You folded the tent really well dude but from what I know this Kiwi tent the cross members need to be on the top so you don’t strain the plastic connectors holding them
Many campsites have (drainage) rocks even hidden beneath the grass areas. My suggestion is to carry some 6 inch nails on the bike . They are excellent at getting a secure pitch. Fix a small loop or paracord on each peg though ... so you have a way of pulling em out afterwards. I'm a gear nerd, I bought titanium ones; but steel nails still work great! The high nylon walls of the inner tent allow good protection from cold winds , even though lots of ventilating mesh is used. If you buy a cheap alloy pole (£12) online, it can be split into a pair and used as supports to convert the door (s) into a sun awning or rain cover with a few extra guy lines and stakes !
@joshuASKjones The cross poles have to be on top of the "ridgeline" pole. The way you are setting it up, you put alot of stress on the plastics which connect the cross poles to the ridgeline pole.
Are you still using this tent? I got one a while back but then got a Big Agnes bikepacking tent that I used on the Colorado BDR. My gear was stolen from a locked vehicle on our last night and I am thinking about trying this tent out full-time for ADV rides. My issue is going from a sub-3 pound tent to a 7 pound tent and where to pack it in a Mosko Moto Reckless 80 setup
Hi! Yes actually i still use this tent to this day! It has been my go-to tent ever since. I’ve tried others but this one just works so well, it’s fast to setup and break down, and also for two person camping, it’s really an awesome setup with the mirror sides and I’ve just grown to love it more and more. I’ve run it with my reckless 80, I have strapped it in across the front and/or back of the Beaver tail and it holds well there. I don’t really notice the weight, and I’ve just shaved weight elsewhere in my pack. I’ve added a little more weight because i use thicker spikes to stake it down. The aluminum ones that come with it are pretty weak, so that’s the only adjustment I’ve made.
@@joshuaskjones1571 excellent! I have shaved a lot of weight from my kit, so hopefully I won't notice it when I get into more technical riding areas Thanks for the reply!!
How would rate the difficulty in setup/take down? 1 Beer, no sweat 2 Beer, easy enough for one person 3 Beer, you’ll want some help 4 Beer, forget it, I’ll sleep in the hammock.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I just took delivery of my tent and setup was easy thanks to your video. I really appreciate the help.
Awesome, glad this was helpful!

well done on the video. I have this tent and your tips make it even better to use
The best by far show and tell with this tent. Fantastic job. Would love to see a review of the touring lonerider tent by this guy.
I will try and get on this!

Lol, i like your style! I’d say it’s definite a 1beer , and you’ll be cracking the second by the campfire before you know it 😉
Would this tent be good for winter camping?
