- In this week's episode I head out to review & test the OEX Jackal 3. It's a 3 season tent but could well be a 4 judging with how close to the floor it sits and also along with superb mess pole inserts to save them from snappjng under wind pressure.
With it being cheaper than its sister the 2 man version Leon though why the heck not and purchased it for us to have a look at.
She's a big unit but still not too bad, you get a decent large bag it comes in that gives you no hassle at all in getting the tent back in to it. It's a two pole tent were the inner attches after the shell is erected which is a massive bonus.
There's mesh that reaches over each of the pole inlets to allow for wind in harsher conditions so for you guys who enjoy camping up high its a real plus point.
I also have my Kelly Kettle with me to cook up some real nice spicy food on a cold winters afternoon. On the menu this week is Chinese Salt & Pepper Chicken cooked over a wood fire using the Kelly Kettle cookset.

I like the Kelly Kettle Cookset and the tent is very spacious. I really like this tent and perfect for most months of the year.
That chicken meal you cooking up looks so yummy. Thank you for sharing a great video.👍🙂
Hello Bjorn, yeah the Kelly is great mate, so much fun! Yeah I reckon it will do just the job mate, possibly the full 4 seasons mate.
Ahh cheers mate, it's a great dish that the kids enjoy for sure. Thanks very much for watching and your comment. Cheers, Ant 👍
Nice one Ant and great tent Leon! Looks roomy, with a decent bathtub on the inner, nice low profile and generous vestibule - the integral groundsheet is ace. Top food and a good day in the woods as ever. ATB lads 👍
Hi Chris, yeah it's a really nice tent mate, looking forward to camping in it. Thank you buddy for the watch and your comment matey
Used the Jackal III for the first time at the weekend. It's a really good tent, but there are two things that I would change. The inner really needs fasteners or a peg loop in the middle as anything heavier than a sheet of paper in the pocket pulls the sides in, meaning that you need to push your kit bag up against it. Same for the top. A fastener or a short strip of velcro attached to the outer would lift it, giving an extra two inches headroom in the middle. A couple of poles to make a porch from the door would be handy too. I will likely add the velco myself the next time I use it, and probably the poles too. Other than those two little details, it's a solid tent for the price, £79.99 at time of purchase.
Hello mate, yeah it's a bloody good tent for sure isn't it. Leon hasn't mentioned that he's found any issues with it, I'll ask h8m next time I see him. Yeah a little DIY is a good thing, makes it more your own doesn't it mate. Thanks, Ant 👍
I'm just about to head out for a night in my new Jackal 2 👌🏼bought it last year so it's about time to get out in this lovely weather! Great video 😎👌🏼
Hello Beefy, ahh cracking mate, you won't be disappointed pal. Its a great tent, solid and near as dam it a 4 season's tent too. Let me know what you think of it when you get back will ya. Cheers, Ant 👍
@@AntSurviveTheNight will do Ant 👍🏼 I might take a few videos and do a review myself 👌🏼
Good stuff mate 👍
Never seen anyone so happy with a piece of kit like your kettle (totally justified) 👍😁 Would be interesting to see how that tent stands up to windy weather, great video lads as usual 🙂
Hello Malcolm, haha I love it mate! It's soooo good. Yeah I'm gonna get Leon on a mountain in this on a wind night! Thanks very much mate for watching 👍
Thanks for the video. I learned a lot as usual. I'm very intrigued by that Kelly Kettle. Great cooking how to 👍
Hello there Ted, thanks matey very kind of you and glad you are picking little tips up from the videos mate. Yeah the Kelly kettle is just awesome, its featured in this weeks video too, I can't get enough of it lol. Thanks pal
Well done chaps! Another cracker there Ant...that chicken looked mint! 👍👍...looking forward to seeing Leon's tent out in action...Top job - T🙂
Hi Tony, thanks pal. Yeah it tasted great mate in a cold day too. Yeah we'll be testing it Saturday, looking forward to it. Thanks again as always buddy
what means :
There's mesh that reaches over each of the pole inlets to allow for wind in harsher conditions
and what is the close to floor 4 season thing mean
Hi Niko, yeah there is mesh material that stretches over the poles to allow the wind to blow through putting less stress on the poles.
Yeah, the tent needs to be below and onto the floor to protect from weather such as snow fall.
Hope that helps pal, Ant.
@@AntSurviveTheNight cheers
Oh mate, that salt n pepper chicken looked amazing. Leon’s Tent looks great. I like the porch area and the way the door works with the top vent. Could cook in the porch in bad weather. I have an OEX Rakoon tent and it’s great. The overlapping poles are a bit bendy when the wind gets up though, but the Jackal pole set up looks much better and it looks like it’s outer pitch first too. Great video Ant 👍
Hi there Joe, hope the solo camp went well buddy? Yeah it's bloody fantastic mate I love it. OEX are a very good brand, some great looking tents that are very similar to the higher brand models. I have two new tents to try out in the coming months but I will be having a look at their band more closely now.
Yeah the food was amazing buddy, thanks.
Cheers as always pal for watching 👍
Great vid Lads looks a cracking tent ..love ya kettle pall..👍👍👍
Hi Craig, big thanks dude. Yeah it's a really nice tent mate. Yeah the kettle comes everywhere now, I'm never leaving it home alone 😄
Good to see the Kelly Bong making an appearance again. That chicken looked great! Tent seems decent, also 👍
Lol Benny. Yeah it's quality mate, I love it. The food tasted so damn good pal. Yeah the tent is well good mate. Thanks for watching pal
Another great video Ant. Just a word of advice, when you take the kettle off when it’s boiling, use both hands and have the handle at a 90 degree angle to the kettle. This will stop you potentially burning your hand. Keep up the good work.
Hello Andy, thanks mate good tip as I did feel the pain behind camera when I took it off lol. Thanks pal for having a watch, good of you 👍
That meal looks really banging mate 👍 yum!! That kettle really works well 🙂 The tent ⛺️ looks very well built and it be really good to see it being put though it’s paces 👍 P and X
Hi guys hope you are all well. Yeah it tasted amazing Phil. You guy would do well in this tent, lots of room and not too heavy, it would be a good buy for you. Thanks both of you for watching and cya soon
i got one too
Nice Niko, hope you like it pal
hi nice video. is your head touching top of tent or almost.. when u sit fully upright in it? thanx
Hello mate. Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. With the inner of the tent out yes no problem at all, I'm 5.10 and my head was nowhere near so great for summer months but with the inner in yes, you had to stoop a little or your head would touch.
Cheers, Ant 👍
Hi Ant loved that chilli chicken made my mouth water 😋👌 ive got the OEX rakoon II cheap as 55 snots and a very good tent 👍 just a couple of tips on the kelly kettle chief ( not trying to teach you to suck eggs ) the hole on the side of the fire base should always point to the wind ( I noticed you blowing into it ) And the big AND if you tip the fire base upside down ( when packing away ) the base will sit inside the actual kettle , hope this helps 👌 I bet you run off to try this 🤭👍
Hi there Martin, cheers matey, yeah it's a must to try outdoors that pal, you'll love it I'm sure. Yeah Leon's tent is very cool, nice and cheap but very usable in all sessins id say. Ahh both top tips buddy I shall try that for sure next time I'm out with it. Thanks for the watch and your comment 👍
Nice one Ant , that Kelly's a cool piece of kit .
Hi there Neil, it is fantastic matey! I love it. Thanks pal for watching 👍
Nice one lads, tidy tent n scran looked mint 🙂👍
Atb Rick n Billy
Hi Rick, thanks buddy. Yeah the tent is class mate. Cheers as always for watching pal 👍
I'd ordered the 2 but the 3 arrived today instead
Hi James, there’s a slight difference in weight I believe but hey I’m sure that won’t matter buddy. Cheers, Ant
Tent looks awesome. Sadly I do not think I can ground camp anymore unless I have enough room for two cots. Still good to see you out and having fun :)
Hi Rach, oh there's plenty of room in there for you both and cots easily. As always thank you for watching 👍
Brilliant lads , that chicken 🐔 looked amazing anth ,oex do some great camping gear and that tent is like a palace Leon nice one cheers lads all the best see yous soon 😀 👍 🏕
it will be a palace when i finish with it lol
Hi Gary, oh mate it was so good! Yeah I really like OEX gear, not bad at all. You don't have to pay through the nose to get a decent tent. I'll be watching how it performs in bad weather. Thanks matey as always
Ant, is your back pack a LT 70, looks and reminds me of my old scout’s back pack? top video and thought the salt & pepper chicken looked awesome for camp cooking. Feeling guilty for dehydrated meals on last camp after watching.
Hello Darren mate. No pal it's the LK35, a little cracker, you can get a load of stuff in them that's for sure.
Thanks mate, it was very tasty and I'll defo be having it again. Thanks buddy for the watch 👍
That does look a great tent, I'd not worry too much about being in it in bad weather. A bit heavy looking for long trips, but canoe trips it'd be perfect.
That kettle is the dogs doo daa's too.
dont worry about long trips, i dont do them :) lol. Its not as heavy as it looks tbh, i have lifted heavier tents.
Hi Si, yeah it's a quality tent mate for sure, you'll be safe as houses I reckon pal. I don't think there's much of a weight difference in this and my Banshee, I'll double check the weight mate. Yeah the Kelly is sooo damn good mate. Thanks for watching as always mate
Any police questioned you about the blades?
No mate they are always tucked right at the bottom of my back and only come out when I’m at camp.
Gr8 vid as always. How’s the cookery book coming along?😋
Hi there Mel, thanks so much. Haha yeah like
Phoebe Smith, I'm sure hers are better haha. Thanks for the watch Mel 👍
Fab video Ant, looking forward to the next one ! I have the Rakoon 2.1 which I`ve only used the once, very impressed with it though. It`s in my videos, take a look if you get chance Pal.
Hi Martin, thank you very much pal. I do like a new tent, its like a new pair of jeans 😄 cheers matey 👍
looking for a tent for motorcycle camping only thing i would mostly be on my own
Hi there Peter, I'd definitely go for the 2 man then if your heading out on the motorbike mate, just that little be smaller for you. Go Outdoors have a sale in. Thanks for watching pal. Cheers, Ant 👍
Ant the holes so it whistles I've got the ghillie kettle wich I bought instead the Kelly because the cap is an old fashioned whistle like your nan's made of metal ..ive made a cork bung so can carry the water init and fuel in middle so it's ready to go great video 😁😁
Hello Desmond mate. Yeah top idea with the cork to carry water, I may look into that pal. Thank you buddy for watching and commenting pal 👍
Home and bargain has Yankee candles for a quid..in a jar the wide cork lid is a perfect fit on my ghillie kettle😂😂.just in case your tight like😎😍😂
Wicked mate I'll head there tomorrow thanks
I've a whistling kettle an' all pal cost me a fiver from Boyce's in Nelson ages ago....lol. Bit heave for me to carry with the rest of my stuff. Iwork to the plan that a 1 man is for dogs, 2 man for one human and so on. I have a 3 and 4 man tent very similar - nice tent the Oex. Thee were making me slavver there lad. Fried chicken one of my guilty pleasures. Tonight is home made pizza - using slightly too dry naan breads. I am on it - car bonnet. Little night in the tent me thinks tomorrow night.
Hello there Mark, good stuff buddy yeah no point carrying something way too heavy like that is there mate. Yeah they are a top tent for a equally top company.
Ahh cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the look of the food on today's menu haha.
Sounds good, homemade food is always the best. Have a top night out tonight pal.
Love those Kelly kettles. I get 15 hot chocolates out of one that size. A whole scout group. 😂😂ATB. Grays
Wow that's some chocolates right there mate, that's good to know as I run bushcraft groups throughout the year so will use it now I know. Thanks Grays mate 👍
@@AntSurviveTheNight we r taking the Cubs out for a night hike this Tuesday and we will take it with for the break in the dark woods. It’s an awesome experience for the kids. Have a good weekend. ATB. Grays
