Gazelle T4 Hub Tent Initial setup

Wanted to do a quick video of my first time setting this tent up to really illustrate how fast it is in real time. This is my first time setting this tent up or anything like it. I've not used a tent in decades and am very rusty, but this tent is amazingly fast and easy to set up. Those of you have done this before will easily see my mistakes, lol. It took me less than 2 minutes my first time and I do not doubt it would take me less than the 90 seconds advertised moving forward. The breakdown for me was only 58 seconds (Wow). This thing is quite spacious and will easily accommodate me and the dogs on a camping trip.
UPDATE: used this tent for the first time at K.O.A.R. and loved it! Very spacious and easy to setup and takedown. It stormed the first night and no leaks or wind damage!

i recently purchased a T4 hub tent. i struggled with pulling out the sides because i’m 65 but it’s doeable. can’t get over the amount of room there is than my 9x10 darkrest tent. love the 6 windows & 2 doors. fits my sleeping cot with a camp chair, table and a cooler. lots of room for a solo camper like myself. it’s 8x8 so i can bring it to Coachella music festival ! 😊

[@ginacardarella]

Wow I have hope to be able to do this by myself thanks for sharing

[@BalzAldrin]

great video. definitely going to pick one up. what's the song in the beginning?

[@davemi3213]

I’ve got the same tent same color and everything I absolutely love it I camp in the mountains of Pennsylvania I highly recommend staking out the hubs

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

I agree

[@mustardman5366]

Just so people know if not. Your ground tarp should Not be larger than the tents footprint. The ground tarp should be slightly smaller than the tent to avoid water/ moisture from getting in between it and the tent floor.

[@joshb6510]

When I put mine up the first time I put the rainfly on after popping the top up and took it off first when breaking it down. Then I read the instructions and saw that you’re supposed to put the rainfly on before you pop the top. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Much easier that way lol

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

I did the same, lol

[@ag1382]

Will we maybe hear gunshots?

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

Contrary to popular belief, Chicago is not the highest violent crime per capita city in the US, I don't think it's even in the top 10 as of a year or two ago. Memphis and St. Louis are higher for starters.

[@davidcreagh1692]

Can you put that thing up any slower? I have one and I get it ups faster (that’s what she said)

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

Well, it was my first time doing it, which I mentioned in the video, so of course I can do faster now that I know what to do.

[@mikelabree]

How long is the tent when folded up in the bag?

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

According to the Amazon listing linked in the description, it is 67.5” long (-5.5 feet)

[@Anon-ft1yb]

Awesome video!!

[@texas2far]

I bet the "neighbors" thought you were crazy poppin up the tent in the yard. I'm putting up my T4 monday on our camping trip and I'm stoked. I also have a 2019 SR5 premium and I love it too. Cheers bro! Oh hey are those stock headlights on your 4runner?

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

I gave them a heads up, lol. The headlights are AlphaRex Luxx series. I have a video on the on here as well.

[@hatersgotohell627]

I'm 6 ft 2 can I stand in this without having to duck?

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

inside you'll be fine. You'll have to duck to go through the door though.
