- This is my completely non-sponsored review of the best budget tents in the under $200 price range. Feel free to check out my tent reviews playlist if you want to see more of these: • Top 6 Family Camping T...
Thank you very much for putting this together. You have helped me with making my choice!
I by all means am not a tent enthusiast and you managed to capture my attention for the whole 25 minutes. I think you are talented and should keep on doing these reviews ;)
Wow, so much work was put into the review, much appreciated. One brand I really like that doesn’t get much credit in my opinion is NTK, I have 3 of theirs for different areas etc and they’ve never let me down, they’re a more of a hotter tent unless you take out the rainfly/vestibule but I mostly camp in the Sierras and I can appreciate the warmth at night. The last one I got was the NTK Indy 6 person, very similar to the Kelty Rumpus, price point a bit cheaper, has done very well in wind and some rain, I love the huge vestibule specially when raining as it has a couple of transparent closed windows that allows not only natural light but some view when you’re stuck inside due to bad weather. Excellent review and thanks.
OMG.....Doug Demuro of camping.....I love it lol
Learned a lot about what to consider when buying a tent at any price point. Thanks for this thorough breakdown 🙂
Awesome - thanks for the comment. Glad it was useful.
This was such a great video. Thank you so much. I'm also watching how you quickly pitch tents by yourself. I had no idea about those quick pitch tents. I struggle trying to pitch mine alone. It has sleeves or whatever u said.
The Coleman sundown tent you had the outside zipper pull dongle pulled through into the tent. 3 dongles? Only 2 zippers, therefore you didn’t have a true seal on the door.
I actually commented about the Madrone before on your channel. I can't believe how waterproof it is. however you hit the nail on the head about the zipper. in very heavy rain it can drip. not a huge deal and I think seam sealing it yourself would help and is totally worth it for the quality/price of the tent. Also wind? survived 2 terrifying surprise thunderstorms in the madrone. it bends but stands up.
Based on this review, I purchased both a Stoic Madrone 4 and Mountainsmith Bear Creek 4. We'll be using them next weekend.
I'm not looking for a new tent right now, but this was just so entertaining and educational to watch!
Wow - great to hear, thanks for watching!
I like the videos about camping on a budget
Good comments on these! I bought the Rustic Ridge 8 person Dome. Myself, my far better half, and the dog. I like the headroom and the spacious interior. The first thing I did was silicone all the exposed seams. That turned out to be a blessing as first night out was total downpour! Forethought for some drainage trenches helped out as well!
Curious, what do you do with the extra tents now? My thoughts: homeless organizations! Take the tax deduction and it becomes a WIN:WIN
Nice video! I checked out a few others and I subscribed. I found a tent for $100 and it is actually on sale right now for $60. I bought it for $80. It's sold at Dunham's Sports and is an Eagle's Camp Creekside 4- Person Dome Tent. I've used it I think about 14 times all to gather in all 4 seasons. The oddest thing about it is that it has no roof vent. But it seems so far that unless it's hot out and there is no breeze, there is no real issue with the design. I have had no condensation issues at all. I was a little concerned about the polls in the winter, but it held 3 inches of wet snow good enough. I can't remember right off hand, but I do think it was seam taped. I did spray it with a sealer before I used it, so I couldn't say how water proof it is right out of the bag. But I can say out of all the under $200 tents I've bought over the last 40+ years, this one has probably been the best out of them all. It's an 11x9 overall dome that includes a 4 foot vestibule. It says it's 68 at center but it's more like 66 or so. It's been perfect for my Ozark Trail cot and a big dog bed for my two 60 lb. dogs. I still have room for gear on the other side and a good amount of space between my cot and the door. Just thought that seems how you like really good deal camping gear, you might like to know about this tent as well.
Nicely executed
Thanks for your time and effort! This was super helpful!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
First video I have seen of yours and well done! You should review Paria Outdoor’s tents if you have not already.
U put in a lot of wk and gave a lot of great info. Thank you so much.
Thanks - glad you liked it!
Well done.
Thanks!
Thanks for the great valuable info. Love your videos Bro 🥳
I enjoyed the video, but I would say if you added timestamps it would be even better! Keep up the good work
Putting all more important features aside, I like those patterns on the stoic. #glamcamper
Lol - yeah, I’m a fan of that pattern too
Thank you for this!
Great review. Much appreciated!
What would you say about under 300 dollars? Going camping soon and struggling to find a tent I like for at least a 10 person tent
Wow, my favorite job❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ozark is called Oztrail in Australia 🇦🇺 Exactly the same products.. just a different label.
Trying to work out what the equivalent to Spinifex would be;.. we Australians have Coleman etc.
How long does it take to get a this size tent back in the bag? I've seen a lot of mounting videos but rarely packing back into the bag. In my experience, extra "double size" bag is handy for beginners. I made experiment: 15 % larger (opening its top) bag was easy, when original (bag long zipper) was difficult. Mostly need take tent out at home to clean and dry it. Or start an mold farm.
Great Job Please Keep it Up
Great job. Please keep it up
I love your videos
Please make a review of the stoic
Yep - I definitely am. It’ll go up in the next week or so!
@@littlecampfires keep the good work, love your videos
Nice thank
Wow, it’s amazing❤❤❤❤
Does anyone know if you can easily seam tape or repair a seam tape? Well, easy for a newbie.
You can seam seal, which is kind of like applying glue to the seam. That serves the same purpose. My understanding is that seam tape is factory applied, so I don’t think that would be an easy thing for somebody to do themselves.
@Little Campfires - how about reinforcing the seams with gorilla tape? Advisable or no? Serious question, neophyte camper.
Very nice
I'm a new backpacker and am at the process of accumulating my supplies. I do have a Hennesy hammock for when I want to do wooded camping. But I have this very light VERY cheap tent and I am considering reinforcing it with waterproofing, but if anyone has experience, is it just better to wait and get a more expensive tent than waterproofing my cheap tent? I should mention my sleeping bag isn't cheap and I'm going to invest in a good sleeping pad. I'm just more curious about peoples shelter opinions. Do you just spend more or do you tweak what you have? Thanks to anyone who may respond to this. I really want to make responsible decisions so my experience is fun.
thanks for the great video
Ohhh that's looking so goood😍
Good
Cabbelas used to be great and sold some fantastic gear now it is just the same crap as Bass pro ...stopped in to Sidney store and it was just depressing
😊😊😊😊
I drink a lot of coffee too.
Im shocked some of these tents have 2-3 meters of pu waterproof coating /s
Great, the best rated tent has the appearance it was made with clown pants.
It comes in other colors! They used to have a green version but the other current option is orange - it’s on super sale rn on steep and cheap
Great video. However, you do speak a bit too fast which makes it hard to follow!
Change video speed
How depressing. With all of our technology today you think they could make a rain proof windproof comfortable tent for under 300 bucks. As far as I'm concerned everything I've seen sucks. Thank you for saving me the money of buying any of this crap.
Slow down❤
Apples to oranges.
Gd content, poor sound quality. If you want I could take a crack at the original audio.
Talking way too fast!!!
put the video on 0.75 playback lol. i agree though
Idk if I can trust a review from a guy that wears hanes underwear
But did he sleep in them..... ?
Slow down❤
