I had this tent . It is a great tent for the money. I live in Yuma Arizona and I live in it for 6 months in the mountains, it really took a beating but took it and asked for more .. I would recommend this tent to anyone on a budget or just to keep in the truck for when shtf type it's a great tent and yes 3 queen size air mattresses will fit plus some gear
I’m using this tent tomorrow for the first time but the only person I’ll have with me for set up is my 6-year-old daughter. Our friends aren’t coming until the next day. I was nervous about putting this tent up but your video helped my confidence so much! I’m going to bring a few tarps and lay them out underneath. Thanks again, this was awesome!
Camping with my husband and my children and my kid brother in PA this weekend, i was worried about the set up but this helped me so much. Thank you for taking your time to make this video
I recently got this tent. I put two queen air mattresses in it. The screened porch comes in handy as i can still cook my breakfast on my big burner in the rain. I had a lantern and a strong fan and it was great. Its seriously like being in your bedroom. ..im going to spray some wd40 on it soon.
It does look like a nice tent. The only observation I would make is during the sped up parts you need the theme from Benny Hill playing. But, that's just my twisted mind. Great video.
Great video! This tent was gifted to me as a birthday present and in a few weaks I'm about to use it for the first time and this video helped me a lot. Greetings from Monterrey, México!
I appreciate the in - depth way you explain everything and show the inside of this tent. I just got one today, and, like to go camping in my back yard. Am definitely going to be waterproofing it further before I do camp out in it. Am wondering if you know how long I should let it stay up for because I like to camp a couple of nights, and, go back inside my house for a few nights. Then, I will return to the tent for a couple of nights/days. Am wondering about the time because I know how the sun can cause the fabric to break down over time. Is there any way to help delay that from happening ? I appreciate your advice.
@@InTheFieldWithSarge Wonderful idea. 😉 But, do I need to necessarily get a "UV protection" tarp to use for that purpose ? Thank you for answering my other question so quickly. 👍
I had this thing go through a wicked storm at port crescent state park(MI). We had a heavy downpour and 50+mph winds. And only a few drops got in, It’s a great tent for $100. The only thing it needs is a floor vent for airflow, but its not that bad honestly.
@@hshalom9113 ask someone in construction to save some left over tyvek and cut some out to the floor of your tent. They throw away tons of the stuff and it works great as a footprint
I have this tent... it is very nice.... HOWEVER.... 1/3 of the fiberglass poles either cracked or snapped after only two years of use. Replacements fiberglass poles cost nearly half the price of the tent itself! I upgraded to a telescoping metal pole cabin style tent.
Great video sarge, to be honest it's a great tent. In UK, that would be very expensive for one that size. Looks big enough for me , you, Steve and Nigel to have a beer or two in ,whilst we leave the ladies to cooking the food lol.
Your very welcome Jeffrey I hope you and your family enjoy it. 1 tip for you- when you stake out the tent dont stake it too tight. If you do you'll have trouble zipping and unzipping the door.
Hey, Sarge! Love the video and the tent. We used it this past weekend for a Cub Scout outing. Question: what kinda fan and lights are you using?? Thanks!
Ozark trail has come out with a rechargable light, bug zapper, and fan combo, that I've recently converted to. I'll show it on my next video coming soon! Thank you for all that you do and keep scouting!
That's totally up to you bud. Your more then welcome to post anything you like or dislike about the tent here. Any input positive or negative makes the review so much better
Is there any possible way for insects to get in? My Bf freaks out about them and Id love to take him camping but uh... Yeah he wont go unless the tent is bug proof
It's a sturdy tent with screen windows and doors. Of course nothing is 100% bug proof but this tent is close. I hope you bf overcomes his fears and finds a way to get out there. He's missing alot
You can order replacement parts directly from ozark trail or Walmart. Depending on the break they do also make tent pole repair kits as well you might want to try
Great question thank you Amy. I hope you have a big enough area to set it up lol. I don't have any actual experience setting this tent up inside a house but I think its doable. if the house is still under construction you might get away with tacking it to the floor. It should be able to free stand once all the poles are in place without any issues and the tie downs won't be needed as theirs no wind. Let me know how it works out im interested
Thanks for your input. I water proofed and seam sealed mine in preparation for the dam to break in a good rain,, to include the rain fly and it's holding up nicely so far
@@InTheFieldWithSarge It's ok. ? Could the port be used to run the cable from a solar panel to the power bank? I'm a female disabled vet and saw some others put it up (without staking) by themselves. 😨😱 Just trying to figure out how i can do it by myself. Guess it'll take practice. Hopefully no one will have a camera goin! LOL Thanks!

Thank you so much for your input Craig.
What size tarp would you recommend to put under?
How did it do in wind? I use spike nail & was thinking maybe use the ground screws.
20x10
It is waterproof
The inside of the tent is open on the bottom?

Thanks for sharing. The price went up to 120$ on Amazon. I’m buying one ☝️
I bet in the winter they will be back in sale
Loved the video it showed me a lot. Disabled veteran myself taking the family camping
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for your service and thank you for all that you do
We tried this tent th8s weekend and the only thing I didn't like is that it should have a floor for the screenporch
Thank you so much for this!!! I was just about to buy this tent and so happy to see this review and insights!!!
Enjoy Sarah 😀

What I do is hang a tarp over the top it protects the fabric and adds another layer of waterproofing
@@InTheFieldWithSarge Wonderful idea. 😉 But, do I need to necessarily get a "UV protection" tarp to use for that purpose ? Thank you for answering my other question so quickly. 👍
I would if your planning on it being up for a long period
@@InTheFieldWithSarge Will do that. I do appreciate your help and advice. 👍

It'll fit all of us
Great video. I’m sold. Gonna go get it. 👍

Great video Sarge . just bought one going camping for the first time . Family of 6 😁
Nice! Enjoy its a great family tent. Have fun out there and let us know how it was!
$129.00 in stock at Walmart. I'm getting this!
Is it any good
Great video! You made it look too easy. I didn’t know where to start before I found this video!
Thanks Brennan it's not a bad tent. I think I put that up when it was 90f outside too lol
Thanks for doing this review. Just ordered this tent online after watching your video and one other.

Thanks for the video. This helped me make up my mind to buy this tent.
Let us know how it fairs with your adventures.
Looks cool. Would love to see a bathtub floor and an enclosed screen porch like the Coleman Evanston.
I just bought one can't wait to use it
I hope you enjoy it. Let us know how it goes.
@@InTheFieldWithSarge going camping this weekend will do should I video log it ?
That's totally up to you bud. Your more then welcome to post anything you like or dislike about the tent here. Any input positive or negative makes the review so much better
That looks a good quality affordable tent 👍
Awesome video thank you for your time in setting up the tent and showing us how great it is!
Your very welcome I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
@@InTheFieldWithSarge😊❤
We just set ours up. Did you find that the tent was pretty tight? Ours seems tight around the zipper door.
Yes I found the doors to be tight and the rainfly too when you stake it tight. Try staking the tent looser and adjusting after it's up
@@InTheFieldWithSarge thanks. It seems to be a really great fit for me and the family but I was just a little worried that it was too tight.
Thank you I’m going camping Friday and I bought the same one
Enjoy!!
this was so helpful, thank you for sharing!!!

You can order replacement parts directly from ozark trail or Walmart. Depending on the break they do also make tent pole repair kits as well you might want to try
Thank you for this review!
Thank you Star Ann 🙂
What type of waterproofing I have this tent and I'm going camping for 2 months?
In IA in April......
I used camp seal on mine and seam sealer on the stitching on both rain fly and tent
@@InTheFieldWithSarge did you add an extra tarp at all over the top?
I had an extra tarp as a back up but never needed it
@@InTheFieldWithSarge ok ty so much for responding so quickly I greatly appreciate it
Yeah I want one of those I’m Buy one Thanks for the review and have bless day
Its a great tent treat/rub the zippers with a piece of wax or soap, it will make them alot better
@@InTheFieldWithSarge got it
Great video. Thank you!.
Wow fantastic video !! MARIO magnet fishing from Poland ;-)))
Thank you my friend
This is great! Any tips for setting this up inside the house?

I just bought this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Let us know what you think
I sure will, we will pitch it tomorrow night in the back yard
@@tiffanyfair2487 enjoy!
Jus bought this…we’re expecting rain…any advice??
Camp dry your rainfly and when you stake out the tent do it loose. Thay way your rainfly will cover easier
How did it do in the rain? About to use it next week, probably will see some rain here as well
Reviews do seem to gain the most views.
Been seeing many reviews on this tent that it's not really waterproof or resistant after 30 minutes of rain it starts to leak
Thanks for your input. I water proofed and seam sealed mine in preparation for the dam to break in a good rain,, to include the rain fly and it's holding up nicely so far
How did u water proofed
@@TrixyCA there is spray cans that waterproof stuff at home Depot
But they are not recommend for tents the stuff in the cans make the tent smell weird and stiffen up so it's harder to pack
@bobbythompson6017 good to know thanks for the info. What would you recommend?
How big is the tent without the front porch for a floor tarp?
I believe its 17 by 13 feet
Is it waterproof ?
It is waterproof but as with all tents I'd waterproof it too
Tell me this tent Waterproof or not???
It is! 🙂 enjoy 😉
@@InTheFieldWithSarge tell me bro
I did
Coleman has some affordable tents as well.
I have some Coleman gear lined up for review coming soon
Where's ET at LOL 😂
Why did you have to fast foward? 😖
The port could be used to connect a solar panel to the power bank?
I'm sorry we fast forwarded through some sections to reduce the length. Feel free to ask questions and yes to answer yours it could 😀
@@InTheFieldWithSarge It's ok. ? Could the port be used to run the cable from a solar panel to the power bank?
I'm a female disabled vet and saw some others put it up (without staking) by themselves. 😨😱
Just trying to figure out how i can do it by myself. Guess it'll take practice. Hopefully no one will have a camera goin! LOL
Thanks!
Absolutely
I'm a disabled vet myself I totally understand and I think you can do it without staking it'll just take practice.
And please film it or let me know what hurdles you had to navigate and I'll try to help anyway I can
$114 today on roll back
Ever seen Jurassic Park?
"That is one giant pile of shit".
Lol how so?
@@InTheFieldWithSarge Ozark Trail. 'Nuff said.
This tent looks good but Terrible for camping especially in moderate rain & wind I wouldn't buy this tent again
This don't help me what sk ever
I'm sorry how can I help?
Nerd
I'm on verryyy Rocky ground so it did not want to behave. And let's just say if there is a good storm it is NOT waterproof
I’ve had it in a light rainstorm, it held up fine for being such a behemoth, think it was mostly condensation anyways.
