So I picked up a new brolly system, I was wanting something that I could comfortably turn from day shelter into a bivvy for solo overnight missions, this winter looks to be one where I will be solo overnight fishing so there isn’t any need to load the van with spare bedchairs and the massive JRC Quad XXL bivvy. My Old day shelter brolly the JRC STI 2 Rib Brolly is showing its age, don’t get me wrong it is a great shelter when I was using a smaller chair that sat lower down to the ground I could hunker down inside it and let the worst of the winter storms pass me by but with a new chair putting me higher up meant that my head was touching the skin of the brolly and then with one of the Ribs smashing last winter I figured lets look around for something else.
I settled on the Trakker Tempest 100T Brolly, things I liked off the bat was how easy it was to put up and that even with the chair I have I had bags of headroom inside it. I zipped on the front panel and put the storm pole in to see what it would look like as a overnight brolly/bivvy I didn’t put the ground sheet in or the overwrap on it mostly because I was being a bit lazy but initial thoughts are positive, even if the mini condoms on the pegs made me chuckle a bit.
Only time will tell if it is up to the job, lets see what a winters Pike fishing does to it.

Great video. Brutally honest review so thank you for that. Not tried mine in earnest yet - next week looking good tho. Much appreciate your review. All the best. Chris.
Love the banter keep it up.
This looks like a piece I need for my deer hunt.
I've one of those pop up hide things for the deer shooting amego over here in the UK the deer stalks are a day session your not usually camping out.
A few of my shoots there's a permanent hide that's been built but they get used more so to get out the wind and rain for a few hours.
Yet another great review tc big man
Hey amego thanks for the comment glad you enjoyed the video, fingers crossed that it's a good season this winter.
Good looking job I went the fox one myself love it
I had a look at the Fox one but didn't go with it in the end duno why I just liked the trakker one a bit better
Just ordered the standard 100 but great review mate definitely subbed for the honesty 👍
Cheer Mark let's see if a winters Pike Fishing can break it hahahaha just kidding I bloody hope it doesn't break it cost enough I'd be crying if it went to poop
Great review that mate, just subbed
So do the storm poles come with the infill if you buy from a reputable company say Angling Direct? Great video uve just subscribed 🎉
Hey amego thanks for the sub,
Trakker aqua and cygnet strom poles apparently are all made in the same factory so either one of these brands will fit the brolly system I got this from total fishing off ebay they sent me the cygnet ones they work great I've had no issues.
Great bit of kit bud
Cheers buddy ill see if it lasts the winter I hope it does so far I'm impressed with it.
@@DavidScobie they are excellent ive got the standard height one with the social cap extension etc they are excellent mate tightlines scobes cheers
How is the bivvy holding up? are you able to get your chair in there with the bed?
Hi scobie fella nice review and a nice bivvy I always buy from total fishing tackle never had a bit of trouble with them I'll day this now and my next order will dissappear 🎣👊💯
It was just some little things that left a sour taste amego like then billing me for postage when they originally said it was free
@@DavidScobie ok fella 🎣👊💯
Hi there Dave,that was a great review,I’ve had stuff from total fishing had no problem ,there only 30 mins from me,by the way they started life working from a shipping container they rented a space from birds green fishery. How does wellingtons bearing up.😂😂all the best.
.
Hey Robert I'm going to do a long term review video of the wellies at the end of this year's Pike fishing so far there's no complaints amego.
But let's see if another winter beats them hahaha
Hi Dave
Nice simple shelter, easy put up and seems very stable, always use the second skin when using the shelter regardless of the weather, it assists with stability.
You can get large equipment bags from Preston, Tubertini, matrix a few companies do large bags, prices vary but their websites will give you that
Great video though
Thanks for sharing
Take care, stay safe, regards to the ladies and keep it lit 👍 my friend.
The real test will be to see how it stands up to Northern Irish winter storms.
Plenty room in it for 2 chairs for a day session your more than welcome amego should you feel the urge to get out after Pike.
@@DavidScobie thanks Dave, I probably will give it a go at some stage.
Love your attitude 😂
Thanks Duncan
all hail rthe mighty slayer what a band
A man with musical taste
@@DavidScobie everyone needs a bit of slayer in their life fuk it throw some bolt thrower in for good measure
Can I ask how tall you are? I am considering getting the 100T as it means less bending to get under it (bad back issues!) Just need to judge how high it is compared to your height
I'm 6ft2 amego it's good I can put the fox recliner deluxe in it and have lots of headroom as opposed to the old one where I had to crook the neck to fit in under it.
@@DavidScobie sounds good, thanks for the reply
Dave brilliant video im hopeing to get 100 or 100t but not all the extras not enough cash ive seen the trakker tempest 100 under 200 quid on Amozon stay well stay safe tight lines Dave.
Hey Jason thanks for the comment buddy let's hope this winter is a good testing ground for this bivvy
Nice one Dave, that’s a descent brolly from what I can see though it’s not cheap. For that kind of money it will have to stand up to elements that Fermanagh will throw at it , we will wait for your review after the winter. Till the pike fishing starts, double thumbs big man 👍👍
Hey Ian hopefully the Pike fishing content will be coming soon I'm aiming to start Pike fishing this weekend
I've git the 200 tempest beast of thing with all bells whistles for family etc...but only thing I found was the on the poles the wire rope to help connect has snapped on all of em ffs and the poles storm poles I've found are wank design aswell the twisty bits have crossed threaded and I've lost 1 of them now but apart from that it's bloody grand 👏
I know you can buy replacement twisty bits for the storm poles if they fail I'll just use some of my heavy duty bank sticks amego.
I've heard about the elastic inside the arms going on them but from other tents doing the same I've a load of spare elastic cord so if they need swapped out I can do that.
Time will tell of its able to stand up to a winters Pike Fishing
Try Midwater, they can make custom luggage and are good value.
Cool thanks for the suggestion I'll give them a check here now.
Nice one scobes I’ve got the tempest with skull cap can’t fault it mate
I was impressed that I got the big boy bed inside it so it will definitely be used for overnight angling sessions
Had a bad experience with tft in the past ,ordered bait for France, told it wasn't in stock but I could pay for it and will be ready for me within a week ,they never ordered anything and left me up the creek , try the tackle box in Dartford, they've never let me down .
Tackle box are good I've got stuff from them in the past too
Will you able to put this on some of those docks you fish and have it fit?
I don't think some of the docks I fish will be big enough for it amego, I tend to sit back a bit of the docks so I'm in some shelter there's times I'll use the van as a massive wind break so I'm out of the elements in the winter.
I'm foreigner, love your vids, I do fish in Erne. But I'm also pist about b.r.t.'s taking p.ss out of NI.
Hey buddy thanks for the comment glad to hear your enjoying the videos
Ive just 2 of your videos and thet are funny. I laughed when u said a groundsheet is a ground sheet 😂😂 its true butnalot of people spend 10 minuites reviewing it haha
is that bedchair 100x220cm?
Yep that's the one.
The strap is to get the right distance when you peg it out, my avid has 2. The trakker looks a good bit of kit 👌
@@p.p.8113 All good here buddy .......facking Crystal Palace....
Did well mate. Did especially well getting the scull cap thing/second skin. Because i didn't and the condensation problems i have with mine, without that second skin, are ridiculous. I just wrap an old fly sheet over it and the jobs a gud un. Not too trendy looking on the bank, lol, but it stops the crazy amount of condensation i have with out it. (All that with the door zipped shut,with the door open obviously no condensation.) Also the ground sheet is worth using becaus it has clips at the edges for your main support bars at each side to clip to, which gives you the correct size for pegging ect. I reckon it worth using for that alone, but it's also nice and thick too keep out the cold and creepy crawlys. I'm not trying to teach you how to suck eggs. You're a scarey looking and sounding geezer, lol. Jmo.
Anyway i'm sure you'll love your knew trakker, as i do mine. (Although I whish i'd of gone for the taller version as i find mine a tad low.) And you're bang on about shit bag, because they are a bit shit. Yeah i'm a cuple of years in with mine, and i do like it, but there's a few 'yeah buts', with em. Again all of that is jmo.
Loving your vids.
Nice one mate.
Cheers.
Mick.
When I'm using the thing as a overnighter brolly I'll use the groundsheet but for the day session stuff I think I'll be OK without it.
I am quite impressed with the space in it all I need now is it to be able to take the winter storms.
I think as a day session shelter you'd be able to get 2 anglers chairs under it without too much issues I was very happy I could fit the bedchair in it so when I'm going out all night it should be lighter and easier to use than the old JRC STI bivvy.
@@DavidScobie Yes mate 1000%. You definitely don't need the ground sheet, to achieve the correct 'foot print', the tension strap, that they give you does the same thing. Yeah i love mine, but like you say, they are not cheap, and I bet you'll find 1 or 2 'yeah buts', with it. But on the whole, i'm sure you will love it. Especially with the second skin on it.
Okeedokey, nice one David.
Looking forward to your next vid.
Cheers mate.
Mick.
What did he say 😮
I have watched your vid, I think your comments are unfair in ref the storm poles, you bought the brolley system and added the extras, the 100t bivvy that comes with poles front and ground sheet , it seems obvious you've done little research as this is stated in all articles ...and you had issues fitting the front because you never fitted the tension strap ... 🤷♂️ this is on you my freind .
Ohhh and Army Andy for a bag 👍
Thanks for the comments amego it was a toss up between this and a Fox one. Points taken about the tension strap but come on it was the 2nd time I put the thing up hahaha
@@DavidScobie lol 😆 😂 🤣 OK we've all.been there mate 👌
Tension strap
Is this the 100t or 100t ev
It's the 100t amego I duno what the EV one is
it's a 4 man tent ffs lol no stove for those cold days?
I'm fat amego I don't feet the cold hahaha
You just have the main legs to wide thats all
Nope not a single word
Sorry mate you lost me here
Just love the scotish accent
Edited to say ,.....why have you not put the ground sheet in ? Whinge , moan ...
Scottish accent? Do you not mean Northern Irish accent amego?
The ground sheet didn't get put in because I was hungover and rolling round the floor wrestling with a groundsheet just wasn't in the cards for that day hahahaha
@@DavidScobie hmmm ,you taken the bait with typical Irish humor ,....as for the groundsheet, your excuse is impeccable but you did say ,don't ask lol regards and tight lines .
