THIS is what every instructional video should be. Short and to the point, well edited and shot, and showing little details that might be missed. Awesome job, sir!!!
I’ve watched maybe 50 videos on this tent in both color schemes and you are only the 2nd person to show the attachment of the fly to the 2 cross poles (which greatly increases the stability of the tent in storm conditions!). This is definitely in the top 2 videos on this tent and quite possibly #1. Fantastic video!!
Thank you Vern! Your video was absolutely perfect, fun and to the point! I just purchased this tent and learned from watching you that I was connecting those black poles incorrectly! And watching you fold up the tent and fit it back into the sack was super helpful!! 👌thank you and keep the vids coming!
Hi Terry. Glad you found my little video worthwhile. I'm not as comfortable in front of the camera as I am behind it, but I do enjoy making them as I learn about camping, and making videos. :-) Thanks for your comment and hope you enjoy your tent. Also, please check out my blog at gogzr.com Be well. Stay tuned. Vern
Thank you, Mr. Seward, for the amazing video. I was disappointed a reputable company like North Face had such lame instructions on setting up a tent. This is my first experience setting one up. Had it not been for your detailed explanation, I would've given in to frustration. Thanks for taking the time to film this. It is most helpful.
I’m so glad you found it useful. I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from producing these videos, but I intend to get back into it soon. In the meantime, please take a look at my blog: GoGzr.com
Thanks for posting this video! You explained the setup extremely clearly and at a great pace! Also, I'm glad you showed the take down because that was actually what I was looking for!
Thanks for watching. When planning that video I didn’t include the take down because I thought it would make the video took long. Glad I decided to include it.
Being a regular guy I never read the manuals. Was looking for an unboxing video to ensure I have all the right parts incase I wanna give it away or sell it. Just now I realized I've completelly missed the eyelids underneath the rainfly altho I've owned it and used it pretty actively for the past 2 years. Thanks man! :D
Great setup instructions. Very awesome job. I just pulled the trigger on this tent at REI...on sale for $110. I intend to bike camp with this tent and I am really looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Savannah, I’m glad my video is helping you get out there. If you want huge confidence boost I would also suggest you practice at least once setting up and taking down the tent. Once you’ve done it then the task won’t seem so daunting when you’re out in the woods. Good luck and have fun on your trip. Vern
Just got one of these for a company campout, Looks Extremely simple to put up, Northface did a good making it simple, and you explained it perfectly :).
Great Job. Without your video I would have been cowboy camping with my grandson. And the one thing I do not pay attention too (taking it apart), the ending showing you putting it away was great too. Thanks so much, you have a new subscriber
You provided a great setup demo. I'm looking for tents that I can use for motorcycle camping and I didn't want a great deal of setup hassle. This tent checked off all the right boxes. Thanks
Good teacher; really helpful video. Gives me more courage to get a slightly more complicated tent (to set up) than the simple set-up I was thinking of. Thanks-Merci!
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Just got this tent and set up the main portion in my living room, but I wasn't sure how to setup the rain fly and how to stake it all with the footprint.
Thanks so much, appreciate your attention to detail. I learned at least 5 new things about using my storm breaker tent!!!! Best video I have seen and I've watched quite a few...
I recently purchased this tent, but haven't used it yet. (I have set it up indoors) I am curious to know what you think about the colors, particularly the yellow mesh. I can't decide whether to exchange it for the other color which has the oak (yellow-orange) storm shield, which seems too bright. It seems that any color of mesh other than black, can distort the vision looking through it. Has that ever been an annoyance for you?
Hi Marilyn, No, I can’t say that’s been something that has ever crossed my mind. But now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m thinking about advantages and disadvantages of mesh color. I’m sensitive to bugs and mosquitoes seek me out like a fat kid might a cupcake. Mosquitoes tend to hide/wait on darker surfaces and avoid lighter ones where they can more easily be seen. In this regard, I’d opt for the lighter mesh. However, I think this reasoning is rendered moot because I spray repellent on the mesh. (Note: don’t do that with DEET based repellents as they may harm tent fabrics. I use Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. Very effective. ) As to vision distortion, I hadn’t noticed and I honestly don’t see much of a problem. So, it’s gonna be a personal choice.
Great video. Came to see what the actual color looks like. I prefer the orange but for some reason the business I'am buying from only sells this color. Oh well. Thanks for the video.
Vern, great instruction video, thnx! Figured it out yesterday my self but some good advice was given about placing the 2 big poles and fixating the rain shield. Anyways in a few days i`ll be departing for the most rainy part of Europe :-) ( Spain Picos Europa)
Vern, i just got back home some days from Spanish Pyrenees, South of France :-) Stayed over at several camp sites with the Stormbreak. At Spanish high mountains had some periods with heavy weather :-) Heavy wind, rain, hail, thunder all at the same time. Stormbreak performed pretty well during these periods of bad weather! Checked your vid once and i know when i`ve to put up the tent nxt year with stormy weather i choose your method (attaching the first 2 clamps and slide up) I didnt seem seal the seems, had no water inside with heavy rain. For nxt year i`ll seem seal all the seems. The thing i noticed is that there stays rain water on top of the tent but dont think thats going to be a problem when everthing is sealed. Another thing i enjoyed are the loops innertent where i put lines on so i could hang up all my stuff. At the outside tent i placed stormlines on all the loops, had to use these with pretty stormy weather. Though its possible to sleep with 2 persons i consider this tent as a one person, need to store my back packs too :-) For trekking i`ve got a little bivac tent, so i can leave the stormbreak at the campsite, anyways feel now comfortable enough to sell my Nordisk tent.
Best setupvideo of the stormbreaker on youtube, period. I just bought the assault 2, but I think the stormbreaker would fit my use better... could you see someone using this for below zero camping (light winter camping)?
Hi, thanks for the kind words. I’m not experienced enough to say for certain if the Storm Break 2 is a good option for winter camping, especially if snow is involved, however, it is shelter. It has sizable vestibules on either side of both entrances, keeping gear out of the weather is certainly possible. It certainly sturdy enough and it has good weather shielding qualities. I’d guess if conditions aren’t extreme (blizzard or worse) it should keep you dry. Staying warm is another thing altogether. Hope that helps. If anyone else has some experience with this or similar tents in cold weather please feel free to chime in. Vern
You’re welcome. I’ve found that the tent pegs nearly every manufacturer includes are crappy and I don’t understand why since they are so essential. Luckily, upgrading is not too expensive.
Awesome video. Great details. I'm thinking of purchasing this tent or the Stormbreak 1 to use for backpacking and bikepacking. I like that you actually showed the space inside the tent with you in it. To me, that's a critical area, especially if you are a big and tall guy 6' tall or over. What is your opinion on it since you made this video a year ago? Thanks.
Hi, I still enjoy the tent. I haven’t used it as much as I’d like, but when I have I found that it performs well. I think the interior would be adequate for a person up to maybe 6’2”. I’d also recommend using inflatable pads like the ThermaRest basecamp self inflating pad. Get two and get to rig that ties them together. They’ll cover almost the entire floor and is very comfortable. Set up your sleeping bag on the pad and you are good to go. I’m average height, around 5’10”. I can easily get another in the tent if needs be.
Thank you so much for this video. I just got this tent for my son and we are struggling with the rain fly. Now we should be able to do it. What are the strings on the side of the rainfly that are just hanging? Thank you!
Hi Eric, Thanks for watching my little video and I’m glad it helped. The cords on the raid shield/fly is so you can tie it down more. If you think about it, those six stakes (1 on either end and 4 for the vestibules) really aren’t enough to keep your tent from blowing away in gusty weather. You may have to tie your tent to objects that are more secure than the stakes they give you. I’ve never had to use extra tie downs, but its nice to know them and not need them. Vern
@@vernseward5323 Yes, we got it set up thanks to your video. Thank you so much for the information about the cords on the rain fly. Keep up the good work.
I have this tent and its great. But I still don't know what the cord on the sides of the rain fly or "rain shield" are for. In this video they are yellow and are not used either.
OH! Those are extra tie downs. You'd need them in places where the ground is sandy or loose and you have windy weather. Sorry. I should have mentioned that.
Hi, You’re right, the does include 8. Depending on your situation, you’ll use all 8. I think Northface gives you 2 extra because you’re likely to lose them.
Thank you! I’m considering the Stormbreak 3 for kayak camping. This helped me see it in action so to speak. I notice there are no vents on the rain fly, have you ever had trouble with it getting too stuffy inside or accumulating condensation for lack of ventilation? The fly doesn’t quite go to the ground-has that been an issue during rainy trips? Any stability concerns during windy conditions? So many questions! Lol. Thank you for the video!
Sorry for the slow reply. I've only used this tent in FL where there's always high humidity. I open the rain flaps on both sides and have a fan pushing air through. (I also use mosquito coils to keep the blood suckers at bay. I put the coils just inside the vestibule. Seems to work.) I've only had it in light rain, but that wasn't an issue. The sites where I've used the tent tend not to have a wind issue. Again, this is Florida and I camp among trees where it tends not to be very windy. That said, I would definitely opt for better stakes than the ones supplied. In the video I use stakes like the ones here : www.amazon.com/Tripmas-Ultralight-Titanium-Tent-Stakes/dp/B01CJAJPH2/ref=sr_1_79?crid=1QFPK22ASWNMV&keywords=tent+stakes&qid=1661503753&sprefix=%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-79 There are aluminum versions as well. These stakes will definitely worth the money. Easy to use and they hold great! Hope that answers your questions. Thanks for watching.
@@vernseward5323 Hi! Thank you so much. I ended up going with the Marmot Limelight 2P. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet--except to set it up in the living room. LOL Happy camping!
Thanks. One step I can't get: at about the 7:35 you mention tying back the rain shield, but there's no apparent way to do that and your video doesn't show exactly what you're tying together. Other than that, top marks.
I just got my Storm break 2. Not nearly as nice as this one. The fly didn't have straps that would tighten. And because of that the fly was very, very, loose over the frame. Filed a complaint about it. Asking for a fix. I really like the design.
Great tutorial. Too bad it’s not this easy to get rolled up and put in the bag. Not too fond of rolling poles inside tent. They should have included a bag for them. Will be using it for the first time this weekend.
Glad you found it useful. This only the second tent I’ve used. I found it to be very easy to roll up and get in the bag. I don’t roll the tent around the poles, I slide those in after I get the tent in. Anyway, hope you enjoy your tent. Please take a look at my blog: GoGzr.com
Great instruction… Step-by-Step for tent as well as Footprint. I use this tent for motorcycle camping. Weight is’t an issue but I can see where a backpacker would like a lighter tent
Tenda yang sangat bagus untuk solo camping tapi sayang harganya sangat mahal, hanya bisa bermimpi untuk memilikinya untuk menemani saya berpetualang di alam liar,
Es cierto que los colores más oscuros estarán más calientes bajo la luz solar directa. Si eso es una preocupación, siempre puedes suspender una lona sobre la tienda o simplemente encontrar un lugar sombreado.

Hi! Glad you found it useful. Hope you have a grand time out there
Been using this tent for years while kayaking. Absolutely love it!!!! After a long day of paddling, simplicity is key!!! Great video Sir.
Great to hear!
Thanks for the great video! Just bought this tent on summer clearance at REI. As someone else said, this is what instructional videos should be like!
I’ve watched many videos on how to set this tent up, and yours is, by far, the best! Thank you!
Wow, thanks! Glad you found it useful. Autumn is coming and I'll be making more of these types of videos soon.
STAY TUNED.

Hi Savannah,
I’m glad my video is helping you get out there.
If you want huge confidence boost I would also suggest you practice at least once setting up and taking down the tent. Once you’ve done it then the task won’t seem so daunting when you’re out in the woods.
Good luck and have fun on your trip.

Vern, you're a natural! Now I'm going to look for those eyelets inside the rain fly!
Glad you enjoyed it. It took me two times setting it up to find those silly eyelets under the rain cover. Once you do find them it all makes sense. 😁

Donde están las ventanas para que no haya condensacion?
Either side has screened doors to allow airflow. There’s also vents in several places.
I just got my Storm break 2. Not nearly as nice as this one. The fly didn't have straps that would tighten. And because of that the fly was very, very, loose over the frame. Filed a complaint about it. Asking for a fix. I really like the design.
Hmmm. Sounds like you got a defective one.
Incomplete actually....
But it got sorted with their customer service. The second tent was indeed complete.
Great tutorial. Too bad it’s not this easy to get rolled up and put in the bag. Not too fond of rolling poles inside tent. They should have included a bag for them. Will be using it for the first time this weekend.
Glad you found it useful. This only the second tent I’ve used. I found it to be very easy to roll up and get in the bag. I don’t roll the tent around the poles, I slide those in after I get the tent in.
Anyway, hope you enjoy your tent.
Please take a look at my blog: GoGzr.com
Great instruction… Step-by-Step for tent as well as Footprint. I use this tent for motorcycle camping. Weight is’t an issue but I can see where a backpacker would like a lighter tent
Happy you found it useful.
Tenda yang sangat bagus untuk solo camping tapi sayang harganya sangat mahal, hanya bisa bermimpi untuk memilikinya untuk menemani saya berpetualang di alam liar,
Unfortunately I am unable to translate your comment.
@@vernseward5323 can only dream of being able to have a tent like the one you practice, greetings from me, the island of Borneo, Indonesia
El color negro no genera mucho calor?
¿No estoy seguro de a qué te refieres? Mi tienda está verde.
Es cierto que los colores más oscuros estarán más calientes bajo la luz solar directa. Si eso es una preocupación, siempre puedes suspender una lona sobre la tienda o simplemente encontrar un lugar sombreado.
I can’t get my tent taunt
Hi,
Not sure what you mean by “taunt”. Would you elaborate please?
Vern
@@vernseward5323 I think he means taut.
I like your colorway! My rain fly is an orange yellow, which initially I didn’t mind but now I wish it was more lowkey.
Thanks. Actually was the only color they had.
Thank you!
