I have been in the market for tent that will provide shelter for bad weather conditions and buggy areas. The main thing I'm interested in is the ability to withstand wind, put up and take down easy, and provide ample amount of room to stand and move around. The Gazelle T4 Hub tent meets all those criteria and more. Take a look how the Gazelle Tent performs in rain and wind as I take it out in search of thunderstorms to camp in.

If you don't mind the slight noise, put up a small wind chime near your camp site. The bears will avoid the noise. Works in Alaska.
That's a great idea
A hungry bear will ignore all that 😂.
@@carmenmartinez2882 Not really.
I cook in my tent all the time, its a 6 man robens shack, the reason I can do this, is because I live in the UK and most of UK bears are called "Paddington"...lol
lol "Paddington"
Legit just started singing the song.
We have this tent and used it last summer . It performed very well in high winds and moderate rain. It’s goes up and down like a dream. We replaced the stakes as they bent very quickly. I have been camping for 30 yrs and this tent is a winner!
nice!! yeah the setup and take down is certainly a dream
Same here the supplies tent stakes bent here in the hard ground
Get the t4 overland stakes for $20 and you’ll be happy you did.
I really like your review. We have a 5 side Gazelle hub tent. We always tie the hub eyes to stakes or trees. The top hub can also collapse with snow or ice. You can use a pole inside such as a pvc pipe to help support it. Thanks again for the review.
I camp in bear country. No food near my tent. I have a kitchen setup in the back of my vehicle with a great awning. I still make sure to put everything in bear canisters, and then wipe it all down with Pine-sol. Bears hate it. My Dad taught me that 40 years ago, apparently the State of Alaska agrees with him. I have never had an issue with them. (those pesky Bigfoot however...) I just bought a T4-plus, It made it through some big storms in Cherokee and Pisgah NFs my Next test will be Mt Washington in NH. Windiest spot on earth.🤞
One of the best dam reviews I have ever seen on any tent. After watching your review I have decided to invest in a T4 👍
Thank you. Very good investment you'll love it. Please click the link in the description when you're ready
Dude, you were in my back yard. I live near there. Leaving your door and windows unzipped just a couple/few inches will make packing up quicker and easier by giving the air a way to escape as you fold it up.
Also - bears. Bears in the SE are afraid of dogs since they are hunted with dogs. My 100 lb labranard is a big sissy, but the bears don't know that. I almost never see bears when hiking with my dog and they are never close encounters when I do. I also found a .357 to be a good deterant with black bears - .44 mag or better if you're in grizzly country. Honestly, mice and squirrels getting into my food has been a way bigger problem than bears.
Nice thanks for the tips
10 mm works pretty well for griz if you're running buffalo bore ammo then you have a shit ton of firepower.
I really appreciate you taking the time to do such a thorough review - even including a wind test! This is very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed
This video has sealed it for me. Im getting one! I really appreciate the thorough review testing all limits of it!! Thanks man!
One of the better reviews of the gazelle T4 I have seen. Thanks for including air flow within the tent and showing the space it took up in your 4Runner during Transit.
Hi sir William.
I am an Alberta proud 55 yr old woman that loooooves tenting. I make my own critter ridder as u call it.

Finally I review that gets to the point without all the droning on great job I just hit subscribe
Thanks
Love the music in this video and great shots of you driving up the mountain
too good review as well.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoy
Best review so far! Keep up the good work!
Thanks glad you enjoyed
We live and camp in Northern Michigan. Definitely bear country. We’ve not had an encounter with bears while camping. I employ the three rings of defense: a trip alarm, an three strand electrified fence designed for backpacking, and bear spray. I use this system when we dispersed camping away from campgrounds. With campgrounds, there’s safety in numbers and a lot of human and K9 scent, so there’s no need for the defense system. We also keep our camp site clean and store food in plastic bags, inside a cooler, locked in our truck. We have a Crua Tri. It’s a beast! I am thinking about buying my girlfriend a Gazelle T4 for the camping trips she makes with her nieces and nephews. I like it.
Good tips. The gazelle is a great option
Your convenient store joke won me over and got you a sub. Great content dude. Keep it up.
🤣 nice!! Glad you enjoyed!!
Dude im getting one of these next weekend. Im coming home next week from my deployment with the guard and back home my friends and I do volunteer search and rescue so these tents would be absolutely perfect for when we setup camp somewhere when we take the truck. Thanks for the review man!
I enjoyed your previous review of my current tent, the Coleman 6 instant up, and I appreciate you covering what may be my next addition to the camping fleet. Thanks, dude. Back in the 80s when I started camping and spending lots of time outdoors, YKK zippers were standard on tents, cycling gear, jackets, etc.. So good to see them back in vogue. Well done!
Awesome glad you find the vids informative.
What I like is that all the walls are under tension, That help to keep the wind from flapping it around like a flag on a pole.
Good review. We have seen the gazelle gazebo being used way outside it’s comfort zone so to speak. Mid winter with very strong winds and torrential rain on the west coast of Vancouver Island right on the beach by the tree line. The gazebo was anchored by buckets filled with the shingle beach gravel and buried about half way and guy lines attached to the gazebo attachment points.
My encounters with bears have always been on the trail, never in camp; one encounter with a mountain lion as I was answering the call to nature but it reeled and ran off when I yelled for my buddies to come help. Squirrels and chipmunks seem to find a way of getting into my trash bag which I hang like a bear bag from a tree but they are just being rodents...no big deal. I never cook in my tent except to boil water for coffee only. I affix a Smittybilt awning to the hatch on my Jeep SUV and cook on a stove or BBQ on a portable grill/fire pit. If I don't sleep in the SUV I will set up a cot or a One Tigris Bungalow at one end of the awning and sleep there. My best sleep occurs during rain storms...absolutely love it. I returned the Gazelle T3 as it was taking up too much space in my car and bought the OneTigris Bungalow which I love (great backpacking option, too).
Man great info, thanks!! I'll have to check the bungalow out. That's the only downside to a gazelle, too much space
Thanks for the outstanding review! Ordered & received my Gazelle Overland Edition (comes w/ upgrade in heavier stakes & a footprint) because of your video! Put it up today in my Florida backyard. I'm soon to be 67yo & not in best shape but had no problems. Nothing came w/ the tent about the guidelines but after watching you I knew exactly what to do w/ them. The whole bag a bit heavy for me, will be keeping footprint, rainfly & stakes in a separate duffle to lighten the load! Thanks again! Take care!
Awesome!!!
Great idea to have separate bags to divide the load. Thanks. I'm 62 so we gotta watch what we carry! Even if our backs feel okay today, the next day is the Tale of the Tape.
Thx for the video. I'd been waiting on your review b/f pulling the trigger on one. Take care and keep up the good work.
Thanks. I've got the links in the description
You definitely have THEE best review of the tent. The only issue I have now is if I want to start with the T4 or the T4 Plus. Thank you!!!
Awesome video and lots of good information. Thanks for the demonstrations! Beautiful views from your Camp too!
Loved the review, and yep I do cook in my tent :D
Nice demo. Thanks!
This was a really great review and liked your efforts to present a comprehensive test of the tent. I'm further bolstered in my desire for this tent! Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed. It's a great tent
Thanks for the detailed and weather tent review. Not many ppl do reviews in bad weather !
That was the goal!! Thanks for watching.
Yup.. fantastic review getting close to pulling the ‘trigger’ on one like your other viewers.
As for condensation in really damp conditions, ventilation of course is your best friend. Can you vent any number of those windows during a storm to create air flow?
As for cooking at your car in bad weather (for bear deterrent reasons) consider a DIY awning. Simple, a tarp size of your choice, then some DIY piping attached to your roof rack to hold that end of the tarp taut along side your rig. One DIY’er just bought an 11’ extendable yellow fiberglass (?) rod (used to change light bulbs) to attach to his rig, then the tarp. Just search the topic on YT, you’ll find videos.
A few seasons ago I made myself a 10’x12’ dining fly (to cover most campground picnic tables) out of tyvek. ‘Set me back’ a whole $39 bucks. Tarp came w attachable (sticky tape) grommet mounting points. You’ll tear the tyvek somewhere else b4 the mounting points fails. I have more cost in my Ridgeline and guy out points. I will use the yellow rod ‘method’ to create my own awning hack as well. Stake out the ends of the awning with cheap extendable poles sourced at your big box store or online. ‘Campercovers’ is the guy I buy my tyvek from, he has both an ebay and Amazon store.
Happy trails
Fwiw, Memorial day weekend last year while riding my gravel bike, right before sunset, on a decommissioned logging road, came around a blind corner only to find one if those black four legged ‘critters’ munching on bushes in the middle if the road. Lucky for him, heh, he was more frightened by me than I was of him, off he went, full speed. Impressive beasts.
Cheers.
After 3 years, I finally pulled the trigger on the Gazelle T4. Your video was one of the ones that set me on this odyssey! RE: Cooking in my tent: No. Cookin' in your tent? I'm down with it!
I have a t4 plus overland. Been through very extreme weather, including wind gusts to 70 mph.
Even staking the pop out walls, it still collapsed.
Also, the roof frame came apart.
This tent is fine for normal weather, and occasional use. But, it is not indestructable, as some portray it to be.
A better design for heavy winds would be a tunnel shape, which is more aerodynamic, and have less windage.
I give the t4 plus a C plus.
I thought about getting one of those last summer I’m still considering it, thanks for Your review 🐟🐟🎣🎣
fantastic review bro, best I have seen and heard in a while.
When my kids were little, we did a lot of tent camping, and nowadays, I'm sticking to "camping" on the patio, and the main things I like about this tent is the ease of setting it up, not crawling in and out of it, all the windows, the quality, and the doors! A great presentation for a really nice product! You have beautiful scenery there, and it should be a pleasure to camp out. Remember to lock your vehicle doors to keep the bears out, because they can easily open unlocked doors!
If a bear wants in it’ll just tear up the door or even easier it will bust the windshield and get in, after is done chewing everything including upholstery it’ll probably leave a steaming present if you catch my drift. Best if there’s no bear box in the campsite you’d have to place cooler in the car and cover it, they know what a cooler looks like and what it has. I live in the mountains and also been camping for 40+ years in the Sierras in California with lots of black bears. So far taking precautions I’ve never had issues.
Love my T4 for wife, and 2 small kids under 4 for summer and winter camping. With Covid still in full effect here in Ontario, many day parks do not have access to a washroom. Allows my kids to play in the tent and when the adults need to pee, we close up the windows!
Best review by far of the gazelle t4!!!! Really enjoyed it and just got myself one!
Glad you enjoyed
I love that place!! Keep up the great work
Thanks
I guess a few other people have said it already, but this was really an excellent review. Thank you for taking the time to cover it in so much detail and with detailed footage...I know that's a $#1+ton of work to shoot and edit. I've been sleeping in my car but it's just a little Forester and not quite as roomy as a 4Runner. I'm tired of squirming around in that very small space and seriously considering the Gazelle. Thanks again! Thumbs up and subscribed!
Thanks I'm glad you like it
Really great review, very thorough!
Beautiful scenery. Stay safe in bear country! Thanks for sharing your video!
Thanks for watching!!
This is a really good review. Most reviews are first set ups in the back yard and not really reviews. Just first impressions. Thanks for this in depth review!
Informative testing. Excellent.
Fantastic review! I’m buying one, thanks! As for bears, I douse myself in bear spray and eat a half dozen of those little bells 🔔 if a bear does eat me I’m getting the last laugh! 🤣😂🤣😂 Subscribed and thanks!!
haha jing aling jing aling!!!!
Thanks for the great review! Mine’s on the way. It seems to have about the best headroom in the smallest footprint of any of the tents I’ve looked at.
I’ve been using the same 10’ x 12” monster tent for over a decade and it’s been an awesome tent. But, I realized on my last trip that I’m just tired of setting it up... if I can even find a big enough flat spot to set it up:)
thanks, you will enjoy for sure.
Excellent review on the Gazelle tent, one of the best that I have seen. I have the 4 person in orange and camped in once the Mojave Desert, it was great just as you described . We had some pretty strong wind and the sides didn't collapse inward, but I was concerned. I did stake all 4 sides that helped a lot. I found your use of the guidelines very helpful in case of strong winds. I bought the Gazelle for the ease and quickness of it going up plus the roomy size. Thanks for the video, great review .
This video turned me onto that "plus" model, with a screened-in annex. That'd solve your cooking-indoors issue.
Great review! Maybe trail behind ya sometimes up here in the backwoods of N.E. GA. I love all the vids and content you give us! Thanks Sir!
Thanks for watching!!
Sorry, in my previous comment about cooking in the tent I forgot to thank you for an outstanding review and video, so informative and down to the points. Thanks.
Great review! Thanx
Dude, you're hilarious lol, loved the review, thank you, brother.
Good review. I’m going to buy one. BTW, that’s some beautiful country!
Awesome!!! I have the link in the description
I have a t4 plan to put it to good use this summer.
Thanks for this review it gelp me decide wc is the best tent for me and my family. It showed how easy to set it up. You can still stand up and the space as you featured all ur stuff inside. We normally put only r stuff and the queen airbed. You also showed while it was raining. Good to see no water coming in.
Awesome glad I could help
New to your channel. Great video. Thinking of starting tent camping so it was great info. Cracked me up about the Lake Jocassee. I live in the Walhalla area-well near High Falls County Park. We go to Jocassee a good bit and those biting critters are rough :)
Very good review. You hit every aspect of a good tent. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed
I am VERY impressed with your authentic field testing! I know Nothing about setting up traditional tents and your Through testing has convinced me that this is what I require for my height, 6' 3". I am seriously grateful for your review! Thank you Very much and may you and yours stay healthy during this serious time.
Thanks glad you enjoy. funny that you say you have no idea how to set up traditional tent because I plan on releasing a video within the next few weeks about just that after watching a couple struggle with one at a campground I realize some people may not have ever been shown how to do it
@@SirWilliamGoes Awesome Sauce! Hopefully all goes well and we can check it out! ^__^
Excellent review!! I have the exact same one and really love it. I've used other ground tents and had a Tepui RTT. I moved and it wouldn't fit in my garage. I really prefer this set up. It's just me and the dog, so I can even set up my cleanwaste toilet inside for #2. I've made it through several HEAVY wind nights and the key is guying it out. I kept thinking the top was going to pop in, but it never did. Since I set this up alone, I stake down one side first before pulling up the opposite side to pop it up. This keeps the whole tent from sliding towards me. Plus, if it's windy it keeps it from rotating or becoming the flying house from Wizard of Oz HAHA. Another note, is when it's really windy, if you don't have enough gear to place around the base on the wind side, air will get underneath and the floor will float up like a ghost. I solved it by placing storage bins/blankets anything heavy at the floor edge to keep the floor from flying up.
Very cool. Great tips
Great review, Ive been recently looking at these and plan on getting one now
Glad to see the review up. I remember your frustration trying to chase the storms.
I like the simplicity of it. But the size for transport, it's kinda big.
Size is a bit big I understand that
Best way to go for sure.
I have a T4 plus! First time trying it out!Going to mountains soon!
Great review!
Great review. I have the orange T4 I bought during Black Friday.
I am looking at that one....what do you think?
Great review William!
Thanks.
I love my gazelle t4 it feels like a little cabin, and for its size super easy for one person to set up. I bought it for when the wife and I go camping. I like that you can order new parts off the website. I am planning on taking mine snow camping this winter and seeing how it does. My only complaint is like you said the door is a little small... and earwigs can make it through the velcro on the floor. I do have to run it corner to corner in the bed of my Tacoma because it is so long but not a big deal.
Awesome. I had wondered about something like a Tacoma bed
Great review. I am planning to get one for the family.
Very nice video. I have a Coleman 4 person dark room rent that is great. I like this though and will look into one. Thanks!!!!
Best Video of this tent so far thank you Sir .
Thanks. Check out the new overland edition video to be released Friday
Great video review.
Good job brother keep making this kind of videos.
Thanks.
We just purchased the Gazelle Gazebo and its great! Would recoment these for anyone.
I like the gazebo too!
Good review on the T4, man if that had a stove jack for the top it would be a four season tent.
Good review!
I have a Gazelle T3 tent and was in a couple of storms with high winds including hail last week in Texas, and the tent has held up beautifully.
Just gotta tie it down
Thinking about purchasing the T3 - how is for standing up inside (i'm about 5''8). That's why I'm considering either a T3 or T4
Awesome video!!👍👌
Thanks!
Real review. Thank you.
Thanks
Greetings from CALIFORNIA Awesome video imma deff buying us one of this tents #happycamping
Awesome
Great review
Great review/video. I enjoy my Gazelle T4 and would recommend it to anyone! See ya on the trails.
Thanks
In 30 years I've never camped inside my tents. However, over the last 5 years I've been using a tent trailer that belonged to my mother for 15 years before I got it too. I've cooked inside the tent trailer hundreds of times. I camp in bear country all the time.
i love this tent, get the foot print for added protection.
Great Demo man😁
Thanks
Concerning the wind. If you are having difficulty with loose or sandy soil, I picked up a hint that called for adding a some collapsible buckets that you fill with dirt and tie off to the center pulls instead of staking to the ground.
Nice. Good idea
Great review.
Thanks glad you found it useful
Great Review! I just bought the T4 Overland edition. Only done living room setup so far - it barely fit, this thing is huge!! - but looking forward to taking it out. I do wish I'd been able to find the green one though, the orange is pretty bright!
The only difference between the T4 Overland and the T4 in this video is yours comes with a footprint, better stakes and a water resistant carrying bag.
So if you buy the T4 Alpine Green (the tent in this video), upgrade the stakes yourself (optional) and buy a tarp of your choice for a footprint (optional).
There is about a $70 difference in price between yours and this one depending on where you buy it.
You then have that much to play with to buy those upgrades if you like.
Nice job
Good to know about how it fits in the 4Runner
Hi !! Thanks I order it today T4 Alpine Green !!!!
Thank you for the video. Trying to decide between a Gazelle T8 or a classic Springbar family camper. This is very helpful.
Springbar makes very nice tents be sure the one you're looking at is made in USA if you go with the springbar. The Gazelle can't be beat on setup and take down time.
Great video
Thanks
I have been shopping for a while, found the T4 a few months ago, almost bought it, then they sold out. Back to shopping again, found 2 or 3 prospects that do almost everything I want and may have come full circle back to T4. Love all the positives. Downsides for me? (1) I am taller than the tent overall so no standing headroom for me. (2) Some reviews comment that the corners of the floor don't quite seal and some bugs get in (solution, food grade diatomaceous earth in a scouring pad, stored in a zip bag ready to deploy if at risk). (3) The small doors at my size.... (I think the T4 Plus may be my rig). Other PLUSSES for the floor. I am adamant about drying the tent completely SO DETACHABILITY SOLVES THAT WHEN WET UNDERNEATH. I am also concerned for grit wearing out the tent too early. The removable floor lets me remove the floor and keep the tent body and roof cleaner and hopefully longer lasting. Thanks for this review as this is how we camp and get some of our best experiences and the quality of weather AFTER the storms. Cheers.
Good review brother man.
Thanks.
Sir William, you probably have thousands of tents. Hopefully you'll have a special lottery and have someone like us win. We can't afford those type of tents. We are the under $300 types. But I love your video. Your aura is very optimistic. Great voice as well!
Thanks. I wish I had thousands I would definitely give them away. Thanks for the kind words
Great review mate 👍👍 from downunder 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!!
The “intense” “in-TENTS” joke never gets old 😂
Not a lot of bears in Texas, so cooking in our tent really isn't a problem. That said, we still cook outside mostly. Or in our Gazelle Gazebo.
Just got one! Gonna hang my hammink threw the double doorz ! Thanks for revealing!
What an awesome idea. I may try that too!!!
I've camped in Wyoming, Montana, Alberta Canada etc. If you cook near where you camp you might as well send up a flag as you will probably die. Dogs only attract Grizzlies in these places. I now live in NM and I wouldn't hesitate cooking in a tent. In NM there are no bugs in the dry areas...most areas...so I don't use a tent at all. Enjoyed your video. Straight forward comments just like a real camper would say and do. Thanks.
How far away from the tent would you cook in grizzly country
@@SirWilliamGoes Actually I wouldn't cook in grizzly country. Truck camping with a rifle, maybe, but I wouldn't want to kill one of those critters. I love nature and like to let it be. When I was younger and backpacked in those parts I mentioned I would never cook. I used homemade gorp for my meals and let that do it and then dreamed of going to the nearest restaurant after a few days on the trail. Usually I would suspend my pack a hundred yards away so I could sleep well. I've been lucky as all the bears I've encountered ran in the opposite direction. Luckily too that they weren't females with cubs. Again, great video and very helpful.
I can't wait to order mine! It's good to know the tent handles well in the rain and wind. Maybe a snow test next time? ;)
Burr!!!!
Lol. “Depending on which convenience store I’m rushing out of.”
I’m reading about where the poles that extend out from the wall hubs to the floor of the tent make a gap with the Velcro tub floor. Lots of reports of ants and such getting in.
Finally: I’ve camped in bear country lots. While in bear country: never bring food into your tent, or aftershave, toothpaste, or even granola bars. Bears have an extremely well-developed sense of smell.
The gap can occur but I make sure there are no gap by connecting the velcro
I saw the same review about the bugs, and did some digging. The manufacturer said there was an issue with a certain batch that had problems with a gap in the floor. It was corrected. I just couldn't imagine a tent designed to let bugs in.
Great review Sir. William!
I just recently bought the T4 on Amazon. Waiting on the cooler weather! October is only a few weeks away! I can't wait!! Thanks for the tips!!
Sweet. Thanks for watching. I love October camping weather!!
How do you find Jump Off Rock? I'm in Covington, Ga. Would love to check that place out.
Been to Black Rock Mountain State park a couple of times, great location!
@@billhenry1303 just Google it and maps will take you str8 to it
Duh... Sorry! Don't know why I didn't think of that. I had a 70s moment. ;)
@@billhenry1303 haha no problem
New sub here from Missouri..... Friend of mine just told me about this tent.
Awesome thanks for watching you will love the tent
