Cheap Backpacking Tent vs A STRONG STORM
Have you ever wondered what it’ll be like to camp in an ultra cheap, $NZ18 ($US12, £11) Kmart Anko tent during a strong storm? I been wondering exactly same thing as well. So, I went out and did exactly that. I must admit though, the storm was more than I bargained for lol, but a massive test for the $18 Kmart Anko Dome tent! I hope you enjoy my WILD experience and review…⛺️💦💨😀

Ever wondered what it’s like to camp in a wild storm in a cheap $18 tent? Well here’s what happened…
I'm calling it first "CONGRATULATIONS" Barry for getting to 1,000 subscribers this week! This is no easy feat and a commendable achievement for any New Zealand creative working in our chosen genre of outdoor adventures, I'm just so happy for you buddy.
@@OutdoorsmanDave ohhhh, that’s so kind! THANK YOU DAVE. I really pleased that we have connected and have been able to share or successes and challenges as we seek to help others safely enjoy the Great Outdoors. Oh and btw, you’ll be at 1000 very soon too!
Love your videos thanks :). Just a note on this tent, I too decided to test the same kmart tent, last year. I took it for 3 days on Stewart Island (having used it several places before). I discovered that, my tent was always full of sandflies...and I didn't give it much thought, until I carefully watched one morning. The insect screen is slightly larger, made for Australia. The sandflies fit perfectly through the mesh! Grrrr! Otherwise, for $18 pretty good! :). Thanks again.
Oh wow! Thanks for letting me know. Now that you mention it, I did notice the mess was slightly wider than normal. Hmmm that’s not good for sandfly prone areas.
Reminds me of a certain cloth mask and a certain virus.
I got the same tent for $14 at Kmart here in Perth, & it's great for the beach! It also has a UV protection rating of 95+! I'm 5' 8" tall, so there was enough space for ME!
Glad you enjoy it. ⛺️😁
Sweet, getting this for some driving-and-camping :D
Sounds like a good plan. ⛺️🚙👍🏼
Hi Barry, just a brilliant video. Great choice of content and when I saw the title I just had to watch it straight away.... Love your sense of humour and as usual I can see the effort you made with this one like all of your others with excellent editing... ATB and congratulations you your views and subscribers. Tom
Thank you Tom! I always appreciate your feedback snd support. 😀 Congrats too on being the Tent Review Guy who always provides honest and informative vids on quality tents.
Love this. Its amazing how much snobbery and silly stuff goes on about tents. The vast majority of camping is summer fair weather camping and a cheap dome tent can handle this with aplomb. If you want it to be stronger and more water proof then you can can seam seal and spray it, swap the poles for alu and stitch stronger guying points. I mean why does everyone have to have a super expensive tent? LONG LIVE the humble dome tent.
Thanks! Yes, it’s quite refreshing to know you don’t need a storm proof tent for every trip you go on. All the best.
Interesting test, Wild Mountain Man! It's good to see how a cheap tent does when the wind picks up.
Yes, indeed. I was impressed with what you can get for $18!
Nice test, suitable for festivals. Surprised it hold out as well as it did. See rain being a problem.
Yes you’re right! I was half expecting it to fold up on me during the storm, but no it didn’t. All the main tent walls are seam sealed and the floor seems pretty waterproof too. Incredible for $18. ⛺️👍🏼
Great review and another great video, keep it up
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. ⛺️💨😬
Mum got the 4 persons dome tent from Coles. It's huge and we set it up but a few hrs later she wants it unpacked because a servere storm is coming and she's scared it's going to rip the tent. I'm so annoyed but this vid helps.
Lol! That’s funny. I wasn’t far from a hut as I also didn’t know exactly how well this tent would survive in the short storm. Pleasantly surprised though. Stay safe. ⛺️👍🏼
Great honest review. I guess if you’re on a budget you could modify this tent with a few guy ropes to beef it up. For $18 it’s worth a look if you want to try camping.
Agreed. For $18 and some guy lines etc, you could make it work in good conditions.
Packhorse...lovely! I would love to see some more of these with other gear! love it
Thanks. :) The Packhorse Hut is good because it’s not far to go and it’s pretty exposed by there when the wind picks up. Exactly what sort of other videos would you like to see?
@@wildmountainman1 Anything that would help me set up my tramping kit. For example, when I was looking for a mattress it was really hard to know what the different costs were and the pros and cons of each such as foam, inflatable, self inflating of both full and half. I was looking for videos like this to get a local perspective on gear but I would love to see how cheap head torches compare with the good ones. I recently got some dry bags from Kmart and they are not too bad, heavier but much cheaper.
I cant wait to see your next video :)
Ok, cool. That’s good to know. Thanks for the feedback. 👍🏼
Saw your FB post jumped over to hit the button. Congrads.
Thanks very much! I subbed to your channel as well. All the best! 😀
excellent thanks - i wanted to know how theyd go in the rain - cheers
Thanks Marty. Yes, as you saw, it went far better than I thought it would. I think think though it’s a very fair-weather tent. Have fun. ⛺️😁👍🏼
Legendary
Thanks. It was certainly a lot of fun. ⛺️👍🏼😀
That was much better than I expected… still I won’t give up my current tent.
Yes, I was semi-expecting it to collapse, that’s why I didn’t unpack my gear until after the storm. For $18 though, it’s great value for money.
Great review, I guess in all honesty, if you came out alive after a rough night like that, it's the best 18 dollars you can spend😎
Yeah it was a wild storm. It didn’t last long, but was hair raising for my first time in a $18 tent. And no, it didn’t come with guy lines as I wanted to test it as is straight out of the box. Guy lines would certainly help though. Lol.
thank you for this video! was wondering how much leakage there would be from both the top and back vent in heavy rain.
Hi there. In strong wind and rain, the top vent was fine however since wind was coming from the rear, the back vent did leak a bit. All round though, a good tent in summer type conditions.
This is a good laugh to watch
Ha. Thanks. 😀
How the hell did you sleep in that thing with that weather. Wow.
Thanks Steve. Fortunately the storm only latest an hour or so otherwise I certainly wouldn’t have got to sleep. 😁
What's a Tint?
Now you can give away your Hillebergs!
🤣🤣🤣 yeah nahhh :)
Fantastic I appreciated ur videos 👍
Happy to see u friend I stay connected with U🥰❤🙋♂️
Thank you. Glad you liked it. :)
Where was it filmed?
In Canterbury, New Zealand by Sign of the Packhorse Hut.
Whaaaa???? I thought your next tent was going to be a Black Label Soulo.
Lol! I must admit, I’m happy with my Red Label Soulo. ⛺️👍🏼😀
poor design choice not to be able to close the back vent
Yes agreed.
You're a wag, my dear Watson and you do have nice skin.
Is that a compliment? Lol
@@wildmountainman1 Yes, I do give them out to special people from time to time
😬😬😬
@@wildmountainman1 Outdoorsman Dave is a great guy, I am subscribed to his channel and he's genuinely good value.
Haha. Yes, I actually know Dave, hence why his cheeky comment to me. And yes, he’s a good guy. 😬👍🏼
