Using my affiliate links above (only if you found the video helpful!) are what keeps my channel going 🥰
The graph is awesome - a clear summary of info that's really helpful.
Thank you so much! 🥰 I'm really glad that you liked the graphs and info, that makes all the effort that went into it worth it 😉
Excellent presentation.
Very thorough, helpful.
Hard work.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Michael! I'm really glad that you liked this! 🥰
These graphs are a nice addition for these kinds of comparative videos. Also, a really nice, thorough rundown of all the different brands. Hopefully this video gets highlighted when people do searches for this sort of thing.
Hi Christopher! Thank you so much for all the kind words, that means a lot to me! 🥰 I'm glad you liked the graphs! And yeahhh it's kinda slow now cos it's no longer summer, but hopefully it picks back up next year. Fingers crossed! 🤞
You do the best tent reviews
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me 🥰 I'm really glad that you liked this!
Keep up the good work we are coming into campaign season here in Australia and your reviews really help
@@aussiequad148 Aww thank you so much for letting me know that! 🥰 Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any! I'd love to help.
I was going to buy the Hyke & Byke Zion but changed my mind and got the Teton Mountain Ultra 2 on Cyber Monday.. now having watched your video I'm glad I did! I got the tent, ground sheet, and some MSR pegs on sale on Cyber Monday for $105 combined. ($83.00 for just the tent!)
Ooooh what made you change your mind? I'm really glad you did though! I think you're really gonna enjoy the Mountain Ultra 🥰 Let me know what you think about it? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. And congrats on the great deal too!! That's such a steal, I'm envious 😲
@@CampingGuidance 😁
This is the first of your videos that I've seen. Nicely done. Thorough, great visuals.
Hey KC! Welcome to the channel, I'm really glad that you liked this first video 🥰 Hope you stick around, more videos with great visuals coming up soon!
Love the mesh comparison
Thank you!!! 🥰 It was just by chance that I happened to spot that while camping in both 😅
Thanks for a great video showing the best tents in this price category. After watching your video on the Teton Mountain Ultra 2, I purchased one and got it for $109.00 during Teton's Fall clearance sale. I have had it out several times already and find it to be a great choice for me. It takes a great deal of work and cost to put these videos together and I must thank you for the great job you are doing for the community. Being an engineer I love the charts. Your numbers rating system for the different categories is great. Keep up the wonderful work!
Hi Denis! Thanks so much for your comment and the input! 🥰 Oooh that's a great price for the tent! If I remember correctly, I think you told me about that! And you supported the channel too 🥰 I'm glad to hear that it's been good for you so far! Hopefully it keeps going strong.
Haha yeahhhh it takes way more work and money than I wish it did, but I'm gonna persevere on since you guys like the content. I may have to tone down a tiny little bit on the details though 😅 But don't worry! I'll definitely keep the charts and rating systems! 🥰
Thank you for sharing your findings. You are incredible. I appreciate all the time you took to discover the elements of the tents😊
Aww thank you so much Alicia for such a kind comment, I really appreciate it 🥰 It means a lot to me that you liked this!
Love the videos and awesome editing!
Thank you so much for your support and comments always! 🥰 I'm really glad that you like them!
I loved your analysis. This was your best video yet.
Oh wow thanks so much for taking the time to let me know Daniel! 🥰 Sadly I think I'll be moving away from this format and analysis for the future :( Quite a few of my viewers get overwhelmed with this amount of information, so I don't think I'll be able to stick with it. Gonna test out simpler formats for a while, but I hope you still like those! I'll still keep all the important details and analysis though!
Thank you so much. I have a couple of Teton products already and am definitely going to look into the Mountain Ultra. New England weather is very unpredictable so having excellent rain protection is a much out here.
Thank you so much for your comments, they really help the channel and the videos out! 🥰 Yeah I really love the Mountain Ultra! But sadly it's not really a quick setup like what you're looking for :( But I suppose it's a simple enough setup that you can eventually get used to 😊
Another great video, Liz! Keep up the great work! 😋
Thank you so much Clem! Really appreciate your constant support and comments on my vids! 🥰
Nice! A great comparison! I was actually looking at small tents - this helps quite a bit. Thank you! o7
Thank you so much!! 🥰 I'm really glad that this video came out at the right time for you then 🥰 Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions, I'd love to help if I can.
TO CHANNEL OWNER: I want to commend you for your outstanding videos which describe and show and compare these tents. This is the second video of yours I have watched, after just finding your channel. I very much like your presentation style, and that you show the rulers, the head space in the tent, and that you point out the many features. More importantly, you get in the picture, showing us the time needed to put up the tent and take it down, and your rain test for an hour or more is very helpful. Overall, you are producing some of the very best product reviews (with very good use of charts and graphics) that are helpful when evaluating similar products like this. Well done! Keep up the good work. I hope your channel gets the views and is a success for you. I have subscribed and will share your videos with others in the future when I can.
Also, your narration is very good, clear and easy to understand, with good pacing. I also like that you show the air mattresses inside as that helps us visualize the amount of space. Also, thanks for mentioning the vertical sides on some tents, as it matters if you have more than one person inside (if the sides slope into the center too much), and headroom too.
Hey again Steadman! I replied to your other comment, but I'll copy and paste it here just in case you don't see it. UA-cam is wonky sometimes and makes comments disappear!
Here goes - Hey Steadman! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know what you liked about my video, and also for subbing and liking! 🥰 That really means a lot to me and definitely helps out the channel. Sometimes I think about changing the presentation style, but I'm scared to do so, so it makes me happy to know that you're happy with how the videos currently are 🥰
Great video, thanks for all your hard work! Will you be reviewing the Coleman skydome full rain fly to see if it addresses the leaking issues?
Hey Shep! Glad you like the videos, that means a lot to me 🥰 And yes that is on my to do list, but I don't think I can get around to doing that for at least a year or so. My hands are currently full testing out other gear at the moment :(
Thank you! great video - which of these would you recommend for early spring and fall when the weather is drops to high 30s low 40s? Was excited about teton but thinking it might be great if the nights become cold with the mesh. Thank you.
Ah I think the Teton is much more suitable for summer. The Alps Mountaineering Lynx was pretty good, and that has a lot less mesh so it will keep you warmer!
Amazing comparison of these tents. The Mountain Ultra is really good and punches above it's weight class. I like the new graphics, however the background is a bit gamer style so I'd suggest toning it down a tiny bit. The charts are really awesome. Good work mate, cheers.
Hi Wer Kar! Thank you so much for the input and feedback! 🥰 I really appreciate it so that I can continually improve them. Oooh okay! Do you mind explaining what you mean by the 'background' and also what 'gamer style' means? So sorry I don't quite understand what you mean, UA-cam newb here 😅
@@CampingGuidance Hey, you became a vet with when you crossed 10K subs mate😂 By gamer style background I mean the sprites (or the white sparks) flying around in the background of your charts. They'd be great if you were reviewing a graphic card or a CPU or something more performance oriented, however you vids are very calm and fact based. So I'd suggest something a bit more neutral or subdued. Your charts and rating system are spot on and they're of great help. Instead of a website you can have a read-only google sheet with the tents and their scores. Wix and Squarespace have good deals on website building and you can always get coupon codes for them.
@@Werkar27 Hi Wer Kar! Thanks so much for the reply! And that's only cos I have awesome viewers and subscribers like you! 🥰 Sometimes I'm still amazed at how many subs this channel has, I never thought it would happen 😅
Ooooh okay! I don't really game so I didn't realize 😅 But thanks so much for taking the time to explain that to me! Hmm so I should use a different kind of movement for the background instead of the sprites? Maybe I could use floating particles/circles instead of sprites, would that make a difference? 😅
Oooh and thanks for the great idea on the read-only google sheet! Do you think that would give away the video though, without folks watching it? 😅
@@CampingGuidance Thanks for that mate 😁
For the background, I reckon you could do either solid colours or use a neutral colour palette, like pastel shades and some effect on top of that.
I don't really think the google sheet would give away the video as that will only have your ratings. Also, most people use their mobiles or TV's to watch you tube and only a handful watch it on a computer. So they'll won't directly jump into the video description as that will involve an extra step. However, you can mention it during your vid and redirect them to a Google sheet with your affiliate links as well. Cheers 👍
@@Werkar27 Hey you're welcome Wer Kar! I should be thanking you for all your support so far 🥰 And thanks for the tip on the background too! I've passed your comment on to my video editor, so hopefully we can find a better solution instead of the sprites.
Ah I see (about the Google Sheets)! It's a great idea to include the affiliate links in the sheet! I'm not sure if that's allowed (Amazon is pretty strict sadly), but I'll look into it! I really appreciate all your comments Wer Kar 🥰
Thank you so much for helping us make a good choice Im trying to go to different countries and Exotic island 🏝 and camp on the beach I need a good tent for rain and thunderstorms. Maui islands are beautiful, how about Costa rica . I would like you to make videos of you camping 🏕 on the beach ⛱️ and always show us good, the bad and not so good tents,thanks
Thanks for the suggestions Steven! Maybe one day I will, but I've currently lost my car so I haven't been camping often in recent months 😅 But hopefully that'll change soon. I'm really glad that you liked this review too, many thanks Steven! 🥰
excellent !
Thank you so much Debbie! That really means a lot to me 🥰
We've been waiting for this! Great work and even more awesome effort pushing out this content.
We already bought the mountain ultra 2p via amazon couple of weeks ago and got a great deal 🫡 initial usage was very good and exact with our expectation based on your full review. 🎉🎉🎉
Hey Jan! Thanks so much for waiting! Sorry it took a lot longer than I expected it to, was too stuck in trying to get everything perfect 😅 Hopefully the next few videos won't take so long! And thank you so much for your support on the Mountain Ultra! I remember that you helped me through my affiliate link so that truly means a lot to me 🥰 Really glad that you liked it too!! Hope it'll last you for many more years with some care 🥰
Hola Liz!
This comparison it's super useful and makes me super happy - I recently bought an Ultra which I haven't tested as well as you just exposed here (I wouldn't figured about all this features anyway), so its very impressive and complete your comparison chart. Maybe durability will be another good one under defined conditions.
I'd like to know, if I may: do you take this tents to the outdoors or you keep them for testing purposes as you shown in your videos?
I really appreciate your work!
¡Excelente trabajo!
Hola! Thank you so much for your comment and the kind words! That really means a lot to me 🥰 Oooh and I'm really glad that you went with the Ultra! Have you had the chance to use it yet? I'd love to hear what you think about it if you have!
And thanks for the input on durability too! I'll see what I can do to add that to the mix. To be very honest, I don't continue to test every single one of these tents, which is why I didn't add in durability as a test haha. I only keep the tents I like (for myself that's the Ultra and Vista), and the rest I sell away second-hand to recoup some costs. And yep I do use some of these tents outdoors when I go camping, but only my favorite ones! 😅 So other tents like the Zion don't really see any outdoor use after I'm done testing them 😅
@@CampingGuidance
Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to me :)
If you ever come to Baja, Mex. Let me know - we could plan some camping in the area!
Positive vibes to you 🤙🏽
@@adventuresonwheels5272 It was my pleasure! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch my videos and comment too 🥰 Ooooh sounds great! I'm kinda broke for now (cos this channel is small and buying gear is really expensive haha), but after I'm making more money to travel again, I might take you up on your offer! 🥰
Thank You.
You're most welcome! Thank YOU for watching 🥰
Tanks👍
My pleasure! 🥰
Starting to think you have the best tent review videos
Awww I'm glad to hear that! 🥰
Great review! Where have you been? Haven't seen you in a few weeks.
Hi Richard! Thank you so much, your support and comments really mean a lot to me! 🥰 I actually finally hired my first video editor, so content production has been a bit slow, cos there's a lot to get used to at the beginning 😅 But we're hoping to push out more videos now, and go full steam ahead next year onwards with more types of gear!
Have you ever looked into the bivy and bivy blended tents?
Hi Ben! So far no, I haven't had any experience with bivy tents. I tend to usually like a little more space while camping 😅 But thanks for the great idea! I might have to try it out one day.
Have you heard of the Outrak Somerset 2? It is a fabulous tent, but only 1.95m loong, which really sucks. How does one define pop-ups between pop-up type ypu pull the frame together to the round one that just pops out?
I’ve never heard of it, think it might be available only in Australia? 🥲 hmm… the round one that pops out is the literal definition of a pop up tent I think. And the one that you’ve gotta pull the frame together feels more to me like an instant tent. It doesn’t pop open, but it’s still much quicker and more ‘instant’ than regular tents. That’s just my opinion though 😅 does it make sense? 😅
@@CampingGuidance I think you're right. I've had those definitions before. The one you pull through is an instant tent. The problem is when I search for that with manufacturers or retailers, they don't necessarily call it that unfortunately. I will try again to see.
I'm not sure if the Outrak Is just available in Australia. It seems to be a very rare brand. I have no idea where it came from. That's why I thought I would ask you. I was in a drizzle all night in it but it didn't ventilate much at all and I sweat like crazy the whole night. I was so exhausted because I couldn't sleep, I had to leave the tent and my sleeping bag behind because everything was wet from my sweat. Not from the rain. The tent itself was actually completely dry. I ride a motorcycle so it was just too difficult for me to take everything back. I wonder if it's still there. Anyway, as I ride a motorcycle and I want an instant tent and I had a centre zip sleeping bag, I don't think I can carry everything I really need to be comfortable. I couldn't even fit a sleeping mat. So I think my camping days are over unless I get a a van or something but I will not do that. I am a motorcyclist all the way.
You are one tough critic with the tense you review. I'm always amazed at your detail. And I'm amazed that manufacturers don't seal the seams as they should to make it watertight. It seems so basic. Thanks for being so thorough for your viewers. :-)
@@swoondrones Ah I think a lot of brands like to market their own types of tents differently for some reason. Maybe for better marketing 🤣
Hmm I haven't heard of Outrak, and I get brands only from the US. It is a very rare brand indeed. Oh man I'm so sorry to hear about your tent though, is it possible for you to go back and get it?
Oh yeah and there's definitely a limit to how much you can carry on your motorcycle sadly :( That's why I've only ever car camped all my life (and day hiked), I just like having lots of stuff 🤣 I hope you consider car camping one day!
Aww you're welcome! It's my pleasure really, it's always so fun to get to try out new gear, especially those I've never used before! It really means a lot to me that you appreciate the videos and all the details 🥰
They are sold for about $100, but I'd imagine it would cost may be a couple of dollars more to have them properly seam taped at the factory, especially that most of them are not that big or complicated. There simply is no excuse to not to do that, except in the name of maximizing profit. For those really leaky tents, one might as well save some money and learn to create shelters with tarps.
As always, a video well done.
Thank you so much as always! 🥰 And yeah I can't imagine it'll be super expensive to properly tape it too. Or maybe they just didn't test it too thoroughly and didn't realize where it would leak 🤦 Oooh and thanks for the tip on tarps too! I've never used one for shelters (without tents), but that seems super interesting and I'd love to look into it!
@@CampingGuidanceI have learned from campers that I know to set up a tarp over the tent if rain is anticipated on the last day. That way the tent is dry, and the majority of the packing up is done out of the rain.
@@chomp54321 Ah okay! I thought you meant a tarp without a tent, I've seen folks do that before but I never tried it out 😅 But yeah a tarp over the tent is definitely a great idea for rain! Thank you for the input 🥰
@@CampingGuidance I'm sorry I muddied the water by changing topic on you. In my original post, I did mean just using a tarp without a tent, but a tarp over a leaky tent sure is an economical way to help with a leaky tent.
My philosophy is to pay more and get a really good tent (I understand that not everyone can afford that). I only put up a tarp if it is going to rain on the day of packing so that I don't have to pack away a soggy, wet tent. If it rains on the other days of the stay, no tarp.
@@chomp54321 Ohhhh okay! No worries I totally get what you mean now 😊 Ah I see! I guess not everyone can afford a good tent (you're definitely right about that), so they may have to go tarp + tent on all days instead. Definitely something I wanna try out next time for the channel, though I don't need it cos I've got the Wawona 😅
If you need a pool in a campsite you only need bring the Coleman PopUp 😅
What a amazing video with brand new graphs to help to compare. You are the best 😊
But with your requisits I can say the 2S easy 2p is also budget price 😁
Hi Filipe! Thank you so much for all your comments on my videos and for your constant support always! 🥰🥰 HAHAHA The Coleman Pop Up is epic right 😂 Private pool! Glad you liked the new graphs! Wanted to upgrade it finally, and I'm happy with how it turned up. Oh yeah!! I wanted to add in some Decathlon tents, but based on the US prices, they're actually not within the price range :( The easy is actually more than $200! 😱😱
@@CampingGuidance The Easy 2P??? It's a huge price, I don't wanna think how is the price of the Easy 3P right now 😅
It's nice have a private pool Hahaha, you can charge tickets for baths 🤣
@@filipemmarques HAHAH you don't wanna know but I will just tell you 🤣 Last time a viewer bought it and sent me the link - $300+ for the 3P Easy! He asked me if it's worth it. I say "uhhhh I don't really know about that, it's super expensive" 🤣 Not sure if he kept it cos he didn't update me, but it's sooo expensive.
Hahahahha let me invite all my lizard and snail friends for baths 🤣
@@CampingGuidance OMG so expensive, here still at 120€ the easy 2P and 250€ the easy 3P. With my experience not worth pay more for the easy 3P, is much more expensive and much more heavy (more than 8kg) and you have space for 2 people and bags. Despite the easy 2P for two peoples may a litle tight you can attach the awning (60€) and you have enough space and you win versatility, if you go alone you bring only the easy (4,8kg) if you go with someone or stay one week, easy 2P + awning ☺️
Guess you will put some indicate arrows for the pop up and a sign saying "exclusive for lizards and snails" 🤣
@@filipemmarques WHOAH! Why is the 3P double the price of the 2P? That seems super expensive! I've only seen the 2P in Singapore, costs $150 (local currency, which is only about $110 US 😁).
Oh yeah!!! That's a super great point when it comes to the 2P and the awning. A lot more versatility, you're definitely right about it. Btw thanks so much for sharing the link to the awning with me! It looks SO cool!!! I've never seen an awning on such a small tent, but that makes it look even cooler. Next time when I review that tent, I gotta get the awning for sure 😁😁
What tent is goods for beach ⛱️ and sand ?
Hmm I think most tents should be fine as long as you have them staked down properly against the winds!
Im trying to go to the Hawaiian Islands
Thanks for sharing Steven! Hopefully we can find a tent for you that works.
Man! You aree a tough critic.
:)
Coleman are a terrible brand.
HAHAH I do my best 😉 aww I think Coleman isn’t too bad for the causal camper! I started out with Coleman too! Could I trouble you to share why you don’t like Coleman products?
