Big Agnes looks like a great tent! Have fun camping in it.🏕❤
I love it! I can't wait to go on adventures w/ it! Have a great day Sally!
Big Agnes tends to be expensive, but so far I have found their gear to be thoughtful and quality oriented. That looks like a great tent for a couple or small families.
Absolutely! So far we are enjoying it!
Nice looking tent, just ordered mine. Also looks like the footprint for a TNF trailhead 9…had ours for 16 years, great tent! Same problem with the rain fly, started to de-laminate, got very brittle…tent was still in great condition, and still have it.
Enjoy your tent ...!!!!
Thank you so much! It has been great :)
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the review. We just bought the Bunk House 8!
You're welcome! VERY NICE!!!!! Hope you enjoy it!!!!!
Very nice. I like that it does not have the flap over the zipper like our old tent had.
Thanks! We look forward to getting to use it 🏕😀
Awesome back yard.
Thank you so much!!! It is nice and quiet :)
Have a great day!
Thank you, very helpful!
You're welcome!
Very good ..nice tent ! 👍😇👏
Glad you like it!
Very nice tent!
Thanks! So excited to camp again 😁
Just bought this tent and installed it in the backyard to practice setting it up. We are novices at setting up a tent and wish Big Agnes had detailed video on how to set it up. They have written instructions in text only. I have questions about the stakes and how to
Best use these since there are no hooks on them. It was quite easy to set it up and will get easier with time as we become familiar with putting up a tent :-). The model shown in the video is different from what we got. We did get the 6 person tent but there no longer is a rug included for the entrance. Colors are slightly different as well.
Love!
Thank you!!!
I love Big Agnes, and have a lot of their gear. WE bought a Bunkhouse 4 to take on a 10 day river trip last May (Utah). I liked that I could mostly stand up in it, but didnt like that I had to do 18 stakes to set it up, and also thought the ventilation was lacking, got stuffy inside...
I want to buy this tent just for the ventilation. Why do you say the ventilation was lacking? Thx.
@@efremtubefpv hi, I say that because we spent 10 days in it in the Utah sun, highs in the 80s, and with the fly on there was no air passing thru the tent and it was stuffy inside. Obviously having the front door and vestibule open helps... I will sell you mine for $300 if u r interested...
How are you liking it with no windows? The vestibule entry enough window or too big lacking privacy? I have the first edition wawona 6 from The North Face, and I like a lot, I do like that your vestibule go to the ground! That’s the one thing about the wawona 6 that bothers me, so many bee’s get stuck from flying under. I’ll have to add fabric to the bottom.
The windows front and back under the vestibules provide good ventilation and can be zipped up part way. Privacy isn't much of an issue depending on neighbors. The front is tucked back far enough that it creates a narrow view into the interior from the outside but provides an ok view from inside the tent or the vestibule. The sides of the front vestibule can also be rolled back to give a wider view. We bought this model for its full fly because of the conditions we camp in. The skirts are great at preventing splash back. Most of the time it is paired with a 15x15 or 10x10 screen house. We also rarely have neighbors to the front or back. Thank you for your questions. Hope this helps.
Does it have loops on the inside for hanging tent lights and other small accessories?
Hello, Yes it does and it has shelving in the corners.
@@janeteric8594 Soon going to be camping in prairie land for a week. Need the loops to hang some cloth artwork. THANKS for the reply!
I would give this a 10 if it had a little higher headroom. The rest is really nice, and functional...
It is very spacious, but how's the ventilation with the fly all zipped up? Also, it seems there is no cross breeze other than front-to-back if the fly is put on and both ends are open. Am I correct? Thanks.
Ventilation is limited with the vestibules zipped down, some air does get pulled from the bottom sides as long as you have it staked out. Most of your airflow comes from the vestibules being open. This tent is more like a three and a half season tent featured for rougher weather. If ventilation is the main concern I would go with a tent that does not have a full fly.
How do you compare this w/ north face wawona 6, thanks
This tent has a full fly and more vertical walls which we have been enjoying. Thanks for checking out our video. Have a good day!
2 year update please? Thinking about getting this or the North Face Wawona 6.
HI!!!! So far so good! We looked at that before we got Big Anges and decided on this tent because the NF fly only goes half way down the body of the tent. The Big Agnes has a full rain fly and more vertical walls. Hope that helps.
Have a good 4th of July!
@@Bass_Fishin_Jake i got the wawona and it's great fwiw, also cheaper.
@@Bass_Fishin_Jake $250 is a great price.
thanks for the review. have you had it out in any strong winds?
We have been in the adk through some microbursts but not with this tent. The vertical walls and tall height definitely require the use of all of the guy-out points. Poles are sturdy and guy-outs are well placed so I am sure it will hold up in moderate wind (below tree line stuff). Thanks for checking out the video.
Nice, what is the name of the then , and please Shere link for to buy
How has this been in summer heat for you? I'm thinking when it's not raining part of the fly can just be flipped over (like the back so rhere is still the front vestibule. Would that be doable?
I just bought this tent for my son and I. I'm a widow and he's a small 6.5yr old boy. He's not gonna be able to help much with this part. I was watching your video and with you facing the tent, you inserted left to right, right to left, then center. Then anchor the center pole. Then anchor the corner poles. Did you do so because that makes the poles easier to get through the sleeves? Also, if you still have this tent would you consider asking your wife to demonstrate what it would look like for a single woman to put it up by herself? I know it's not ideal but I also know it's possible. It would be a big help if somebody who's familiar with the tent demonstrated.
HI!!!!! I find it easiest to insert all of the poles (doesn't matter direction) before inserting the ends into the clips. I hope this helps and happy camping!
@@janeteric8594 It does, thank you very much!
That's an awesome tent choice, mom. You're doing alright. 👍
Curious about ventilation. We live in southern California and temps can be in the 80's during the day and drop to the 40's at night. Having a tent that runs kind of hot is fine during the night, but if you're trying to catch a nap in the afternoon it'll be a furnace.
This tent has a full fly, mesh body and large mesh doors for good ventilation. If it gets that hot and privacy is not an issue you can pull the fly off and expose the mesh top of the tent body. The best way to deal with day-time heat is to pitch your tent in the shade and angle the doors in the direction of the wind.
Is there enough height to use stacked cots. Like the disco beds?
Shouldn't be an issue, I believe the disco bunks you usually see for camping are only 36" tall when stacked (add 2' for little clearance above the top bunk). I am 5'10'' and can walk to where the wall meets the roof. Thank you for checking out the video.
Hello! I would like to buy this tent for a family with 2 children. We use it for camping by the sea, so I need ventilation because it will be very hot. Can you tell me if it's ok from your experience? thx
Janet & Eric, how'd this hold up for you? I have a four person tent that our family has out grown but looking at something in the six person rated range. Would this tent sleep four adults and a few backpacks/gear no problem? Or would that be a stretch? I have two younger kids but with this price tag I would hope this tent last until they are in their teens. Thanks for making the video, and your help.
If you want a tent to sleep 4 adults and be comfortable then you might want to check out tents sold in the UK market. Check out the vango stargrove 600 tent. Around 600 dollars but way bigger than this tent in the video.
@@tommieboi707 Thanks for the help! The stargrove is a big boy!
I don't see any issue sleeping 4 adults and gear. The front vestibule is plenty big for 4 backpacks. Now if you each want to sleep on a queen size mattress....the answer is No. My experience is tents last based on use and care. If you have them pitched in the sun for a long time, UV kills them, if you pack them in a stuff sack wet and dirty again, NO GOOD. Keep them clean and dry when not in use, properly treat them with uv spray and don't store them in their stuff sack and they will last you for a long time.
@@janeteric8594 those are some good tips for preserving your tent! Thanks!
@@janeteric8594 No queen beds haha. Just camp pads. Our tent is rated for four people, but with two adult and two young kids we hardly have room for anything else. So just looking to have that extra space. Thanks for the storage tips! Been able to make our current one last for almost ten years with similar ideology!
Does it come with the poles for the awning, or do you have to buy those separately?
Hello! It does come with the poles as we had set it up. Super fast and easy, which is great! Thanks for stopping by our channel :)
Would this work for base camp mid October in Colorado
Should be ok below tree line unless you are looking at heavy ice and snow load. You will most likely get some condensation drips with the doors zipped and a number of people (but that is cold weather camping). Thanks for checking out our video.
Does it come in a smaller size?
Hello Gerard, thanks for stopping by our channel. It does come in the Bunk House 4. Have a great evening :)
any comment on rain protection?
Since we have had the tent, thankfully all is well when it rains.
Hey.. take that leaking North Face to a actual brick and mortar North Face store for a warranty return… last year they gave me a $350 credit for my 2002 Nebula that had the rubbery stuff on the fly started peeling off.
Hi Dash! Thank you so much for the heads up, I really appreciate it! Thanks for stopping by our video, have a great evening.
I have a two man North Face that’s been going strong for over 20 years with no peeling tearing ripping or anything. But of course I take care of my stuff and don’t put it away wet or get drunk and stumble int it.
How has it worked for you over the fall and winter? We're considering getting one of these for a trip to Yellowstone in early summer.
Hello Drew! Thanks for stopping by! We did not camp in it yet as we got it in the fall, but plan to use it very soon w/ the weather here in NY getting nicer. This is a 3 season tent so it should work great for your Yellowstone trip. With the full fly and good venting it will also work for sub alpine winter trips. Big wind and heavy snow loads above tree line will be a problem best solved by a 4 season tent.
@@janeteric8594 Thank you - for the reply and for the great video!
Do I see correctly, the massive fly has no vents?
Yes, you can fully unzip the front of the fly and even roll the entire vestibule back against the body of the tent, and the back, has a door and both side can be rolled back to the body of the tent. Hope this helps.
@@janeteric8594 Hi, thank you for the reply. I mean dedicated vents which are needed against condensation and for venting when it is raining so the fly must be closed.
@@ogt23 Hi! No, no vents on the fly, but the front door on the vestibule can be left open most of the time bc the vestibule is deep enough.
I just purchased a Big Agnes Bunk House 6, but your tent and setup appears to be for the "Big House" not the "Bunk House". My tent poles came as a main "double-hub" pole and a single separate cross-pole, but yours has independent poles which matches the "Big House" tent.
This tent is the bunk house, but the newest model (2023+) has redesigned poles, maybe that's why. New model also doesn't have the grey roof or welcome mat. The big house differs as the fly doesn't cover all of the sides, the inner tent is also partly weather proof, but single skin.
How hard would it be to hang something inside to divide it?
Corner to corner would be the best bet so you could use the loops in the corners. Thank you for checking out our video.
Why get this and not The North Face Wawona 6?
Hi! This tent offers a full fly and more vertical walls, which I like.
I am curious why you chose this if your Northface lasted 20 years and they might have given you a credit for it? 20 years is a pretty good advertisement in my book. I would be ecstatic with that tent.
*LOVELY, but too rich for my blood.*
Hey, we just ordered this, now older model, for about $420. It was a little steep for us too, but our kid is now in the Boy Scouts and they are telling us they camp once a month.
Not a fan of the color!! Why so bright!!!
