That silver thing is a pole repair sleeve.
A good little tent , i think the 2 holes in the tabs on each corner are so you can use the inner hole if you want to stress the poles a bit more or either one hole for poles and one hole for pegs if wanting to pin it down , try putting the groundsheet hooks around the tip of the poles after you have put them through the tab , by doing that it should stretch the groundsheet a bit more too
Bloody Brilliant will try! :-)
@@BikerBits Yep that's how they are meant to go...not through the holes... that's why they lie flat on their side..
Cracker review mate. Can you do a video on the two man tent and include measurements set up and packed up. Cheers mate.
You don't seem as relaxed as the last time I watched you put a tent up, set up that Huon Hike Lite series what seven years ago when you were on Harry the Blvd, but this will do. Always a pleasure to watch, your quiet the videographer. Thanks for sharing Mark
I like that inflatable airmattress. I went camping and put my single swag inside my tent. Worked well and was comfortable but did take up a lot of space on the back of the bike.
The unknown silver bit is a pole repair piece. Also the ground sheet or footprint probably hooks onto the poles not the strappy bit. Good review Mark !!
😂😂😂😂😂
I used a similar size tent (Although much more economy class. No bells or whistles) like that on my western Canada trip. It was a 3 week trip. My first night setting it up I was like Ooooh Sh*t I have to live in this for 3 weeks??? I didn't think it or me would last. Fortunately I didn't encounter night rain. But for a easy quick set up and just sleeping. It did the job. The next year's trip when I upgraded from a similar self inflating mat to a cot. I had the same issue. The cot was just a inch too long. So on the 2 week trip to Eastern Canada I went back to my 20 year old 3 man bulky domey.
good looking tent. even better that it doesn't need to be staked.
I'm sorely tempted mate, looks great! One tip for any tent with zips is to add a ring the the zipper (eg the rings you get for keyrings). Makes it easy to find and pull, and can just stay and live on the tent, no worries.
For some a quick rub of wax/soap till that wear in as some can be a bit sticky when new.
Nice review Mark. It's a very lightweight tent considering the 1.95 kg includes the ground sheet. The tarp I carry probably weighs close to 1 kg. Looking forward now to seeing the 2 man tent review.
You’ve done a great job of selling this product.....in Aussie fashion, good stuff, good entertainment. Well done Mark.
thanks, didn't skip any parts like most annoying reviews do.
Fantastic video 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺
Great review mate and as always honest and you give as much information as possible
Love ya work mate
I don't do a lot of camping ,but that is one slick tent Mark! Perfect for a mototrip.
Love your gear reviews. Feel free to do more of them. You must have lots more interesting stuff you sell. Don’t be shy to advertise yourself.
Great stuff mark , the quicker you can get your tent up the better
especially in bad weather things can get a little tense 😂 (sorry about that) but I always feel better once it's up , especially if it's raining at least you got somewhere to keep all your stuff getting soaked and stay dry even if you can't get a fire going straight away 👍
The hooks on the ground sheet most likely attach to the bottom of the the tent pole rather than those holes. Great tent. Got one similar, different brand. Best thing is the set up options, you can set up the ground sheet & water proof fly without the tent part & use a bivy. PS. Mystery small piece is a repair pole sleeve, in case you bend or break the pole. Great review, great tent style.
Hmm, doesn't look a bad little tent for minimalist camping. But maybe a little too small for multiple night motorcycle camping trips. Especially for larger blokes. That style of peg is also better in softer ground and sand. The tube will be for pole repairs. Look forward to seeing what the other tents are like. Cheers
Early morning coffee and Biker Bits. Way to start the day. Look forward to seeing you use it on a trip. Enjoy your channel very much here in the USA and have used it to do bits and pieces to my DR650 which I will be taking on the TAT (5000+miles) this July. Good one man tent at good price but I like my two-man Mountain Smith. The two grommet holes are to adjust the tension more or less on the tent poles as needed due to atmospheric conditions. Keep on keeping on!
Nice video. Weather looking better here in the uk ready for the bike..
Sorry, too small for me Mark, but a couple of observations: 1/ Forget being able to switch ends. Better to place your bag so the zip is on the same side as the door, especially in a one-man tent. 2/ Even if the Helinox fitted, I reckon you'd still risk damaging the tent material where the tent ends start to taper in due to the design because the cot frame corners are a few inches off the deck. 3/ That tent design leaves a flat top, so hopefully the rain water that pools there can't soak through any of the seams. I think I'll stick with my tipi style MegaHorn II (although I don't know if you can get them down under), or at the pricepoint you're looking at, a Paria Mesh tent (680gm) with a tarp in case of bad weather.
. Always entertaining to watch your vids though, so thanks for posting.
Never gave it much thought before now, but I'm glad that I chose a tent that has its entry/exit point at one end (not the side).
This means my Helinox Cot (Lite) slides straight on in, job done! I have a Cloud Up 2 (NatureHike) tent.
That’s a bloody good point! :-)
Looks better than my swag as an option.
Nice. Great to see these reviews. It's just about time to go camping again, looking forward to more reviews on camping gear!
very good "true" review ! nice guy :)
Thanks Mark, terrific fun as always!!
As usual very entertaining and informative in your unique way Mark. I think it is a great tent with a lot of good innovations but for me it is a bit small. I would love to see the 2 man alongside the 1 man and compare them together. Keep it up mate bloody great work.
Great video of the tent. You should do more videos of products being sold from your Biker Bits store.
Oh mate. I love the idea of those clips! Those bloody toggles are such a pain in the dark and the lower clips save on doubling up with pegs.
To me it looks like the groundsheet clips should stretch out and clip onto the poles?
I love the length of it as my K-Mart special I have to lie diagonal with my bike gear all around me. Plus my cheapy leaks when it pisses down.
Although I like to keep my gear in the tent with me, having that vestibule area would be OK. I like the simplicity of the design with the one pole setup as well as the size as it looks like it would fit in my soft side bags nicely. Whereas my current one doesn't. Hmm.
I like that one ! Simple fast .
😔I can't get the website to come up on my computer I get the dreaded 404.
Does look like a nice spot for a cuppa and some jammy dodgers.
Thermos' are awesome I got the 2 litre as well, when I was on the road a lot whatever restaurant-cafe-coffee shop I had breakfast at I would get my Thermos filled up with coffee and I would drink it later, so we both know the joy of stopping for break and a cup of coffee.
Coffee is definitely one of life's simple pleasure, I prefer my coffee just plain nothing in it, I don't really get into the fancy coffee drinks anymore lately I've just been simplifying my life and enjoying it more, even sold a lot of camera gear and lenses, just down to two bodies and two lenses.
Just like that tent you got there simple and does the job, less mucking about the better.
Cheers.
Not first to comment but first to 👍
That's basically a copy of a MSR Hubba Tent, but yeah, the Helinox rocks.
Very similar, you're right. But Mark's price for this Gunya beats the $500+ for the MSR
I do not know the age of the MSR design, but that style is good had one from unknown make, a number of years ago with the extendable poles... basically sewn in the same hooks like this one.
For all but the extra large . Can you try setting the whole tent on top of the cot ? Thanks All
Interesting! :-)
yeah she's a beauty, but I might need the 2 man job. Nice footage in the beginning btw
Look like a great tent.
But no good for me as i am 6.6 tall and i stretch out to sleep.
May be have a go in setting up the two man one please.
Nice one Mark 👍
What a brilliant little Tent!
no good for me, like Alistair it would be to tight on the shoulders. In fact minimum width for my sleeping bag is 120cm at the shoulders to be comfortable. its a nightmare finding lightweight kit and have resorted to tarp tents on the bike for over nighter's or a couple of nights just to keep it K.I.S.S.
If I'm touring I have a small 3 man tent that is 3.5kg which provides a level of comfort and allows keeping my kit in the dry if its tipping it down. which here in the UK can be a problem for a morning pack up as everything is dripping wet from rain or dew and needs the sun before packing up.
Regards HarryB
And a bag that has a pocket for the inflatable mattress, so you don't slide about..
Not a bad lookin little tent, would be happy to do an unbiased review on it.
Nice tent. I have been looking at the Rhinowolf tent as it comes with built in mattress, sleeping cover and zips together with other tents. Bit expensive though.
Great review - thanks
It’s a copy of an MSR Hubba. I have one and it’s a great motorcycle camping tent.
Good video Mark, as usual. My concern would be that with the fly clipping onto the rest of the tent, there is very little space in between the two. Means in the event of rain it might leak faster where they touch? I have the Oztrail Hiker 3 tent 3.5 kg (I like my space), and the fly pegs 3-4 inches away from the tent underneath, which I like better.
Hello Mark, the tent is a beaut and especially good for us short blokes. Shame the Hellenox cot does not fit...I did get the cot and just love it..a great nights sleep; Thermos, you got the same one as me, On day rides I always carry the Thermos with coffee its shit easy. Nice to know you got some rain. I hope it helps to make the place better...take care....look after yourself....
It sort of looked like it would fit if he had stuck the other end first, I wish he would try again at home.
Nope it was not going to fit either way!
@@BikerBits Damn it man let Alister make it fit LOL I got it build that sucker inside the tent. HA
@@BikerBits Hi Mark i have the outdoor expedition falconet, exact same tent, the cot will go in if you put the cot in before installing poles,
Just assemble the cot inside the tent.
Nice tent a little small. I was wondering what kind of pannier racks you have. I Enjoy all the videos. And they still haven't got back to me about analyzing my dr oil it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow Tuesday the 14th of May.
Wolfman Gen2 Racks. They no longer make them!
I use a denalie storm 3. Easy as to set up and it packs smaller then that tent plus its lighter. Was bloody cheap also. But im a big dude so i need room haha. Good vid mark.
3.17 kg for the denalie storm 3 cost $369.99 + $9.99 shipping on ebay. I'm gonna check out the Biker Bits 2 man and see how much that is. His 2 man tent is only $199 and weighs 2.6 kg now that's a killer deal. check it out here shop.bikerbits.com.au/camping-travel-gear/motorcycle-camp-tents/
I got my tent on special from anaconda down Adelaide for $170 and i pack the poles separate so its only the bag and material. But yeah i do agree this looks like a good tent.
@@Aaron_willis14 Man you got a good deal on that for $170, smart to pack things separately to save weight. Happy Camping to you and yours ;-)
the manufactures are either not weighing the tent bag or the poles, not sure which one, to get the lowest weight possible .
Hey Mark do you think you could get the Helinox cot in before you hook up the top of the tent and fly to the frame ? just thinking that the doorway would be more flexible I bet you could
Cheers.
Ha!
I like this format. I have a Kelty that is very similar. It has the poles crossing in an X format, but virtually all the other features are the same. I like that it comes with it's own base too. Cool tent.
Was it you that found that nugget while you were out there? 🤑
Hey mark,what size is the thermos you had in the video?
Thank you heaps 😊👍🇦🇺✅
470ml
Thank you 😊👍✅
Place the tent ON the cot.
So Mark, which would you pick?
Gunya 1 or Howqa 2 if you were buying your first one?
That’s a hard one! I’ve been using the Howqua 2 for 10 years and love it! I need to actually camp with the bike using the Gunya1 before I could answer that properly. At this stage I would have to say the Howqua2... the extra room is a big bonus! :-)
cheers - that aligns with what I thought......glad you've got them back - I was about to buy one and then you stopped selling them!
👍
With the 95cm height would it be as warm as a swag?
Logic says no! :-)
ok tent but as you say one man sleeping you need a 2man tent for more space .
way to small for my needs no room for getting changed in or your gear it looks claustrophobic :) i use a Vango Scafell 300+ which is perfect :)
VersysGTRider tend to agree with these casket tents. If I just want night cover then I tarp off the bike, using the excess tarp as ground cloth and two pegs, $5.00. Packs small and hangs between trees if I later need sunshade or rain screen when awake.
Pole repair
Learn more bout your kit before doing a review about mark good stuff buddy
Too short. I don't sleep with my feet at 90 degrees to my legs. Does anybody?
I do when I have my adventure boots on :))
Just some advice buddy, Don't pitch your tent so close to the bike.
Why?
@@ozoutdorz2584 Bikes usually weigh more than you're willing to have fall on you and in some circumstances are easier to tip than you might think. I have two bikes that weigh almost 800 Lbs apiece. Imagine my surprise when one morning I found one blown over during the night by a storm that rolled through. Then there's the fact that as much as we'd like otherwise the world is not always a nice place with nice people. That's as nice as I can say it.
Showing your age Mark, it’s a one person tent, not a one man tent. Gotta consider the weaker sex and how they winge about the slightest thing!
