Hey TA. I've used the F2 version of this for a while and it's a fantastic little tent. I havent had issues with rain, nor has my friend, but the UK is a bit more intense than Canada in that regard haha. i guess they upgraded some things as mine is all one piece and the bottom is completely waterproof, and mine came with seriously heavy duty stakes that weigh a ton. for a taut setup this is the method i use:
- stake out all four corners tightly and then stake the rest of the bottom points
- insert one pole, stake the guy line tightly, then do the other pole. you will need an axe/hammer to do the second one and you'll hear the line going taut while hammering it in
- stake out all of the rain fly points with cordage
Hope this helps! I think either the f1 version had serious flaws or you got a bad one from the seller unfortunately. i would highly recommend grabbing the f2 from varusteleka while they have them in stock
We have a lot of those nylon tents here in the US. You really need a ground cloth and to regularly spray it with waterproofing (scotchgard or similar) and use a seam sealer. It looks like the water might have come thorough the seams.
Such a shame about the leakage, looked like a really cool tent as well.. As always, loved the video though mate, can't wait for the next one! 🙂
Yeah man, I was pretty gutted as I would have definitely used it more.
Having now seen this,, and after reading appx. 7/10 reviews of the same tent (tents obtained from 6 different sources) and that they do or will leak, I'm not going to get one. Also after seeing how little head room there is, I think one could do much better with a 10x10 ft/9x9m tarp and a mosquito netting. Thanks for putting this out !
@@TAOutdoors I have the old canvas one that has a nylon flysheet.
The tent itself is fine, even the canvas ends - just rain can get through the zips and the bottom of the T they form - I'll get around to sewing a flap to cover them at some point, you might want to do the same.
Still can use the banshee instead if it's due to rain.
p.s. thin shockcord/bungee elastic tie-outs.
I used the original canvas one with fly in Shropshire a couple of years back in torrential rain and no rain got in at all. 16 hours of rain and I was nice and dry, if somewhat miserable.
Hello good video
check out the review of this tent by The Outdoor Gear Review from a few years back he absolutely hammered it even our own beloved Mack Tightwad called it a piece of poo, now he has got MAD sewing machine skills with military equipment and even he decided it wasn't worth trying to repair it
Interesting to know. I should have watched that before heading out with it 😂
While you started the fire and roasted the chestnuts, my husband and I listened to Nat King Cole sing 'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire'. Highly enjoyable moment.
I used one of these tents a few weeks ago for some field work. I had to pull so hard on the peak tie lines to stop from sagging that I thought I was going to break the tent. Mine also came new with those awful pegs. They're kind of charming tents but I'm not sure they're worth the hassle.
Yeah, they look great, but the tensioning on them really is poor
The polycotton one is......
The Forest reminds me on Robin Hood:-) the tent looks good but thanks for showing the issues with it , chestnut at this time of the year is also here in Switzerland very common, hot and fresh roasted…..so delicious, good food, good Atmosphäre out in nature…way to be, thanks for sharing, take care, Taro
Cheers Taro! Yes a great looking woodland!
Man, the forests in England are just gorgeous. I'm from Alberta, Canada and not that we don't have wonderful forests, but something about the forests across the pond just sing to me. Swedwoods is another guy, the Swedish forests he makes videos in are just magical too.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
And no bears or cougars to worry about
@@columbiariverpussycat3769 No moose either! I'd argue more dangerous than either of those.
Foreskin magic
I’ve got one of these and the tent has been solid, haven’t had leaks in it I guess I’ve been lucky one thing with the guy lines to have a taught ridge line I found is to have the end guy lines quite long and pegged further away from the tent this creates a tighter ridge.
I wish I could say this hand't happened to me, but I had to abandon a 2-year-old tent for the same reason during a Texas thunderstorm, 20 years ago. I get it.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Perils of buying online Mike! Thanks for the update, those chestnuts looked very tasty!
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
I'm so glad you did a video with this tent. I was waiting for it for a while lol. I was thinking about buying one but now I'm going to go with something else. Thanks Mike, love the videos. Keep up the totally awesome work!
Years ago I grew up with "pup tents", had many, and always bought used. I grew up around the south half of Florida, USA in an out of swampy woodlands. Long story short, "foot print" for underneath, seamsealer for zippers sow-in and seams, waxstick or Chapstick for the zippers themselves. Start by scrubbing tent, inside and out (removes mustyness) and allow it to totally dry, then spray bottom of tent, first, with waterproof spray, then topside, then bottom again. Do this inside or at least out of direct weather. It gives you alot better setup. Love the videos!
I LOVE the 'go out in the woods and enjoy' type of camp video. WE still need to see you use the basics--like enough charged batteries and lighting devices. That forged pan looks wonderfully practical with its good balance and long handle to save fingers from the fire.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️
So glad I moved away from this style of tent to a bivvy and bed while away fishing, waking up dry and warm sets you up for the day
Forty years ago I bought a tent from Payless for thirty five dollars. Had it for twenty years. It barely wore out, in the sun every day all summer and fall. No tarp on top. That tent NEVER leaked, not even in thunderstorms! So I know it can be done. I mourned when it finally 'died'... So then I started hunting for the perfect tent, unfortunately that tent was the perfect tent and never could replace it. Heh... I had a yard full of tents, everybody in the neighborhood hahaha, thought I had a homeless encampment, but I was just having fun with all my tents...lol And they ALL leaked except for this thick skinned popper upper from Hong Kong. I left it outside for f about four years day and night, I could not get it to UN-pop! I was stunned how long it lasted... I'd get another one but they are too thin skinned these days, and I probably could not UN-pop it anyway... Anyway I cut out the bottom of that tent and use it for the groundcloth on my next tent, best ground cloth I ever saw! I heard even the expensive Eureka tents' bottoms seep water from the ground, and your bedding gets wet, still.
Very wooded area! Fall is such a nice season to be out in the woods. Thanks for showing all the gear. Roasted chestnuts, pot hanging a juicy steak and a nice little fire. Close call, almost got soaked 😮💨 Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it! Take care and cheers from Canada. 👍
OK, rule number one, always get a waterproof tent. THEN always bring a bottom tarp and a top tarp! Even waterproof tents leak. heh... I also always bring a waterproof tarp for the inside of the tent/floor; plus I use a ground pad for under the sleeping bag and put it on top of the 'rug' tarp, then I use my down coat for a blanket and sleep in a down vest over a sweatshirt and sweatpants. AND I use a synthetic bag, Colemans usually because if gear gets stolen, can be easily replaced; and as down bags tend to not dry out when they get wet. Maybe I will use an army bivy bag too. Bottom line, is, GEAR MATTERS! And a good down coat can save your life if you keep it DRY. And a nice army style thick PONCHO. A friend of mine always had an umbrella... And try to use 2 person tents for all your gear and shoes and all that, plus if you can get a zipper on it with metal zipper holders, you can get a luggage lock, and will keep pilferers out while you go walking around which is especially good if you go to a campground.
I'm so jealous that you all have a plethora of Chestnut Trees. In the USA Midwest, you'd be hard pressed to find one. A blight nearly wiped them out in the early 1900's. They are coming back nicely in the Eastern States. But, west of the Mississippi, not so much. I almost cringe when I see some of the British bushcrafters I follow splitting them for firewood, LOL.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️
I’m so envious of you being able to getting out in the elements as you do. I know i work way to much in the hospital but we are so short on staff and i give up my time off to help as much as possible. I truly love your setup and what you do because you are indeed right on tap with your channel, thanks for sharing.
A channel you should watch is TheOutdoorgearreview. Awesome channel.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
yeah same problems for me, i was in formation and we had to sleep in it, water literally came trought the tissue in top of me and dropping in my face , i had a very bad night
I have the F2 version and I have yet to come into issues of water leakage. Only had 1 time but the winds were over 40mph and torrential rain for 4+ hrs. But it was a small spot nothing like what happened to you... It was mostly from the zipper intersection on the side with the rain blasting on it. So I would like to know if anyone has the F2 and their suggestions/ideas for this one.
Basically have no problems with the polycotton version............
Used those same style tent stakes for years with no issues with my backpacking tent
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
I have a French F1 army tent and its the single worst tent I have ever had. Not in the least bit waterproof and crap on uneven ground as the two poles fall over very easily. I have tried to waterproof it and nothing has helped, If you know it wont rain and where you are going will be flat its ok, especially in the summer when you open both sides it gives shelter from the sun and its cool. Thats it though avoid the French army tents.
I had just fin having dinner and suddenly I hungry again,"thanks Mike".lol.your cooking apparatus is pretty cool.all in all a great video.cheers Mike.
I've got the F2 version of that tent (used it quite bit)- looks identical but I think the material is different. When I first set up mine I sprayed the whole thing with Nikkiwax tent sealant - that night we had torrential rain and inside it wasn't much drier than yours. I used a 2x3 garden tarp for a ground sheet and assumed that water had collected between that and the base of the tent. 2nd camp it also rained - no ground sheet and a little drier. It takes 16 pegs as you will know, the originals are really heavy and not like the ones you had. I use light alloy pegs made by Highlander and have no complaints. Despite it's shortcomings I like it (under £30). Great video, love the cook set.
I bought one and it didn't rain overnight but when I sat up my head brushed the ceiling and my hair was soaked instantly from the condensation, that's with all the vents open. After watching similar videos I gave mine a serious going over with Fabsil and I seam sealed it. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so I'll try it again and wear a hat this time.
Did you put a ground sheet underneath coz old tents leak like that from absorbing moisture from the ground and when it rains can roll down and then collect around the edges and seep through
Well mike we're not always perfect. But that what makes enjoying the outdoors fun, you just never know what will happen.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️

The tent body looks crunched up. I'd replace them with longer guy lines in order to get a more horizontal line. Alternatively, tie them to an elevated point, like from the top of a small stick, that's planted in the ground.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
If this was filmed last night, ie Weds, we had over 2" rain in 4 hours in the Blackdowns, it was frikin torrential! Anything could be forgiven not withstanding that deluge!
Lesson 101. Don't buy cheap. Spend money and buy quality. Still like yours and Simon's lavuu. Simon introduced the cooking apparatus awhile back. They good eh? Thank you for sharing. Atb from down here in Nz.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
I'm sure others have said the same thing but with a pup tent like that, it's necessary to A) use a ground sheet. And B) trench around the perimeter.
Those two actions will help. A little bit, but essentially that tent is a POS and unless you bring a tarp to act as a rain fly, you're getting wet even doing steps A & B.
hi i'm a fan of yours you should do more mre videos
It was a beautiful video, it fascinates people.
I loved the military French canvas tent with the rain fly but my roommate took it. I was able to use it mutiple times in the rocky mountains
I find leaving the middle lines on either side of the tent untensioned helps keep the ridge taught. The tighter you make them, the lower the ridge it seems. I also had to seam seal mine. Those are also definitely not the stock tent pegs.
These tents are quite old and the seams perish, I used a spread of clear silicone to seal mine and it solved the ingress issue completely. To get tent taught I peg out the bottom footprint all round first, put poles up both ends then peg out the rest and adjust taught. That's how I use my F1, hope this helps :)
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️
Ekipman önemli Böyle bir kumaşa sahip tarp tente almıştım nem yapınca huylandim çadır aldım size de geçmiş olsun daha kötü de olabilirdi 👍👏👏👏👏
Lucky man on those chestnuts, don't run into those in Missouri. I've used the canvas version of that tent for almost 30 years, my kids grew up in it. All that military surplus you have to treat it, some sits in storage for decades. Great video young man, thanks for not sawing on something and make us listen to it
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Horrendous mate, hard to believe it's made for men and women risking their lives to protect others... clearly there was some corruption there... someone making a deal with someone else and boosting profit margins by using cheap materials... crazy.
That "mini fire grill" idea was stolen Directly from Dave Canterbury of The Pathfinder School in America 🤔
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
cheers mike was looking at these tents on ebay think i will give them a miss dont want a paddling pool
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU❤️
Nice video man. I have a canvas F1 myself and had to run my own lines when I got it. I use two lines coming off of each peak to tension the ridge, and run them out to either side. You can put quite a bit more tension on it. A little bit longer lines on the sides will help you out there. I did an overnight with it a few weeks ago if you want to see how I set it up. Cheers
I have the canvas version with separate rain fly. Mine too leaked from the groundsheet almost identical to yours but a good coating of Fabsil cured that problem, I also sprayed around the doors, zips and all seams and it has not leaked since.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️
No wonder the french lost the war.
Did you make any kind of drainage channel around your tent? What was the slope of the land where you pitched it? Standard military training, dig a drainage channel even when you don't expect rain.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
never could stand pup tents. mostly I hated how you can never get them taut to shed rain/dew. and every one i've ever tried to use under rainy conditions, leaked. I would have been better off with just a couple of good tarps. give me one of the bent pole designs anyday....
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Earlier, laugh in my time, as a trooper, over 30. years ago and that 7 years, the SAS, the British Paratroopers had and the Royal Marines had a very good and safety equipment. Never in life, one would have used such crap, like your French tent.
Greetings from Frankfurt, take good care of yourselves and stay healthy.
My wife started looking for one of these tents as you were pitching it. She found one on eBay and started to bid on it… and then you woke up and showed all that water.
Thank you for saving us $60 😁
Hahaha glad to help! I think there is a canvas version which is much better. I’ll try and get one.
@@TAOutdoors Thanks for everything you do. We love your channel and it has inspired us to do much more outdoors.
Try militarymart. £25. Had one a couple of years and not had an issue. I did fabsil the outside before I used it. Mil surp can be a bit pot luck!
Extending your guide ropes might help with the rain flaps

Not that I mind seeing u put a tent.. but I switched to 3x speed, sorry : )
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Lovely woodland there , and some tasty looking food . Shame about the tent leaking at least you avoided the worst of it. Just wondering how you got on with the wool blanket? Did it do the trick and what temp would you go down to with just a wool blanket.? Anyway good vid take care man 👍
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU❤️
Well if you're in the market for a tent, that doubles as a sponge, go for this one.

chestnuts again, and still here!!! Good!!! Eating fruits at time!! Very good!! Exercice to connect with earth, eating fruits of estation of the year. To connect to the Heavens: loving, loving, loving.
Hey Mike I have watch your show for a long time does the U.K. have any snakes I never seen any on your show I thinking your state didn't have any. Stay safe keep up the good work God bless.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Hello Donnie. We only have three native snakes in the U.K. Grass snake, smooth snake and adder. The only one likely to give you any trouble if bitten is the adder. It's the only venomous snake we have but the bites aren't fatal (unless you're a small mammal). I've personally only ever seen adders when out and about hiking, never a grass snake or smooth snake. I live further north than Mike though, in Northumberland.
Getting a waterbed for cheap and still moaning 😀
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️
Your so right young man. It is what it is.....its a leaker and that it. Good that is was cheap so your not out as much. I've seen this before and it's always been that the seams haven't been treated , water proofed and it come in from all the seams around the bottom. While it's hanging out to dry you can get a better look at the zippers. But I do believe it's at the seams. If you want to fool with it, get you some water proofer and go over all the bottom seams .....at least 4 times , let dry and then while it's hanging up , spray it down and see if it will hold. It should do better and give you some more use.
Anywho, good video hun. Thank you for sharing with us all. Blessings to you and the family. Take Care 👍 🌹
you know you ain't polishing a turd, bin it.
ATB Pete
P.S. thanks for this I was thinking about one of these, saved me time & money.
My son and I have been using these tents as our backpacking tents for the last 4 years and with proper maintenance and waterproofing they work great 👍
Also I switched out the poles for my hiking poles and added loops of paracord on the stake holes to allow the tent to be staked out more tightly
I watch your video, I really like the beautiful scenery where you live. In the near future I will make a video similar to yours to introduce to everyone the beauty of my hometown. Hope you and everyone else support and give me suggestions. Thank you!
You got ripped off, that is not military surplus.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Wow buddy tent is shocking …even cheap tents out perform that … great vid .. cheers Chris & Sam
For a englishman you sure drink a lot of coffee lolol you sure there is no yank somewhere in your DNAlolol as for the tent if its new it should be soked down with garden hose totighten the material let it dry in the sun and apply water proofer i did it to mine no leaks being canvas i believe thats going to happen as far as the sag in the middle i made a colapsible inner ridgepole works grate couple loops insideand fasten to the end poles good luck
I remember years ago in the US military we were issued half a canvas shelter and poles. We would set up only half and the other half we would hook up our poncho liners. Worked great. Preferred the space all to myself.
I remember too... there were always those who didn't appreciate silence/never shut up, and or those who needed a "G.I. bath"... We bought our own ponchos or 10x10s, and used shotgun cleaning rods screwed together for a pole if there weren't any trees/fence posts to run a ridge line. Those were sucks we couldn't embrace ! Thanks for serving.
If you seam sealed it do you think it would leak?
Thanks for saving me from buying that garbage tent!😂😂😂😂
"without a doubt this is the worst tent i've ever slept in, in my life" love those honest reviews - gotta say i follow em all joe/matt/etc on youtube and he seems like one of the few people i would camp with (older tents are usually meant to be seam sealed with wax or such) a total doughnut but honest about it lol
It's great seeing good old bushcraft for a change. Thank you.
Great video again! ...and the sounds of the autumn winds are mystical feeling. I need to get out in the woods soon. Went campground camping with the kids last weekend but it's not the same haha. Cheers 🙏🏼
@TA Outdoors, what are the rules and regulations on bushcraft in the UK? such as where you can practice bushcraft and what you can and can't do?

Nice looking tent Mike but the performance was dreadful, think I'll stay away from that one.
I was out camping a couple of nights ago in the rain and stayed dry but sadly my camera has died (Lumix G7) the rain finally won.
Are you still filming with the Canon 80d I wonder. I need to buy another camera, any suggestions gratefully received:)
Sandy
Hi Sandy, sorry to hear about your camera. I used to use the canon 80D, but for the past year all my films have been filmed on the Canon 200D. Smaller, more lightweight and compact. But about to upgrade the camera equipment to more professional level gear. Still really rate the 200D though. Great autofocus still, and similar settings to the 80D just not as many ISO options etc. I put the 80D higher than it, but in terms of lightweight and efficiency when out camping I found the 200D really useful. Cheers - Mike
@@TAOutdoors Thanks for that Mike, really helpful. I'll take a look at the 200D :)
Toothpick 😂... Love the pot stand! Leaking was bad though!!!
chestnuts, literally, roasting on an open fire. excellent.
Hello there👋👋,how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a good day?GOD BLESS YOU!❤️❤️
Stick with a tarp Mike there more reliable atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
I have one and though it isn't "perfect" as it comes, for the price I paid, for it new, unissued for $25 U.S. & $12 shipping (normally $50-60 but I had store credits) is a good little tent. Seam seal it and use Paracord for the end guy lines (you aren't really going to get a linear perfectly tight top ridge unless you guy to a tree at each end - and forget those tensioners). All or these "A" frame pup tents sag... My 16 pegs were heavy steel - didn't bend on me - and I only use those for the base (8 peg points - I use 4 steel for the 4 corners & the remaining aluminum). I was disappointed that mine didn't come with the mosquito netting, so I'll have to retrofit some. This tent (OD green) came/comes in 4 varieties... 2 Doors with mosquito netting, 1 Door with mosquito netting, 2 Doors without (mine), and 1 Door without. Apparently there are other versions that are the type of construction as this gentleman's tent that came with a separate rain fly. Mine and it's varieties of the Door & mosquito netting don't include/require a rain fly. On the inside mine has a tag "1993". I "hear" a lot of people decry how these tents are "wanting", but you have to remember that they aren't $400-500 and up status symbols to climb the Himalayas. I'd love to have a Snugpak Cave or a Diamond Gear USMC... thanks to Putin and Zelensky those aren't available/cost too much. And even those need a little TLC. Our mate here may have just gotten someone's used & already defective kit. It sounds like he ended up with some version that isn't either an F-1 OR F-2. I'd love to find out if the French Army Quartermaster ever actually took delivery of any of these, or what they ended up with ? Are these production "over-run" ? Rejected because ? Because there's SO many of these & the various versions for sale at surplus stores world wide, the big "A", etc...
Wonderful video. I am an alpine hiker and I am trying to switch to more natural materials. Where can I buy the F1 in Europe? I have only found the F2, but it is polyester.
Like your Videos but don’t understand why you want your over nights to look so uncomfortable with no pillows or sleep pads/air beds 😳😳🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️

Me and my wife used a pup tent through a bad storm and heavy rain 🌧 and the tent ⛺ held up and we stayed dry ? When we buy a new tent ⛺ We treat it heavy with camp 🏕 dry and wax the seems and heat them with a hair dryer . Alot of people don't treat their new tents .but ,you should before you go back packing and wanna stay dry , it was just a 20 dollar 💵 🤪 tent ⛺ from Walmart ? It's not always the price of a tent that makes it the best , it's how it's weather treated ? For backpacks 🎒 I do the same and buy that 1 dollar 💵 poncho to cover me and my backpack 🎒 who likes a wet sleeping bag and water soaked 😜 food ? I like this guy's method of cooking 🍳 and I never thought about cooking chestnuts 🌰 but ,there really good 👍 😋 This guy is an awesome bushcrafter..Thanks for sharing, I learned something new 😋
Dig a moat around the edges of the tent to keep the water from being able to seep underneath the tent.
Have you considered a classic force 10? Similar shape and second hand only a bit more than f1 (£60 for mk2-3), but almost everything would be better - thicker bathtub groundmat is basically indestructible, more breathable so much less condensation, pegs out taught even if you don’t use the ridgepole, 2 layer inner and fly is more waterproof than that single skin, maybe a little heavier but the synthetic version is still v good. Only downside I can see people saying is that it isn’t traditionally a bushcraft type tent as it’s more a traditional mountain tent, but you’d be surprised how the orange colour blends very well into autumn woodlands. Try a drop back mk2 if you can find one. Mine is 1970s and still good for another 50 yrs heavy use.
Perhaps a bit of customising is in order, it would save it from the bin. 😃👍
46 haters now I'm thinking what exactly they hate ,the nature, chillness, feeling better,nice person ? Idk it doesn't make sense but ye this 46 humans if we can call them humans I just wanna say them u hav a really big problem and maybe u should started watching some meditation videos cuz I think something is really wrong with u I really hope they will see this msg. TA outdoors making my day every day and I don't care watching always same videos again cuz I'm enjoying the peacefulness and everything around it so thank you brother .1luw from Slovakia and I hope so we reach 2mil subs very soon
Sorry about the massive fail of the tent beautiful spot to camp tho the lamb looks mint made my mouth water lol cheers Mike
Its a French Army Tent. . .they always capitulate!
Absolute garbage! A tent really has one simple job. . .keep the rain off and out!
I, like you was attracted to the style and relative lightweight. . .almost drowned the first time using it though!
This tents bottom is NOT waterproof and does not have a "bathtub" floor as most modern tents do as you discovered!
It was an abject failure so tens of thousands were dumped on the military surplus market!
If I use this tent(rarely) I take a ground sheet and fly a tarp over it and let the grandkids use it! HA!
Your channel is the absolute best and you have quite a following among my circle of friends
which says a lot because they are pretty hard core outdoorsmen!
Interesting! Thanks for the video! //Johan
I’m a new sub I’ve been watching for a wile now and find your videos very interesting keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You have waterproof the seams and the tent itself. The pegs you have are cheap, not original knockoffs. The originals are heavy and sturdy metal. Most likely changed out for those knockoffs. More importantly use a drop cloth and make a light fly. But actually it's not worth the effort... good luck
Beech, Birch, and Oak? You’re in the Meadows biome in Valheim! Look out for Trolls!!!
As always outstanding video keep up the great work
maybe it wasn't taken care off and water proof war off the bottom section.
have a great day
I love the layout obvious because I have one. I honestly don't know if you care beat it. I have the size two. Canvas. Heavy yes, kind of small yes. Still my favorite.
For some reason most of those big branches fall in the month of August about 70 percent fall during that month I never looked into why second place goes to September. That's what a tree guy told me he's like a Arbor Medic that's the name of his company went to collage for that trade.
Hope it doesn't rain, you'll be swimming in that thing, trust me!!!!! I own one, complete garbage.
