    I am a native midwesterner transplanted in the South. I enjoyed that familiar midwest tone and sense of humor which I miss! I do love Aldi and purchased a tent from them years ago that has seen casual use and done fine. I am always willing to take a chance on their stuff. Camping on a budget is better than not camping at all! Great humble and entertaining newbie review. Keep up the good work.

      Thank you for such a nice comment! It’s always fun to start a new hobby and to enjoy it. What’s the camping scene in the south? Is it as popular as it is in the Midwest?
      I’m hoping to get some more camping / fishing in this summer and make some more videos 😊

      @@Definite_Dave it is but not so much in the summer (at least for me). Too hot! Shoulder seasons are better.

    Do you think it would float if it were on water I mean like if you had to use it as a boat or if you were stranded I mean you say it has to layers but would it float do you think like a water boat also I love your dog and the shot of the sunset would the dog sink it in the water at sunset do you think or would it be ok? I tried asking aldi but they wouldn't tell me and no other reviews mention it

      Hi no I don’t think it would float on the water if it were to be used as a boat or if you were stranded I mean I said it has layers but nothing makes it float also thank you for loving my dog and the shot of the sunset the dog would swim but not float like a boat technically not sure if the sunset would impact this! Sorry that Aldi didn’t get back to you and I’m glad my review helped you

    Nice video. I just bought one today. Keep up the great work.

      Awesome! I used it again last weekend and if you’re tall like me, sleep with your head facing the door. You have much more space for your head 👍
      Happy camping 🏕️

    I purchased this for $29.99. Pleased with setup, but cannot get it broken down. Trying to figure out how to fit it in my car so I can return.

      It can be tricky! I have a video on my page for folding it back up. Give it a watch and leave a comment if you can’t get it

      @Definite_Dave It did help me understand, however, I found that I lacked the strength to bend the wires into the 'figure 8.' The procedure to break down reminded me of how to bend car windshield sunshades into a small circle.

    That is a 1 person tent, 2 person is really 1 person, 4 person is really 2 person and so on

      @Definite_Dave  5 місяців тому

      100% agree. I tested it out with two people this weekend and it was a tight fit for sure.
      Perfect for one guy and his dog though. Or it would be a good option for kids to use.

    2 person tent? Is that for 2 x 8 year old boys (Pre-puberty?)???? That is not two adults with gear size tent. I am curious how you "DEFLATE" that air mattress.

    • @Definite_Dave
      @Definite_Dave  5 місяців тому +1

      I’ve camped in it again with another person and we are both 6 foot + tall. It was definitely tight and we didn’t have room for gear inside the tent.
      I would thing this tent would be great for 1-2 kids to camp in!
      I deflate the mattress by folding it up and putting weight on it. Once most air is out, I close it up and roll it up tight. It can be a bit tricky to get right.

      Common sizing used by tent manufacturers. 2 people sleeping side-by-side with no room for supplies.

      This is a good thing to know. Maybe a educational video on ticks would come in handy
