      @@SimonOutdoors if this is the same as the Onetigris, you can use a ridgeline instead of the poles. I really like the design. I've just got the Eurohike Ribble 2, just as a fun overnighter for me and my daughter. Lots more floor space then my Banshee but weighs twice as much so will use for car/garden camping.
      Similar design.

    I have some good memories Simon of training to be a para where we would spend a lot of time on concealment. The one thing we were instructed to do was go low to be stealthy. So, to be stealthy shelters need to be lower - kind of crawling space only. Good try though. Mark

    Nice video mate, it looks like it’s based on a baker style tent, I think the OneTigris does one similar too. Shame about the rip mate, you don’t have much luck with tents and rips, going by the last few you’ve got. I’m not a fan of camouflage, I used to be as a kid but unless you’re in the army then I think camo just looks a bit like you want to be, if you know what I mean!?

    Looks an interesting option , a bit of a cross between tent and tarp camping. I've got a camo basha and tarp and depending on time of year and how low you set it they can be almost invisible at a bit of a distance. One tigris do a very similar one to that and dd do to 👍

    That’s quite a nice design of tent 👍
    Reminds me a bit of my old Dutch Army tent, but much prefer the ventilation (bug net) and canopy design on your tent.
    By contrast the Dutch Army tent is probably heavier, but bomb proof.
    But was also more spacious (2man & Dutch are typically tall).
    Was also preferred DPM camo, and only ~£35 (Grade A used) from military surplus...

    • @SimonOutdoors
