One Tigris TANGRAM UL Double Backpacking Tent | Review | Full Pitching | Pitching the Tangram tent

- A look at the Tangram UL double backpacking tent made by One Tigris. this is a lightweight 2 person trekking pole tent. although I would call it a lightweight large one person tent, that would fit a tall person and their gear inside.
the Tangram is a very stable trekking pole tent similar in design to the Lanshan 2 only much more stable.
This is a review followed by a full demonstration of how to pitch the Tangram.
I think this is possibly a contender for the best trekking pole tent on the market.

Very detailed!! Thanks for sharing this good video!!
No problem, I genuinely love the tent 👍
It worked, just ordered mine after watching this video 🙂
Really looking forward to it!
Already purchased the backwoods bungalow and love it 👍
Yep I’m also ordering after watching this
I've just bought one of these for £85 brand new. I've never been sure about some of the other trekking pole tents out there but this one really does look solid when set up correctly. I love that star gazing feature and the fact you can use a ridge line in woodland too. Thanks for the setup demonstration.
My pleasure 👍
thank you! I just got mine yesterday and this video was the most useful as far as seeing the best way to put it up and seeing how all the different parts work. I really appreciate that you were so thorough. Great job!
Thanks 😊
Just got this tent for Christmas. Can't wait to try it out. Awesome review. Thanks brother. 👍👍
My pleasure. Happy Christmas to you 👍
Great video mines on its way, looking forward to some winter camping 😀👍
Just bought this tent and can't wait to get out and use it.
Awesome, I was out in mine last weekend. I love it! So much room 👍
Very nice review!! Hope you enjoy it in next trips!!
Thanks! 😃
Great review Dan, looks a great roomy tent,thanks, for sharing 👍
Thanks Mick, I like this one a lot, can’t wait to use it proper 👍
Looks like a well designed tent for a few reasons. Well presented! Information that doesn't come through from reading descriptions of products 😀👍
yeah, I tried not to gush too much, but I really like it, and can't wait to take it out proper!
The best instructional set up video I have seen on the Tangram... I own one and love it. I do like your suggestion for separating the inner into another dry bag... Wish I had seen this one long ago..
Thanks mate, really appreciate you saying.
Good video, just ordered this tent, looking forward to using it
I love it, in my head it’s more a summer hiking type tent but I used it last week in the woods and it was great. Easy to pitch and a ton of room.
Great video Dan! Helped me make my mind up to buy...
Thanks mate, I love this tent.. can’t wait to able to use it again!
Cool review 👍👍👍
Thanks! 👍
Great review 👍
Thanks! 👍
That's a really nice tent, Dan.. I like how you can pitch the outer first and then put in the inner after. 👍
Yeah, it’s a must for bad weather.
Reminds me of my old canvas Dutch army tent. Same layout , but obviously modern materials. Nice job 👌 we will have to have that and my new one (still not christened yet😳) out for a camp x
Yeah I like the retro colour. I’m looking forward to getting it out for a proper camp 👍👍
Well done Dan ... a great tent reviewed and explained in an easy manner whilst setting up. Lots to like about this one have to agree with you on that. Weight is a small price to pay for quslity and comfort in my view and this is not a lot. Thanks for sharing mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Thanks mate, I agree with you there, I think I'd rather carry the extra too.
That does look good Dan. With this tent the Tigersden that Simon showed us, I think you have two tenths that can suit every requirement between them. Thank you for the review.
I just watched Simon’s Tigersden video.. I like that one, it has lots of good practical uses.
Thanks for the video well done, I have this tent and will be reviewing this tent. Great points on the tent and your thoughts on it. I am liking mine as well. ATB.
Well that looks a cool little tent mate, like you say, a little bigger than the lanshan but I like the colour, also like the way the doors open up! Great review dan! Hope you have a great weekend

I realised later that using wood for pokes or suspending is also an option in the woods.
I prefer it to the Lanshan based on first impressions though. Just feels a better tent.
Cheers mate 👍
That looks a solid tent Dan! At that weight without poles i wouldn’t call it Ultra Light but a lot of the UL tents always look a bit flimsy for hardcore UK weather, so it depends what you’re after and how safe you want to feel! As you say the guying system should help with that too. I like that you can unzip right across to open it up totally. Not keen on tents where you can only just about open half the end. You didn’t mention the colour - I really like that, a bit old school and blends in nicely. I was waiting for the price and expecting that to be the catch, but that’s actually very reasonable. It certainly looks well made for that price.
Thanks mate great review! - ATB, Mark 👍
Yes the colour does make it look old school.. you can also suspend it as the loops on top are very strong looking.
I really like it, it feels well made 👍
Very nice. I agree with your idea of packing the inner core into a dry bag first to keep it dry. I'm torn between this and the outback retreat.
Both are decent I think.
Great video, informative in crucial areas. I bought the lanshan 2 recently which I've not had the chance of using yet but if it's anything like this ill be happy. Subbed
Thanks GJ .. they are very similar, I have both and have filmed a comparison video, it’s hard to pick which is better as they both have pluses and minuses.
Thanks for subbing 👍
@@CampLifeBushcraft Cracking, I'll have a look for that vid shortly. Cheers
I haven’t finished it yet, still in the editing stage 😊
Hiya Dan
Been a while, soz abt that, time flies when you're having fun right? lol
So, I'm liking the looks of this tent mate. I tell you what else is good about those 'half way' guys? They are excellent if like me, you have a touch of claustrophobia as they keep the canvas from drooping over your head / face and giving you the willies.
Don't laugh, it can happen to anyone ya know (you're gigglin, I can hear ya ya git ) Listen, I was in my late 40's, never suffered before, one Sunday I decided to clear out that black hole we most of us have under the stairs, you know, where the vaccume lives and bang, panic attack and that was it, stayed with me ever since.
Back to the tent. Looks quite sturdy enough to brave the winds of Dartmoor, the colour is right for a bit of wild camping and most importantly, It's nowhere near the stupid money you paid for that last one :-O ... I mean, dear me, what were you thinking Dan? .. I watched that and thought 'How bldy much?1? ... Nah mate, I'd stick to me five quid tarp from the pound shop lol, but this one, on a serious note, it looks worth the money and I'll be watching closely to see how the two compare when you give them a bit of welly in the upcoming winter weather.
OK mate, thats me for now, I'm off to play with me radios haha. Take care, goos to see you posting and my best to the better half as always, good to see her good self in recent videos too (y)
Stay safe n be lucky
Jo
I have a feeling ill be saving this video mate lol its 30mph gusts and ill be setting up for the first time at dusk. Ittl be reyt as they say where I'm from.
looked like it went ok, I've been seeing the instagram pictures : )
Awesome looking tent Dan. I really must have a tent that I can sit up in, esp in the long winter nights. One of my pet hates is eating and drinking, lying down, even getting dressed/undressed is a massive pain when you can't sit up. I really want to see how you get on with this over the winter, I agree totally about breaking the tent down into two parts, you will easily lose them through your pack. excellent review and good ideas Dan. Greets from tropically hot🙄 Wales Dave G.
I really like it, I've been looking for something I trust to replace my Banshee as that is a bit tight for space. I have high hopes for this one.
Luke from the "The Outdoor Gear Revue" tried out this tent alongside the One Tigris bungalow. Go have a look at his very rainy night out 😎
I will watch it later, I like those kinds of videos 👍
I like the outer-up first approach, much better for poor weather I think. Not sure how windproof it is - a lowlands tent I guess rather than an all-weather tent. Good waterproof rating and very large so comfortable indeed. Tempted. Thanks for the review. W :)
I agree, outer first seems the logical option, just to cover all bases
definitely!
I think all trekking pole tents have their limits, but having pitched this and the Lanshan I'd have more faith in this one to survive the night in reasonably bad conditions. I can't wait to take it out proper!
A really good and honest review. 👏
Do you have to seam seal the Tangram as you have to do with the Lanshan?
I like the bathtub floor. Maybe a ground cover under that to give it more protection from debri and water. Looks very roomy for you and Tink. Be sure sand out something on the guy lines so you don’t trip over them when it’s dark. Guess you can use a fairly straight small branch if you don’t have or forgot the trekking poles. Look forward to see your next camp adventure with that tent. ATB
Yes, hazel branches would be perfect.. might try that one time and see how it holds up.. I guess you can suspend it too looking at the loops on the top section.
Good sales pitch. Ho ho ho.
haha, Christmas is coming ; )
One Tigris make some really nice retro stuff, I'm not a 'trekking pole' guy though🤔. They have a lot of attention to detail in reinforcing corners/ seams etc. I reckon if you were walking the Yorkshire dales or Lake District on your own, it'd make a lot of sense. One Tigris tend to factor in a lot of 'modularity' to provide many options. If you just use it instead of a tarp it'd be pretty luxurious and robust as a tarp alternative without the inner 🤔😍👏👏👏.
Yes, I like the colour, it’s very old school.
Using wood instead of trekking poles is another option, as is suspending it from the loops on the top corners.. I didn’t notice that until after.
I really like this tent though, can’t wait to use it proper 👍
I hadn't noticed the option to put it up with a ridge line until you mentioned it!!!! I like it even more now 😍👏👏👏
Good video thanks. I have bought one. Did it say Ykk on your zips as noticed it’s not on mine??
Nice video. Being 6ft2 I always find myself struggling with tents. The tangram seems to have a lot of headroom. Do you think 220cm is good enough by the time you factor-in a pad and a sleeping bag ? Cheers
Great review. Thanks. What trekking poles would you reccomend please?
I don’t recommend the ones that screw together. Any that have clips are good. The screw ones can slip.
Looks like a canny tent Dan be good to see how it performs when your out in it atvb jimmy 😎😎
I like it mate, need an excuse to use it now : )
Good for a couple or err two people very close lol... Good quality tent for the price though 👌
My thoughts exactly
Did you have enough stakes for every point? I ended up combining the door flap steak with the pole line by moving it in a lot closer. otherwise I would not have had enough stakes..
Cheers Dan. If you had the choice between this and the Lanshan from the other video which would you go for having now has hands on with both? Will be interesting to see how they hold up to uk weather over time.
I’ve just filmed a comparison video of the two, I would go for this one over the Lanshan most of the time. Unless I knew for sure the weather was going to be calm and sunny.
@@CampLifeBushcraft cheers Dan I will watch that one when it's out, thank make a choice. No pressure eh. Lol
@@CampLifeBushcraft Hi Dan, hope all is OK :-)
Just wondering did you finish up that comparison video? I did look but couldn't find it.
I noticed the Tangram was reduced on Amazon but ruled it out when I saw it was only 1500 HH. The blurb doesn't mention any difference between fly and groundsheet which is even more worrying. The Lanshan however is rated at 5000 fly and 8000 groundsheet.
Anyway I was watching your live chat and you flagged it as being a good buy which made me take notice :-) I decided to buy it anyway to take a look - it will be delivered tomorrow. I don't have any grass to pitch it but will try rigging the flysheet up and give it a hose down to try to check for any leaks (can see that not working at all though!).
I know there was light rain in your video, but have you since used the tent (or just erected it oh err) in heavier rain and/or wind (saw you use it in the later collaboration video but the weather looked fine - heads the next morning not so much ;-)
I was seriously tempted with this one but ended up with the Onetigris smokey hut which has no inner but got one that fitted perfect from alibaba. Still want this one though 😂 my worry is fitting in it as I'm 6'4 🙄 Do you know if they offer a 4 season inner or do you think its even worth worrying about? I see that 3F UL offer one on both the lanshan and pro version. Decisions decisions.... Great review BTW 👍
I also have the smokey hut, I use that with a stove over winter time. its a great tent. I'm 5'8 and had my hands stretched above my head laying down.. I reckon you should be ok in it.. I guess if you get it from amazon and pitch it right away you have the ability to send it back with no quibbles if its not right.
I don't think it needs the 4 season add on.. unlike the Lanshan it pitches quite low to the ground so I don't think it will be too drafty.
I found the Lanshan similar but the edges of the tent are nearly a foot off the ground, which I'd imagine lets the weather in quite badly under the porches.
filming a comparison video at the moment : )
Super. Is it possible to pitch this tent as one inner and outer together. Thanks Ian
I don’t think so.. I’ve never tried myself. I guess it could be possible.
can you get one man inner for it
have you seen trev something or nothing video on this tent
No longer available. such a shame. This is exactly what im looking for
I wonder why..
Looks like 2 regular folks could fit. Not bad for 2. Take care. What is the carry weight?
1.8 kg all in
My arse cheeks are a bit flappy 🤣😂 seems a decent tent Dan, do they do any other colours? That's cheap at £115.00 compared to a lanshan 2 they've shot up in price... I suppose your lanny is now on fleabay? 😁
How much does it way ?
Sorry is this a snippet from carry on camping? Lol sorry already used that on on ya! I like it... 1.8 nuthin to moan about! What was the hh on it? Can you leave the inner and outer together for a quick pitch? Sorry for the carry on lol..
I forget the HH, I'm sure I mentioned it in the video.. film it a while ago now and my memory is not the best.
I guess you can leave it together, although I will be separating it out for easy packing when I take it out.
@@CampLifeBushcraft sweet! It looks pretty good..
Blataynot as stable as the lanshan

good to know : )
