Hey idk if I’m crazy but I’ve bought this exact knife TWICE and lost it TWICE always purchased from Big 5 on my Third! Time around just recently I went to get another to replace the one that was lost it looked the exact same but was by Elk Ridge and for the life of me I can’t figure out why it feels smaller it’s length is the same 14” but the girth and weight is NOT the same but the thickness is can someone please help me. I miss my Field and Stream BEEFY Bowie and I can’t seem to find it 😅
What is the name of this tent?
Interesting, i really liked mine but it definitely wasn't full tang. I busted it yesterday throwing it at a block of wood. The metal inside the handle was about half the thickness of this one...
I’m thinking about using mine again tomorrow, hot also, what if I just turn on my air conditioner in the truck? Is it dangerous or luxury? I guess I’ll see
why not just poop out in the woods instead of in a bucket?
Seems like a lot of trouble when you can just lower the midgate and use the backseat area along with the added covered area of the truck bed and you have a nice little stealth camping setup.
Hi,,, how did you have 2 bed lights? my 2013 avy has just the one in left side.
Biggest advantage is you're off the ground. A conventional tent beats it in most other respects.
Where can I get this?
WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE
I have the best memories camping with my dad with that tent. Such nostalgia.
I'm kind of bummed you didn't continue the series. I just got done putting together the system you have or had. I'm also an Avalanche owner, created a covered patio area and my wife and I are ready to start the adventure.
What about all the open area around where the screen patio meets up with the truck? Wont all the bugs and mosquitos pour in through that? Kind of makes the screen useless doesnt it?
Use magnets on your screen on the outside
What that a Napier brand? I think their method of attaching the tent over the sail cladding at the rear of the Avalanche missed the design meeting. Lucky if an interior string holds in a good wind. We shall see. Other Avalanche tents have a string that can be tightened to draw into the space. The instructions on line and sent with the tent, are for a truck and don't detail anything about an avalanche.
This is incredible . I had no idea avalanches do this. Chevy should make this standard with all trucks ! Why not !
That’s exactly why I just bought a 2005. Love these trucks. Don’t love the 02 sensors or lifter knock tho.
What's the brand of tent? And also what year is your avalanche?
GM made these specific for the Avalanche. You can find them on local online marketplaces. If you see one, get it. They fit all years of Avalanche.
Dude this is badass,I just baught a 2008 avalanche,very cool , thanks 😊 ,I love it
I had an 04 Avalanche I purchased brand new. Loved that truck. Ran it for 12 years and 270,000 miles before trading it in. I wish they were still making them.. I definitely would've got another. And I love how the rear seat folds into the truck. Makes it perfect for camping with a bed tent.
Looks good sir
Thanks!
Hey where did you get the tent?? I have a 2004 Avalanche & can’t seem to find the proper one that fits.
My wife got it on Ebay. I have seen ones from Napier that are almost identical sold at Cabelas
There is one for sale on facebook right now. I cant seem to share it here but look up "OEM CHEVY AVALANCHE TENT" on Facebook or Dolly
Can I used in a Ford truck?
No, made for avalanche only
They do have similar tents that you can buy for other trucks however they won't have the ability to open up into the cab. But if you look up Napier truck tents they have tents that can fit in the bed of your truck for just about every kind of pickup
If you look on Amazon, Napier makes different tent for different applications.
Hmm, looks like it would work for my 1993 Ford Bronco.
What is the large mesh tent called? I have the same truck tent and am interested in looking into it.
where can I get one of this
They sell the screen on eBay that goes right over the door even if you have rain guards the plastic things you couldn't remember what they were called yeah they're called rain guards and with the screens over the door still allows you to operate the window
I was thinking of getting one for my 2002 avalanche and your video made it a no Brainer! I can't wait to try mine!!
Awesome! Enjoy it has made our camping way more fun!
hi, i´am from germany sorry for my english... is this waterproof ? wher can i get it? thanks
Is this durable?
Haha you forgot what memory foam is called.
Actually, the big thing I’ve thought about when thinking of getting the tent for the truck is, how to simplify set up. Like for road trips. And where do I put everything during travel time?
I haven't found any better way to set up really but what I have done for travel is store it in my tano cover bag that straps to the side of the truck bed or in the cargo topper we added. you can see them here in this other vid I have: czcams.com/video/edpifnXLVFA/video.html
Make a partial screen frame that you roll up into the window, like the house ones you can buy The bug tent added to the back.. you need something to go under the tail gate to the ground to keep them from coming in underneath the back of the truck too.
great point. we have been using a thermacel camp burner set up with 12 hour pads for mosquitoes and it has worked very well so far. doesn't stop other bugs though
Word up to the fan and a few cans of spam.
Word
Love this! It's perfect for what I need! Thanks 😀
It takes 2 Baby,it takes 2??
we have the exact same one and we love it. We found when we got to hot in it that we zipped up all the windows in the tent and ran the ac for a little but and cooled it off big time and stayed cool for quite awhile after shutting the ac off. same went for heating when we were camping when bit was cold. worked awesome. we actually have a campright avalanche tent forsale. a freind of ours sold. his avalanche and gave us his tent that he set up only once so it's practically brand new. we are located in CANADA.
Nice! The Campright tent is the first one I saw like this. I now use a Ryobi 18v cooler with AC built in to cool the tent when we sleep in the summer. It is amazing. you can see it in my other videos. Thanks for commenting!
+survivalistonabudget do you still have the tent for sale
Hey Shawn what's your email?
George Hefner sorry it sold

A 5gal water keg would work better. They only smell when the lid is off. Line one with three 13gal trash bags,held in place by a rubber bungee. Using a scoop of kitty litter eliminates most of the odor.
5 gallon water "keg"? I like the kitty litter idea. I will definitely check out the water keg.
survivalistonabudget You had a small job site water keg/cooler showing in the video. That size would work OK,but is really a bit short.
Matthew Wayer Oh! My bad I misunderstood. Right on thanks for the input. I agree the 3 gallon is not enough for a big trip. I have a 5 gallon too and will have to try it out on a trip.
Just remember that a water keg used in such manner, should never be use for potable water/drinking again. I just got an '09 Avalanche LTZ 1500,4×4, with 41,000mi.
For the screen. Glue some magnets,or magnetic strips to the screens. Get them from a big box store craft section,or hobby lobby.
I just used my avalanche camping this weekend, I didnt use a tent but just put a matress topper in the back, I had the issue of bugs in the window and plan on making magnetic mesh window covers, didnt really think of the rain though, so... lol
Awesome! I do that style of camping a lot too. Ward4peace has a great idea that I'm going to try as well for the windows. A thermacel works the best we have found for mosquitos.
So uhhhh where are the rest of the videos.. Its been a year lol...
turtlerochi lol thanks for commenting. I have been setting up this new channel and plan to actually put a couple of videos with us using the tent out on trips.
Cool. I just bought an avalanche and love the outdoors. Look forward to the new vids. Thanks
turtlerochi right on and Congrats! I will get them out asap
I suggest double sided Velcro I use it for everything I would also lookup the hula hoop shower curtain ring.
Alan Hunter thanks for the tips. I've bever heard of the hula hoop shower.
Great! What brand tent is this?
Draeckensteijn Media it was made by GM for the truck specifically.
Great video I'm on the fence about getting one of these I'm not sure but watching these videos are making it a lot easier to decide. Thanks again
Jeep guy 1980 OIIIIIIIO i love this truck. It has continued to serve us well
awesome I'm looking in to buying a avalanche
That knife by Winchester is not a full tang, it looks like one but the very short tang of the knife is tack welded to a longer tang that shows ... It is not one piece construction. look on CZcams and you will see where someone had the blade come apart !!!
I'm interested in using a worm tunnel to turn some piles of horse manure into compost BUT I live in south central Texas, we have a big problem with fire ants. I treat one mound and two more pop up. It's a real challenge to keep up with them. Do you have fire ants in your area and how do you keep them from attacking the worms? Any advise you can give is appreciated.
Is this knife a full tang?
Maybe magnets on the screen
Joseph Foster that is definitely the option we are looking at most now.
Looks great! I was thinking of buying this for my avalanche!
Hayden Conley I recommend it. We love it! Thanks for the comment
the original is not a rat tail. It's a push tang. Only one step up from a rat tail tang though.
got one today at tractor supply for 11 bucks
These don't exist online anywhere! It's a real bummer that I can't get my hands on one.
