Thank you for doing this review. I have watched other individuals do a review on @Deerfamy tents, comparing them with tents that are double the price. I believe this is unfair. Your review was very fair. Hello! I live in Northeastern Oklahoma. Yep Oklahoma! I bought this same tent last month so I can go cold camping here in Oklahoma. (No ice fishing here) I am a 5'3" woman. I camp by myself, so all set up is accomplished by ME. I have used this tent four times, and I love it. I have camped in windy temps around 23 degrees. I use a @Big Buddy® Portable Heater for warmth. There are two ventilation slits on the top of the tent. Since, I am the only one in the tent. I sleep on a cot , there is room for a small table and the two tubs that I have my supplies in. There is a black tarp for the floor to cover the ice. (If needed) It has two hatches in the black tarp so that only the fishing hole is exposed. There is velcro around the bottom of the tarp and the bottom of the tent. I put a tarp on the ground before I set up the tent. (I am on the ground, not ice.) I know that there are heavier quilted hub tents available, but I don't need something heavier and more expensive for what I am using it for. Since, the odds of me going north to ice fish is VERY slim I am very happy with this tent. Just a side note...This tent is not waterproof. Because it is quilted, water will be absorbed into the fabric, as with all quilted material the holes from the sewing needles leave tiny holes. Absolutely, no issue, except if it rains.
That is outstanding to hear. What a awesome setup you must have. I haven't been able to get this on ice yet as we are having a crazy year, most lakes im on by now have 5" except this year most are still open water. I hope to do the same camp on ice, but for floor ill be using those puzzle locking foam mats to insulate from ice melting. I may cut a stove jack in at some point so I can use woodstove instead of big buddy at times. I have the black tarp, my fear is I wear ice cleats on lakes and I will probably rip it up real easy. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your story, its much appreciated.
awesome!! can't wait to see you on the ice with this especially the allegations you have in mind. That's a big box baha still laughing. Such a feature filled tent. with ya on the grommets they are never long term unfortunately. nice work on the review Mike. get those fishies!!!
Possibly yes, I would definitely run a tarp over it. My experience with ice hubs of all makes is they aren't 100% waterproof. Which is fine, usually not dealing with rain when ice fishing. You could also cut a area to attach a fireproof stove jack.
No such thing as a no name zipper there's only one company in the entire world that makes zippers that's why YKK they just don't put their name on all of the handles they are paid to leave them off in some instances but it is a copyrighted owned invention the zipper and cannot be reproduced so it's not a no name one it just doesn't appear and show to have the YKK name on it
I belive at one time you would be correct, there are a few manufacturers one being SBS. YKK most likely sold them the tooling to produce, but they are a separate company and competitor.
@@BarkEater that's interesting, something as commonplace used as a zipper I thought eventually had to end in them losing this Monopoly they had on it. That's very interesting indeed.. thank you
Really nice shelter. Awesome review and video. Always enjoy watching your videos Thanks brother.
Steve, I truly appreciate the kind words, really means alot to me. Thank you for taking the time to stop by 👍

😆 allegations, dreams, plans its all the same. Definitely will be cool ice camping and night fishing right from my cot 👍 can't wait. Thanks Jeff 😊
@@BarkEater bahahahah alterations dammit 🤣🤣🤣
😆 🤣 now it makes sense
Weird thought. With this being a quick pop up, wouldn't this be a good tent option too? Could be a 4 season shelter, yeah?
Possibly yes, I would definitely run a tarp over it. My experience with ice hubs of all makes is they aren't 100% waterproof. Which is fine, usually not dealing with rain when ice fishing. You could also cut a area to attach a fireproof stove jack.
I camp in it in Oklahoma. I have the same tent. I use a @Big Buddy propane heater for heat.
I use the big buddy also. If you don't use one definitely grab a carbon monoxide detector just incase.
@@BarkEater Absolutely. A carbon monoxide detector is a must.
Oh man id be camoin on the ice with it lol
Heck yeah Tom, thats the plan. Im thinking bunk cots to accommodate a party of 4 👍 fish on 🎣 🕳

They definitely still corner most of the market. Pretty cool history if you dig into it. Hey thanks for watching
