My tent is a Ozark Trail 4 season 2 person backpack tent and I also got Ozark trail 8.5" twin air mattress with pillow pump and Active Era sleeping bag E100 all of it fit in a backpack I got 3 yrs ago! Mr. Aaron 🍻
I know you have away this Tent , You should look at the Naturehike Mongar 2 p. Or the Paria Zion 2p Both are around $170 & less than 5 lbs .pack size Naturehike 19x6. Paria Zion 17 x6.. These are all mesh , would be fantastic for summertime.
Look up rob hamilton,a motorcyclist who invented a tent to house you and the motorcycle.i believe its lighter.could use the side room for showering or a potty room or even cooking in.its nice to have the bike dry in the morning
Good recommendation! I've watched some of Rob's videos... good stuff! He uses the Lone Rider motorcycle tents, which are also similar to the Redverz Atacama tents. Those are amazing camping solutions, and I've considered getting one for several years. The downside of these tents is their pack size and weight... they're not small or light. Full-size ADV and standard bikes can accommodate those tents, but it's more difficult to stow them on mini-moto's and scooters. Another caveat is these are not free-standing tents... they are hoop tents that must be staked down and have tension to stand upright. That can be a problem in certain conditions (e.g., quick setup for short periods, rocky terrain, parking lots or gravel, etc). I'll probably get one this year to use and compare with my "Intro to Motocamping" series. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
I looked on aliexpress. from China direct you get them at half the retail price, shipping is about $60 or free depending on the store selling them. If you are on the fence over price that’s an option. Edit: theirs is listed as two man and 5.9kg packed weight including all accessories.
I love your videos, Quasi. I never fail to learn something from you and I especially love info about Moto camping and the gear that you have. Thank you for all that you've shared this past year. I look forward to seeing your 2023 videos. Happy New Year to you and your family! Safe travels, always!
Thanks, Terry! I'm planning to do an "Intro to Motocamping" series this spring that might help to jump-start the hobby for new and returning riders. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
i looked at that tent before i bought mine. mine says 2 man tent. but it must mean to midget tent but i love it. but the few times i camped in mine so far its never rained. so i think to be safe i need to spray it to make sure it dont leak but it does cut the wind
Great video! It is amazing how light the material is, but it seems to stay in place. Probably a little scarry at night! I bet it is pretty loud in t'storms. As long as you can stay dry and safe, that is great. I have watched several of your videos. You do a great job!
Thanks for watching and giving feedback! I try not to recommend anything that I haven't purchased with my own money and have used myself. This tent review was recorded over 2 years ago but only recently published. It was intended to be the first in a series of videos for an "introduction to motocamping" and how to get started for under $500. I hope to have time to dig back into that video series this spring before I head out for the 2023 Scooter Cannonball Run in June. We'll see! 😉👍 --QM
Yep! If all goes to plan, then I should be recording and editing those videos within the next month or so. I'm hoping to kick off that video series before the spring riding season so more riders might be able to try out motocamping this year! Maybe I can coordinate a group ride & camp meet-up somewhere if there is enough interest. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
I have the same tent in 1 person version and it's been pretty good considering the price. I've been caught in the rain a few times and it keeps me dry so no real complaints except I wish the poles folded down to about 15 inches.
Pole lengths are the Achilles heel for tents and motocamping... many won't fit into panniers or top boxes. Occasionally, I will separate the poles from the tent and store them on the seat or strapped to the outside of other luggage. That lets the tent compress smaller to give more packing options. These tents seem to be decent for beginners or campers on tighter budgets. I'll probably get a few more entry-level tents under $150 to compare for my "Intro to Motocamping" series this year. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard yes they are. I have to put them diagonally in a pannier and have to be careful with the ends poking into them. (Soft pannier bags). Don’t want to wear a hole in the bags.
Thanks, Brent! I'm planning a new video series, "Intro to Motocamping", this spring. Let me know if you have any topics or questions in mind so I can include those in the content. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
Hey there Quasi, thank you for the information on the tent. I've never had to set up a tent in the rain before so thanks for doing that. Is there anything that you can do as far as the condensation collecting at the top? Would putting a towel in the overhead storage work or if you had a small battery powered fan blowing on it? Or is the condensation just run down the inside of the rain cover and not drip into the tent? Thanks for the video - do appreciate it!
Most tents will have condensation issues if they have a rain fly over the top. Moisture evaporating from the ground and from your breath will collect on the inner surface. Peak vents promote airflow to minimize the humidity build-up, but it will always be an issue during colder temperatures and rain. I always take an extra camp towel (or a chamois) in my kit so I can soak up small puddles that accumulate on the floor. Otherwise, it's just a game of watch and wait to see if there are any real leaks in the rain fly. Using a towel over the top of the tent might work if you can find where the condensate collects or runs down into the tent body. I haven't done that before, so maybe I'll give it a try next time I'm set up for a few days of camping. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
@@QuasiMotard I see, so it's just the natural process, no way to prevent it from happening. I just wasn't sure if circulation would help or not. Thanks for answering yet another question! Be well and ride fun Quasi!
This would fit in the dryspec setup I have (thank you). This year I have a good amount of vaca built up. So I want to take some motocamp trips. I need to find a good inflatable sleep pad.
The Klymit Static-V inflatable pads are really good for their price. I don't like the foam pads because they're too bulky and heavy. Inflatable pads are definitely better for motocamping. Let me know when you're thinking of taking some vacation time. Maybe we can arrange another meet-up somewhere in the AR or MO areas for twisty roads and motocamping! 😉👍 --QM

Looks great for Warmer weather,but sometimes your trips are in below 40* .
Excellent review of the tent, looks like you were having some fun when it got windy! Im going to try pitching my tent in the backyard too.Pismo Paul

Great video as always. Thank you for the info on Moto camping. I've definitely learned a lot from your channel. Keep up the good work.

Boy.I hope it is really cheap, because it is a PITA.
