I'm getting one of these soon. I just can't afford to pay my flat rent and bills and i refuse to work 50 plus hours just to scrape by month by month so I'm going to disappear and live off the land somewhere. Will be an adventure thats for sure. Great video mate 👍🏻
Have a look at south African “Campmor” canvas tents…mine has been up permanently in the uk for nearly 2 years with no issues at all….just a bit greener than it was originally as on a sunny tree line. Honestly haven’t even had to re peg it as it came with with big J ground pegs which just flex rather than getting ripped out and are awesome anchors.
@@gazgf Thanks for the recommendation buddy but I'll need something I can put up and take down quick for when I get moved on. Looking for something similar to the Russian bear hot tent but something a bit more affordable. Fingers crossed I can get something substantial for my needs. Thanks again for your comment 👍🏻
Absolutely love that tent. I've stayed in tents similar to that one in the military. If it was me, I would fold the lower portion back under the tent on the inside and put sand bags or some kind of weight all around the inside and put support poles around the inside where the guide lines meet up and a pole in the center of the door. Tighten it all up again and it will be a lot more sturdy. But that me, and I like the idea of a wooden floor. Stay safe and healthy.
I thought about putting the snow skirt on the inside of mine. Sandbags are a great idea though I think the mice in my wood might open them up! Hmmmm, might give it try. The extra poles are a good idea too :)
Kooks great my long time friend. I felt it incumbent upon me to tell you that I watch Beck and yourself like always I just don't have the time to interact in the comments as much. Covid has destroyed the employment over here so no one works so those if us who do are doing the job of 3 employees and 14 hr days becomes tiring. But you guys will always be my favorite TH-cam family and you made me famous with the Scotch egg video my man. Thank you Semper Fidelis
I've always loved and wanted the artic tent, you can never go wrong with military surplus gear for price and quality almost unbeatable!! Living quite comfortable I think you've made Robin Hood proud brotha lol cheers!!😁✌💚
I was thinking ROBIN HOOD, as well! Bushwhacker Man has made almost a forest encampment of the spot and Girl Outdoors has been on hand to provide family and company.
Thats brilliant! Mine is going up in the wood today. They had no liner in stock tho so need to wait before I can get one. I also want a wooden floor in mine.
Good video dude I’m testing out a two man tent soon it’s a old command post tent from the British military so that will b fun and I’m making a liner for it so will make it less hot in the sun
Canvas is the best for all weather's it has most definitely served you well and look forward to more adventures at the amazing camp you have made it has been a god send to myself the last 18 months to bring calm and tranquility to the the madness thank you for all your effort it's been appreciated cheers 👍🪓🏕🐕
Got two artic tents’ one with a liner ‘ one without’ the one tent has been up on my friend s land for 2 year ‘ the front zip broke but still dose up with the wooden toddle ‘ I put down a ground sheet then artificial grass to stop all the damp coming up’ and the bugs. Best wishes dave chubb
I love heavy canvas tents. you stay dry. Spent three days in a canvas tent in 72. I rained so much, we have to break camp at the end of third day, just before dark, because the water had risen to about 10 feet from the tent. Three days of heavy rain and dry as a bone.
I DO VALUE your work outdoors. In this case, having a reliable look at a long-term setup builds confidence that 'it can be done.' During the 'Victorian Era', the USA had a vogue for summer tent communities organized around religious denominations. They featured a raised wooden platform and solid floors to control the damp and to provide attachments to which the tent could be anchored.
Looks like a good tent for a winter hunting camp as long as you can drive to your setup site. Stealth camping I don’t buy that; you just can’t break down and vacate an area on a moments notice. As far as a more permanent stealth camp it’s the right color and the light blocking abilities are a plus; but I’m betting that down wind for at least a hundred meters one can detect the odors of bacon, burgers, and sausage.
Hey, great tent. Reminds me of mine in the military, although we paratroopers didn't have it as comfortable. Laugh, let me know when you have the half sow and a small barrel of scotch. Couple of cases of good beer, I'll bring. Nice video, I like it. Greetings from Frankfurt, take care and stay healthy.
Loving your vids- so inspiring . I’m looking at buying one of these for my Forest School/ Outdoor Workshops- where did you buy it please? Can I get one in Europe? Thank you so much ! 🙏
I had a chance to buy one of these a few years ago but turnd it down as was too expensive at the time definitely a fantastic tent if you have a permanent camp to put it up atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Is there any way to seal a base to the tent sides to prevent the rodents getting in, so more sealed ? Wooden floor over some base sheet to prevent rising dampness & retaining heat better? Think someone mentioned sandbags to seal , but that does not seem to be reliable to me. This tent is probably the best thing around for long term camping, so robust & reliable.
I bought a very similar tent advertised as an ex British army Arctic ten man bell tent at 16' 2" diameter and 8' 6" but it doesn't look like the size of yours and I suspect it might be a five man as the diameter is no more than 12' or 13' and the door is significantly lower. Have you ever come across a five man tent and what is the internal diameter of the floor space. I was well inspired by your set up but worry I might have been short changed. Thanks a lot
Well, really love your stuff! I got the same bell tent from anchor supplies. I have it up 3 nights, heavy downpour last night. A few places where letting in water small amounts in micro holes. I have to the liner with it as well. The tent is 10 man grade a and liner. Any help would really appreciate it.!!! Oh and how do the vents work I think the vent might of been letting in some rain. Many thanks!!! All the best
Yep,them canvas tents are best in my book ,its the price that u got to sell a kidney, so how is everyone, think Becky is hiking a trail ,if I remember right,

@@jamesellsworth9673 both excellent channels and content 😁✊🔥
Thats brilliant! Mine is going up in the wood today. They had no liner in stock tho so need to wait before I can get one.
I also want a wooden floor in mine.
Also... do you not need a stove jack around the stove hole like the bell tents do?
You are going to have the time of your life 👍👍
No its all protected, including the inner liner 👍👍
Brilliant mate, hope you're well
All good 👍👍
The tent looks amazing especially with the fire and candles on a night really cosy great reveiw mate also enjoy watchin becks doin the scotland trek .

Been thinking of getting one to replace my wall tent for hunting season. It's good to see they hold up well. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Great choice 👍👍
Nice to see you again,man,missed yo guys,🏕🤠🔥 Keith,France

You are a lucky man, owning two tents 👍👍

The arctic tent has served you well. A wood floor would be good to help hold in some heat. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Thanks, you too! 👍👍
Hello Dean,
Thanks for the review... The artic tend looks like money well spent... See you next time.
Take care.
Paul,,
👍👍
Excellent video! If I ever need a tent that size, I'll consider it. For stealth camping, I like my Ionosphere.
👍👍

I would have to eat rice when stealth camping 👍👍
Thanks for sharing. ✌️👊

good review thank for posting..safe journeys to you

Already seen this before i know it’s good
👍👍
Loving your vids- so inspiring . I’m looking at buying one of these for my Forest School/ Outdoor Workshops- where did you buy it please? Can I get one in Europe? Thank you so much ! 🙏
I bought mine from Army surplus 👍👍
I had a chance to buy one of these a few years ago but turnd it down as was too expensive at the time definitely a fantastic tent if you have a permanent camp to put it up atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
They are expensive for sure! Especially for a secondhand tent. I nearly fell over when they added £45 postage for mine as well!
I have loved camping in this tent, maybe you could get one 👍👍
Cracking tent Dean...you could hold a disco in it lol.
That would be great 👍👍
Is there any way to seal a base to the tent sides to prevent the rodents getting in, so more sealed ? Wooden floor over some base sheet to prevent rising dampness & retaining heat better? Think someone mentioned sandbags to seal , but that does not seem to be reliable to me. This tent is probably the best thing around for long term camping, so robust & reliable.
A raised wooded floor is the way to go 👍👍

My tent is a 10x10 👍👍
This tent makes for great videos 👍 👍
Absolutely 👍👍
Nice tent!
Very very nice. Rogatto Vagner - Brazil.
👍👍
Well, really love your stuff!
I got the same bell tent from anchor supplies.
I have it up 3 nights, heavy downpour last night. A few places where letting in water small amounts in micro holes. I have to the liner with it as well.
The tent is 10 man grade a and liner.
Any help would really appreciate it.!!!
Oh and how do the vents work I think the vent might of been letting in some rain. Many thanks!!! All the best
My tent took a few weeks to weather, then it became water tight 👍👍 Are you going to camp this winter? 👍👍
@@BushwackerMan nice thanks on that! Was a little bit worried.
Yes I am indeedy! Lock and load, food shortages and power outages!
Great video 📹👍👏👌🙌😀
Just wondering what air flows like especially in the winter. I'd be claustrophobic; I always need a window or door open when sleeping.
You could leave a half door open with the fly mesh down 👍👍
I’m thinking of a similar setup for winter camping. What size stove have you got, and would you change the size/output for UK use?
I would like to change the stove for a Tentipi Eldfell Pro Stove 👍👍
@@BushwackerMan - Interesting. I was thinking about the Winnerwell Nordic but I am open to suggestions.
Was thinking about getting on of these, most the time am just camping at weekends, how long dose it take to erect? Do they come with ground sheets
The tent takes around forty minutes to erect, with no ground sheet 👍👍
Nice tent ⛺👍👌😀😄👏⛺
Love your videos!
Was wondering whether you got the lightweight or heavyweight version? Planning on doing much the same thing as you : )
Cheers
Its the heavy weight, good luck 👍👍
Nice place,
do you have any condensation issues ? or does the tent have vents etc ? thanks
it has 4 roof vents, its twin skinned with the liner and the canvas is really breathable so not condensation 👍👍
Can you get a full liner for these
I think most are sold out, keep looking at army surplus sites 👍👍
I've been admiring this tent since I first saw it on your channel. Do you have any idea of the weight of it please?
arctic 10 man tent with poles weighs about 50 kg ( i guess thats about 100 american pounds )
Yep, it's around 50kg.
Your question has been answered 👍👍
Quality
That's just too cosy, money well spent I'm guessing, good video Dean 👍👍
Thanks 👍👍
Amazing view 😍❤♥👌✨
Thanks for visiting 👍👍
Is the the British or Swedish one?
British made 👍👍
👍🏻
Tent = 2 bedrooms & 1 1/2 baths😉😂 👍 🎥
How much does it cost?
around £500 👍 👍
proper living id live thare full time if thare was a river or lake near by for fishing
👍👍
Yep,them canvas tents are best in my book ,its the price that u got to sell a kidney, so how is everyone, think Becky is hiking a trail ,if I remember right,
Yes Becky has just got back 👍👍
Blend in my arse,I can see it from here and I’m in a different country…
You made me laugh 👍👍
These are beefy
👍👍

Yes no problem 👍👍
