Brooke, the tent is absolutely beautiful! So much room...wonderful ceiling! So many phenomenal features. What a great choice of tents...good for you!!!❤❤
It is a beautiful tent. I love the overall shape of it. It would be the talk of any Ladie's Weekend Camp. The only issue for me: are the poly skylights. Those would not last long in Texas: the extremely high UV and IR and triple digits temps would destroy them. Good thing you live 1500 miles north! As long as you keep that in the forrest away from the direct sun, that should address my only concern. Yeah, canvas has jumped in price since the lockdowns. I just spent $2100 on a 10 x 12 for the local history events. I ordered one of the last tents that Panther Primitive will be making. The 16 foot square tent is just too big for me, considering it had a 14 foot tall roof! I'm not worried; I'll be able to sell it and cover the price of the new tent pretty easy. Lots of hunting lease owners, cowboy chuckwagon cooks, and Boy Scouts always looked the tent over when I set up at the local forts. Thanks for sharing that with us. It is a gorgeous tent, and will be so easy to decorate into very comfortable and peaceful space.
Any type of camping is good for me. Whether in the back of the Honda or the back of the pickup. We're elderly. One thing we love to do is make dinner portable and go up to the reservoir near us and watch the moon rise.
Very nice setup. That is going to be an awesome place to hang out. I would love to camp in that tent but my favorite way to camp is in the tent in the back of my truck. I really enjoy staying in that tent. Up off the ground in the bed of my pickup is a plus. My wife loves it because the bugs aren’t crawling on it in the morning.
Brooke, you’ve spent the better part of your life reusing, repurposing and recycling product. You deserve to spend some money on a quality product that you obviously will thoroughly enjoy. I’m impressed that, as usual, you built the foundation and installed the tent and stove all by yourself. You saved a ton of money right there! 😅
Wow! It’s beautiful! We are not getting any younger. We have no guarantees for tomorrow. If you have the money to spend something that’s your hearts desire go do it.!😮❤🎉🎉
When can I move in?! 😂 ❤ How amazing! It’s a giant white Hershey Kiss on the outside…a yurt on the inside…and all kinds of cozy no matter which way you look at it! Enjoy every second of it, Brooke! 😊
I absolutely love that lotus tent!! ❤ Just a safety suggestion for you Brooke, Maybe put some tennis balls on the end of the rebar stakes or something that the rebar won't poke through. I wouldn't want to fall on one of those if I ever tripped.
Brooke that is absolutely an amazing tent. I would love spending time in that beautifully decorated tent. You had such a pretty glow to all your builds. Great job! Oh by the way love the rain sounds on the tent.
While not as sturdy or long lasting as a wood structure, I'd say for the time and money invested, this is a GREAT option! It's really classy looking! Love it 😍
Fantastic review, Brooke! I enjoy the detail, the windows, Hobbit-like doors and how creative you are to craft a raised platform and add the additional features to make it a Wipple home! You my dear are amazing, talented and fearless!
It is so worth the cost. I love it. So dreamy. I would love to sleep in it this time of year . Listening to the earth come awake. Especially would love hearing the peepers. ❤
Moose all safe in the new tent from the 'Yoders'. So cozy! I love how you made the platform, added the wood stove, and found a Star Gazer rain fly that fits. I think it looks very elegant! ❤❤
Brooke you made an excellent choice, but we all know you have good taste. The sky lites are really the ticket. Free heat in the winter & light too. Youre right about the space between the tent & rainfly, its a buffer between the two. It looks like the mother ship landed but all that space is not going to waste. You can get a Sterling fan to circulate the heat too. Ya done good Brooke. Enjoy & GOD BLESS. 🙏❤☺
Wow! I love this! I'm all about living a Zen life and this tent fits perfectly for that lifestyle! What a great place to meditate...to find peace and calm. The simple way you furnished it is perfect! Sleeping bag is all you'd need. Place a yoga mat and create your practice area! It's beautiful and the rain fly looks great! This is fantastic! ❤❤❤❤❤
It's beautiful, Brooke. Very nice job making the platform in the middle of winter and getting it up and going in March ! You are soooo making me want my own land. A wooded secluded couple of acres all alone. Just me and the dogs, and the critters. I wish I had MONEY.
I completely agree - it’s fabulous! Love the open feeling you’ve created by keeping it simple and elegant! Thanks for letting all of us enjoy for a bit, too!🤨😫❤️💕🥰
I haven't seen you for so long! I pray our precious Saviour has you tucked safely under His wing 🪽✝️❤️ I'm digging your new tent, Lady! It is so.... girly! It's really cool! I've never seen anything like it. I had some bad stuff happen, I haven't been able to work for about 3 years so my mom wants me to move to her husband's property. She was suggesting a wall tent but everything is so stinking expensive. Looking at how you've set this up, has renewed my hope, in believing it's doable. Bless you, sweet Brooke 🌻🙏
I really admire you for having the gusto to get these projects completed. The Bell tent is beautiful but I suppose most campers could not buy one. But I do think that you and your hubby and dog will enjoy it a lot. Thanks for another informative visit. Till next time.....
Gorgeous tent and worth every penny! You work so hard that you shouldn’t even think twice about what it cost. The ability to watch the stars and the snow come down thru the trees would have sold me. Dual doorways and a place for a stove is nice too. Enjoy!
Love the stargazing feature and the spaciousness of the tent. The windows and options, and the screened door are great. Good choice and well worth it. Enjoy 💖💖
Brooke your tent set up looks incredibly inviting and cozy, I would love to spend time in that little "Belle". Great video you and Bushy are my two favorite content creators fun seeing both of you tonight.
Absolutely Awesome... You ought to be a reap for the maker. I know your judgment on product to be Honest. Its in your character to be Objective and give your point of view which is Awesome and Refreshing now a days. Im a Country woods girl too . Keep up the great content. God Bless....
I think it's money well spent. It's a well-made, well laid out, and beautiful tent to hang out in! You're always so thrifty whenever possible, so splurging on something you want and love is always worth it! Hope you enjoy it for many years to come. 😊
I like tents that are different . When I was kid , our family spent a lot of time camping in Europe during the 60s. I fell in love with the huge cabin like tents with huge huge windows. A few years ago I imported a tent from a tent from Europe , same style , and I love it !
Love it. It is more in the glamping section than a tent section, but it may have more durability than a glamping setup. I think it money well spent. So cool and like you, i love the star gazing windows. 10 out of 10 from me! Thank you for sharing Brooke!
WooooooW!! I think I'm in love with this tent!! I LOVE the stargazer ceiling and the double doors!! Love the openess too!! I love that you made a foundation off the ground for it too....Thanks for sharing this. I want one! I don't think you made a mistake!! I think I would purchase an extra rainfly to tuck away for a few years to have on hand for when the first one is wornout 🎉🎉🎉😘
Heck yes!!! I absolutely love this ten it would be amazing to camp in with the star gazer plus I can only imagine being in the rain curled up toasty inside with a good book
Love the tent! Gorgeous. It is difficult to comment on the price as I have no frame of reference but it offers a huge space with skylights so that's worth something. The base and outer rain fly will preserve the tent which is brilliant. Lovely.
I am so glad you gave such a thorough review of this tent. The only videos I've ever seen it used in are B&B glamper style sites trying to advertise it as a vacation stay, and not a serious review of its features. Thank you!
Vanessa here, I have cut pieces of flashing and nailed to wood things to keep critters from gnawing or climbing on works pretty good. Great video and love the Lotus!!
Like it! I bought a 17 ft. travel trailer in 2016 to camp in. I still like tents and would choose one at times. Your tent and the way you have it set up tops them all! Have a good day!
Brook, I am totally in love with this channel. And Dave's channel, and Michigan, and Alaska, and all the things that you two do. Love the tent, I personally have a 5 meter Bell Tent and love to go glamping in it. It is just under 90 pounds, so it is definitely a "Kick it out the back hatch" type tent. I am in Minnesota, so for me, spending 2 weeks on the North Shore of Lake Superior is a perfect way to "Rough It"
Hi Brooke. I have been watching for the first time, you and Dave’s adventure on “Alone”. I am so impressed on how well you did. You and Dave have a wonderful bond and work together so well. I first got hooked on you and Dave’s videos some time ago. Enjoy them very very much. I am in my 80’s and if I come back in another life, I want to be just like you. Thank you for providing me with interest and excitement at my very mature age. You two are the best!! ❤
Thank you for teaching me how to build a campfire. I’m a pro now after watching years of you building them. Just camped on Monday and you were right there in my head! Love this new tent, so cool looking! We have a fancy Rv but we take it off road & boondock often, in nature is my fav way to camp. Yours, “Bush Radical” & Nick’s videos I look fwd to, they are just so enjoyable. Talented family!
Brooke you have done this your whole life so any reviews you give I would believe 100% and I know your honest as well. I love tent camping so thank you for your opinion. So glad to see a video from you. Can't wait for another one. Love from Ohio
....... And WOW !! On the walk in , definitely felt like a yurt ... You certainly have an awesome design touch ... Because it's new ,, be sure to hose it down to close the pores on canvass ..
Love the Cabela's igloo type tent with a foyer. It is old, well used and keeps us toasty when it is cold. This one looks fantastic, will need to add it to my wish list.
Love your videos and get so excited when I see a new one posted! Mostly I get outside in my backyard, but it still makes me happy. Thanks for your positive videos and empowering women. Bravo!🙌
I've got a 13ft bell tent with stove jack that I'm just itching to use. Got the new stove burned off and ready to go🕊🌤🌼Absolutely Love your set up, your Bravery is such an inspiration for those looking for that extra courage to head off into the wild💖🌻🌄I just Love what ya do
Wow I’m absolutely in love with the tent. Nice choice! Moose seems to love it too! I’m hoping I’ll get to come to one of your retreats and see it in person! Have fun and hopefully the wild critters don’t chew more of the wood! 😬😉❤️
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you all. No links to the tent as this isn't sponsored. What's YOUR favorite way to camp?
In a tent and converting my Rav4 into a mini camper for a few nights!

well that's right
Wise words!!!
Agree!!
I LOVE IT!!!
lile my Dad always said, "It's only paper if you don't spend it ".
When can I move in?! 😂 ❤ How amazing! It’s a giant white Hershey Kiss on the outside…a yurt on the inside…and all kinds of cozy no matter which way you look at it! Enjoy every second of it, Brooke! 😊
What she said
Enjoy your Hershey kiss!
Oh Brooke I love that tent!!! Just gorgeous!! The star gazer is totally a bonus!!!
I absolutely love that lotus tent!! ❤ Just a safety suggestion for you Brooke, Maybe put some tennis balls on the end of the rebar stakes or something that the rebar won't poke through. I wouldn't want to fall on one of those if I ever tripped.
Funny you should that, I thought of the same thing!
It’s like a spaceship. It’s absolutely amazing.
yesss i love that!
Brooke that is absolutely an amazing tent. I would love spending time in that beautifully decorated tent. You had such a pretty glow to all your builds. Great job! Oh by the way love the rain sounds on the tent.

🌲⛺🌲
It is so worth the cost. I love it. So dreamy. I would love to sleep in it this time of year . Listening to the earth come awake. Especially would love hearing the peepers. ❤
Have been praying for your mom along with your family.

Ditto on the fan!
Love it !! A real upgrade from the smelly tent we had in the 60's but great memories.
they were heavy, yellow and smelt like camels butts
Beautiful, Brooke!! It looks so cozy and inviting. I love how you’ve decorated it. I agree, worth the $.
Wow what a beautiful tent!! No mistake made it’s worth every Penny .
You would sleep so amazing in that tent I know I would!! Good choice😃

It's the cat's meow and the dog's bow wow! Congratulations on money well spent.
The tent is GORGEOUS! With your finishing touches, as always, it’s even better. Worth the money. ✌🏼

The tent looks awesome!! It’s a new design but I can definitely see the merits of all the things you described.
