  • I spent the night wild camping in a budget £30 pop-up tent from Go Outdoors! Is it really as bad as the reviews make out? Did it survive the wind and rain?

      I replaced my last tent after it leaked. It had served me very well for a number of years (I reckon maybe twenty weekends in it and I paid about £60 or £70 for it), but only about a year after re-waterproofing it, a weekend of really heavy rain last October proved too much, so went for something bigger with a higher HH. Although I've only used it once so far, I should be using it at least four more weekends this summer plus taking out my lightweight wild camping tent (also only used once so far) a few times, too.

    Thanks for this, Ben. You said something I've tried getting people to understand... it's not always about having the best, most expensive gear. It's about going out with what you have and can afford and having fun. If you can afford all the expensive gear, GREAT! If you can't, don't be ashamed, just get what you can and enjoy as long as you're safe. And I had several laughs in there, so no worries...some of us understood the humor 😂

    I used a very similar tent for a music festival once, and for that specific experience, it was quite suitable. Summer temperatures, packed campgrounds where a small tent is at a massive advantage in securing a spot, very little time spent sleeping and, let’s be honest, most people in a state of inebriation that produces a general disregard for hygiene, comfort and the concept of tomorrow.
    I’d never in a million years recommend it for *actual* camping though. This kind of tent is the outdoor version of crashing in someone’s armchair at house party. You need to be drunk, exhausted and under 30 to tolerate it.

    I bought a similar tent in 2008 for a week-long trip to Le Mans. We drove there in a small sports car so the size when packed was a plus. First few nights I was waking up in the middle of the night with my heart racing, feeling like I was having a panic attack. Unlike the one you got, mine was end-opening and only had one vent, which it turned out wasn't big enough to provide fresh air and I was basically suffocating every time I was in there for more than a few hours with the door shut. Thankfully the weather was good that week so I just cut a few extra speed holes and all was ok in the end. But the moral of the story - make sure any tent you buy has decent ventilation. And don't camp for a week in a tent the size of a coffin...

    "Camping is supposed to be fun" - I felt deep. I convinced a buddy to go out with me last year and we actually took the time to...wait for it...build a campfire! I couldn't remember the last time I built a campfire I had gotten so caught up in the "how can I hike X miles in Y days" mental rat race. I had such a good time and it was SUCH an important lesson for me. In 2 days I will be leaving work earlier to go camp over night. It won't be a cool hike. It will be at a pretty small state park. It will just be an evening with no TV sitting in front of a campfire...and I am SO looking forward to it. We need more people speaking this message: this is supposed to be fun!!!

    Those who don't care about wearing the most expensive brands and having the latest, most expensive tents are the ones who get the most enjoyment from their gear and probably walk further/more often than those who simply use their gear as a fashion accessory.

      You don't need the best, most expensive stuff, but spending a bit more on some decent quality gear will prevent a lot of headaches later and give you the peace of mind that's needed to actually enjoy yourself outdoors. There's no point spending 30 bucks or whatever on a shitty tent if you're just going to be wet and miserable, and out 30 bucks for a product that won't even protect you from the elements. You're better off spending a bit more to get something better.
      Also, most people who regularly do huge trips in the backcountry generally do spend more on gear, as the gear needed for long backpacking treks in gonna be lighter/more durable than cheap shit, so you're wrong about that.

    I have a Night Cat 1 person tent that is a pop up similar to this one, but it is actually quite well made, doesn't leak at all, and does really good in the wind. Plus it is super quick and easy to put up and take down. Packing it up is actually quite easy once you learn the proper technique. It's just twisting it into 2 figure 8s pretty much. It also can be used as a cot tent. Which is pretty cool. So if you want one of these that is actually dependable and still affordable then go with the Night Cat version. Or any of their tents, I have several and they are all great for the money, all of their stuff is really. 😊

    Good video. I've always camped with as little gear as I can manage, so I appreciate your comments - it's about having fun! Which does not include getting wet. Any tent I've bought I get seam sealer and go over every seam inside and out. I stake my tent at the spot least likely to have pooling. I prepare the spot by piling duff where it's thin and smoothing it where it mounds. I use a ground cloth under the tent. And I use a rain fly. Easily obtained at thrift shops. Even the cheapest tent, treated with a bit of care, will do well enough.

    I bought a 4 man tent for a camping trip a few years ago. Our motorhome was in for some warranty work and we were due to meet up with some German friends in Wales. The tent was mid range in price but on the first rainy night the same thing happened. Water began leaking through the seams. Apparently this is common on new tents. I was advised to errect the tent on a dry day and spray the seams with fabric waterproof spray. I used a cheap spray from Aldi. The tent was later used by friends in Devon. There was a huge storm one night. They slept in the car as they thought the tent would blow away. Next morning the tent was still there and the inside was dry as a bone.

One of the rods was already broken from an earlier camping trip - its only prior use - during which a drunkard fell on me in the night. They're great for a couple nights camping with mates in the summer if you don't camp often, but the lack of any weatherproofing at all wasn't nice for extended use in the Winter.

We woke up after second night after a great nights sleep, to find the rest of the site in complete carnage, due to the wind overnight.

    I had one of these for a cheap-and-cheerful motorcycle camping trip. I'd seen similar reviews about the waterrproof/condensation issue and so took a tarp with me. It did rain on me, although did ok given one night it rained quite hard, but to help it out I strung the tarp from my bike, over the top of it with a couple of pole and then pegged down and it did the job. My other complaint was that it was only just big enough for me. I'm just under 6" and my feet were touching the end, which wasn't great. But it had cost £14 and was nice and light.
    But if I was doing super-minimal camping I'd go for the bivvy-tent. The only thing these pop-ups have going for them is the set-up speed and cost.

Yes that is a tent since it does allow you to sleep in it and does provide a cover overhead. Also you can use scotchguard and spray the outside of the tent before you go out camping.

    I mean, I'm 5' and 100 lbs so I can't pack much weight when my dog and I go backpacking, so I'm generally perfectly happy with a couple tarps and a mummy bag, or a single tarp, a hammock and mummy bag, so this would be fancy digs for us even in the snow. I don't remember the last time I could use a real tent. 😂
    Although between her claws and my fussy sleeping the tent might not have survived the night! And if it's going to be below freezing or snowing, leaks are a no-go for me. I'd rather be in the trees.

    Cool review! If it's cheap it's to be expected, if anything it might be something to teach budget minded people to a couple tarps as a canopy and one to place under the tent. Good for sleeping in only, not good for rain, bigger and better tents exist but may be pricier and harder to set up.

    I got a two piece tent for like 70€. It only has one supporting arch. The setting up only takes like 5-10 minutes. The other layer keeps the water out while the inner layer is made from insects mesh which let the air in but none of the uninvited guests.

  • @MARTINREN1231

    if it had a good air circulation while having no leak, it might be a good emergency tent since its pretty compact. Sadly, it looks like it will stay as "kids first time camping" indoors type of tent.

  • @ares395
    @ares395 Před 2 měsíci

    I have a pop up tent that was quite cheap, it's like a pyramid style. It looks rather stupid but I've used it for 2 5-day trips so far and it works well enough. I wish I bought something a bit better though, but I won't throw this one out when it works still. It was advertised as 2 person tent but with bags it barely fits me at an angle. One thing that I really dislike about camping is that my back is very bad so sleeping on the ground makes me miserable for the entire event but im already at the limit of what I can bring to that event as one person so I can't bring a mattress or a foam roll or anything like that. Sucks because with current prices this is the only option really for accomodation. And the cheaper apartments are always permanently reserved for people that go every year to the same place.

  • @shiftyferret9654

    I’m a little confused, does no one use good canvas tarp barrier between the ground and the tent?
    I couldn’t imagine comfortably setting up camp without one. They protect your floor and offer an extra defense against rain seeping in. Not that it would have saved this ‘tent’.

    With all that gas I see why you camp alone! If you gave this a decent water proof spray it might not be too bad for a smaller person. That spray is pretty cheap and I apply it to just about any tent I buy regardless, it's just one extra layer of protection and it works really well but I have completely forgotten what it's called, it's been a while since I used it.

    ❤Stink test experiment: please test...wash your hiking clothes (t-shirts, pants, socks underwear, hats scarfs etc whatever you shall be wearing, including shoes). Once done re soke everything in a large sink, bath etc in warm water which contains a good amount of baking soda for at least 30 min. Rinse. Spin in a washing machine, and leave to dry or use tumble dryer until dry. Before you go hiking put your feet in a small tub of water containing baking powder... And also put some baking powder under your arm pits etc. after some time say 10 min..dry your self etc...the idea is that baking powder is a natural germ killer and deodoriser. If there is no bacteria present on your clothes and self you should not stink.. at least not to quickly.. then go on your hike... Please test for how much longer you stay stink free.. thanks a fan from the tiny island of Malta
