I have been using this tent for my small kids for the last two years when we go car camping. We let them set it up by themselves because it is so easy. We let them go crazy in it with all of there toys and blankets and pillows. They call it the fortress. We have had it in rain and I didn’t have any leaks. I do spray my tents with tent sealer every year.
I would love to see a water test on a new one! That being said I would probably use this under a bigger tarp regardless of how waterproof it is. I didn’t know a fast, kinda large tent for car camping for this cheap even existed these days! Thanks for more great info, I’m looking forward to the next one.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here but after really paying attention and reading deep between the lines, I think it's safe to say you may like this tent...but let us all know for sure cuz it was a wee bit fuzzy..🤣
That's a really cool A frame tent. 30 seconds tent setup, very impressive 👏 Would be nice to see it on a ridge line, eliminating the weight of the poles. Water test would be cool tho. In a heavy rain situation, just string up a 10 x10 tarp and your good to go. Thanks for the share Brother 👊💥👊
@Iceman it is such a cool tent for $50. Water test should be coming, i preformed the test today lol. Couldn’t resist. Ridgeline tent maybe coming in the future. I like my 4x3m tarp over this on so it gives you more of an over hang. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool . Never seen this but I don’t go in very often and seldom look at tents . I always cover with a tarp so waterproof doesn’t mean as much to me . 30 seconds is pretty nice . Have a great evening
I have this tent… in my Walmart app shopping car for a while now (about a year) and this is the first review ever… I know it “might be bias” but when a product creates raving fans like your self, is worth trying it as well. Thank you and I hope you reach the 200 soon so I can see if it would hold on a Floridian downpour… hahahahahahahahaha
@Richardo Ernesto Quiero Zamora I understand thinking it maybe bias and I really wish it was lmao, sponsored by Ozark Trail would be awesome! But it’s not bias at all. I purchased all 4 with my own money before I started TH-cam. Just really thought it was time to review it since I love it so much. As far as for Florida goes, cover it with a tarp and you’re golden. We are over 200 likes so the water test is coming but even if it passes that, I wouldn’t trust it in a Florida downpour lmao. Thanks for watching!
Hahahahahahaha I meant bias in a sense that no one could ever say you are profoundly in love with the tent, and there is no other “girl” in town that could ever be as good, and I like that in your video. Is what all of us spect in some way our another from our gear. At least I do habahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thank you for your review
This is exactly what I need for ATV camping. Look forward to the water test. Now just have to figure out a way to get one up here to Canada. Thanks for sharing, love your vids.
@Patrick Flowers it would be perfect for ATV camping. Canada huh, Woods brand makes a very similar one but it’s not instant setup but it also comes with a rain fly. I believe Woods brand is up there in Canadian Tire. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy them!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann found the Woods version at CT thanks for the heads up. Looks very very similar and a well made tent. The price point is a little steep at $260. You folks south of the boarder are very lucky with the selection of products and prices.
@Patrick Flowers yeah it is a little pricey for that tent. But I really like the rain fly. I thought about buying just for the fly for this instant tent lol.
I like the easy set up. maybe 4 small people who like each other, Im 6'1 with 27"shoulders and a beer keg belly, add in my cot and bed side table and thats a really nice one man bedroom.. not that I'll be upgrading from my bakes tent that attaches to my 10x10 ezup anytime soon... unless you d a give away and I win.... LOL.. I remember that snow video.. It might be interesting to see how the tent performs after being used for 4-5 yrs and maybe a comparison to the new
@Doc Ink yeah it’s not the tallest tent either. I’m a small guy so totally 4 of me lol. The snow video was so fun! Water test will be coming! Thanks for watching!
You have to test the three year old one and if that passes then Walmart just took the lead over the big brand tents. Please!! You must LOL awesome video thanks Spackman
That snowed in tent video was the first I’d seen of you. That was some joy you had on your face that morning. Pure stoke. Oh man how did I let this tent slip through my fingers? Maybe I’ll let that be a Father’s Day present to myself. The last cheap tent I bought last year for fun is impossibly large, and the poles are tough ones. This would make it easier to get the little one out there. I definitely think you should water test one. Happy Monday. Cheers.
@Miles Robertson water test is coming!!! Over 200 likes now. Yeah that video was so much fun! Would make a great Father’s Day gift and for sure make it easier to setup for the little ones. happy Monday to you as well. Thanks for watching!
The family dad with many kids tent, set up the tents fast n go fishing n drink beer, that's what Ozark trail is for, the broke back dad that does the family adventure nice quick easy n cheap, all hail OZARK TRAIL!!!!
@Cliff Clay the seams are taped but I recommend using a tarp if you are expecting anything heavier than a light rain. It keeps water out but only so long. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy the tent. It’s one of my favorites
You should definitely water test it see how it does. I thought about buying this tent for my girlfriend parents for when they want to come camping with us I think it be a great loaner tent
@nd predator it’s a great loaner for sure. Fits one queen air mattress too. I’m sure it’s wall to wall to wall but it fits. Water test was preformed on it today lmao. Couldn’t resist. Thanks for watching!
I remember looking at this tent a couple years ago during black friday sale. I wish I would have picked it up now. I would be interested in seeing how it does holds up to the water torture test.
For the price, that tent is unbeatable. It's a great starter tent for anyone thinking about getting into camping. Definitely would love to see how it would perform under the "Spackman Water Torture Test"...lol. Also, another great shirt! haha Thanks, stay safe bro!
@DA Spencer lol “Take the High Road” lol I had to go back and see which shirt it was. Yeah man for the price, it’s a great starter tent for anyone wanting to get into camping. It’s also great for those last minute trips when you show up in the middle of night and it only takes 30secs until you can crack a cold one lol. Tent first, beer second! Torture test is coming bro, new tent showed up today! You guys stay safe as well and thanks for watching bro!
U haven’t yet but another viewer did. The poles come right off the tent very easily so if that’s what you are looking for it will work. Thanks for watching
@Stim Convo so easy! Thanks for sharing. First time camper setup! That is weird. I’ve been meaning to make this video for years lol. Weird it happens when you use one for the first time.lol. Thanks for watching!
I have wondered if the tent is totally removable from the frame. If so it is the best tent OT offers. That drops it to a small bag and just a few pounds. Great for motorcycle camping. With the frame in bag, it is too big and clumsy for pack mule camping.
@S Tho yes it does! You do need a screw driver to remove the poles from the plastic legs that are attached to the body of the tent but then they just clip to body after that. It’s almost like they designed it for it lol. Yeah it would be great for motorcycle camping for sure! Thanks for watching
@V02MAX video just went live, go check it out here: Water Testing Instant A Frame | Father’s Day Giveaway | Best Tent Ever th-cam.com/video/Pd_SSxREAhA/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if this single wall tent will breathe well enough that you don’t get condensation on the inside. Tents with a fly sheet on the outside have breathable inner walls, as the fly keeps the rain away, so no condensation.
@Dennis Henderson I’ve only experienced condensation in the winter months in this tent. With the windows open and the side vents, in the warmer months I had moisture build up. Thanks for watching!
@- ExciteMike - that chair I believe I bought off of eBay years ago. I first saw it from NatureHike and looked for a cheaper “knockoff”, I believe you can buy them from Amazon for about $20 too. Thanks for watching
What is the weight without the frame? I am not giving up the idea of using this tent for backpacking yet... With the trekking poles and no frame, this tent would look like a bigger version of the River country 2.2 tent.
There are pop up tents that you pull out of the bag and toss em. They spring open and that’s it. Never heard of any of them being great, but they are probably the fastest set up you can get.
@Isheian yeah I’ve seen those but I think you’re right about them not being great. I could be wrong. I have a pop out shower stall and folding it up takes forever lmao. Thanks for watching!
@Isheian yeah practice makes perfect. I gave up on using my shower stall and sold it lol. Is your hunting blind the completely see through ones that came out in the last couple years? Asking cause I think those are the pop out kind.
I would do everything you mentioned. You water test every other tent so why not this one too. Yeah try to set it up with a rope ridge line. It MUST pass the Spackmann water torture test to be classified as a good tent lmao.. It passed the EPIC winter snow storm text with flying colors lol.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann outstanding lmao! I knew you couldn't resist not water testing it beings you mentioned it a few times lmao. Those tents should🤞🏻🤞🏻 work good with a ridge line and not using the frames.
@Jeff Jackson yeah I couldn’t lol. And I am thinking the same thing. Quick deploy ridgeline, stack it down and clip it up. Pretty sure I’m going to do it eventually.
Don't think it's big enough for me to get lost in like the other one you had but looks really good for Overlanding, yea, wouldn't want to hike anywhere with a tent that heavy. And only $50? How is is so cheap when that cheap Amazon one is the same price and less. Kinda have to see a water test on it now to see if that's where they're saving the cost on
@Chris ‘CJ’ Jones Ozark Trail is like the biggest seller of tents here in the US cause they are sold in every Walmart store. They put so many out they must be making them so inexpensive. They also have a wall tent(some kind of canvas I think) for only like $400. Water test was preformed today. I just couldn’t not test it lmao. Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann gonna be interesting to see how it holds up but from that comment I'm gonna hazard a guess that it did quite well... Or maybe you knew I'd think that so you're throwing me off 😂 😂 😂
@josh smith are you the one I’ve been talking about this with the last couple days? If not I do have plans to do that just don’t know when yet. Thanks for watching
Wenzel zippers really suck. Sleeping bags, tents, backpacks. The material catches in them. And at the worst times. They split open too. And late at night in winter thats a bad thing.
@drie wiel 😮 I mean, the tent or the tent bag? I have a huge instant cabin tent from them and the storage bag has wheels lol. Tent with wheels would be sweet lol. Or is that an RV? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Saves 2x30 seconds. More time to do other things. Such as ...........sit and do nothing? Sit and do nothing is one of my favorite and most important activities. Which unfortunately leaves less time for other things like work. But first things first. One has to set priorities in life. BTW. Camping would not be the same without tents that are difficult to pitch and leak like hell. As long it isn't your tent it's such a joy to watch.
@drie wiel heck yeah! Sit and do nothing, around the fire, is one of my favorite things to do as well! 30secs then you are on your way to doing nothing! That’s true, some of my best memories growing up are from waking up in the middle of the night getting soaking wet from thunder storms. Ahhhh good time!
@Peter Taylor so the frame is attached to the tent but only by one screw on each corner. The corners have plastic feet that are attached to the tent(can’t come off) and the poles go into the feet and are screwed on. The the tent is clipped all the way around in with c clips and can pop right off the frame going around. It was actually my first plan for these tents but never tried it yet. Thanks for watching
@@scubasteve0530 I do want to, I don’t think it would cause any damage to the tent I just haven’t gotten around to it. I still might just don’t know when.
@Renee Gordon you know I really should try to smooth those zippers out. Graphite you say huh. I’ll have to try that. I’ve also seen a bar of soap smooth them out too. Thanks for watching!
@drie wiel oh I have longer setup tents lol. Like I’m pretty sure my treeless hammock tent video took atleast an hour to setup lol. Thanks for watching!
Complete title waste of money. Leaks like a screen door on the submarine. If it were a $30 tent that would be forgivable but it's not. At best it's a Barbie doll camp.
@hillbilly jack have you had a leaking issue with this tent? It doesn’t claim to be waterproof and I recommend covering it with a tarp if expecting more than light rain. It’s my favorite tent for the cost, ease of use, size and how much fun it brings me lol. I bought 2 for $15 each, 2 for $20 each and a new one for $50. You add a 10x10 tarp and you’re golden. Sorry you didn’t like the video but thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann are you misunderstand I like the video just fine. when I purchased one it was a great deal more than $15. I didn't even last a month before the side tore out of it in any rain would just puddle up in the bottom.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann If I remember correctly it was $49 it was advertised as weighing one. 3 pounds. Which of course it comes out at 13+ pounds . So no I wasn’t happy with the tent from the get-go and proved itself to be a miserable failure
@Sam Britton you should see their family size tents lol. I have an instant cabin style tent from them and packed size is 6x this lol. Thanks for watching!

@drie wiel 😮 I mean, the tent or the tent bag? I have a huge instant cabin tent from them and the storage bag has wheels lol. Tent with wheels would be sweet lol. Or is that an RV? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Saves 2x30 seconds. More time to do other things. Such as ...........sit and do nothing? Sit and do nothing is one of my favorite and most important activities. Which unfortunately leaves less time for other things like work. But first things first. One has to set priorities in life.
BTW. Camping would not be the same without tents that are difficult to pitch and leak like hell. As long it isn't your tent it's such a joy to watch.
@drie wiel heck yeah! Sit and do nothing, around the fire, is one of my favorite things to do as well! 30secs then you are on your way to doing nothing! That’s true, some of my best memories growing up are from waking up in the middle of the night getting soaking wet from thunder storms. Ahhhh good time!
Water Test!!!
@Wynn I’m sure it will be coming 😉 Thanks for watching!
Hi, is there a patent number on this model..?
Sorry I have no idea if it does or not. Thanks for watching
They need to make one double the size
@josh smith that would be so freaking cool, even just taller. Thanks for watching
I would like to see a water test done so the people who buy one will know basically what areas to treat before taking it out
@James Whitlock good call! I preformed the water test today lol. Results to follow. Thanks for watching!
No problem I really enjoy your videos
@@jameswhitlock9229 thank you so much!
3 more likes till 200, we will be getting a water test!!!! Thx for the vids!!!!
@bexpoking1 we there now! Water testing video coming soon! You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Yeah, first! 🤣🤣
@docpdaco1 heck yeah! Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know if this instant tent can be used without the frame or has anyone tried to?
@Peter Taylor so the frame is attached to the tent but only by one screw on each corner. The corners have plastic feet that are attached to the tent(can’t come off) and the poles go into the feet and are screwed on. The the tent is clipped all the way around in with c clips and can pop right off the frame going around. It was actually my first plan for these tents but never tried it yet. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann do you plan to try to set it up without the frame or do you not want to?
@@scubasteve0530 I do want to, I don’t think it would cause any damage to the tent I just haven’t gotten around to it. I still might just don’t know when.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I have taken mine off of the frame and I am just waiting for a nice day to set it up and see if it works
@@scubasteve0530 sweet!
Water test it! :D
@Shawn Erwin oh yeah buddy! It’s coming! Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Awesome! Would love to see how it works with a ridge line too. If it does good, that could be an awesome backpacking tent.
@Shawn Erwin that will be coming too, eventually. Water test will be this weekend I believe as long as the tent comes in time lol.
A little graphite on the zipper might help.
@Renee Gordon you know I really should try to smooth those zippers out. Graphite you say huh. I’ll have to try that. I’ve also seen a bar of soap smooth them out too. Thanks for watching!
Graphite works on metal zippers but you might try it on plastic. It comes in a tube and you just poof it on,
@Renee Gordon sweet thanks!
That’s what I’m here for; graphite, double sided tape and medical advice for the next time you wack yourself with the hatchet
@Renee Gordon still have miscolored skin from the axedent lol. Thanks for being here Renee!
do you think this tent is big enough to fit 2 cots side by side? i got the ozrk trail cots that are 8" high and 2.5 ft wide..
@Ryan Showers yes 8” tall ones for sure. It’s 7 feet wide so as long as the cots aren’t too tall it will work with 2. Thanks for watching
Water test
@Tim Robinson yeah buddy!!! Thanks for watching!
But I don't understand??? If you love tents, then shouldn't you have one that takes hours to pitch?
@drie wiel oh I have longer setup tents lol. Like I’m pretty sure my treeless hammock tent video took atleast an hour to setup lol. Thanks for watching!
Complete title waste of money. Leaks like a screen door on the submarine. If it were a $30 tent that would be forgivable but it's not. At best it's a Barbie doll camp.
@hillbilly jack have you had a leaking issue with this tent? It doesn’t claim to be waterproof and I recommend covering it with a tarp if expecting more than light rain. It’s my favorite tent for the cost, ease of use, size and how much fun it brings me lol. I bought 2 for $15 each, 2 for $20 each and a new one for $50. You add a 10x10 tarp and you’re golden. Sorry you didn’t like the video but thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann are you misunderstand I like the video just fine. when I purchased one it was a great deal more than $15. I didn't even last a month before the side tore out of it in any rain would just puddle up in the bottom.
@hillybilly jack well glad you enjoyed. Was yours more than $50? Man I’ve had 3feet of snow on mine and hasn’t torn, sorry yours did.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann
If I remember correctly it was $49 it was advertised as weighing one. 3 pounds. Which of course it comes out at 13+ pounds . So no I wasn’t happy with the tent from the get-go and proved itself to be a miserable failure
@@woodwalker8743 darn man sorry to hear.
I’ll never buy it unless you test it.
@Brent Roberts thanks bro! That’s mean a lot. Thanks for watching
Second lol
@Jeff Jackson right on bro! Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann you are very welcome as always brother!
Its almost comically massive when packed. Trail is not a good name.
@Sam Britton you should see their family size tents lol. I have an instant cabin style tent from them and packed size is 6x this lol. Thanks for watching!
@@AdventureswithSpackmann maybe the bags so long they class it as a trail. Anyone know the minimum length? ha
@@sambritton8730 lol that’s got to be it. I can measure the packed bag if you really want to know? Let me know
