  • Its time to upgrade our tent, so i went with the Big Agnes Gold Camp UL3. I love everything about this tent except for the size. This 3-person tent is really only suited for 1-person. Maybe the 5-person version will be better suited for my use.
    Pyramid design with square-shaped base is fast-pitching, reliable, ultralight, and versatile
    Travel fast and light with the Gold Camp UL Tarp, or add the optional Mesh Inner (sold separately) when the situation calls for extra protection
    Structure may be supported with included adjustable center pole or suspended with exterior peak loop
    Ultralight polyester ripstop with water resistant polyurethane coating provides shelter you can count on
    Adjustable stake-out loops make set up simple and add versatility
    Door toggles on tent body for easy door stowage when you want to let the world in
    Reflective mid-body guy-out points increase structure visibility and stability
    Interior loop system for compatibility with Gold Camp UL Mesh Inner, gear lofts, mtnGLO lights, and other accessories - sold separately
    Single-door design with storm flap and low vent technology for optimal airflow
    One supported upper vent with mesh lining for heat and moisture management
    Footprint with reinforced center pole pocket- sold separately

    Thanks dude. I really do have to fit 3, so you saved me some time. Might try the GC5, which is on sale right now. ✌️

    thanks for the video. Too bad it didn't work for you. The truth is that in the case of this tent, the information provided by the manufacturer is a bit misleading.

      I’m glad you said that, I felt the same way. I was truly bummed it didn’t work for me

    Thanks for the honest review and good demonstration.
    I've been considering buying this for solo travels. For going solo this could be a good choice. Only for solo 😂

    I took the UL3 with me on bike rides this summer. It's perfect for me alone but it would be too small for two people (i need a little space extra). However, you can also lower the center bar, which increases the base area. With this tent i was able to save 2.5kg in weight compared to my beloved Nordisk Otra 2. With other weight-reduced equipment it ended up being 5kg (and of course a lot if money less in my bank account). If i were cycling as a couple i would choose the UL5. Sad but unfortunately I'm travelling alone. 🎉 All the best for you! 😊

      Appreciate the input. I was sad this didn't work, I really liked everything about the tent. It is a heft price tag indeed. I was really looking forward to having something i can stand in to change. I'm still eyeing the UL5 though

    Great video thanks for posting. I have a Helinox cot bed (standard length) and looking at this tent for just me plus bike kit as I like the standing height it gives you.
    Would the cot fit one side of the tent do you think? You mentioned there was one in your tent in the video but couldn’t quite make it out what then ends looked like against the interior mesh walls.

    • @OldFriendsandNewRoads
      @OldFriendsandNewRoads  7 місяців тому

      I think that one cot plus gear could work. I recommend drawing the tent outline to scale and seeing how your cot fits. One commenter mentioned that if you lower the center pole you can get more sq ft but that sort of ruins the standing up part.

    You had it setup really steep in your video. If you shortened up the center pole a notch or two and properly tensioned the tie-outs you could have gained a significant amount of floor space. I have spent about 25 nights in mine in the backcountry and it has performed really well. My wife and I both comfortably fit in ours with room for our packs inside if necessary.

    • @OldFriendsandNewRoads
      @OldFriendsandNewRoads  Місяць тому

      Yeah, that makes sense. The big reason i tried this tent out was having the ability to stand up in it. Really tired of getting dressed laying down ;) sacrificing the head space for the floor space didn't make sense, I'm better off with my half dome plus

    Great video! I'm considering the UL 5 for my wife and myself on our motorcycle trips. I want both our backpacking cots to fit in there and be able to stand up. Right now, I've got the 4-person Northwood II from REI but it's not as waterproof and it's not very tall. It's also quite a bit less expensive, of course.

    • @OldFriendsandNewRoads
      @OldFriendsandNewRoads  2 місяці тому +1

      I'd like to say that the UL 5 would work perfect. I would recommend setting up all your stuff in the yard and physically measuring it to compare to the dimensions of the tent prior to pulling the trigger. Also, be aware that the center pull wont go into the highest setting. When i did it, it had a crazy bow to it

    Bummer. Good luck with everything. I like the look of that style and definitely wanted that to work. Ive got the Blacktail 3 that would sleep 2. Doors on both sides. Like Travis's old tent minus the hotel part. Got it off of ebay from a retailer trying to dump it. I load it, sleeping bag and little tarp for ground in a tillamook bag and load it crossways on back of bike. Works great for 1 but would like something a little smaller when packed. Again good luck on a return or swap.

    • @OldFriendsandNewRoads
      @OldFriendsandNewRoads  8 місяців тому +1

      I wanted it to work to. No issues with the return. Still looking for the perfect tent!

    What size pads are you using? Would have been nice to see you try to fit your sleep systems inside.

    • @OldFriendsandNewRoads
      @OldFriendsandNewRoads  7 місяців тому

      At 3:25 you can see my pad, and my partners cot inside of the tent. These two items fit easily into my half dome 2+ but not at all in this tent

    Good honest review. Kinda seems like deceptive marketing a little. Hope the return works out.

    • @OldFriendsandNewRoads
      @OldFriendsandNewRoads  8 місяців тому +1

      My takeaway is that i should focus more on the actual dimensions and ignore any little graphic they provide. Return went well
