave the outer tent attached to the inner tent when folding, so the inside doesn't get wet when you have to set it up again during rain.
I did have problems with condensation though. Two people in humid weather that cools off during the night and the inside was just covered in droplets. Most of it flew down to the sides but some of it did drip into the inner tent. Usually not a problem when I'm on my own but still I think condensation is its main issue. Opening the outer tent flaps wasn't really an option as it was covering all our gear.
Apart from that it's lightweight and compact, easy to set up, and a great value for its money (even at the price I got it for which is apparently twice what Luke paid!). Never had problems with spiders.
Our most memorable times in a tent were during the worst weather!
Sorry for your loss, thank you for keeping on.
I will take my chilbo snow camo 2 different styled vestibules, waterproof and plenty of room. The only thing that failed was skinny stakes during hail / wind storm. Have used it for 6+ years. …and yes…I have treated it, reinforced seams and been just peachy!
Great vid yo! 💯🇺🇸
Love the videos!! Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for you loss Luke and family.
I have the one person version & I actually commented on the question you asked if we thought it would leak & I said 'not a chance' & I'm glad that was the case,I live in the Lake District in the UK and all it ever does here is rain & even as I'm typing this in late June & 'summer' the rain is bouncing 🌧️ & the JW Gossamer has never ever failed me ..I have numerous tents & the Gossamer is without doubt the most waterproof tent I own & also have actually ever seen,it's an absolute beast of a tent for harsh weather conditions..sad news on the loss of a family member,deepest condolences to you in regards to that..R.I.P 💔
My first backpack was a Jack Wolfskin Denali 65. At over 6lbs it's pretty heavy but the build quality and robustness is on another level. Great product. Not much info on Jack Wolfskin here in the USA but glad I got the pack, still have it too 👍
Nice to see you as well Luke! I hope Susie is well ♡
lol was playing some games and got stuck in que for about 10 min and find this channel and i must say: it's not every day that you find a channel that makes a tent reviwe with such a mic the mic was awsome
Nice tent. My thoughts and prayers to you family Luke.
My condolences to you and your family. Keep up the good reviews and soldier on my friend.
I own one. It's waterproof and windproof. I did get a little leakage after a few months of use, but nothing that seam sealer can't fix. 9/10
So sorry for your loss. Thank you for another great review!
As always Luke, thank you for the super great detailed test that you do for us! I am so very sorry to hear about the death in your family!
My condolences to you and everyone in your family. Situations like that are extremely hard to deal with, I hope your doing alright buddy.
Love your channel! Thank you for all the time/information you put into the reviews and the great adventures along with your genuine love of the outdoors. I fully intend to be a Patreon Supporter asap. I subscribed a while back but hadn't really started to consistently watch the reviews and adventures until recently. You and Susie both are a joy to watch and learn from, together and individually. Deeply sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family❤
My name is Amber... I love the outdoors and I have camped before at campgrounds years ago when I was younger. As I have gotten older I realize my appreciation and love for the outdoors has grown in a good way. I also realize there is a difference in just camping versus hiking and camping put together...if that makes sense. As I have started to subscribe to numerous outdoor adventure type channels, my desire to adventure into the woods is huge and I love being out in nature. My favorite channels so far is your channel and Adventure Archives. I have camped before but I am new to the hiking/backpacking side of it. We have a new trail near where I live that I have hiked a few times and I have enjoyed it so much! Due to inexperience and lack of knowledge on some things since I am a newbie....I have my fears of certain things naturally, but know that I love being in the woods and the solitude it brings. So far this trail has only one camp site and I thought... it being so close to home...it would be a good starter for me. I am gradually making sure I have all the basics I need. I like a lot of the gear you have recently reviewed. I especially like the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer II tent. I think I would like this tent in cooler weather but wasn't sure what it would be like in warmer weather considering it doesn't offer a lot of ventilation. I was happy to see it does not leak but wonder what other tent you might suggest that does not leak but also has a little more ventilation in warmer weather. Would the Gossamer be alright or would it be stuffy? Sorry for the length of my message. Just wanted to give a little introduction I suppose. I love the Soto Windmaster Stove and the OneTigris Chair among lots of other gear you review. Also what would be on your list of things to take for a first time backpacking adventure along with any tips or advice? Thanks for taking the time to read this! I have great respect and appreciation for you and Susie for all you both do and bring to all of us watching!❤ Strength and Honor!!!

Sorry for your loss Luke. Secondly, for the price and how waterproof it is.. I’d say you can’t beat it.
I also campt one week with 5 days non stop raining in a jack wolfskin yellowstone 3. It was also dry. Jack Wolfskin have really good stuff
48 hours of rain and not a single drop inside. Highly highly impressed
5 days of rain
Can't wait for you to "test night" the One Tigris Cosmitto tent in heavy rain. Thank you for pointing out the bug invasion of the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer 2 tent. Thank you for proving that it is waterproof after a full week of setup. There must be a solution to the bug invasion which is not acceptable. Thank you!!
Sorry to hear about the loss in your Family Luke.
I'm really impressed with the waterproofness and the low amount of condensation. I would just spray bug repellent around the zipper areas to keep the spiders and bugs out. Sorry for the loss of your family member, but thanks for the video, great job.
Looks nice! There's no way I could have resisted a nap in the tent during the rain and thunder at around 4:00.
Any chance you might look at the Kuiu tents in the future? Love me some fly-first tents, ala Hilleberg style...
I have been using a Gossamer 1 for 15 years. Winter storms on North sea islands had no effect on the tent.
Sorry for your loss Luke!!
Luke, camping videos while in rain/thunderstorms on RUclips are booming. Just a suggestion, please make an overnight video while camping in heavy rain/thunderstorm doing simple tasks as making dinner, building a fire, etc. I would love to see a video. Sorry to hear about your loss prayers sent 🙏
man i love the sound of rain on a tent
My prayers are with you and your family🙏
Oh, you're near me! Ya, it's rainy af. A Camelbak and an umbrella are pretty much staple items with how hot and wet it is in this region. Also, the mosquitos are the size of birds.
I'm sorry for your loss. 🥺
