Great review !!!!! Best one on the internet. I think that I'm going to pick one up. I'm 71, and find it hard to enter and exit the one man that I have. My boy brought his LiteFighter from N.C. last week. 20 years in the Army and he says that it's the best that he's used. Thanks again for the flawless video and Thank You for your service.
I bought this tent for camping as it gets very high praise in all reviews. I cant wait to use it! I appreciated your review as you went over a few more details … Like i did not know about the place to stuff the screen doors. Very cool! Thank you!
Good video. I have a Lite Fighter 1 and am very pleased with it. There are many reviews of this tent on You Tube and one thing that no one seems to cover are the guy lines and their attaching points. Also, under those attaching points the Velcro strips that attach the fly to the pole structure. Believe me, in windy conditions this is very important feature that makes this tent a very good performer in heavy wind conditions. It can be like a rock. The only problem is Lite Fighter should provide 4 more stakes so that anchoring the guy lines can be utilized. For that one needs to come up with their own stakes. The guy lines are supplied though.
@@duffelbagdrag lol...hooah! I started my career driving 113's as mech infantry in HHC 2/21, 24th ID and just to be clear I've had nothing but respect for Bradley crews
I have the same tent & I bought the ground sheet too, still need to order the cold weather cover they make for it. LiteFighter now sells a 'copy' of this tent that isn't made in the US (The FIDO 1) but it also costs less. I guess it's supposed to be good quality though.
At the 16 min mark. Where you started the door roll. That roll is hiw i was taught back in 1982. So I took it back a few seconds. You are way younger than I. So, either you learned from your father, your trainer or both. Can you explain fir sone as to Why it is rolled that way? That is, rolled in & Not out. Of all the videos I have watched, Yours is the first video that has this roll. There is a reason for that... Could you explain for others...
Good video, very good camera work and editing. First time viewer, will subscribe. If you get the ground sheet, cold weather kit and the tuff sack (carry bag), would enjoy a follow up with those.
I have the LF1. I'm 6"5". Like the quality and the set up options, but if you are over 6"3" you will not be able to lay down flat on your back without pressing on both ends. If you are this tall or taller, you are better off getting the 2 person tent which is a bit larger. Currently, I just you the fly.
Tyvek works fine for footprint. It can be cut 3 inches shy all the way around, no need to stake it down will protect from ground abrasion and moisture just fine. I love a tent that clips, those sleeves suck and double walled is the way to go for condensation control. 2 doors and vestibules is huge. I'd prefer waterproof zippers over the flap that gets stuck in the zipper and I musta missed the price.
What I use. I do construction so we never have a shortage of partial rolls of tyvek house wrap laying around leftover from jobs. Bout the lightest cheapest footprint available and if it tears I just cut a new piece
They are high but you can get one off eBay for half the price. For non camo options, you can get a marmot tungsten from REI. very similar in design. Thanks for watching. Check out our website www.smallarmscombatives.com/store/c3/BELTS
seems cool but i will prefer a coleman bedrock, way bigger, 2 persons, a lil bit lighter, one pole and for only 80 euros, im 182 cm and i did use it a lot till 5 celsius degrees at 1800 meters altitude in heavy rain and wind..
Not a fair length-assessment with heels against one wall. First, it'd be better to never touch the wall (leave say, one-inch to spare). Second, people sleep with toes as the furthest length, not heels. Third, most people use a sleeping bag, which adds at least four-inches, and often six-inches to length. Fourth, not sure how a military-cot fits, but an air-mattress adds 3"-4" to height, plus aforementioned 6" sleeping bag, this time in height and one can take-off another ten-inches of length (if tent angle is ~45°, 10"-height = 10"-length). After real-world factors are accounted for, it's doubtful 5'10" can fit without touching ends? Much less 6'10"?

I have been using this tent for my motorcycle tent for a few years now. Love the ease of it, never had an issue with it.
Finally! Someone who actually showed the Ghost Bone supports. Thank you!
naprawde super recenzja. Dziekuje wam chłopcy. Kupuję ten namiot.

Best review on this tent I’ve seen. Stay frosty.

That zipper works really well! That is impressive.
Respect and thanks from the UK.
Great review guys. I'm in the market and trying to decide between the Litefighter 1 and the Fido 1. Don't think I can lose either way. RLTW!

Own the tent, got a cot on the way. Time for some relaxation this summer.

He sounds like the teacher on south park
I hate it when my "LiteFighter " scoots away !! Good job fellas . G.Speight
cool tent
I like this tent how does it do in severe weather
Looks a lot like my new One Tigris Scaena tent. Except mine is a 2 person. But works well for me and the dog......

I was thinking the same thing. Gonna get the FIDO 2. Thanks Rusty.

I liked it very much, BUT I had to sell it.
Not made for a 6.10 guy. If they would make a bit longer, not wider, version, I would buy it again.
I wish they would give us a natural non camouflaged tent and not over price them!

Is this factory seam sealed? have you had it in a storm? any leaks?
That not half bad.

Is your mom going to let you sleep out there all night?
