Hello everyone,
In this video I head into the woods with the OneTigris Rock Fortress hot tent for a quick overnight camp. The tent should make a good winter canoe camping tent I reckon, it's a cracking tent, great quality. This video is slightly longer than usual as I left the low calibre banter in which I usually edit out!
Thanks for watching,
Cheers! Ben.

Perfekt ✌️😜👍🔥🔥🔥🍀🍀🍀
Awesome video, I love that you actually talk to the camera and your viewers. I’ve watched so many other solo camping videos that just focus on everything they do and the scenery but never talk to the people watching and even worse if they bring a dog along, never talk to it either, it always look so sad it’s heartbreaking. But this was great, loved hearing the stories and you made me chuckle a few times. Very entertaining, new sub here!
Cheers! Glad you found the video entertaining, thanks for the sub, much appreciated 👍
Great video, I walk through the woods and forests at night anytime in UK no issue..................... mind you I was brought up on Dartmoor and as a kid used to rescue sheep who had wandered into the middle of very dangerous bogs; one mistake and you are gone deep down forever......... I have a very logical mind and me Gran (a Cornish lady) used to say to us kids........... 'don't be afraid of the dead as they cannot harm you, it is the living you need to be weary of!' Wise words indeed! Subscribed
Thanks, my Nan used to say exactly the same thing! Cheers for the sub 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors Yep my Gran used to get around! lol

Love the Batman utility belt :)
Great Video Sir! thank you for posting. I have just bought one of these. I have got to the age where I am fed up of being cold when I camp, which tends to be Spring or Autumn. Tried hammocking, bought the tarps and the underblankets, but could never afford the sleep system to make it worthwhile. I don't do any backpacking nowadays so it doesn't justify paying extortionate prices for expensive lightweight gear. Looking forward to trying it in a blizzard! :) Although I will be a hundred yards from the car :)
Great stuff buddy, your videos really help me relax after a long day
Great video, thank you! Camped out in my new Rock Fortress in - 5 C a couple of weeks ago with the Outbacker Firebox stove ( I got fed up with my Frontier stove and all the problems you've talked about here). It was warmer than my living room with the fire on at home! Going to try your lamb tagine on my next camp out!
Cheers mate 👍
Another great video. Loved the tent
Thanks mate 👍
Great video! I have the Rock Fortress for Winter camping here in New England, USA. I loved seeing an external frame backpack being used! Best old backpacking rig I still have (someplace) is an old Kelty Tioga 5500. The still have a place in the rotation, especially for hunting! Thanks for the tent review - just subbed!
Thanks! I’ve just finished 6 days canoe camping with the tent, it worked great! 👍
Love the vicious pheasant story..funniest thing!
Great Video Mate, LOVE the jumper !
Cheers mate, it's one of my favourites! Thanks for watching 👍
About to but this tent, so this has been very useful, great video man! Thank you!
No worries, thanks for watching! I’m sure you’ll be happy with the tent, I think it’s good value for money 👍
Going will camping in a couple of weeks and hoping this will be my go to hot tent for the winter, seems like a quality affordable purchase, thanks again.
Nice camp 🏕 and video 📹 ...Alan in 🇨🇱
My dad is your mate and he told me about this account and its really good mate im loving the videos like ahaha
Cheers young Nath, I hope you and your dad are doing well 👍. Thanks for watching mate.
Atmospheric wind 💨💨🤣 brilliant tent & video chief of the very nice manor 👌👍
Thanks mate 👍
Class video, been looking this tent. Looking forward to going through your content mate. Awesome new channel to get into 😃
Thanks mate! The tent is great, can't go wrong for the price. 👍
Nice tent !
The spirits of that ancient woodland probably approve of you, as you're felling the pines and planting oak, birch, chestnut and cherry in their place. I'd bet you are one human who's perfectly safe mucking about in that forest after dark. Unless, of course, you did run up face to face with the Jabberwocky. Everybody knows how unpredictable they are!
I think I encountered the Jabberwocky a few months ago. It was a clear sky and full moon so I was walking without a torch and was stopped in my tracks by a loud growl ahead of me. I still have no idea what it was, nothing should make a noise like that in the woods, unless it was actually a stray dog but I'm sure I would've seen it if it was. Naturally I slowly backed off and then ran like hell!
That is one kick ass tent and great for glamping. I'm looking forward to you doing some subzero and snow camps in that. Thanks for sharing atb Taff 🤠👊
Cheers Taff, aye it's a cracking tent. Atb mate 👍
Good show nice looking tent
Great video, as always. I might have to try one of those tents. I currently have the Bergans Lavvo 6-8 person. It's great, but a bit big even for 2.
Thanks Chris, aye it's not a bad tent, hopefully it will last a while 👍
Just bought the Iron Wall....sooooo tempted to get this bigger Rock Fortress for seats and beds for 2. Best of luck on the winter canoe trips... This hot tenting is going to open up the winter season
Hopefully it should make winter camping more comfortable! Thanks for watching mate 👍
another great video
Thanks mate 👍
Oh Man …. What a great video and review , need to buy this tent now :) I just got hammock hot tent from onetigris but this tent is much better , thank you for video and ATB !!!
Cheers! I like the look of the hammock hot tent too, this is the first OneTigris product I've bought and it all seems pretty good so far. ATB mate 👍
Nice bit of kit. Like the two doors for like you say uk conditions.
Best moment of the video is the look of terror on your face as the pheasant calls after dark. Hitchcock moment 😀👍🍺
Imagine if it was the same one, back for round 2 😂
@@Adventure-Outdoors and this time.... It's personal!
@@stevehomer3676 😂
Awesome video, I got a lot from it. I have the One Tigris Baker style, and, the One Tigris Iron wall hot tent, and I have showcased them both on my channel, and now that I have seen the Rock Fortress I will be getting one. The difference between with how I camp, is I use a motorcycle, and the .weight, and bulk of a tent is not a problem for me. I have never hiked into camp site before, but I think next year i will try one. I really enjoyed this video! Thanks
Thanks mate. You could probably park your motorcycle inside the Rock Fortress! I'm happy with the quality of the tent, I do like the look of the Baker style and the iron wall too, you know what they say; you can't have too many tents. Thanks for watching 👍
Great video 👍
Cheers mate 👍
Great video I enjoyed the stories and I love that tent! I don't think the pheasant realizes his place in the food chain, I wonder how pheasant would be in a tagine?
Great video again ! I have the stove.. I don't have that tent and now i want one !!! I tried the stove in my lavvu and nearly died of heat stroke.. really looking forward to your canoe trip mate. Im itching to get off out on mine but somewhere less romantic than Scotland.. my local canal 🤔👍🏻
Cheers Martyn, aye I've used the stove in a Lavvu before, on the banks of Loch Awe when it was -12 and I still had to keep the door open 😂 👍
Walking around the woods in the dark carrying an axe HAHA, not a good idea.. Have a subscription Sir, really enjoyed your video. I watched the episode first because I am buying that tent..
Thanks mate! It’s a great tent 👍
It's getting torturous watching your videos big guy! By the time you started eating your lamb tajine my stomach was growling away I had to get up and get a bag of crisps 🤣😂🤣
Apart from that great video and great looking winter tent.
Watch out for the psycho pheasants!
😂 Cheers mate. Slow cooked pheasant on the next video I reckon! 😂👍
great tent that. ive got the same wood burner and water boiler, works great. i beleave they do one with a glass door with vents now. thanks for shareing :)
Cheers Nell, aye I think the new ones also have a wider flue to help with the draw 👍
Lamb tagine. I like any meat baa lamb! 🤣🤣 nice vid mate 👍
🤣 Cheers mate 👍
Nice honest review.
Beaten up by a pheasant 😂 I once had a similar encounter with a grouse, but I think the dog kept him at bay.
Looking forward to seeing the tent in action! All the best, Paul.
Cheers Paul, it's rare that creatures from the bottom of the food chain go rogue and attack but it happens 😂. Hopefully the tent will be good for canoe camping. Atb mate 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors rarely do they survive to tell the tale 😂
I've got same stove as you, I'm desperate to get out in canoe and do some hot tenting.
Great video, yea I’ve been seeing a lot of positive reviews on the one Tigris rock fort. Whereabouts in the North east you from? I’m up in South Shields .
Cheers! Yeah it’s a great tent, after I made this video I used the tent for a weeks canoeing up in Scotland over Christmas with a titanium folding stove, the tent was spot on. From Sunderland originally, moved away a good while ago now though. Spent many a school holiday in South Shields back in the day 👍
Great video. I think that's a bargain! I agree though, those plastic rings on the guy lines definitely need changing and surprised they give those pegs with a tent that big. Apart from that, looks decent and clearly warm enough as you're in a tee shirt! My friend has bought an old farmhouse and a couple of hectares of land that he's allowing me to do some Bushcraft stuff (I know NOTHING about bushcraft) buti reckon a tent like this with a stove, especially here now with the cold, would be perfect. Hope to see it in more action on the canoe trip. As for ghosts in the woods, the thing that gets me every time is what I see in the sky! We're definitely not alone. Thanks again, great video. Watch out for killer partridges 😅😅😅
Cheers mate, it's a great tent! I noticed you were up in the mountains, sounds like a great place to relax for a while. I'd like to retire to an old farm, somewhere on the edge of the Pyrenees eventually, keep a few chickens and goats, grow a few olive trees etc.
I sat in the garden for a couple of hours last night under a clear sky testing out some cold weather clothing as it was below freezing, and you're right, there's some weird stuff going on in the skies!
Atb mate and enjoy the farmhouse 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors Sounds like you have the same dream as me, I'd love a small farmhouse up there. I'm currently south, not too far from Flix, but higher up. But yes, the Pyrenees is magical and you get all the seasons too. You can get cheap old farmhouses up there. There's one where I am now, 60k, acres and acres of land, house, all sorts of olive and fruit trees. Wish I could afford it, I'd snap his hand off! Keep looking for the 👽👽👽 ATB mate.
Enjoyed this bud. Did the Scottish winter canoe trip go ahead? Have you seen any of the Nortent offerings?
Thanks Dave, yes after this video we done a winter trip up north, the video is here - th-cam.com/video/6_zgFEEKXWI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=82fcVmsbhb_vXdSl. I have seen the Nortent tents, they look very good quality 👍
Love this tent, used it a few weeks at a time here in Pennsylvania during the winter, stakes are trash along with the supplied hot tent jack , that thing ripped out the first night , but other than that it works perfectly
Yeah it's a great tent. I've just bought the smaller Smokey Hut hot tent a couple of weeks ago to use on a cycle trip I've got planned, hopefully it will be as good as this one. Cheers! 👍
Nice little video buddy .....I was well happy with my Rock fortress on my last trip up to Scotland ....took a good beating from the wind and rain ....took it like a champ.
Did have the same issue as you with pegs, I just knocked some stakes up to sort that .
I used the identical stove on my trip which I borrowed from my old man ....but it is unmodified and it's a pig for filling the tent with smoke... I found it a right pain tbh . It was good to see what you've done to yours to improve it so I'll pass that info on to the old fella cheers . Well I'm looking forward to your next trip already ....hope you have a good one and you get the weather for it ...atb mate 🤙
Thanks mate. Aye I noticed you had the tent, good to hear it stood up to the wind. Did you have a camp bed inside? I'm looking at the OneTigris cot, looks compact enough for canoe camping and I reckon it would be better than sleeping on the ground.
Yeah the Frontier stoves aren't that great really, even with the mods it still annoys me. ATB mate 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors Yes mate I chucked a heavy duty builders membrane down as a ground sheet and used an old army camp bed to keep me off the ground, I'm not a fan of sleeping on the deck like, not in a forest location anyway ... far too many bugs in the leaf litter for it to be enjoyable 😂
Yeah my old man has given me permission to modify that stove for him .....but I think when I come to buy my own I'll be looking for something lighter weight with a bigger flue .
@@outdoorzyuk3131 I agree mate, sleeping on the deck is a bad idea without a fixed groundsheet. No one wants to pull a slug off their face in the morning 😂
nice review....you should use lemons cut in half and hang them on short string near the top of the tent.....it will keep flies and midges away and make a nice scent in the tent
Great review, I’ve recently purchased the original outbacker eco wide screen..I love the idea of the offset bend in the flu, can I asked where you got this from? or if you have a link to where you purchased it from it would be greatly appreciated 👍👍
Keep the videos coming the content is great, next purchase is hopefully a canoe 🛶 👍
Hi mate, here's the link to the step back flu - www.expedition-equipment.com/product/frontier-stove-step-back-flue/
Definitely get a canoe if you can, it will open up a new world of wild camping possibilities. Thanks for watching 👍
I love your videos, keep them coming ! Do you own the woodland where you camp or just manage it ?
Cheers! Yes it's owned by my family, it's not that big, just under 10 acres. Thanks for watching, ATB 👍
Enjoyed this video, just ordered one for myself as my first hot tent.
Did any rain cone in around the flue pipe? I’ve wondered about the flexible flue collars you can get, have you ever tried one?
Cheers
Hi, I don't think I've used the tent in heavy rain yet, but the odd shower has passed over and I didn't notice any water ingress. The flu exit has a roll up flap above it which will likely stop any rain running down through the exit.
I've used the rubber flue collars on other tents and I've got a couple off them in my garage but I don't think it would be worth fitting one to this tent. I hope you enjoy the tent 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors awesome, thanks a lot 👍
Great review, single pole Teepee style ticks a lot of boxes, thrive not just survive. Good choice. Disagree with you on the pegs though, I think they are OK and you should use them in normal soil they're sized for the tent like pressure relief better to pull a peg out than tear your tent .it's a fine line I learned the expensive way lol atb.
Thanks Roy. I think the pegs would be fine for string lines but they don't have any sort of catch for the buckle straps on the tent itself which are almost an inch wide, so the strap just slides off un hindered. Other than that, it's a canny tent! Atb mate.
thanks for the entertaining and informative vid! When it rained, did any water enter from the pipe opening? If so, did it drip down at all, just run along the tent roof and down the inner tent wall somewhere....or maybe it was so little and just evaporated away from the heat?
Hi, there was no problem with water ingress. I've used the tent a few times since in rain and although the odd drop gets through it's never been an issue. Condensation inside the tent has been the major problem! 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors your stoves (old and new) may have had a nice fit thru that ⛺️ jack (3.3").
I got the winnerwell Nomad (medium) w/ 2.5" diam pipe and will need to test out w/a garden hose in the backyard after my rock fortress arrives.
Great video. You would get a much better draw on the stove if you go with straight pipe. Each 90 degree slows the air flow by 50%.
Cheers mate 👍
Great video, thanks!! 👍 By the way I liked that grey cup, would love to know what brand it is? 😂 And when will we see another Hilux adventure?
Cheers Roy 😂. We'll hopefully get away next year, but who knows, I don't fancy travelling much with all of this covid crap going on. Have you managed to get away in the truck anywhere? I know a few people who've been to Spain and Portugal without issues but hat was in the middle of summer.
@@Adventure-Outdoors unfortunately we've had two failed attempts for portugal but 3rd time lucky... Booked for may next! Good work on the bush craft type videos, it's all good watching, keep up the good work and looking forward to a Hilux adventure! 👍👍
Like yourself a great tent.
Disappointed no ground sheet.
Am wondering what the best options are to get a suitably sized ground sheet for this awesome tent.
Love the vicious pheasant story. We have them here - the feamles eat out of my hand :)
The male keeps his distance but happily takes the food I throw him.
I reckon the only ground sheet option is to use a tarp, maybe cut to size? It would add extra weight but maybe cut to half the size for your bed area etc. would work out ok and the other half would be bare earth for the wood burner. Thanks for watching mate 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors Cheers mate.
Came across your channel yesterday :)
Solely on the basis of the tent video. Just bought one myself and bar the above, really like it.
Packing a Winnerwell Stove. Looking forward to trying the "package" come Nov/Dec.
Look forward to the new videos.
you can buy a half inner for it with bug net and ground sheet mate
Lovin the tent ... Just bought one.... Where did you get your offset flu pipe.... Also weirdly I've found titanium or indeed metal gives red wine a nasty taste
Hi mate, here's the link for the off set flu - www.expedition-equipment.com/product/frontier-stove-step-back-flue/

Hi guys from were can i get this tent I'm tierd of searching this tent.
My wife bought me a mug that says ‘boss’ on it but it’s the same. Nobody knows I’m the boss cos I’m right handed. I thought she was taking the piss!
How is this tent holding up? My concern is the top of the tent where the pole is wearing out. Any issues?
Hi, I used it over the winter for a 7 day canoe trip and the only issue I had was sparks from the burner melting through the top of the tent. The bag that the pole comes in has a reinforced bottom and that goes over the pole to help prevent wear on the tent 👍
@@Adventure-Outdoors Thanks mate. Sounds like you need more extensions on your chimney flue.
Are you Durham or Sunderland??
Yeq mate
What is the hat your wearing it looks amazing ??
Ha, thanks! It's a Fjallraven Byron hat, here's a link 👍 -

😂 cheers mate 👍
where is the location ?
