    I have to say its a pretty impressive modular tent system. But I can't get past the price of these things. Doing a quick check, by the time you put ion all of the bells and whistles, its about $3,000. Initially I thought that the high cost was just because it has been such a long time since I have bought any tenting equipment. But going on line I see that you can still get large external frame, two and tree room, 10 to 12 person tents for about $1,000. I get the novelty of being able to put up the basic tent in "30 second' gimmick. But $2,000 is a lot to pay for a gimmick that goes out the window when you start adding all of the other components.

    Does it retain a coal base ? Only issue I have found with firepits is you can’t use a camp oven on them as the coal base burns away to quickly. P.S. to stop the grill rusting , season it as you would a frypan.

    First up, its funny watching your videos. I don't think we have caught up since Berwick Scout days haha. Fantastic trip up there, and a trip that I have been wanting to do for some time now. Watching some of those steep climbs though, my only concern in my case is my Discovery being manual, can be a bit hard to keep steady. But if the Prado can do that, my Disco will do it haha

    I have used a product called Fertan quite successfully on rust. It is a convertor rather than a remover but can be painted over. I use a wire brush attached to my drill first to remove any scale. Anyway another interesting video and I agree you certainly need a cargo barrier.

    As a couple we take collapsible stretcher beds and line them either side of entrance. If u get the height right you can store gear underneath. Its quicker than airbeds and warmer off the ground. You csn buy stackable plastic drawers from big w that fit underneath plus between bunks 2 high, makes perfect bedside table. All our clothes and gear travel in them stacked in the ute. So easy to transfer. We use the same for cooking gear. Slide perfectly under tables.

Sunscreen on the other hand, my pasty Victorian skin burns and I lather it on...a bit hypocritical. I vote aeropress out of these two, still. I have an aeropress coffee every day before going to work, and every morning when I'm camping. The Wacaco press only comes out on special occasions - its a bit more involved, harder to clean, and you can only get a short black each use. Cheers!!

    Do the side and front panels pack away inside the same storage bag, or would I need to plan for extra space for them in the rig? Sorry if you went over this in the video, and I know I’m late to comment, but looking into this tent setup pretty seriously.

    • @OTWD
      @OTWD Місяць тому

      Many people keep the fly attached. I personally don't I feel like its a tight squeeze. The front and side panels in general do not fit. You need to allocate a bit of extra space. They pack quite small in the oztent supplied bag but I usually stuff them in canvas duffel bags (like Drifta Small Equipment Bag) so I dont have to be too meticulous folding them up.

  • @JohnAhrens-j1x
    @JohnAhrens-j1x 2 місяці тому

    Thanks Dan , I enjoyed your very informative video and all the great tips . I have owned an RV4 OZTENT for a little over 12years and absolutely love it . Over time , I have developed some useful modifications and also necessary improvements to help with heavy rain . The biggest initial problem was the roof ponding with fully enclosed setup, so I installed 3 aluminium spars to the front low pitch roof . ( sourced from an old outdoor umbrella) They simply attach between top & lower spreaders with cable ties and I’ve never had any more issues even in violent storms . You mentioned the spreader bar under the rear fly which is something that I tried once . After a night of very heavy rain , I ended up with a huge amount of water ponding on the roof. ( it bent the oztent frame) I will never do that again ! Spreader always goes above the fly ! A simple tip for fitting the fly by yourself is to extend the small alum pole , fit top into zipper tab and slide across, very easy ! Another issue common to all alum poles of this style ( top portion sliding inside lower section) after much heavy rain, a small amount of water always gets inside some poles and causes unsightly staining to the anodising if put away wet . ( Supapeg poles are similar but can be simply pulled apart to dry out properly) OZTENT poles are crimped at the base , so I had to open up and carefully reform the alum so that I can take them apart . Personally, this is the only way that I have found to properly dry out all my poles before storage . ( my friends can’t be bothered with this process and I have seen the results in a much newer tent , not pretty ! ) I do understand that not many will want to go to this extreme . I have lots of other OZTENT stories but that’s enough for now . Happy camping and keep on keeping !

    I don't like coffee. I like the taste of it and really like the smell, but hot coffee does something bad to me. I can't concentrate, my heart races, and I need to take a nap all at once. Even after a couple sips. That being said I have ADHD and when I take Adderall I can take a nap afterwards or just have a nice calm day(if you don't believe me go look up the differences between global stimulants and targeted stimulants). Anyway, I get away from my point- I came here to research a portable espresso machine for my girlfriend for her birthday, for when we go bikepacking. I had to pause the review and maybe have to stop watching it and go find a different review. I got that you don't like to put milk in your coffee when you said it the first time, I didn't need you to bring it up over and over again. I came here for a review about these machines, not a review on how everyone that doesn't drink black coffee is doing it wrong or that you have developed a lactose intolerance so you don't like your coffee with milk in it anymore. Just because you have a preference for something doesn't mean that your way is correct and you need to go in depth about how fermented roasted beans don't go with cows milk or whatever you said. If that's the case then I guess red fermented grapes don't go so well with a steak or peanut butter shouldn't go with celery. They should all be enjoyed by themselves for their own unique flavors and never combined with anything else? I like pineapple on pizza, I can order my pizza that way, and you can order your pizza your way, right? I don't have a horse in this race since I don't drink coffee, and it's okay to make a cute joke or two about your preferences, but YEEEEASH...

      I came back to comment that I’m sorry about how harsh I was. I did my research on my gift and wanted to see the rest of this video to give you due credit. You made a great review of each of these products and I can tell you have a WONDERFUL passion for coffee. If you don’t mind, I have a product suggestion for you. If you want fresh grounds while camping go with the Prolex or Prolex mini ii depending on how much you want to make. I got this suggestion from an REI manager today when I asked about the Oxo coffee grinder they have. He then proceeded to show me the display case he had set up showing vintage camping stoves from his own collection. It’s a passion of his to make coffee while camping and I was in awe. He showed me how each one worked and all their deliciously ingenious ways of working. We’re talking 1950’a camp stoves give or take a decade. It honestly brought me to the point of wanting to hug him for how much of a wonderful nerd he was about what he loved. Anyway, I appreciate you! I should probably just start a blog instead of dumping my feelings on you😂 Stay golden

    Dan are you able to raise the height of your seat at all?

    • @OTWD

      G'Day Phillip! Unfortunately not. Height adjustment in the 90 series was limited to the Grande (w/ electric seats). My TX has the manual adjustment (no height adjust) just like the GXL. Thanks for watching!

    They look good, how do you reckon they would go in a HiLux??

      Hey Dave! Reckon they'd be good. Can't find too many examples online....Digging on their website I found the 200/300 cruiser armrests (without cupholders) is advertised to suit the N80 Hilux. Google One Stone N80. Reckon the modern Toyotas share similar design dimensions(width) of the trim.
