Hi Stellah, that's great to hear... hope it's a fun week away. Not sure if you have come across them yet, but there are a couple other camping videos on my channel... here is a link to the playlist if you are interested th-cam.com/play/PLb9ne7k5ibAo-nPTsJgIiFPSUpGHRx5hx.html
Those clips on the campmor gives your fingers a proper workout! this is great way to setup, especially with those tips for keeping the poles together! thanks Grant! Also need to place an order for the Gas bottle stands! hoping they come back into stock soon!
Hi Orobella Studios... thank you and it's a pleasure. Glad others are finding the videos helpful. Where did you first hear out about the gas bottle stands? They are in stock again and available directly from the Burtsway Online Store 👉 www.burtsway.co.za/shop if you would like to place an order. Where about in SA are you? Those stands are great! Those clips definitely do give your fingers a proper workout. I've found the easiest way to get them on and off is to twist it. Use one pointing finger to push / pull on one side of the hook and the other hands pointing finger to push / pull on the open end... and kind of twist it off if that makes sense (maybe I should make a short video on this sometime). I takes a little extra time to tie all the poles together but it definitely helps. That said, I'm usually in a rush to setup and generally only tie the poles together on the front legs. So assemble the entire cross with the back legs basically in position and ready to be hooked into the grommets. Then lift the centre section with my left hand and push backwards so the back legs can't actually fall apart. At the same time holding the front right leg and pulling it down, hook it in then do the same for the left side leg. It's a bit tricky the first few times but I've done it so many times now its easy for me. You also have to be fairly strong to bend and shape the legs with one hand while controlling the entire frame with the other hand.

@@GrantBurton that’s amazing. Will place an order. We are in Durban. Been looking for a solution to level out bottles. The design looks great! Went down the rabbit hole of watching your camp setup videos 😂, think you mentioned it in the comments! Thanks for the effort in putting the videos together! Camp setups/ tips are always great as you get to add to the knowledge bank for various scenarios! We’ll be making some videos ourselves soon with various products we’ve found helpful around camp. Just need to get some time to get out in the bush again 😁
There are also 4 videos on the Burtsway website showcasing the product if you are interested and the reviews are slowly rolling in which is also nice. I think you are correct, I may have made reference to it in the comments or the description. Actually working on another tips and tricks video which will include the gas bottle stand... not sure when it will come out though. Was also planning on filming an updated 'camp setup walkthrough' video of all the changes during our most recent camping trip however on the planned day, a kids party ended up happening across from us which totally ruined any filming plans (looked like the kids had fun though so I guess that was a win). Nevertheless I'll have to do a complete setup again... top to bottom. Looking forward to seeing your videos. Watched a couple of the videos on your channel already... like the calm and collected presentation 👍 If you come down to PE, let me know... maybe we can meet up for a coffee or beer.
@@GrantBurton order placed! Yeah I'm keen to get that outdoors channel kick started this year. If anything to force us to get out there more! Passed through PE last august going up to Tsitsikama but that coffee sounds great next time. If you are down in Durbs or the Berg anytime hit me up. Maybe shoot something cool!
Awesome... Thanks. Order is being processed. Let us know once you have received it and what you think of it. Will definitely get in touch if we are around your area. I don't think I'll be able to keep up with your level of creativity but I guess we could give it a go.
Over the years of this tent's existence, this is the best guide to installation and use. The professional approach of a person with the mindset of an engineer. Thank you.
Hi Baurzhan, thanks very much. Always wonderful to hear positive feedback. There is also another camping Tips and Tricks video, not sure if you have come across that yet. th-cam.com/video/LjL3SEGVlsA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Cherie, the main purpose of this video was to show how to erect a dome tent like in the video, and not include or demonstrate everything else that might go with the setup. I have another 'Tips and Tricks' video where the first tip I share is about using a ground sheet... here is a link to the video if you are interested th-cam.com/video/LjL3SEGVlsA/w-d-xo.html
Hi Anthony, it should be similar to setting up this canvass tent but a fair amount easier. I think your tent is a lightweight nylon tent with flexible fibreglass tent poles? Pull the tent out flat, clip the tent poles together (there should be two separate long poles made up of shorter pieces that clip together), slide each pole through the sleeves on the tent (at each corner of the tent), at the centre of the tent where the poles make a cross, tie the cross to the laces that are at the peak of the tent, raise the tent and clip the bottom of each tent pole over the small pin attached to each corner of the tent, peg down the guy ropes and you should be good to go. If you have a fly screen / rain cover, you may have to throw that over the top and tie / clip it down. sometimes these clip directly to the tent or are also pegged to the ground with guy ropes. Maybe also check out this video th-cam.com/video/UJT0s2HXefA/w-d-xo.html
Cant wait to go camping for a week this coming week😊after watching your video i just got excited

I now feel more confident about my up and coming camping trip
Awesome… I’m sure it will be fun.
Why no ground sheet? 3:30 2024

Them's some long tent pegs!
Yip, pretty looooong... they work well for the grassy/sandy conditions where we mostly camp.
@GrantBurton you realize you said km instead of cm?
Sarcasm?
@GrantBurton easy to ssy that now but it didn't look like you were being sarcastic.
I guess we'll never know 😂😂
my tent is a beatnik it's a two person tent. I've no idea how to set up my tent.
Hi Anthony, it should be similar to setting up this canvass tent but a fair amount easier. I think your tent is a lightweight nylon tent with flexible fibreglass tent poles?

My pegs are 17km long 😂😅
Haha 😂😂 yip... we normally camp in sandy soft ground so we use the longer pegs, but into a hard well compacted area, there are a bit of a pain.
I hate it when someone steps on the tent.
Yeah, most times it’s avoidable.
