I purchased this tent two weeks ago and used it for two nights. A very strong rain storm occurred the first night with very heavy rain and lightning. There was some fine misting felt during the storm but no leaks. Yes there is some condensation but in my experience with single wall tents not excessive. Staking it out was not intuitive. I did use a treking pole for the center support. For the record, I am 5`9" tall and have been backpacking for 50 years. My location is South Carolina. While the tent is not perfect, it fulfills my needs for a lightweight, economical and small packable shelter. Non of my gear was wet in the morning.
I purchased this tent two mnths ago. I'm in the uk and we get plenty of rain. It is a great back packing tent. Yes it is a bit of a messed up design but it keeps me dry and I great for over night stays. It is a light weight tent and is a small compact tent which easily fits snuggly into your back pack. I have no complaints.
Oh Jeez! Looks like a piece of you know what. I make my own gear, hammocks and tarps. Thinking of my own trekking pole tarp tent. My first thought was this is what I would make if I didn't put any thought or design into it. Just winged it. Cause I have winged a few projects and this it what they come out looking like. Keep it up Luke. Great channel.
Points for originality. Idk what the people who designed it were thinking, but at least the English description had some effort into it. They even gave a questionably helpful explanation of how to reduce condensation, which doesn't bode well for the test video, but at least they tried.
I wanted to tell you thanks. You reviewed the mongar 2 purple tent. I was comfortable with your assessment so I purchased one. I have used it in the Arizona desert and on the AT in NC and I love it. I am a senior female that backpacks, hikes, and camps alone. The setups is easy and fast. The size is perfect for me and my two dogs. And I love the color. Thank you for your information on the product.
@@icequeen8504 I have had so many comments from people wanting to know if this was the tent that the gear review guy talked about! Luke certainly has a loyal following. I appreciate his No nonsense approach to product reviews. I may not agree with him on some of them but I will take his opinion into account.
Hi, I also purchased the Mongar 2 purple tent, based on Luke and Suzie reviews and I love mine too! My girlfriends also each bought the same tent and we call ourselves the Sisterhood of the Traveling Purple Tents! I might take mine to Norway but am presently testing the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 due to the weight factor. Anyway I love the purple tent the best out of all my tents!
I agree with you guys. This one of those Luke trying to a serious review, a great service, but of a comical product. Luke needs some easy ones everyone and then.
I have a tent that looks a lot like this one. It's called the River Country Trekker Tent. It cost about $80 on Amazon. I have used it backpacking for 2 years now and have had no issues.
That tent looks like it was made by someone who has never seen a tent and had one described to them over the phone in a language they're only semi fluent in.
Randomly bought this off Temu and im pleasantly surprised to be honest. Other than the guy rope locations its actually not a bad tent. Got myself and 2 small dogs in. Im 5’10. Left it out overnight night in my garden knowing it was going to rain most of the night and to my surprise its bone dry inside. Scottish highlands, rains alot! Buy a foot print for it and its an ideal cheap light weight backpacking tent.
Lol... I remember my army 2 years service 40 years ago... no tent, no pad,... only tarp blanket,... no matter where we were desert, winter -20C, humid rainly forest... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ;)
Good luck testing that one out. If they just gave you a tarp with a ground fly it would be a great improvement. Thank you again for taking the time to test these kind of things out so I don’t have too. You have saved me a ton of time, money, and frustration.
I have the 2 person version of this and it is a great tent so maybe I got lucky, I live in Oregon and a rainstorm came down on me and my wife and we didn't get wet at all, so far this tent has worked very well
Reminds me of this old South American, I think it was from Peru or Argentina, but it was a weird design tent that was like that. Some sort of isoceles triangle design and the thing was designed to be set up with the smallest space available. Never meant for Americans at all with our bigger frames. It was mainly used by miners and herders in the fields that set up camp between rocks and on ledges. My dad used it on our boat when he went out overnight.
The orange 2 person tent reminds me of my first tent when I was 14, from K-Mart, which was an A-frame plastic tent with a blue plastic floor, it had one small white mesh window at the back, it dripped water all night from condensation. I used sticks to hold it up, or two cheesy aluminum poles. LoL! Thanks for the review Luke, and a few giggles.
I've used the River Country Products Trekker 1 tent, seam sealed it before I used it, and it was fine for several overnight trips on the AT. For the same price, it was better designed and quality. 2.5 pounds, not bad for 60 bucks.
well luke i was thinking.... (it hurt a little) but i came up with a reason for this design. it is a multipurpose tent. it gives you the feeling of security while you sleep and you wake up refreshed like you just had a shower. then you drain all the water into your bottle and you have your drink for the day.
Most single wall tents (no rainfly setup) will have interior condensation. I have a similar tent like that, but seems a better quality design and fit: the DD Tarp Tent. It also can have interior condensation...I bought it for specifically as a very light (2-lbs), single overnight use on fly fishing trips. It serves that purpose well.
I'm happy with my tiny Naturehike 1P cycling tent but I'm always on the lookout for a more affordable trekking pole tent. Thank you for weeding out the weird ones.
I bought this tent as a backup to my hammock tent. I agree it's more of a trekking poles bivy but that's why I bought it. The price is fair and the weight makes it a viable backup cover. I would rather sleep in this than under a tarp. More than likely I would have full screen open with my hammocks rainfly above it.
I bought a tent from a company similar to this one and tried to return it. I had to find out through pay pal how to do it. It would have had to be at my cost to send it to China with no guaranty of a refund so I kept it and pay pal also told me that companies like this get so many complaints that they frequently change the web address and name of the product so they can continue to sell it under the new name. They know that their product is garbage and they don't care. Cant wait to see the review. I gave my piece of garbage tent to my friend so his kids can use it as a fort. I think he finally took it to the landfill.
Outstanding AF Video I love your reviews...I will not buy any equipment that you do not recommend. Just got home from camping ... I used the One Tigres Collapsible Cot. Outstanding.
Love your channel! Been rush watching every episode to find the fight tent! I finally decided on the Teton mountain sport ultra 4 person tent for me and my 2 dogs! It’s set up today for its going to train tonight! I can see this tent that that you showed us now as a backyard boys tent! I would not trek/ travel with it. Great footage and I’ll keep watching!
Excellent video, thanks for the work you do. That tent looks like a bad lanshan 1. Luke I have a stealth camp planned soon that is mission impossible. Wish you were coming because I know I'd get away with it, as it is, we will see what happens! Stay well!
I think I would take my chances in walking 12 miles in heavy down pour back to my truck before considering camping in that tent on a chill warm summer night.
Luke, Thank you for reviewing this tent. Far too small for me (6'), but I was interested with the price a few weeks back. I was also very curious about the whole "Brand Story" BS. Thanks for always calling out these Chinese companies and their predatory tactics and shoddy products!
Hmmm 🤔 I thought I've seen it all. But then someone must've been bored during the pandemic. Voila!!! Here's a weird tent to test out. Thanks for sharing your honest to goodness review of this tent. That cliche, you get what you pay for, IS definitely an understatement concerning this tent. The name in itself is a mouthful. Too bad the designers and the company didn't bother to test out everything about this tent. SMH. Again, thank you for always sharing your explanations and thoughts. My family and I appreciate your time.
Hello, great channel very informative. Have you ever seen or reviewed a Camppal one person tent. It's a one pole free standing with separate fly. I have had this for over a year now. Paid 35$ for it on Amazon. It has really surprised me how good this tent is for the price.
I own the landshan 2 pro. It’s also a trekking pole tent. It’s a very popular tent budget tent. I’ve really enjoyed it. I would love to see what do you think of this tent and do a review of it.
Get the 3f Lanshan Pro 1 person. Same style but far superior. Found it on par with my Zpacks duplex as far as condensation and waterproofness goes (but not overnight sag quite....still pretty good with Sil Poly rather than Sil Nylon.
Looks like the perfect tent for that person you can't stand ( always borrowing gear & inviting himself ) to use on the next camping trip. If that doesn't make him stay home , nothing will.
Luke, We gotta rename this the Chinese Billionaire Tent ! Designed, Commissioned and Marketed by a guy who has never been more than 6 blocks from his Singapore high-rise. Maybe the "Group" of college students who endorsed this thing have moved on to fighter aircraft design now😂 Camping apparently Ain't there thing. . .
Another thing you may have missed, if you have your sleeping bag in this tent, it can cover up the vent near your feet. Making the vent useless for its design.
I think a cheaper tarp would be a good alternative to this horrible tent you could get a good quality tarp that will keep you dry and be easily set up for half the cost. Great video thanks Luke 👍
Underwood Aggregator sounds like the name of a rock crusher rather than a tent, but they must have paid the right people at Amazon, this product comes up pretty quick when you search "hiking pole tent". Its a class of tent that I wouldn't mind seeing more of though, the concept itself is very interesting.
Looks very similar to Trimm Pack DSL, a tent which is not really that bad. I've used one in Scotland for almost 2 weeks and it was ok. You have a lot of condensation and no room, but you can manage. But that one is twice the price if this one. Personally, I love trekking pole tents and a Lanshan 1 is always a good choise.
I have the same tent that I got from AliExpress last year. Mine's lime green besides that it's exactly the same piece of crap. I'm 6 ft 1 and I cannot fit in it. I pitched it once took my lumps and threw it out. What a waste of material. I totally agree with you on never being able to properly pitch it. It's like chasing your tail. Whoever reads this comment, please do not buy any tent from any off-brand manufacturer that looks anything slightly like this!
It would be cool to see a review of the BUSHNELL 1 PERSON ROAM SERIES Backpacking Tent. I believe it was made by Bushnell for Walmart a few years ago. I wouldn't normally recommend that anyone buy a tent from walmart but this one, being made by Bushnell, seems like it might be a decent lightweight option. They were selling for around $50 a few years ago but have gone up to around $120 now.
As you said that’s definitely more a bivvy. Think you could make a higher guide line with a smooth rock on the back side but run the risk ripping the tent. For $55 though I’ve seen so much worse on Amazon. I think generally speaking them no name brands on Amazon tend to be useless or just strange.
Looks like an inferior version of the "DD Hammocks super light tarp tent". I believe that DD Hammocks have a pretty decent reputation among outdoors folks as well. The DD Hammocks one will cost you twice as much, but I know where money would be going if I had to choose between the two during a bad night in the elements...
Fully agree with you, this truly was an inferior version. Owning DD Hammocks version it's fairly fun to see how bad this Underwood Aggregator was. Regardless, DD version is really functional in all regards, the air intake is so much better designed that rarely any condensation occur.
Luke you definitely get points for being as positive as you possibly can about a clearly woeful and poorly designed product. Nothing about this “tent” has any appeal at for a serious (or even a not-so-serious) camper. Good review!👍
This tent looks a whole lot like the River Country Trekker1. And it has the same issues. The wall material will lay right on the floor at the foot end. And, like you, my feet and head did contact the walls on both ends. Needless to say, I do not use it anymore. Great in theory, just bad implementation. Thanks for the video!!
Try adding sticks to raise the guylines so the tent body is pulled outward before being pulled down to the stake?? Agreed, looks like the River Country Trekker 1 tent (I have only seen pics). If it works, it's a disposable stealth camping tent. Leave it behind if you've gotta beat feet.
Man o man what work of something? The only thing I could say gather more poles/ sticks and tie out the tie out up and out with the extra poles, maybe that may work or not. The best would be get a better tent!
So kuiu designed something similar called the ultra star...I used it once... Once! The same issues you had with your tent I had with mine. I could not stay dry from the condensation build-up. Kuiu made junk and should have reimbursed me...they told me to sell it and try to get my money back. So pass this junk off to someone else... Kuiu you are fired!
I wanna see how that looks after a few hours in a good heavy downpour. All of that wet sagging material will cave in around the lower edges even more, making the already small space even smaller.
With it being as small as it is I would almost think it’s a tent for children. But with all the guidelines and stakeout points I would think it would almost be impossible for a kid to set up by themselves. Not really sure where they were going with this….
Nope! The 2P "pup" style looks way better. Think tank!...hahahahaha...yeah right, where is this think tank located, Portland, OR? Thanks for all the reviews, first class info. Enjoy!
LOL the fancier the name the worse the product...reminds me of when I was a kid and my uncle came home bragging that he'd just got a new motorbike, a 'Provencal Express Gran Tour' (it was something like that but definitely not that lol), so we all went out to find the most pitiful looking moped we'd ever seen :D
This looks like someone was watching those silly one pole tarp tents where someone takes a square and makes a three sided pyramid by dividing the square into four triangles and then folding away most of the fourth triangle… then sewing it together. In fact you would be better off simply having a tarp and bug sheet, and then augmenting it with cordage, poles and stakes
Luke, when you do an overnight on this tent, go about 100 yards from the Tundra and have your escape plan to truck camp. Just leave it set up and write “FREE” on it after aborting the test. OMG what a hot mess this tent is.
Oh luke that tent is a big no no from me as well .sorry peanut what was you thinking sweetie when you saw that ? I'm 5ft9 so that would be no good for me . But thank you for showing us x

They should've put as much time into designing this as naming it.
Thanks Luke for your always no agenda, honest, and straightforward reviews. You steer us away from junk products toward good gear. Much appreciated!

I'd love it if this janky tent turns out to be 100% waterproof and OK to sleep in.
All it needs is a 5ft tall hiker.
I can see an application as a Cub Scout leader if so.
I have the 2 person version of this and it is a great tent so maybe I got lucky, I live in Oregon and a rainstorm came down on me and my wife and we didn't get wet at all, so far this tent has worked very well

Eagle's Camp bivy scout tent test? Usually under $30 from Dunham's. I do suggest using a small tarp and trekking poles over the door if it might rain.
Lol! Looking forward to the test night

Just to throw a suggestion cut some sticks and use them as taut polls at the guy-line points that may help with the walls

Thank you Luke for all of your reviews!! I don't like that tent at all,, actually I hate it! Very weird tent,, and I am sure it leaks badly.

So kuiu designed something similar called the ultra star...I used it once... Once! The same issues you had with your tent I had with mine. I could not stay dry from the condensation build-up. Kuiu made junk and should have reimbursed me...they told me to sell it and try to get my money back. So pass this junk off to someone else... Kuiu you are fired!
I’ve never seen anything like that in my life????😅😂🤷♀️🤷♀️💖🙏❤️
I wanna see how that looks after a few hours in a good heavy downpour. All of that wet sagging material will cave in around the lower edges even more, making the already small space even smaller.
With it being as small as it is I would almost think it’s a tent for children. But with all the guidelines and stakeout points I would think it would almost be impossible for a kid to set up by themselves. Not really sure where they were going with this….
we need you to get your hands on a Dan Durston tent to test out if you can get one
The two person version is just fine.
Nope! The 2P "pup" style looks way better. Think tank!...hahahahaha...yeah right, where is this think tank located, Portland, OR? Thanks for all the reviews, first class info. Enjoy!
LOL the fancier the name the worse the product...reminds me of when I was a kid and my uncle came home bragging that he'd just got a new motorbike, a 'Provencal Express Gran Tour' (it was something like that but definitely not that lol), so we all went out to find the most pitiful looking moped we'd ever seen :D
Please do a review on the sea to summit telos tr2 I've been using it and can't say enough good things about it.
Dude whoever does color grading of your videos needs a raise!
If you're doing it yourself, you should try a career in commercial cinematography...
On the English Amazon site. There is only one review for this tent. And it says in capital letters. This tent is not waterproof.
Looking at this tent reminds me of one name, “platypus”. This is the platypus of tents, it just is a bizarre thing…
OMG, I have another version of that tent. Appy Trails. You should get one just for fun. Not you Luke, you've already reviewed this one.
Hey Luke! Hope you are good brotha! Just wondering… would you be willing to do a review on some truck tents? Cheers friend!
This looks like someone was watching those silly one pole tarp tents where someone takes a square and makes a three sided pyramid by dividing the square into four triangles and then folding away most of the fourth triangle… then sewing it together.
In fact you would be better off simply having a tarp and bug sheet, and then augmenting it with cordage, poles and stakes
Thank you for the review
Luke, when you do an overnight on this tent, go about 100 yards from the Tundra and have your escape plan to truck camp. Just leave it set up and write “FREE” on it after aborting the test. OMG what a hot mess this tent is.
how this gets so many positive reviews on amazon amazes me. nd at 6' 3", i could not fit in that tent
That's the way company's do us now days.
I'm curious if you hang the top from a cord instead of using the trekking poll if it will improve the pitch. Either way a very strange design
They should have called it Underwood "Aggravator"
its warm out the rainfall in the tent you can use to shower with and leave the thing on fire when you exit the campsite
Oh luke that tent is a big no no from me as well .sorry peanut what was you thinking sweetie when you saw that ? I'm 5ft9 so that would be no good for me . But thank you for showing us x
Hi Luke, I'm looking for a tent seam sealer product. What product would you recommend? 🤔 Thank you!
But can you teach underwater basket weaving classes from this tent………asking for a friend
