I am a former British Warrant Officer… when I left the service, I spent many years working for NGO’s involved in disaster response…
This tent would have and can still save many lives… I wish I had known about this before… perfect temporary or long-term accommodation for families who have lost their homes.
Great review as always… thank you.
$300 dollars tops. Any one who pays over 300 dollars is a FOOL!!
@@jeffjohnson5053 I so agree…..this is great for all the military wannabes out there…🤣
Very good marketing for someone
Nice job.🤠
Madness
Sure. But NOT an infantry/military shelter system. As the man tried to push it for. This is luxury and it's HEAVY.
$4,300 Dollars! For A TENT! An entire platoon could stay the night in a Hilton Hotel for less! 😆
You took the words right out of my mouth.
WTF ... now I know why our country is 34 trillion in debt.
Laughs in Hilleberg Stalon XL.
No wonder people be killing for those military contracts.
ya total bs its worth 700 max
Remember this why do you have defense contractors getting big budgets to get RIch
If money was no option, I’d be all over this. It would be great for me and the boys. Great base camp that can take an extreme beating.
If money was no object, why not just buy an island?
It is lighter than the Russian Bear tent hexagon. Russian Bear sets up in 5 minutes like a ice fishing shelter. Plus it is double wall design and of course camouflage. It is just a bit bigger and much lesser in cost. The floor is removable all zippered in. You can get a insulated floor and one section pops up to another room or porch area. They have a accessory wall kit, I forget what they call it. I think that it is about 115 to 130 pounds. Ha, so definitely a car camping tent.
@@craig7333 It is heavy as there is a center adjustable pole to add to the center in case of heavy snowfall. You can add clear windows that velcro into place on the outside for winter. Summer the windows have 3 layers the outside closure, then a screen and then the inner liner. This being a double wall tent. A lot more going on. Plus the stakes and 2 fiberglass poles to open one wall completely open and those poles go on the end to hold up the wall that becomes a roof basically. It is a decent tent considering how much this other military one costs. I thought that this one was expensive. Ha. It does come with a stove jack as well. And they do have smaller models. There are only a few videos on TH-cam of the Hexagon Model. Anyway, good luck!
Is this how people ask for stuff from random people on the internet 🤔 or Is this just how people talk I've never said "if money was no opinion "
@@Paul-VanHorn 4 thousand dollars is to much of you ask me,you can buy you a small secondhand camper for that price....lol
But I'm about to go check out that bear tent you talking about now
Excellent presentation, straightforward & simple. I served 26 years in Regular Army from private in Parachute Infantry to Field Grade Officer at Corps Level as General Staff Officer. Your presentation brought back many remembrances of movement from cantonment to field conditions and attempting to expeditiously establish an effective operations flow. Frankly, in many cases, perhaps most, by the time operations were tented and personnel undercover, it was time to tear down, pack and move to an advanced or retrograde position, to once again expeditiously establish the operations flow. What I have seen in your demonstration, of this new technology fields housing equipment is the dramatic number of hours that can better channeled into Combat Operations. You get the point. Thank you 🇺🇸
A real Para would never say Parachute Infantry ???
@@mojoguy7700 right, they would say something else like PIR or abn Inf. He is a bit antiquated so give him a break 🤣
Most impressive tent I've ever seen. As a child, my family lived in a 9x12 tent from Sears. I wish we had this tent with a stove.
Damn, were you guys Eskimos?
why did yall live in a sears tent and where? lol
@@chronicawareness9986 Because Montgomery ward didn't have one that big.....jk
We lived in the rockies in the early 70's and it was due to being extremely poor and my parents were very eccentric. They grew up in the depression and accustomed to harsh conditions. They considered our lifestyle almost normal.
As a child, my Grandma bought a tent for mum and my Auntie too share. When it blew away my Auntie didn’t want too know. That said she did go out and take the pegs out and reset them. It was doomed from that point on. 🤣😂😅. In the USA you may not know what an original MFI Tent is like. They were an orange body and blue top. We spent ages many, many holidays in that tent. Then my mum bought a German tent. That was amazing. Straight sided. It looked like a cottage. Great Great camping memories. Ok I do have a touring Caravan here in the UK. But that’s cos my body isn’t up to camping. 😂😂❤❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤷♀️🇬🇧🤷♀️
My nebor while growing up lived through the depression and they didn't have inside plumbing and the man of the house did get his driver's license till he was 65 years old, they got the house plum out in 2003, it was the last time I seem them after moving away, man could he grow a beautiful garden.
I've run a lightfighter 1 man in the military, and I gotta say, always impressed with their products. Best thing I got to keep when I got out for sure. I'm sure a Dragoon tent in a truck would be perfect for setting up your semi-permanant basecamp to operate out of when you have the time to actually lie down and get some real rest instead of leaning against the truck frame lol. My Cav HMMWV guys know what I mean.
You really think you would actually be using it? That's a CO/SNCO tent.
It’s good to see a well made tent made from good quality materials and to know it’s out there for who needs it, like military, or people who can afford it. I was excited to see the company listened and shared the tent for testing. I was disappointed in the fact that there was no test with a good long hard rain, but Luke said he didn’t have the room in his yard to set it up to dry out. For the price of the tent, I’m sure it would test well in no leakage and good sturdy through hard winds. It was very nice to see the niceness of this tent, and also could be used as a hot tent. Thanks for sharing!
You’re content is absolutely amazing greetings from the UK I’m now disabled, I love watching your adventures.
Inbox me I would love to ask you something please 🙏🏿
This tent is definitely beyond the needs of the average camper, but I am very happy our military men and women have such an excellent unit to provide some creature comfort in primitive settings thanks to LiteFighter. Great review!
Haha, I wish we were issued these. Definitely far too bulky and heavy for the average grunt. Maybe special operations/ field grade officers are using these, as for the rest of us we use two-man tents. Still high-quality, but much lower-profile and lighter in weight.
That's not right it takes to long to put up and take down.
Trust me, we got better stuff than this and it’s actually cheap as hell😅😅😅😅😅😅
Come along way since I served back in the early 80s and 90s we had canvas with wooden poles. I am glad technology is catching up with the military instead of being in the stone ages when I served. thanks for review Luke. You are the best
In the late 80s we went to mobile flex tents. They were fairly easy to put up but the knuckles would break and weighed probably two times of these.. These tents are made for base camps and not intended to be backpacked. In the early 2000s we went to Drash...
I have this tent. I use it during hunting season or during mountain expiditions base camp tent. I just purchased about two weeks ago and I love it. Yes, it is heavy.
For a military grade all season tent this is excellent. You have to put civilian tents out of your head and think military tent group. A 5 man Canadian Army Artic tent weighs in at 31.5 kg. Near 75 lbs! There was also a 10 man! Scary heavy! We hauled them and all the associated gear on a huge toboggan ( not the hat ). Your tent is amazing and probably cheap for what it is designed for. Think how fast a bunch of soldiers could get that up!!!!
VP
"Military grade" just means it passes the bare minimum requirements using the cheapest possible materials and cost.
"Think just how fast a bunch of soldiers could get that up"... 5 days 3 hours and 56 minutes, perhaps a little bit longer if they were air men..
You are doing a significant presentation, so you should be able to keep it!!! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
You're right, thats a tent which would mostly be used commercially in the civilian market, for glamping or hunting expedition purposes. It looks incredible, well done to LiteFighter. Great video Luke
I reported him to the SEC if he’s being paid to promote this junk it’s sad
0:47 wheels are broken
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 no they're not. They wobble for use off pavement. AFSOC has been using these for awhile. Worth every penny.
@@SoloHiker1 That poster needs to add "/Brain Dead" to their screen name.
Honestly I don't even see it much good for any of that compared to what else is out there.
I have used Litefighters for ten years and I have been nothing but impressed with their gear. I am also impressed with your review of this model. I wish I had the spare funds and a crew of folks to enjoy it. I am thinking that it would be great for ice fishing since the floor is removable. Great video. Thanks!
This tent LOL I used one of these for a summer and eventually sold it on Craigslist. We use to travel and tent camp mostly weekend type trips but some week long trips. This tent was cool at first, but after setting it up after around the fourth time it was like this sucks. Literally 90% of everywhere we camped people would ask about what tent it was and where did we purchase it. When we would tell them the price they looked at us like we had a 3rd eyeball LOL This is a lot of tent, we glamped a lot and it was super nice but this thing was heavy and you could literally beat someone with the metal poles 😂 It took us 2 months to resell it and I have no regrets, it was fun to have for a summer. But when we out this in the back of my jeep or truck of the car it was like throwing a body in the trunk haha. And the tent stakes on this tent are like something you’d see out of a vampire movie! All in all it would be a real good few weeks in one spot type of tent. But the price is absolutely to high. Is it a quality tent yes, but there’s tents that are just as good for a quarter the price. Looking back through my pictures using it, man it was cool looking!
Exterior pockets for the guy lines is a feature that more tents should have, no doubt. So many times I wish I had those. Tangled lines are a PAIN! Awesome stuff.
Last year I bought the Cabela's outback lodge. I love the tent but I was hoping for an easier set up bc it doesn't really have any traditional tent poles or pole sleeves. Unfortunately, the set up is just as painful, if not more, only in a different way. The big center pole & 4 tiny corner poles are no problem. It's the stakes that make set up a freakin B of a chore, there's like 28 of them! And they all have to be super thick stakes, driven deeply into the ground to properly work. Which of course limits you to specific locations as to where you can camp. Stretching out the guy lines adds an extra 5-6 feet to the overall footprint of the tent. It's already big enough, but you need so much extra area around the tent to run the lines out. Staking them in is an "up & down, up & down", monotonous nightmare... All the bending over, kneeling & standing back up just kills my legs. I have bad peripheral neuropathy so it ain't easy or fun. I pay for it for DAYS with sore, throbbing muscles throughout my legs. I can hardly walk for the next 2-3 days at the least.
I still love the tent, it's just that set up & take down is terrible. I have the Cabela's Getaway 6 person dome & it's MUCH easier, but it doesn't hold heat as well & is much more susceptible to the wind. Although running the lines out on that tent is a piece of cake compared to the Lodge. Most the time the lines aren't even needed on the Getaway, but with the Lodge, it's absolutely necessarily to pitch the tent. The Outback Lodge is still solid as a rock though, esp in the wind & other harsh conditions (& with all those stakes, it should be.) It can take a beating (& give one) for sure.
Great video & very cool tent. Thanks for sharing it.
My uncle, a deep Appalachian resident, slept camped out as long as you been born has never bought a tent.
That is a beast of a tent for sure lol. Can't wait for review of it in action. Awesome first look my friend!!!
That's one absolute beast of a tent. The build quality is insane.
Would be impressed to see you get it packed up again - that's often the most difficult thing!
The mad man actually did it. He got a hold of this freaking tent.
Having been one of the people actually using military tentage, I find this piece of kit impressive. Sure, it's a bit of a struggle setting up, but the bain of all soldiers is the end of op/trg teardown and move. What I would like to see is a video of a teardown stow away back in the bag after a week of use and weathering. I suspect it is like trying to stuff fifty pounds of live squid in a twenty pound bag. I am almost sure the actual stow away is just rolling everything in a big ball, wrapping it with twine and sorting it out at home, or worse, the next harbour.
😅😅😅😅 nobody use this thing ever
Thought the same, no way is that canvas going back into the bag under anything less than ideal conditions. It's gonna get thrown on the bag of the wagons and trashed
I love it when you say my friends it's very personal and I appreciate Luke you are also our friend!
I think the floor should be zipper attached for better water and bug protection. It should come part way up the side walks bathtub style and then zip all the way around starting/stopping on the stove jack side. This would help keep water out if it pools under the tent for some reason or flows past/under it and it will also better keep bugs out because we all know if there is an opening they will find it and crawl through it to get in.
definitely. everything was great till the floor, which just looks wet and buggy to me.
It's designed for military use. Durability is the number one consideration. Keeping bugs out is about last on the military list of wants
@@WillieBrownsWeiner Bugs make sick men. Sick men cant fight
@@rainnants that's why they issue bug juice
I hate zippers
Lightfighter is a great company, I have many of their products and have been completely satisfied.
This tent is designed for a fire team and beats the hell out of the old canvas tents we (2/75 Rangers) used in the artic!
This tent is something else! Can't wait to see it set up. What an incredible tent! I'd feel very secure in that. "The ultimate tent"
I actually purchased this tent 3 months ago and have yet to set it up. I bought it to replace the Gazelle which I gave to my daughter. My wife and I are looking forward to setting this up and for me the money was well spent. I have acres in 2 different locations in the mountains and will be doing a review at some point soon. I pair this tent with my Dweller Max Wood Stove made by Pomoly. Thanks for your review
That is insane, but awesome. Definitely outside of my price range and possible uses, but it's still fun to see. I'd definitely be interested in their smaller offerings though since the quality is so good. Thanks for getting this and setting it up for us!
It reminds me of one of my old tents. It was about the same size but only a three season. I used it for family outings. With four kids under ten years old, it worked great. It only took me about thirty minutes to set it up myself and, the people that saw it were always impressed by the size and how comfortable we made it. If I could afford this tent I would definitely get it and show it off.
It sounds like the LiteFighter Dragoon Tent would be great for something like a quick FOB deployment, with a base structure. Thus, the HVAC ports and space. It's probably going to be a LOT cheaper too, considering some FOBs have crappy personnel spaces and limited ventilation. I like this review and this Tent seems perfect for multiple personnel as residents of a semi-temporary base of operations. Definitely would have to be transported and then placed. Unless there are ways to break the components into different transport packs, each person carrying a section.
That is how the Rich Man goes to war. Back in the 80's I used the half canvas, button-wood pole set up that the US Army used in WWII. It worked and kept me dry.
But, would you really want to FOB in a tent?
@@Trapster99 I would not want the F in FOB with this giant tent. I would not want soldiers to carry this in extreme weather, on top of their 100 pounds they already carry. It would be okay if someone else would set it up for them, though. (I used to carry the US pup tent, both halves, and it was no fun, and especially not after it got wet. this was for civilian use, for a soldier with gear and weapons one half would already have been _absolutely_ NO FUN)
I think this is a VERY special tent, for very special missions.
Sun Tzu famously wrote, "If an army has this size of tent, they might as well go into the house-moving business, for there is no better target drones look for than a giant sleeping arrangement."
@@couchcamperTM Yeah, in extreme weather. Incase we go to war with Greenland.
@@Porkchop1967 😄
I would love to see an adventure with it.
It looks like very large 2 man carp fishing bivvy that are popular in uk and europe. I think you'd be impressed by some of the top of the range brands Luke as you can camp out in all 4 seasons in the better ones and stay comfortable and dry
I would love this for my family when we do our longer camping trips.
Very impressive. Overall, considering its capabilities, build-quality, and size, I’d say it’s worth the $4k+ price. However, I would love to see this tent holds up in all-weather conditions. But I’m sure it would do just fine. 👍
Umm - this heavy crap got only 5000mm water protection. For 4k it should be at least gore tex, carbon poles and only 25lb.!
8 second's in and I'm saying "need a military truck to haul it" Go Luke, love your channel.
The second I saw an unsecured floor, I was out. The tent is great, but even "secured" the floor is open enough to allow bugs, snakes, and rodents. Maybe if it was fully zippered or even Velcro, but cinching isn't enough to stop small wildlife that specializes in finding openings. Honestly, it's a very odd choice. to have an open floor that only straps and cinches.
This makes me glad i got the Winchester model 97 tent when i could. 13' x 10' - 6 person with a bathtub floor. Only $250. Found out it was $500 new. This review just made me love it more.
That's a honkin' big Tent! I'm honestly surprised there isn't link-up connections to add the ISS tents to it, like a spiderweb of smaller sleeping pods connected to a main tent for a small TOC or general purpose area (cooking, etc.), kinda like the Cabela's Alaknak Modular Tent System with it's various models and components.
My first AT thru hike my pack weighed 70lbs (normal for that time). So I could’ve cared that tent, 5 days of food, and a sleeping bag 😂
Nice to see that it comes with its own backpack straps, I was wondering how I would carry it in my backpack, i would have to have left out a "few" things though. Lol
Love it! Perfect for use with ATV hauling ability. Costly but you only live once!
Hey Luke hope you're well.....this IS a Great tent no Doubt, However the price WILL unfortunately keep it out of most public hands...I wish there was a Smaller, yet Exact model that was more affordable. I personally prefer using a 3 person for myself as I'm 6'2 and along with gear need room...great job as Always, can't wait for the testing on this one
Do I need a tent like this? No.
Do I want a tent like this? Uh, yeah!
You should subject it to your overnight rain test to see how it hold up and breathes and how long it takes to dry out, if possible there or at another location with space.
Definitely an impressive piece of kit for someone who needs a shelter that large and can afford it.
It’s freaking awesome! I would definitely get it to replace my canvas wall tent for extended hunting trips if it were about $2,000 less. Believe it or not that thing is less than half the weight of my wall tent for nearly the same footprint. The stove jack is the most important feature for me, then the storm worthiness and snow loading capability. Cool tent, too much dinero for this poeboy!
I am curious as to whether or not you are going to use the tent and preform all of the other tests that you usually do on other tents? I am initially impressed by this and it appears that it would make a great base camp for hunting. The weight of the tent is actually lighter than my canvas wall tents. Looking forward to you putting it through it's paces if that is your intention.
$300 dollars tops. Any one who pays over 300 dollars is a FOOL!!
@@jeffjohnson5053 Most high end tent setups cost way more than that.
@@ToasterDsG The US military and US government pays $500 for a pencil, $1000 dollars for a screw driver. You tax payers are paying dearly for it. That is ok with you?? You must be a democrat!!
Seems like an awesome tent with a lot of modular options for a temporary setup. It's big and expensive because of it. You have a lot of ways to run water and air into and out of it, cook in it, small operations and so on.
I honestly would want to try living in it for a year just to stress test the hell out of it because I doubt it's going to last 3 months of casual use before something goes wrong.
The tent looks amazing and would fit my family of 5 with room to spare, but I can't stomach that price tag. That is insane, even for the materials and quality, that seems incredibly inflated.
You can get a tent just as well made under $1000!!
Some unrealistic comments here. Maybe these two should check all the positive comments and reconsider.
Omg…the perfect tent, this is such a tease video lol. Wish I would have had this back in 2021.
Much better than the canvas GP tents, perfect for a squad, which is what you’d need to set it up.
It’s an Alaskan Guide Tent for the military. Great design. I love mine!
This a good companion to my Vaude Mark XT 4P all season. Wilderness with an entire Family and Dogs, Its the one i was seeking for
I'd love this tent. I have owned a berghaus xl4 and that was brilliant. But this is another world in tents!
Oh wow, that is totally awesome. To bad they won’t let you keep it. I hope you get a chance to camp in it. That I would like to see on a really rainy night. Beautiful…..🙋🏻♀️🥰
Holy cow wow awesome and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for your sharing this awesome tent wow huge :-) but beautiful 🥰.
Thanks for the first impression. The tent looks great with all the added functions. I can definitely see it used for military and civilian situation. Pretty cool tent.
Awesome tent, thx for showing it off
Speaking of massive... I've recently started messing with canvas tents. I acquired a Kodiak Canvas Flexbow tent and I must say, I'm really loving it. It's a car-camp-only type of thing for sure, no one I know is going to ruck this thing into the woods.
Would love to see you mess around with and share your experiences in this realm.... Kodiak Canvas, White Duck, Teton Sports and so on.
Same here. Bought the 10x10 last year and absolutely love it. Granted it doesn't have a stove jack, but a buddy heater works great down to about 25 degrees. In the summer plenty of ventilation and the canvas breathes well. I have never once had any condensation issues.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. I have the 13 ft Regatta Bell Tent, and canvas is a really undervalued material if you're hauling around 50 or 60 lbs anyway. White Duck has, imo, put out a few very nice products but I haven't heavy rain tested the canvas. I'm really curious to see his thoughts on the newer canvas tents.
Nice.... wish I had a tent like that when I was in the military
What a awesome tent, magnificent no wonder the military use it
Your right about the price and size, its better for group outdoor trips or resorts that offers expeditions. My first thought was, since I was was, this is an item that Boy Scouts would love to utilize on their trips.
That's a tent for going to campgrounds, hunting, and having an ATV to be able to haul it to the camping site, as you said. At that price point, it seems that the Russian Bear Hot Tent might be a better option being that it costs a little less.
Thanks for your content.
Artic oven hot tent is way better
I want one, this tent is amazing. Especially since you can actually use a stove in it.
That tent is a BEAST!!! Liking it, very much. Thanks Luke!!!
Such a cool tent. I'd love to have it for camping
Superb tent and great for Irish weather as it rains a lot here
It’s great. I remember what it was like to put up a GP medium tent.
AWESOME!!! Freedom for all people...
I recently purchased their 10’x10’ rip stop nylon tarp, and I love it. Great company, great service. Berry Complaint military supplier, so it’s 100% US made.
For about 12yrs I used a Magellan 10 man tent for my camping and it served me well. However in south Texas I rarely see snow, maybe 1 every 10yrs so the Dragoon as great as it looks is probably graded for colder weather. I am however in need of a new tent and I like my space. Most tents off the shelves today just aren't big enough.
This is, without a doubt, a beautiful tent. The price, however, is dear; beyond my price range.
When I was on active duty we had a two man tent,each man had a Shelter half to have put them together 2tent poles and a air mattress in your a sleeping bag.
Looks like a great tent! Glad I don’t have to take it down and repack to send it back!
Working 35 years for Sikorsky Aircraft, makers of the UH 60 Blackhawk helicopter I know the military is obsessed with quality as they should be. This must be an awesome tent if our soldiers are using and depending on this.
Fantastic tent ⛺️. Reminds me of the Eureka Equinox 8-10 person tent (which is a breeze to setup, 4-season tent and great in top winds).
If only we could afford something like this... Definitely enjoyed the video... Cheers!
It’s impressive. I do a lot of camping but I’m 5’2 140lbs and prefer an instant tent that I can put my queen size air mattress in and on those rainy or snow days I also have portable folding tables that fits perfect inside. I usually have a big tarp that they tent sits on and I can pull over the top for additional overlapping the tent just in case I want to cook outside.
US Army SFAB Advisor teams would likely benefit from this tent. 4-12 man teams that travel pretty light (single ISU 90) would be pretty awesome.
I'm watching so I can see you put it back in the bag.
I’d love to see a video of you packing that beast back into the travel case.
It's awesome! I have no use for it... but I still want one.
Wish I could justify purchasing one. My style of tent for drive up camping.
Knowing litefighter for quality this is definitely worth the price. I'd choose this over a cabelas tent.
The price is more than acceptable for this amazing tent!
What a beauty! Wish I could afford it.
The dragon tent to seems to be very impressive well-made plenty of room awesome tent thanks for the video.
That's one nice tent, a little on the expensive side but very nice...taking out looks alot easier than having to pack it again
Thank You Luke, LOVE this episode on this tent.
For people who cannot afford building an underground shelter, if the "merde" hits the fan, this would be an absolute life saver. Get in your car, head to the mountains and live in this. I would definitely buy one.
The right kind of tent for of-grid survival
Those round openings look like the snow tunnels that my old North Face VE24 mountain tent have. You would crawl thought those in snowstorms avoiding opening the doors letting the snow in.
While I am not a camper type person I (where is the nearest Best Western??) I really appreciate your presentation. And your honesty, more importantly your honesty. Nicely done. I have a few ex military friends who may be interested in the tent .. so i will pass along.
Yes, it is a Resort style tent, or a Hunting Expedition ($$$) level tent. If I were guiding Big Wigs out into the bush, and they paid top dollar, yeah, this tent is the way to go.
Not mentioned: You don't have to bend down and contort to put your cloths on, it is tall enough for a six foot adult, or adults to stand up inside with comfort to put on cloths and gear. That is a big plus for most people.
Great review. I don’t camp but I do love your videos. Thank you Luke
insanely monstrous!! if I'd be setting it up, it had to be an almost permanent camp.. 🤣
It is very interesting to see what engineering put into an expedition class. Some of the basic stuff is there, poles, vents, zippers, stakes, cords. Try getting an AC mechanic to service the unit at your tent.
I just built a small cabin in the woods on my 35 acres and it is way better than any tent,insulated heat&ac,lights,2 beds a sink and table and chairs,still cost less than $4,000 for everything
I’m officially in love with a tent 😂
