I Love It! - Stanley adventure cook set 5 year review and mods
Camping gear has evolved amazingly in my time, so many bugs eliminated and conveniences incorporated. Just great design. I noted that you did this alone, but I could still pick the exact time, once it was standing, that my kids would have stopped helping, and dived inside the still incomplete project. Good watch...Stay rusty...lol
lolololo, no ....my girls would be flat out on the swings , no help at all
Great review & tutorial. Picked mine up today for €185 in Halfords. Took me about 30 minutes to set it up on my own 👍. Might come back at the end of summer with an update. Thanks again.
@niallcraig4087 excellent
not even a tent I had considered, and your video just convinced me to get it for myself! Thank you!
@@andreanefraser9322 my pleasure, a great tent
Great video, thanks. We've just bought a 2nd hand one 😊
excellent stuff, hope it helps
Thinking about purchasing this! Awesome video!
Quick question - can you zip the door from the inside so it can’t be unzipped and opened from the outside?
The window covers look like they can only be zipped closed from outside, does that mean somebody could come and upzip them and look inside?
yes they could I suppose
Very late on this video so hoping to get some help :) I’m bringing this tent for a festival in Cumbria so can be very unpredictable in the weather. Usually have quite heavy and rainy winds. How does it hold up in these conditions or is there anything to help? Managed to pick it up for £90!
It held up fine for me in rain and wind , try and pitch it somewhere sheltered, I'd say really strong winds would destroy it
@@RedBranchBushcraft it’ll be in a open field but with other campers around which I’d think would block the wind abit more. Just didn’t want to end up going to a festival and coming back to it either soaked or flying away 😂
@FayeMoore-is4dy lol, it's a sturdy tent , mine handled 50 mph no bother
Brilliant! Not used mine for 6 years so completely forgot how. Not a 2 man put-up job then? Thanks
Not at all, you can do it on your own
That view without the flysheet on is just breathtaking.. it almost looks like 8k screens it's crazy. Btw just ordered one in green cannot wait 😅 great review matey 👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Cheers buddy, a great tent
Great vid. We’ve just bought this one for our family of 5, although my teenage son will probably sleep in his own little 2 man as usual. Looked really easy to put up. Thanks for the demo.
No problem at all, thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for the video! Very helpful!! I’m thinking of buying one for my arts and crafts and travelling around…👍
It's a really cool tent , very bright and airy
Just bought this tent so needed some tips how to do it without the arguments looks easy thank you!
Best way to do it with no arguments is to do it yourself!! 😆😆 Great tent, I hope you enjoy it
Excellent work my friend, you may well just made my mind up to buy one! Thank you indeed. Laurie
My pleasure Laurie, happy camping
I wished that you would have shown exactly how the tent poles go in down on the floor, to see how to do it, and exactly which pegs to use.
I just used the pegs that came with it
Just bought it (festival version), it's freaking HUGE!
All my family of 4 gets a ton of space.
Nice one
Great video. I like the thorough explanation. I've owned this tent for two years and you showed me a couple new tricks. I really like this tent so much. Its big and simple to put up. My only knock is that during late season camping this tent is to well ventilated. There is no way to stop the wind completely from coming in. A couple of times I had the opening/door lined up with the prevailing winds and was freezing my butt off. I rotated the tent and that helped out. I would still recommend this tent for size, the easy and simple set up and the overall bomb-proof of the poles.
agreed, great comment, thanks
This looks like an amazing tent, I’m definitely gonna get one, thanks for the great video🥰
It's very cool
Brilliant video. We just bought this tent yesterday, this time just for a short trip next week to start with for now. So I thought I’d look it up, just so I know what I’m doing next week, and this is Just what I needed, Thanks!!!
No problem at all, I hope you have a great time. Thanks for the comment and for watching
Great video that has made up my mind about getting one of these tenrs. Shouldarrive in the next week hopefully. After having out tunnel tent up for most of 2020 and basically destroyed by a mix of UV and strong winds I was looking for something to setup as an outdoor room and something that we can take with us on holiday and I was interested in this model. Your hints about putting it up are going to be helpful I am sure. The channel looks like a good find for me so off to check your other videos out now :)
i left this up for nearly 18 months in the forest, i did feel stiff from the sun, in the end Bruno decided he wanted in one day and ripped a massive hole in it. still it had a good run, a great tent for the price but i think if i had another one i wouldn't leave it out for as long as i did
very informative and this is the next tent i want. You see most cut through the set up and edit it out so frustrating
Thank you Carl, it's a very good tent, I left it up in the forest after I made this video, I've had no issues at all
That must be so much fun to do when Bruno is around😂😂😂😂😂. Nice big tent, lots of fun for the family
lol, soon after this bruno destroyed the tent, went straight through it after some left over food
@@RedBranchBushcraft oh no🤣🤣🤣 he's such a character. Leaning towards the mischievous. Bless him 👍 cracking vid. We are looking for a big canvas tent for our wild glamping site. Ten if us from work lease a patch of wood surrounding a stables which we are making our little piece of heaven
check out my bison tipi vids cracking tent, or have a look at anchor supplies 10 man arctic tent
Genius having the tent bag as a suitcase style as even when you know you'll never fold it like the factory you always have to close your partner's suitcase that goes against physics.
Lol, it's handy enough to put away
I am wondering to buy either this or octagon 8 blackout. my concern is that blackout can get super hot in the summer but on the other hand, getting woken up with the sunrise also doesn't sound great. is this tent getting super bright or does the walls actually cover from the sunlight a bit?
Super bright, which is nice during the day, but not at 4 am
Thank you for this video. I had some friends and all of us scratching our heads unable to figure it out quickly. Great to know a single person can set it up. I'm taking mine to my yard to try!!
Excellent stuff, a great tent
@@RedBranchBushcraft Just want to thank you again. I set mine up, alone, first try 45 minutes. Using a rope to throw over to pull up the rain cover was super helpful, although the first time I had the cover upside down. Took about a half hour longer to get it back into the bag. Thanks to your video I will soon be a pro!
@hairlesscactus fantastic stuff, well done, look after it and it will last you years
Thanks for this vid just bought one for first family trip and this video massively helped in prep for setting up 👌🏽
Glad I could help
Bored!!!!
Cheers buddy
I have same tent (festival version) unfortunately I find I get a lot of rain coming in around the secondary door area. It has rained constantly for the past 24 hours though. All other areas are dry. Just looks like it's coming through that lower panel, below the plastic window. Would a spray help?.
How long have you had it? Spray would help but if it's new I'd contact Coleman
Nice tent but your fucked if it gets in a windy storm the thing is like a fucking parachute.
It stood up to plenty of wind
Try packing it on your back for 4 days,😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣, then tell us what you think!
Lolololo, imagine!!
Your name is rusty 🤔I thought you were Wooly 😱sorry I’ve got the wrong channel and stop hitting the camera with your pole 🤣😂😅love the tent great fun for the Family but no Sectioning side the tent I see . So it open plan I like my privacy . Thank you rusty or what ever you like to be called 😀
Lol, no there is a curtain that goes down the middle for the more bashful campers out there
What do you think, could it handle -10 / -20 degrees celsius weathers if I craft a chimney bushing in the ceiling for a hot stove?
Mmmnnn.. I don't know, it's quite lite weight
Hi there! Did the tent come with a room divider?
Wooly! I just realized this is your other channel! Brilliant!
Cool, have a look around, ask any questions you like , it's all about knowledge sharing
Just bought his tent am really excitrd about using it, had the Quebec base 4.1 pop up great tent but cramped to stand in. This looks class.
It is Class
Cool vid. Just curious…it appears you have to close the tent up from the outside. If so, and we’re camping together, you would be the one going out in the pouring rain in the middle of the night to do so 😂.
Lol, yes
Nice tent but about triple the price in only 4 Years. (230 € in 2019 and 525 € in 2023) is too much. Shame on the provider.
I know!! Story of everything
Wow
I think I paid 120 for mine
It’s currently around £220 in the UK.
@@mimijones1826could you send me a link please ?
Thanks for the video 👍 just bought this tent and booked our 1st camping trip as a family in a few weeks. Can watch this video again if we get stuck putting it up 😂
Lol, feel free to watch it 1000 times if you need to, enjoy your camp
Only one thing missing here, guy... Subtitles for the birdsong...
lol, god knows what profanities they would be saying
Thank you so much for this video 😊
@@curtisowen my pleasure, I hope it helps
Just bought one for £219 (about €256). There’s a huge sale on just now. This video sold it to me. Absolutely spot on review.
I only read one negative about this tent and it was someone saying that a velcro section had come loose but they fixed it.
Apart from that I’m buzzing to try it out this weekend. It looks like luxurious camping 😊 👍🏻
It's a great tent, I completely abused it and it stood up to it all, it's not dog proof though, my German pointer ripped a big hole in mine!!
@@RedBranchBushcraft no dogs so I’ll be fine. Keep pumping out great reviews 👍🏻
Lol, cheers buddy
Just Bought mine from Robert Dyas....£160
@@matthewroyan2449 enjoy. You got a bargain there. FYI, it’s like a circus tent 🎪 but is awesome 🤩
Great review. Youve certainly sold it to me. Thanks.
My pleasure
Would did you buy another octagon 98 tent? I know your dog killed the blue one...lol
If I hadn't bought a canvas teepee I would have got another one. It's a pity they didn't make a hot tent version
Now, need a video of it all being packed up and placed back into that small container.
lolololo
This video helps me put my tent up every yr. love this video.great tent. Happy times.
I'm so happy I could help Suzy
Had anyone used a paraffin type heater in a tent like this? Send much cheaper than gas
I've never used one
£180 on sports direct or £120 with afrazer card
Wow , some prices
From where do we insert the electric cable to the inside to use electricity for charging?
I've never used it with electric, but I'd say you have to go through a door
Love this tent but it’s a nightmare to set up and take down in slight wind
Can be hard
We’re heading off camping today just bought this tent thanks for the Informative video
No problem at all, thanks for the comment, hope you have a great time camping
Thank you for this video, I have just bought one of these tents and this has been a great help to me as I am likely to be putting up alone.
Excellent, a great tent , look after it and it will last for years
Love from Jammu Kashmir India 🤘🎁❤️
Greetings from Ireland
Great video.. going to get one . Seems very practical size for us . I would have to set up alone as my boys feet would hit the site and run off making friends and playing footie in no time. The outer cover looks like it would be tricky on a windy day . We will see lol . Thanks for a great demo
No problem, great tent
Got one today just looking for tutorials on how to put it up and this has been the best one
I'm glad I could help
@@RedBranchBushcraft quick question about the inside is quite spacious because from the outside it doesn't seem to take up as much room as thought maybe it's the angle though
@@JaxonBeckett it's very big
@@RedBranchBushcraft thank you
@@RedBranchBushcraft have you any recommendations for a heater for the t as the missus likes to be toasty when camping we previously had a van to sleep in so heat is a necessity for herself 😂
I like the door..no zipping ..just a swing door..great
it has a zip to but you dont have to so it up
Thank you - just bought one of these so this is really helpful. Probably should have watched it first lol
Lol, my pleasure, it's a great tent, easy enough to put up
Thank you, looks like just what I need great video.
Glad I could help
Hi does this tent have a divider? Or everyone has to sleep in one place?
It has a removable divider
Great review. Well done
Thank you
Brilliant thanks so much.. I'm now definitely going to get this tent.
Hope you enjoy it!
Such a massive help thanks so much
My pleasure
Brilliant! Best video out there on how to set up this tent. I've bought this one but not had the chance to set it up yet but your video really explains it very well so for me... Monkey see... Monkey do.... I'm sure I'll have no problems pitching it now. Cheers 👍
Lol, thanks man lovely comment, it's easy enough to put up once you start
Using this tent in 2 weeks. Cant wait. One negative for me is that it doesn't have a small zip opening to allow cables from a solar panel Etc to run into the tent. Something that other coleman tents have. Great video though.
thanks for the lovely comment, its a great tent, i think coleman could make a great hot tent out of the shape and pole design, just beef it up a bit
@@RedBranchBushcraft They do a blackout version which is more £££ - it looks beefier
@@antking8847 i saw that, black out tents are great if you want a lie in but with my kids there is no chance of that
Great to see u reviewing tents now. Love everything about this channel
Thanks man
Looks a good tent, I'm looking for a tent with high sides, what's it like in wind and rain?
It was a great strong tent , stood up to a lot of wind and rain
@@RedBranchBushcraft might bite the bullet and buy one this week, currently £200
That's a great price
Nice
Nicce
Great review my friend... I wish I had one.. but its the price that puts me off..
thanks man
£240 brand new off amazon, 250 at go outdoors if in the UK! I have one and they are brilliant but they do get cold at night! Iam in Scotland though so maybe that's why so cold🤣👍
I think I paid about 120 for mine , great tent, but not German shorthaired pointer proof!! My dog ripped a massive hole in it
Thanks mate, we needed this video
Glad I could help buddy
Could you fit a double and a single air bed inside?
A double with plenty of room to spare
@@RedBranchBushcraft thank you!!!
Fantastic video. Bought one and it is class!
Thanks very much, your right it's a Class Tent
So you can’t open the windows from the inside for ventilation?
you dont need to , it has massive mesh panels/windows al round
Great video; thank you. What’s stopping somebody unzipping the outer cover and looking through the mesh as you’re sleeping, etc?
@@GaryGeraldJohnston nothing, unless you lock the zips together, but it's a tent ? You can just unzip all tents
@@RedBranchBushcraft Yes, good point 👍 I think I was just viewing this as a lot quicker for would-be intruders to see inside, compared with other tents - and the small one I currently have. However, I’m still going to buy one though, as I like it and your step-by-step video to help with the set-up is great. Thanks again.
@@GaryGeraldJohnston thats a great comment, thanks , i see what you mean now, ye sit would be easier
Great video brother 🤙
Thanks very much, it's a great tent
Do these get draughty? or too hot in direct sun?
No for the draughts but anything I think will get too hot if left in direct sunlight
@@RedBranchBushcraft Thanks, seen some people say these get cold and draughty because of the gap by the door that goes between the flysheet and mesh, and because the fly sheet doesnt go all the way to the ground. But im guessing but these people that said that arent as hardy as us and probably the type that complain about everything lol
Might be lol
I can't believe how fast he can move
me or the dog?
You it flew up, good job 👏
@@shaunmoran2886 cheers, a great tent but not suitable for leaving up long term in the forest i found , it went a bit brittle, then my dog ripped a massive hole in the door area!
I have the orange one which we use in the summer as a party tent for the kids to have camping parties in. Fill it with bean bags n sleeping bags with loads of fairy lights. They always have a great time!
Great tent until Bruno wrecked it
Awseome video. I have this tent and will be using it in the isle of wight in July. So much room inside
A great tent, you will love it
Just got one for 219 quid I'm so excited!!!
Wow , great deal
