- Hi all, in this video we look at a budget budget tent for summer woodland camping, I paid for this out my own pocket as I liked the look of it, I also go on a bit of a rant which I was going to cut put, but I've left it in as I feel strongly about it, although this is just my own personal opinion.

That looks like a handy bit of kit for an impromptu overnighter,
Swap out the guy ropes for some (army) jungle knots and a few decent pegs and for fair weather, you have a decent shelter that could be set up in a couple of minutes.
Cheaper and a bit more protection than a tarp too
👍
Totally agree Ivan, and thanks for the comment really appreciate it 👍 😀
You are looking very healthy in these vids, hope you're feeling better?
I am feeling better, still struggle with my breathing but getting there 👍
@@Mickoutdoors you look almost "rosey" today, and your eyes are brighter
I have a request... Break out the landing light jacket.... You keep wearing the blue one, I'm partial to the neon yellow one... Lol
I'll wear it the next one, just for you 🤣🤣
@@Mickoutdoors love it, but be safe ... Wear sunglasses, lol!
Might be a great idea to get some hair bobbles for the tie outs .might get one for my summer camp meet at end of May with some youtubers .either that or it's my phoxx 2v2 .or tarp and mozzie net , great review brother. God bless you and your family and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊 .Lee
Yes Lee great idea 👍 be ideal for a summer camp 🏕 thanks for taking the time to comment really appreciate it 👍 😀
Great little tent for the price and of course with its limits. As for mountain rescue 100 per cent agree with you. The only time I'm going to go up a mountain and need mountain rescue is if I get caught out in extreme weather that was not stated by Met Weather. Or fall ill. Mountain rescue have more important things to do than rescue idiotic people with terrible decision making attributes risking their lives for a blooming video. Added to that if you see me up on a Mountain knowing bad weather forecast it will be me on Mount Everest added via green screen lol
Cheers Steve, like I said I used to work with MR and they do have a few choice names for people who ignore all the warnings ⚠️ fair enough being caught out, but to do it deliberately means they should be billed the 50 grand it's cost to rescue them if they get into trouble 👌👍
EWWW I like that one Mick... does it come in Pink?... asking for a friend!😂
Lol sadly not 🤣♥️ xx
I bought one of the original French army tents that this is based on. Paid 40 quid for it about ten or twelve years ago.
I had to seam seal it, but not had a leak since. Mine has doors at both ends, and flaps to cover the side vents if it gets a bit too breezy. Also small mesh vents in the apex of the doors, but no full mesh door option. It's a solid little tent.
This looks like a fair copy, though probably not squaddie proof. (What is?)
Yeh, it's definitely a copy of the French army tents, I just don't understand why they didn't move the grommets a inch further out then they would be on the outside of the tent and not the inner 🤷♂️ anyway thanks for taking the time to comment really appreciate it 😀 👍
@@Mickoutdoors Mine doesn't have any grommets, the poles have a plastic cone that fits in the apex. On the outside...
I made myself a promise when I got my new kit, no more hands and knees only shelter... Been there, done that.... I'm 50 and I'm allowed to splurge.
Buy and use that arthritis assist pruner, cut your wood equal lengths and quickly.
Get a WALK IN tent, so you can stretch out and change standing up.
Get and use that little cot, WITH AN AIR MATTRESS IF YOU WANT.
BUY A FLASHLIGHT THAT ONLY TURNS ON AND OFF... Who REALLY needs a multi flash or s.o.s. mode?
Just go out and have fun, with YOUR choice of gear, lol.
Very true David 👍 👌
@@Mickoutdoors I suppose I should come clean... I, in fact, DID NOT check the local weather before going on my adventure to northern California. Being used to traveling WITH all my kit in my big rig, weather was never an issue.
Yes, it was bad... Yes, trees fell all night around me on my second night.
Yes, a skunk took advantage of my hammock and tarp set up to shelter from the storm.
YES, I VISITED THE ER TWICE.....
BUT
At no point was I in serious danger, and my son came to my rescue. I completely agree with being properly prepared AND informed of any upcoming weather issues, even IF I didn't practice what we both preach, lol. I came out missing some gear left behind because of the ER visit, and have shopped accordingly, for my next ill advised adventure( but I DID finally get to ride over 750 miles on my first train ride, the California Zephyr)
Sound advice . ..
@@DavidDunn-breakinbadretrddad your a legend 👏 🙌 the skunk made me laugh 🤣🤣
@@Mickoutdoors lol, that lil bastard stayed under me for HOURS just scratching at my lil campfire and I think he might have moved my belt knife, because when my hammock disappeared under me and reappeared above, I landed RIGHT where I left my blade, but it was closer to the tree.... I guess I owe him one lol
Wonderful to see you as always. I like the tent and think I will buy one for my sisters grandsons. I can surprise them with it when weather gets alot warmer and have a camping sleepover in my garden. My sisters staffy Arch can come too, my three most favourite people in my world ❤. Thank you so much for the video it's given me something to be excited and look forward too. Completely agree with you about selfish arses who camp in wild weather who may have to be rescued putting other people at risk. Hope you're all OK. Sorry for going on. Take care and kisses for Ollie xx
Don't you ever apologise I love you "going on" the kids will love it Helen, if possible can you let John Bull know you bought it off the back of my video ? No probs if you can't though, we love staffies us don't we lol xx
I will definitely let John Bull know I chose it from watching your video. Thanks again xx
@@user-kc6df5rr7f you star 🌟 🤩 xx
Those shorter lines are probably used to take the slack off the center sides, make it more comfy inside
Can't see anywhere to attach them though David and they're only about 10 inches long so would never reach the ground from there, I've a feeling they could be for the outer door zips, to pull it out, but that's just a guess 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Hi Mick - How are you mate?
Nice looking summer tent. Reminds me off me youf camping in cheapy tents down in the west country. I do like the mesh at ground level though.
Nothing like a good rant mate lol. I just think guys are doing all these extreme weather camps just to get the viewing figures up on their channels. However, I do agree with you re mountain rescue and emergency services. They have enough on their plates already without some numpty giving it the big I am.
Have a good weekend buddy. Atb Saxon
Cheers buddy, I've nothing against people testing their gear or themselves, just not at the expense of possibly putting other people's lives in jeopardy such as MR and SAR, I seen one youtuber a while back, deliberately take a cheap fibre glassed poled tent up on to a mountain in the lakes during storm Agnus just to test his and the tents limits !! Absolutely crazy and the sad thing in my eyes was that his subscribers were all praising him for doing it in the comments, I unsubbed can't be doing with egotistical half witts like that.
Ohhh have you tried your bivvy out in anger yet ? Maybe up a mountain during storm Katherine 🤔 🤣🤣
@@Mickoutdoors I haven't because I went up Snowdonia in just my undies and slippers during a really, really, really big storm. I used my socks to test the limits of them and I survived. Hwar!
@@Mickoutdoors Yeah completely agree mate. Like you I unsub as well when it gets a bit too much.
@@saxoncrow2500 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 quality Kev 👌 👏
Another great review Mick
Thanks Michael really appreciate your continued support 👍
did u say your in the ripon area, its were i am.
Just up the road A19 in Teesside Matt 👍
@@Mickoutdoors ahhh cool. about 30 miles. I normally do abit of motorcycle camping. meeting up with a youtuber john pawson. near pickering. in may. nice to get out time to time.
@mattslife7874 nice one Matt, I follow a chap on UA-cam that goes camping all over on his motorbike, great channel, can't think of the channels exact name but probably something like the biking camper, wouldn't surprise me if you already follow him 😉
Duh just reread your comment, it's probably your mate then lol
Ah went to school near Thirsk 🤘
All these mountain rescue group have only been formed in the last century,,,, most around 1950s............ before that .... (for thousands of years) the very ppl ur ranting about would have been the brave ppl who voluteered to wander out in bad weather to look for ppls loved ones....
I agree, but times change people become more educated, warnings are now put in place to try to stop and avoid the loss of life.
