Onetigris is the first tent company that I turned to, after realizing that I was getting too old to build a lean to, or A frame every time I spent a week in the woods. When I got the Black Orca Smokey Hut, I was in love. And, I really like this tent here: I think that I would have it configured the way you had it. I think it's going to do great on your review! Stay safe out there and God bless!
Love the versatility! Reminds me of my old walrus trecker tarp. This one is taller. I've been seeking a replacement for years! I think this is it! Great for desert and mountain camping where mosquitoes really aren't an issue.
I’m two min in and I love that the polls don’t have that stupid rubber bungee cords in them that eventually dry out and crack then break! Love this tent! 💯✌🏻🇨🇦
A heavy beast of a tarp.
I bought the OneTigris Bungalow 2.0 after you reviewed it and I love it. It withstood one of the heavy rains we had here recently...Hurricane Isaias. I would think that due to the greater expanse of tent material in the Roc Shield it could be an issue with heavy rain and snow. However, as you suggested, angling the poles could promote run-off. Snow would definitely present you with weight bearing problems motivating you to constantly scrape or beat the interior walls to shake the snow off. It's still an awesome looking shelter and I especially like the second configuration you set up. I can already envision an overland camping set up where you can place table, chairs, a cot under the "awning" and you just kick back and enjoy a BBQ/fire pit just beyond the edge of the awning. Awesome review, Luke, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the results of the prolonged rain test. I bought one of those straw folding mats that Walmart sells and based on your measurements I believe it would fit in the tent floor area. I use this mat under an Aqua Quest 10X10 tarp allowing me to walk around with socks on or even bare feet; and I can hop out of my hammock and not worry about touching dirt or wet ground. When I get home I just drape it over my back fence and it'll dry out in an hour or so after hosing it off. No worries about splinters, rocks or ants. Your taking the time to actually measure lengths, widths and heights is an incredible aid to us who are concerned about these measurements. It really helps us in the decision process...so, thank you for that. If I recall I believe you are the only reviewer who does that.
I own two under quilts for hammock camping by one Tigris. Great price for the product. $50 vs $200 from other companies. I’m not spending a fortune for a few weeks of camping each year. Happy to see one tigris making a name for themselves. I would recommend their under quilts
I love that they're trying something new. Although for me, I would probably take a big tarp for the 3 pounds it weighs...
Those stake loops can be easily fixed with small loops of shock cord - do that to a lot of my gear, especially inners.
I’m hoping to pick one of these up, out of stock on Amazon unfortunately. Though OneTigris seems to have them in stock. Hoping to see more of this tent on your channel Luke. Thanks for the demo!
That way you have it setup is so spacious. I grew up fishing in upstate NY in the fall...random pop up showers and squalls up that way i guess because of the lake effect. That would be cool to have near a fire with some camp chairs underneath to get dry in a hurry without everyone having to button up in their tents. We would use tarps and things but it was always difficult to find good tie offs at the campground and if the wind picked up it wasnt much help anyway.
Cool like how Versatile it is. A bit heavy to hump in but for canoe / ATV it would,d be sweat. Thanks for the update looking forward to your review.
I really LIKE this tent!!!
Hey Luke, thank you for the review! I like
OneTigris, they've good products and friendly budget.
BTW, I want to buy my first (normal) tent, which will fit me size and comfort and be budget friendly, I want your advice please if possible to do a review on the Naturehike Cloud Up 2 or 3 (there's couple different versions) and Naturehike Star River. It'll be awesome buddy, thank you!
I think that's the tent I need!🤘💯
Thanks for review love the pic looks slightly concerned no floor always rains when I camp
Nice video. Thank you for sharing it. You have my support. :)
Amazing tent
Very interesting tent indeed and I agree with other comments that it really is a 3 season tent. Could see lots of uses for it. Looking forward to the test night.
That looks like it would be great for back country base camping in a spruce grove. I usually only go in about 2 to 4 miles for base camping, so the weight would be heavy, but doable. I could walk around easily under that. Looking forward to test night.
Nice tent need to get one in the future 👍🏻
LOVE it! Love the versatility - great for Florida weather...well, minus hurricanes! Ha!
With no screens- in Florida? That's kind of a deal breaker for me.....yeah, you can add your own but this isn't a cheap tent as it is.......it IS big though.
@Heart Throb Not to mention Jake the Snake, since there's no floor either.....the more I look at it the more this thing seems like a big expensive heavy, bulky and complicated tarp.
I use a screened bivey - it's so nice and well ventilated for the hot humid weather!
Pretty Cool, at that weight probably more of a car camping tent. Would have liked it more had they included some zip in screen walls
The Golite Shangri-la tents were just the greatest tents in the history of forever.
Very cool!
Love that you did a preview. Cant wait for the full review. So far loving the whole aspect of the design. In Louisiana it never gets that cold. So im looking forward to possibly getting me one. Looks like it will work great with a cot. Keep up the good work.
As soon as my daughter seen this she said " that looks like your tarp set up". I would love to get something like this.
Nothing like it except the DD SuperLite A-Frame...which can be used over a hammock as well.
Hello you should look at the Luxembourg Hiking Gear tents.
Wow, I really like this thanks for posting!! Big fan of your channel I love the honesty!!
Would call this a tarp instead of a "tent". As a tarp goes this is pretty sweet. As a tent not so much.
That thing is huge! OneTigris impresses me with the way they are creating very affordable shelters, the quality seems good, and their designs are unique. They're heavy and I see them more as a car camping design, but I do think they're pretty cool.
Can you take a look at the kodiak canvas swag tent. It looks like a very cozy tent and were heading into that time of the year.
Great vid. I have a OneTigris tent that I really like. I hope your daughter is doing well in the USN. MMC(SS) USN Ret.
That's a cool tent ⛺
Would work great here in the New Mexico high desert.
I love the tent .
I’d have 2 long poles in the main tent and 1 for the porch area but lower than the main area ,
with guylines making a plough at the front .
Giving it an almost zero steer foot print .
Strength true and honour .
This tent almost appears to be a high tech, very versatile tarp. The size and versatility is impressive. However, being a summer only tent, for the most part, the lack of bug netting would be an issue for me. Although netting can be added, having it integrated would be much more convenient and perform better than an adhoc addition of secondary netting. I understand that having integrated netting would create significant limitations to the tent's versatility and add complexity to the tent's design, but I would sacrifice some versatility for the comfort and setup ease provided by integrated netting.
Swiss army knife of tents?! Like the pole option.
Thanks for the review. You can do a lot of setups with a simple rectangular tarp as well, so I wonder if this might just be an over engineered solution looking for a problem.
Yea, I'm impressed with the design. Not sure it would suit the type of camping I like to do. But is rather innovative. Kudos to OneTigris for thinking outside the box. I'm also intrigued with the Outback Retreat. Looking forward to your review of it.
You can make something just like this from two 10'x10' tarps. Search for double adirondack shelter.
Luke that set up looks a lot like a whelen shelter with a much longer canopy
I need to see the storm test for this! I looked for, but didn't see one, even though you said you would do one. It's been 3 years bro
No hard feelings but I'm glad it leaked on you. Because now I can tell my buddy not to buy the thing. Because he was going to buy . it actually look like a good design
I love the design, shape and versatility of this one. I can see in my mind many ways to use it. But 7lbs! Not exactly a lightweight setup. Maybe for a couple, or a longer camp with a car. But it wouldn't be practical for backpacking.
This tent gives me Luxe Twinpeaks vibes!
Right, half the price, but not set up for a stove 😫
Exactly what I thought.
Where. How can I get one of these?
@@mattdalton8149 try googling luxe hiking gear and it should pop right up!
I installed a stove jack on mine for hot tent camping. Cheaper alternative to luxe!
@@ethanherd2934 really?? How did you finish the seam where you cut the silpoly. I made a diy stove jack for my hammock shelter. I just used tenacious tape around my cut to stop fraying, but any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like it would even work for a hammock camping with the doors on either end
Looks like enough room under there for a real tent. Bugs would drive me nuts in that thing, and it's a short ride. 7 lbs.! I'd take my TC2P over it.
Thought I was going to dislike this but it's great!
What happened with the German Army groundsheet? You had talked about putting loops on the corners to stake it down. Do you still use it? I would like to know what you think of it.
Luxe hiking gear has a tent very similar to this tent. They call it the twinpeak.
With the side opened up it reminds me of our old (early 70's) canvas Boy Scout tents, one called the Baker and the other was the Camper.. They both weighed over 20 pounds and you had to make your own poles at the campsite. I like this tent!
...GOOD ONE, GREAT INFO..KEEP SAFE..
Great first look! Not something that I would get but I can see where it has its place for some folks. Smart move making it so that it has multiple configurations. Looking forward to seeing the videos of the Outback Retreat...Cheers!
A reasonable flexi-pitch basic tent selling within a basic tent price range. I need an inclosed tent with a no-see-um screen and a bathtub floor to start to be impressed...because those protections make me emotionally and physically comfortable outdoors. I AM IMPRESSED by the amount of space under shelter! Your tips about changing the poles up to alter the roofline point to a benefit about not having every set of poles shock-corded. This is also IMPRESSIVE for those of us who might deploy it over a raised bed. NEW WRINKLE ON AN OLD BROW: I make reinforced frames for this type of tent using PVC plumbing pipes and associated joints: extra ribs help to maintain the cover geometry and to provide snow load support. DOWNSIDE: a level pitching surface is required, such as a platform built on a favorite site.
PRETTY COOL & INTERESTING ! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW IT DOES IN HEAVY DOWN POUR & WIND . THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Could be cool for a fishing/hunting shelter or some kinda back yard party bbq tent. Not my cup of tea though. I could literally hear the mosquito's and ticks licking their lips as you set it up ;(
I want at least one side to have that extra panel zip out to make it modular (zip in a bug net section, clear panel, stove jack panel, or none to make it lighter). Failing that, I'm still looking at the Tangram. Thanks, buddy. Stay well.
Nice looking tent Luke! Though I could see where maybe in heavy rain it would not be so great because to me it would look like the rain would come in underneath. It don't really look much like a tent to me, but more like a very well made tarp. I never seen a tent like that before.
I want one to go with my hammock!
Was this ever tested? was a follow up review done? I can't find it if it was?
I commented a year ago hoping for the review and still nothing. Came back to comment in the hopes he publishes it.
When I was in scouts 50 + years ago we used to do something similar with our heavy canvas wall tents, extra poles and a couple of tarps. We were endlessly finding ways to make totally new tent designs out of the materials we had. This is a very similar concept. I like this tent because it allows the user to adapt to his or her needs. Kids could have a ball with this camping. They could make it big enough to hold several friends at one time.
One set up in the video reminds me of the 1960s BSA Canvas Baker Tent. Our Troop in NH in the 1960s used the BSA Canvas Explorer Tent.
Jeff Murdock, if a good wind would hit one of those old Baker tents on the door side it might blow to the next county. Ha. I owned a Explorer tent. I really liked that tent. I still love canvas tents. Today I use a 10 by 14 Kodiak Canvas Flexbow VX. It is so much better than we had in the 60s.
My Troop in NJ used the canvas cabin style tents as well. No floors, just old swimming pool liners as ground sheets.
The BSA Explorer tent, due to its design did better in wind & winter conditions than Wall tents or Baker tents.
Pretty steep walls. I'd think snow accumulation on the tent wouldn't be much. It should drift or slough off as it falls.
I love that design! I just really want bug netting, but as you said, it can be added.
I wouldn't necessarily consider it a tent more like a giant tarp. How i do like the different set ups you can do with the 1 tarp/tent. Good luck with the heavy rain in a tent with no floor
Very nice review please keep them coming
Evening, stopped the video at 800 mins. Lads over in England only use this in good weather. It's not for bad weather. But thanks for sharing buddy. Tc Andy 👍😁🇬🇧
Alright Luke I'm waiting! North Carolina......Smoky Mountain trail.....camper eaten by bear!!!!! Your thoughts? I would have a nervous breakdown out where you and Susie hike. Most of my outdoor experience comes from Golden Gate Park in the City or if I really want something more rural.......Knowland Park.....Oakland, Lolololol. I get scared FOR you guys!
Pole caps looks like Pawn Chess pieces
I went down the rabbit hole after I watched this episode. As this video is 3yrs old, OneTigris has updated and made a second version of this tent which is not only a hot tent with snow skirts, but it is more like a canvas material. For truck camping, fantastic. So I bought one and I love it.
I have a Kelty TN2 tent that I enjoy, but heavily considering this tent for the purposes of my motorcycle camping. This seems like it’s big enough that I can fit my motorcycle (Moto Guzzi V7) under the awning to protect it front the elements. Do you think the Outback would do well with what I’m looking for, or should I be looking at this one? Lots of versatility here, just not sure about the size. Also, I’d have to get a mosquito net since this doesn’t have a mesh wall. Any recommendations with those?
Looks cool But don't see the concept of a bottomless tent.. In a setting like this being of flat grass looks ok. In the woods with uneven ground, possible rain, bugs etc... No thanks
Looks like it would work well for truck camping but not so much for the backpacker. I'm not into UL so much but 7 lbs seems a bit excessive; my current multi-purpose is about 2.5 lbs and sometimes that feels a bit heavy. I do like the "outside the box" design but I can't see who their target market might be. Maybe truck campers on weekend getaways?
Interesting from a "MotoCamp" view! Slightly healthier than I would like. Can't wait for the Overnight vid Luke!! 🤙❤🇨🇦
Might work for car camping but too big and heavy for backpacking. Seems innovative, versatile and spacious. Don’t think it would be very wind worthy. However, probably won’t be any forest left to camp in after the fire season is over in Northern California where I live.
Good review- impressive versatility and roominess BUT the lack of screening is a deal breaker for me. As you say, it can be added- but it's not an inexpensive tent as is.....also I'm not sure what role it fills- it's certainly too bulky for backpacking, and if I'm car camping there's all sorts of options which seem to me to be better and cheaper.
I would call this a glorified tarp system, not a tent since no inner bug net. I'm not sure of the designation but I just don't call anything that is still open as a tent but a tarp. Happy trails! Love the vids!
Very impressive tent...really like the roominess of it just wish it had a floor
Weight? Clearly too big to backpack far. Versatility sometimes lends itself to poor performance anywhere, although you seem favorably impressed. Seems his would be fine for truck camping if it is a good product. I have concerns about how much water it will soak up in a big, long term rain, even if it is water proof. I wonder what the weight difference would be before and after the rain? That’s a lot of material to hump. Texas
$160?!? That’s a little expensive for not even having a floor. I prefer a hammock and tarp myself. To each their own. Thanks for the review! Your reviews are really good.
Interesting... not sure I'd get one though. Size and weight seem to make it a "car camping " kind of tent. And on top of that it is limited to calm weather, minimal rain, minimal bugs, type of situation. So while it may be versatile in setup, it seems to me to be limited in applications, which FOR ME, is a deal breaker. There are plenty of other car camping type tents that offer better protection from elements and bugs AND easier setup. While they are definitely heavier in weight, in a car camping situation, the additional weight is worth the easier setup and better protection. I definitely don't see this as being lightweight enough or compact enough to make it desirable for backpacking. I'm not sure where it would fit in my personal gear rotation but... that's just me
The poles are interesting because I just last night made a set of four 45" poles for my Backwoods Bungalow 2.0. I used .330 aluminum and the set comes in at under 1lb. I made both ends on the poles male so that they would stick in the ground a bit.
Really surprised that some of these companies haven't tried to recruit you as a R&D Director for their shelter systems. You could make some of them tons of money.
When are you going to come out with your own tent, like a lot of the you tube bushcraft people have their own knife? If you were to commission one company to produce the "TOGR shelter system", who would you want to build it?
Very cool versatility! But at 160 bucks and have to find a bug screen...i would have to stay traditional. That said, I like the setup uniqueness!
Weird little thing. To me, it's more of a tarp than a tent. But as you say, with bug mesh it could be a laugh in the summer. But too heavy as an all in one solution. On that, Luke, when might you review something like a Hubba hubba Solo? I'd love to see your views on them, especially as I have one :D
It’s nice but a little too much for what I use one for. Great for atv or car camping with another person. Plenty of room and gear storage that way. I will stick to my backwoods bungalow2.0.
IMO , it is too heavy for what you get . Just get a lightweight tarp , and you can be much lighter and still use a bug net or a tent inner . Each his own . But not for me . Oh , for winter ?! Never happen G.I. !!! Stay safe out there .. gubs
Hiya hope you are well. Like the set up on this and thanks for explaining the options. Did you do one of your full reviews on this? My son was gifted one of these and now I am starting camping when lockdown ends so I just wanted to know your thoughts on it. I am an old git and would like some warmth to get me through the night 😂
All the best and love your videos 👍
It looks great, but i struggle to see how its defined as a tent. It looks more like a super engineered tarp. Too many weaknesses. Bugs, Snakes, lack of air flow when zipped up, nothing to stop water from seeping across the ground. Am i missing something? Unless it has additional accessories, you need another tent to put inside it.
where are they manufactured?
I am waiting for the full review before getting one, As a tarp/awning for car/van camping this would be almost perfect. But no bying till you try to break it
A tarp... looks like it would be great if you come across a bug-free, rain-free, perfect climate location. But it looks like another tent would be necessary to make it truly useful.
Too open for me. We have plenty of snakes in South Africa but fewer bugs, Thanks for taking me ouitside when the Powers that be tie me up inside..
Onetigris tried to get me to buy another copy of their product after I left bad review on amazon. Sorry if something isn't as advertised I will call you out on it. I'm not going to spend my own money to see if you fixed the problem.
I love the design but that size/weight XD But it's still really awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome review as usual. The tent however is not my thing. The weight, wind challenge, lack of a bug net, and the set up fussiness are turnoffs. But it depends on how you want to use it. A lighter simpler tent works for me.
I see it as a fun and fancy tarp setup or rainfly rather than a tent. I guess that is why they call it a bushcraft tent. I don't want to have to put up a bug-tent inside my supposed "tent". Ground runoff water from the rain will flow right through it and you will hopefully be on another tarp that you will be trying to keep the water off of, or hey, put up a real tent with a floor under this tent. Snakes, mice, ants, and other crawly things will love getting under this with you.
Still waiting on the Fjallraven Abisko View 2 review...
Hello Luke! Hope all is well, question; What happened with the rest of your follow up videos on this product? Hope to see them soon.
Luke to tell the truth first i thank it looks pretty good and a person can put it to what's livable and just looking and watching you put it together I'm starting to like but this right now but you haven't been able to really test it out but this is my thoughts.
And thanks for the show and tell keep cool and peace to you all. ✌
Looks good for car-camping because of the weight. The lack of any kind of apron inside is a concern. I can see it being cold inside in any sort of breeze or even light wind.
