    I got soaked (everything got soaked) once when I was forced to switch campgrounds during a severe weather system that lasted for hours. I went to Walmart and bought a 12X24’ tarp. From then on I tarped my tent all the way around. I used long sticks and bungie cords. I was always bone dry. I mostly camped in state parks solo with my dog. My tent is a Coleman Instant Tent. I alway have a double high queen bed, a chair with a side table and a porta potty in there. I was always very comfortable.

    Hi Luke, about a year ago we decided to invest in a newer up to date tent and bought out firsts DoD tent and retired the old one. After getting set up and later turning in radar indicated light rain and since we were in the new tent, we were not worried about waking up wet again. By 4:30am we woke up to all our blankets and clothes being soaked and couldn't for the life understand why. Later that same morning we took a closer look and found not 1. not 2. but 3 spots where it had leaked in. One by the door, the 2nd below the center of the dome. And the third closer to the lower lefthand side Basically, we were soaked and had to retreat to the comforts of the truck bed the following night since the tent didn't do its job. Since then, we went back to using the old tent from Colman with No problems after buying a can of rain guard. The place that we purchased the DoD tent refused to refund our money, so we decided to stay clear of their products ever since.

    Like I said in your last video, because of that storm flap around the door alone I would not purchase this tent. This is why we all watch you Luke, we appreciate your honesty. Other RUclipsrs who get products to give the company a positive review they wouldn't even test it they would simply unbox it a tell the viewers it is a great tent. Your agenda free is money in the bank for all of us who follow your channel.

  • @thegrayfox9425
    @thegrayfox9425 Год назад +77

    Hi Luke. I'm a hammock camper now, but I have slept in lots of leaky tents. My advice for anyone stuck in a wet tent is to protect your sleeping bag at any cost. Even if you have to pack it in its stuff sack and sit the weather out in your raincoat. Do not roll over and go back to sleep. When you get home, you can use the tent for backyard fun. It may sound crazy but if your bathtub tent floor is really a tub full of water, drive an extra tent stake into the ground right through that expensive floor. Wiggle it around a bit and the water will drain into the ground as long as you are not camped in a depression where water is pooling. Maybe it's just me, but I think tent floors are highly overrated except for discouraging bugs.

    • @keonisan
      @keonisan Год назад +21

      Just have a tarp over the tent and you're good to go. I understand why he does these videos but I would never trust a tent to be 100 percent waterproof. Hang a tarp over the tent and you'll never had to worry about it leaking.

    Thanks again for a thorough review Luke, this tent is a definite ‘Do Not Buy’ in it’s current form. As for that woman who blamed her kids’ bad behavior on your video, these ‘Non-Parents’ are very common, blaming their children’s lack of discipline on anybody but themselves. You see them in WalMart letting their kids run around knocking stuff off shelves till they fall and hit their head on something, then they sue WalMart for not putting wild animal bumpers on everything. Keep the vids commin’!!

      😂😂i discipline my son everyday they ain't gonna change overnight. he was a horror show today. Maybe it's time to grow up and stop thinking that people don't discipline their kids just because they act bad😂 just like you say about these non-parents... Don't speak on something you've never been through. 😂 Don't you think you should take your own advice? I discipline my son every single day. And he's just getting worse. Some kids are more stubborn be thankful that your kids weren't. By the way if you do discipline your kids or teach them a certain way it's up to the kids to keep that or change to what they want to do.

That said..I really wanted this tent to do better. Bad experiences with bendy pole tents has made me leery of them all.

    Hi Luke as a fellow North Carolinian I often recognize many of the places and trails that you haunt. My suggestion to you is create a sub channel of the sounds of the rain and wind that you record while camping. I use the different channels already on RUclips to help me sleep but yours are real not just simulated white noise. Just a suggestion. I can’t get out on the trails anymore like I once did due the hectic work schedules.

      Field recording is AWESOME! Also, it doesn’t have to be in a “field.” It can be at a the crest of a hill, deep in some holler. Yet, it could be at a bus stop listening to the cacophonous sounds of the city. Both can be helpful to remove yourself from whatever world you wake up in.

No Way. it is true that tough times do not last, but whle they are going on it seems endless. Native Americians would say these times are just speed bumps on the Red Road. the Red Road is the Spiritual path we follow through life. The natural world of the earth, the trees, animals plant life and the changing seasons is the Real World, the rain, the wind, the sunshine, the changing sky, sunsets and sunrise storms..all these things are here for us to enjoy. Even if we cant physically get out there in Nature, & the wilderness, we can go along with Luke. and others on You Tube. i love to hear & read the stories people tell about their camping, adventures. Happy Trails, everyone.🌲🌲🦬🦬💕💕😎

It's where I keep my camping stuff and hubby keeps the gardening stuff. It's big enough for the pop up tent I've got currently. Just bought a new bigger 'family size' tent. Waiting for it to arrive, and can't wait to get using it. I miss camping... (hubby's not a big fan 😕 but he didn't grow up with it like I did...)

    Not, not, not a walk of shame. It’s called a series of excellent decisions, to buy and place the “cabin”, on your own nice acreage, a place easy to get to in your truck, a place to enjoy whatever weather, waiting and watching in warm, dry comfort. Thanks for the twice done demonstration of the DoD tepee. Will look elsewhere for my tepee tent. I don’t need a leaky tent, period. Your commentary is trusted because there is no marketing, nothing to sell.

    I love that whirring sound of the wind. We don't get much of it here where I live in suburbia. But, on the occasions we do get any decent winter wind, I can set up some interesting harmonics as it blow through and around the meter pipe awning frame on the front of my house. And, if I don't have my windows clamped down tightly and locked, I can get some neat moans and whistles there too. But, my most favorite of wind sounds is the whirring sound at the beginning of the video. Simple pleasures.

    Luke you talking about being out in a storm. About 15 years ago I had put my boat in the water the sky’s looked menacing. Big black and grey clouds rolling in the sky’s. I got just out of the river when the sky’s opened up! Lightning, thunder piles of rain. I had put all the storm canopies on just before the sky’s opened up. It rained so hard there was a sheet of water running off my boat an inch or more. I was just Idling. Driving by my GPS. The rain lasted about two hours. Rest of the day was fantastic.

    I was intrigued by the stake pitching and the fact that they just go in the ground. There would be no way they would do that here where I live. Way too many rocks and gravel. But fascinating to watch you either throw or push into the ground with ease. Is that your superpower? Love these videos. Now finding my blanket cuz the weather is coming.

    Hey Luke, referring about doing home remodeling, my father also built our house in the '40's from lumber (oak 2×4's) from our property. When they tore the house down for redevelopement, the D8 Cat bounced off it like a Tonka toy! Don't think we would have had to worry about a little adverse weather. Hopefully you got more than lip service from DOD.

    If your cabin trailer is to be semi permanent, I would either remove your wheels and store them ( a security measure against theft) and put the trailer on blocks. Alternatively, at least protect the tires from sun rot and cracking. Since you are located at the top of a mountain with little protection from wind, I would consider anchoring the trailer with cable. Use anchor posts or concrete blocks buried in the ground. You could anchor just the frame or go over the roof of the trailer with a 2x4 to protect it from the cable. I doubt the trailer body would survive hurricane strength winds in any case.

    To better capture the moisture on camera, try laying down a dry piece of colored construction paper over the puddles or drips where the water is present on the floor, or press it against the walls of the tent. We'll be able to see the discolored water spots on the paper more clearly that you simply pointing your camera and flashlight at the water. Thanks again for doing what you do.

    I recall the term "rain shadow". A couple years ago I was backpacking in Southern VA and noticed we were in a valley which had very distinctly different flora than we'd been walking through before. Turns out the geography of the region caused that valley to get almost no rain.

Five minutes later we were on our way to the emergency room where my cousin got 5 stitches where he buried the knife in his leg.
