  • I bought the OEX Bobcat 1 tent, with the OEX Expedition tarp.
    In this video I set them up in the garden, have a good look over them, and share my first impressions.
    I was particularly keen to see how much head room there is inside, and get a sense of whether there's enough room in it for filming vlogs. And generally I wanted to see how it feels as I'd like to wild camp in it.
    Check out also my review of the OEX Coyote 3 tent: • OEX Coyote 3 tent | fi...

    Really good review ! Just what I wanted. I've been looking at compact tents for months ready for next year and this review has finally made my mind up. I agree it's so important to be able to sit up inside. I had a "coffin tent" once and it had to go. At Go Outdoors, they have the Bobcat 1 on display and the moment I tightened a guy line it fell apart as you mentioned. So I worked out, as you did, to use a double knot. Much better to have this sorted before camping on a dark wet night ! So thanks again.

    I used to work at GO outdoors Manchester, I bought one of the first editions of the bobcat's predecessors, the North ridge col, I've camped in the winter in it and can say in all honesty that it's a very warm tent for winter camping. I butchered mine and modified it, getting it down from 1.9kg to 1.6kg......which became the col lite. (I got no acknowledgement for its design) there are still improvements to be made but for the price it's a great tent.

I look forward to the proper test when all things are clear. I've used Six Moons Design and Nordisk for some years and so it has to be light for me but this was great.

    I've been so on the fence with this tent but this is the most informative review I've seen so far, no one else has measured it! I'm 185cm (but skinny) so this might be the slightest bit too tight, might have to chance going to one of the outdoors shops to see if they have it on display.

    • @My24hradventure
      @My24hradventure  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, at 185 you'll definitely benefit from seeing it from the inside. I would guess that it's a bit too small for you. Go Outdoors usually have them on display. Good luck mate 👍and thanks for the kind feedback.

    This is the best demo and review of the bobcat 1 I've seen so far, I'm in the market for another tent and have been thinking about this, although every man and his dog has one now 🤣😂 Good tent for the money, I struggle with my Terra Nova Zephyros 1 , zero space inside although there's enough room for kit in the vestibule... I purchased it on impulse because it only weighs 1. 5KG but another 500g won't make much difference I suppose. Cheers Lee

    • @My24hradventure
      @My24hradventure  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Yes space is an issue. I've used this tent now a handful of times and invariably in the middle of the night when I need an item (torch, water, etc) I can never find things. This is because any movement when sleeping, pushes your belongings around so they're never where you left them. And the side pockets are very slack so everything falls out. But the tent does have charm and I really like it!

      Hi Crow, cheers for the sub and the feedback!
      It's now a couple of months and 5 or 6 wild camps since I got this tent so I can give a bit more of a review: the tent has a lot of charm. I like it a lot. It's my go-to tent for sure. But, and this needs to be emphasised, it's much smaller than I originally perceived it to be. So that's the only drawback. Otherwise a great little tent! If you decide to go for it I do recommend seeing all set up at a showroom first. I'll got and check out your channel now... Atb Jonathan

    Now that is a professional review!
    It's interesting that you bought it partially on the basis of the olive colour in the ads, too! I was thoroughly disappointed, maybe even annoyed that they had intentionally made it a more attractive colour in the ads.
    I've just bought the Onetigris Tangram which looks to be a take/design off the 3f UL 2 man lanshan. I'm keen to go ultra light with natural colour, so I'm hoping Onetigris end up doing a version of the Lanshan 1 in coyote brown.

There's always going to be a tent out there that's just a bit greener 🤢. But that Tangram looks very nice - please do a review if you get the chance! 😀👍

I camped at weekends during lockdown down .. it was Awesome with the tarp up .. as weather was not good .. had tons of frost one night but was super warm in the tent thanks to the tarp .. next year I’m getting a vango banshee 300 .. for camping with Sam .. plus thinking of a DD tarp tent tipi ..or the Hex peak v4a tipi ... cheers Chris & Sam

    Thanks for your review. I think the OEX tents are proper gems. I have a Rakoon, it is well made, feature rich and versatile. On the downside there are a couple of points (but what do you expect for an £80 tent?) Firstly is it is heavy, but Im not paying megabucks to save weight so I can cope with that. The second didnt become apparent until I was pitched on Mam Tor and went for a walk. From 100 metres away, my headtorch caught the tent - it shines like a light house adn probably explained why Id been asked to move on from a quite stealthy location on a previous camp. The guylines reflect light and there is a strip along the base of the tent that does the same. Ive actually spray painted over the white markings and replaced the guylines with 2mm black paracord - its not super neat but is way more stealthy.
    Ive subscribed and liked, and Ill check out some more of your channel!

Not Light brownish, but all Ads for the Bobcat, Rakoon, Jackal & Coyote I've seen still show them in a beige colour & not green...!😄 It also says Durable ripstop fabric, but I don't believe it is as I have a ripstop fly tent, but the Rakoon etc just have an embossed/printed patten on the fly as if to mimic ripstop fabric...? Correct me if I'm wrong...!🤔 Oh & lantern point(s), but there's only one above one door, other than that it's pretty good, but would have to use with tarp if raining, as be wet inside if doors open...

    Very good review mate 👍 Well described and you showed all important in your video, incl. some useful details and also your experience and feeling about the tent. I bought the same tent just @ two weeks ago and finally tested in our garden last week - used the good weather for a wee garden camping to make my daughter happy ( used this new Bobcat and my older OEX Jackall II ). My experience with the tent is similar to yours. Before bought this Bobcat I was considering the new Phoxx I, which had a bit better reviews, but I felt that it would be maybe a bit wider inside, but too low and also very small storage area without any ground sheet next to the tent so for my needs I would prefer the Bobcat where I can sit and have all my stuff in the bigger storage area kept clean and protected on the extra ground sheet there. Like you, I wanted one man tent for some solo adventures because of the less weight and better colour as my older OEX Jackal is red and weight @ 3kgs, so will use it when camping two people, but the lighter and nature more friendly Bobcat ( by the colour ), for solo wild camping. I was also happy to see the nice and more natural green colour on the web site, then a little disappointed by the difference, but still a good colour, nice green and looks fresh, just less camouflage...I'm happy with the tent, really good to sit there and be able to cook and eat comfortable, also keep my gear dry and clean, the only minus is that the sleeping area is narrow ( at least for me so this is individual and depends on everyone's body size ). Happy overall and looking forward to test in in the wilderness when we will finally use the outdoors fully ;-) All the Best and keep posting, good channel. Petr

As far as the phoxx goes, my thoughts are that it's literally just for sleeping in. Not relaxing in. And I believe the jackal is very much like the bandicoot which I have too.

      Hi, yes it's a shame they used this images, it's so misleading. That said, I took the tent out for a wild camp last friday night (just to the woods down the road from where I live) and the tent is good. I think I'll use it a lot over the next few months.

      Hi Ben, thanks for that! Yes I've taken it out loads so now I have a really good sense of what it's like. It's best feature is that it's compact and quick to set up. But it is small, that needs to be emphasised. There's no way getting around that. I'm 5'10 and it's just about ok but a bit frustrating. But everything is subjective so do have a look at it in a showroom if you can. Cheers Jonathan

      At first it was just a random impulse buy, which I immediately regretted.

But now that I've slept in the new tent 4 or 5 times I'm actually quite excited about it.
