Wouldn't catch me out camping in that weather 😂😂

I've used this tent in nasty southern patagonian weather and it's been a total bombshelter. I've used it in winter expeditions in Tierra del Fuego and it came with me to the southern patagonian icefield many times. Yes, it's heavy for the size, but for the price tag it has few to none things to envy with way more expensive tents.

might be nice to do a real compression test to see if the pull cord method is actually accurate..different saws have different weights, and pull cord mechanical advantages

Can I do this on my electric Makita?

I bought the big Agnes big 6 version w the headrest today (currently half price at REI)

Thanks for the review

Well done for running this test. Just the sort of thing I like. Would have been good to see the temps in Centigrade.

Anything below 30 degrees F for isobutane begins to degrade performance. Below about 15 degrees F at lower altitudes and what you demonstrated in this video is the result. You can preheat the fuel canister inside your jacket or sleeping bag then place it on an insulated surface such as a piece of closed cell foam. Next attach your Moulder strip (search for it and choose the Backpacking Light search result; no membership required to read it) and a neoprene cozy to insulate the canister some as it cools from use. Then light your stove. If you protect it from wind you should be able to operate a stove such as a Pocket Rocket Deluxe, that is regulated, down to a temperature close to zero degrees F. A better choice but possibly a little heavier one is a remote canister stove that is designed to run with an inverted canister. You will still want to insulate the canister and warm it just prior to lighting the stove in the upright position initially, then once it’s running and heating the preheat tube in the burner, then invert the canister. Then you’re in business. But really if you’re out in temperatures that are consistently below 15 degrees F then you really need a liquid (white) gas stove and larger pot in case the only way to get water is to melt snow.

A trangia burner or diy alcohol stove will boil faster, and be much lighter than the sterno cans. The rest of the kit is dope

I really liked mine and the versatile ventilation system. Bummed the are out of production now.

I have wo of them. They are great for the quietness and just getting something hot, not necessarily boiling, even though it is doable. I really do not pay attention on the time it takes to do it. I go to the woods to hunt or fish and time is irrelevant to me. I have also used an alcohol stove in mine. It does heat up my coffee water a little faster.

All fuels will take longer in cold weather. Denatured alcohol will burn hotter. Sterno has always been to keep items warm. No more. It works but there are more efficient methods even in cold weather. Nice vid. It is kind of cool because they updated the design to be/look more Jet Boil like.

Thanks for the review 😊

Excellent review bud

I am out shipping for a new tent. How is the ventilation of the tent? I am currently having trouble with extremes moisture.

Try a remote canister stove with a preheat tube over or next to the burner that can be used with the canister inverted which will feed liquid fuel first to the preheat area that can be used to around 0 deg F

Great review of a great lantern ! I got some AA to D adapters for mine. Much less weight, but still have the option of running Ds if you need super long runtime, or the weight for stability.

Used Sterno in the woods for years, no noise and a chance to enjoy my surroundings. Speed is overrated, set it up and get it going as you make/break camp, your water will be ready for you when you are done. It does work well when other stoves freeze up and fail. Relax, you are in the woods. For Larger pans, the cheap folding stove would be better.

Thank you for this great no frills review. It’s straight forward and to the point.

nice relaxing video, thanks for sharing, btw I got a "big anges" chair thanks to you

If you still have this stove, and don't like it, I'll gladly buy it! I'll even become a new sub 😂

Pretty spot on. I picked it up as a factory second and used it on a couple of trips to Alaska. This tent really shines in wet and damp weather. As a 1+ person tent, there was plenty of room for my gear, sleeping kit etc. Camping in Alaska is camping in a rainforest. It was bone dry on the inside during the whole trip, and that's what I needed.

I sure would have liked to hear that pickup start up and hear it run. You teased us and then let us down. Had one as a kid and drove it everywhere. Dale in Canada 🇨🇦

Yes, It's the best one on the market

I sure like that pick up truck!

Good Video!

This is about the best, and for that matter, only decent review I’ve seen on this tent. I have one, and agree with everything you’ve said. It is kind of an oddball in that it’s not the best choice for backpacking, being on the heavy side, and it’s too small for two people and too heavy for one. It was given to me as a Christmas present, so I’ve had to live with its little foibles. The stakes they supplied are pretty chintzy, and not enough of them. I’ve bought a bunch of MSR stakes to augment them. I also found it not overly intuitive to set up; you really need to have the directions handy. All in all, thank you for your review.

Great review, thanks for showing the setup and breakdown.

Those gelled fuel cans aren't designed to cook with. Their designed to keep food warm. If you want to cook with them, it needs more oxygen. Use a can opener to remove the entire top of the fuel can. Now your cooking.

Thanks I appreciate it good advice I just checked my saws now because I have used and abused them but always use good fuel and oil

Great chair! Awesome review. That chair is comfortable. New follower here. Crow✌️

I just bought this! I love this more than other brands because there are no plastic parts on the base!

People who cook on them usually put MSR Groundhog type stakes across the top of the stove and set the pan on top. I suspect that will really speed up your cooking.

Sterno is slow

Good video were can you purchase this item?

Have you ever tried the Skyline UL version of this? I'm debating between this and it as they are similar.

Can I give you a couple of tips; 1. Put some duct tape, three or four thicknesses, about 2"×1" on the part of the cup you drink from, to protect your lips from burning. 2. Ditch the lid and use three or four thicknesses of aluminium foil in lieu of it. 3. Make a Fancy Feast , or similar, stove to use as your heat source. Use methylated spirits, yellow 'heet' or some other form of denatured alchol as your fuel and you will still have a 'silent' cooking system. Good hunting and happy trails !

Cool video

I use a trangia burner. 4ish to 6ish minutes depending on conditions. I haven't used it below freezing. Still silent. I only boil water. If you want to cook, I would use something else.

this outfit is...wow.

Friend, how best to position the L nozzle on the carburetor?

defenetly a bang

Nice video! 👍👍👍✔👌

Not really a good test if bearings are spun and there is a crankcase leak due to side seals being weak. A saw can have a lot of compression however bottom components may be weak. Also if there is major signs of scoring or overheating metal slag can jam in between the piston and cylinder walls especially if a piston has holed and hot aluminum spatter got on the cylinder walls causing the piston to slightly jam and that can give faulty diagnosis doing it that way.

Proves zero. Pull the muffler

Good video 👍

Please try this method. It's more ergonomic. th-cam.com/video/DYGdvL9-P30/w-d-xo.html Cheers
