Who is ready to see some tree-top level fighter jet action?
Coming up Friday!

Heck yeah, can't wait
Yes. I have flown in an F-4 Fighter upside down(long time ago)
Way way way too expensive. Rather get 5 tarps, a big roll of ducktape, and a solar powered beer cooler. Gotta keep the priorities straight. Then lets watch the fighters in lounge chairs.

have you ever done or thought of doing a review of an instant tent? like the coleman. i love them. sets up, for real, in under 2 minutes.
I can’t speak for their shelters but Sierra Designs knocked it out of the park with their Flex Capacitor backpack. Very pleased with that purchase.
7 pegs for a decent pitch is fine by me, plus 4 guy outs if windy, plus 2 if you want to use the porch feature which you probably wouldn't in a decent wind = the 13 supplied pegs. If you don't read the instructions carefully you will probably use the 4 guy out pegs near the pole mounts in the tent body instead of hooking the fly cord loops around the pole tips. My favourite feature is the really short length of the poles, so much easier to carry on a bike.
I was always taught that the footprint should not extend beyond the floor so it won't catch rain run-off.
if only they'd make these in more subtle colors. desert tan, ranger green, wolf grey...
Of all the tents on the market, this one strikes me as the the best. Both in design an colour scheme.
How about some 4season tent reviews..economical ones..it is winter in most parts.
Hello Luke, easy set up, can't wait for a overnight adventure with this tent, thank for showing the tent an set up. Have a awesome week an God bless you and your Family always.
Nice review and for those that have asked, It’s the Sealskinz waterproof trail hat. They don’t make it anymore but it can still be found. Luke has also don a review of it, a few years ago.
I really like that tent, Very well done on the review, Thanks
Great video Luke
You have a new ground sheet!! Orange is a nice colour.
Thanks for the video Luke! Love the hat...looks good on you : )
I do not have one of SD tents , but I do have some other their Micro-light pants and jackets . In one case I was wearing a ODR Mithral Hybrid in the fall and I had stuffed the $15 SD Micro-light jacket in my day BP along with the $20 pants JIC. I was scouting for deer and a new place to camp and only planned 2 B out 4 the day .My pants and ODR jacket were NOT stopping the wind and cold , threw on the SD Micro jacket and pants , problem solved !!! Was worried about pushing thru brush and stuff but they both held up . They are both PERFECT for day hikes and to use as wind breakers . STP did have them both at stupid low prices . Have used them both many times now , especially during moderate weather and as a layer to stop the wind , they weight NOTHING !! Great products both !!!!
Too many stakes for me. But I like the hat!! Keep it up Luke.
Well done.
Cool tent 😎
great vid. thx
Great video , thanks again
Hey Luke, saw a couple comments about your hat. In a future video could you mention the maker? Nice tent, love the shelf.
also...in heavey rain or chance snow the middle are droops...
Nice hat Luke!
Do a review on Sierra design high route 1 tent I want you to put it through your test I want to know about it
Awesome tent great review
Hi i like the design of the tent pretty cool
That awning would be nice during an all day drizzle, allowing one to run a stove . Plus the side opening door will make it easy to enter and exit the tent.
of course if you had a hat like that an awning is not necessary, lol.
Ba Da Bum
..great looking versatile tent..good info.
I live in the UK, much prefer a fly first set up.
Where is it made? And where do you sell the gear you buy?
Thanks for the video luke,i have an OR four season bivy but it's so hard to get in and out the high side with side entry looks much easier can you recommend others?
The way you have your ground cloth will turn it into a rain collector. Tuck it in just under the tent body.
Reminds me of my Marmot Starlight 2p, which was a great tent. SD seems to have addressed some of the Starlights flaws. Allowing for full cross ventallation and opening a side up for air. I would make sure that it's staked out well for breathing in rainy weather. I would be concerned about the mid section stretching in the rain causing dropping into the tent. Is there anything to address this?
Hay, this May I have my first backpacking trip coming up. Up to this point all of ever done is car camping. What is a good entry level 2 person tent? I live in Colorado and I'll be at an 8,500 ft elevation
It would be nice if you got inside the tent and showed us what features were in there.
If this tent is a 3-4, what tents are in the 1-2 range? That one looks super simple 😀 Love your videos, Luke!
Almost all two person tents are even easier than this. They don't have velcro straps for the fly, many don't require any guy lines due to robust pole systems, etc.
Always with the footprints hanging out past the tent bodies. Whether it’s this one or some polycro you’re using on other tents (that you would think you’d cut to size). Any moisture/rain is gonna catch or lay on the excess and find its way into the tent body. Are you using random footprints from other stuff? Do you use one piece of polycro for setup vids. Would make sense but I feel like I’ve seen you do the same thing on actual trip vids too. Discuss
Awesome video, the tent looks super cool and its very easy to set up, Btw, you have an amazon influencer page? Greetings from Mexico
Can i ask you a question???? What do you do for a living???
How does it compare to a snug pack . Price and size
Great video, this tent is only a 1 person tent I think? It looks a bit small to me for putting your gear in... the seperate fly means more versatility in summer but also longer setup process. So when its pouring rain your tent gets wet on the inside before you have time to put the fly on.... If this is meant as a trekking tent I pefer the more simple method, where the poles are on the outside of the tent and the inner tent is attached so I can put it up faster. The weight is ok for this pricepoint I guess. I use a Hilleberg Anjan, which is a 2 person tent that has about the same weight but....twice the space. Unfortunately this is also 2,5 times the price of this one, so I guess you get what you pay for... Pegs look good, however these guidlines, ring attachtments and poles look a bit dodgy to me, wonder how long those will last... color is ok but noy a fan....
keep the good videos coming !
This is basically just a larger/more complex bivy. I've been able to fit all my gear + me in my MLD Bug Bivy 2 by stashing loose gear in my pack and putting my pack under my legs. I could see there being enough space in this to squish your stuff off to the side, or since it has a vestibule just using that. This probably isn't a shelter designed with people who put a lot of emphasis on living space in mind, though the awning would do a good job with at least creating the illusion of more space. I've been looking for something like this to replace my tarp/bivy combo or Tarptent because I don't really use trekking poles anymore and just want a simple shelter with its own simple/small pole system so I don't have to run around looking for good sticks to pitch with when I get to camp.
What I don't get is why it has so many damn tie-outs. There's definitely to a way to simplify it with some home-made solution, but it's a bummer that they felt the need to over-complicate this for some reason. That's probably where a lot of the weight is coming from.
@@jackrabbit8842 The extra tie-outs on both ends are necessary due to the pole design. The main mesh panel at the top of the tent covers a large, unsupported distance, so it ends up being very loose when the tent is pitched. This is because there is really no tension being applied along the length of the tent. Attaching the four velcro loops on the fly to the poles and then staking out the guylines at the head and foot of the tent introduces enough tension to stretch out the mesh body and dramatically improve the internal area. The tent is still functional without these guylines being used, but the experience is a bit claustrophobic with the mesh hanging out you, and I doubt it would perform that well in strong winds.
Ahhh work can wait for an extra few minutes , Nice boonie hat cool hand. Arcteryx?
Nope, it's from a company called Sealskinz; I don't believe that they make it any longer.

how much does it weigh?
can someone explain why these Tents are out of stock everywhere? Like why are they not producing any tents wtf man.
Hi luke. Why don t we have the testing grounds anymore? Not enough success on the chanel?
…"for this, how do ya want to address the door", my answer, a simple "Hello, how do you do today door.." should suffice.
We need a Luke and Ira ROAD TRIP! Anyone?
Heck Yeah! We are talking about one right now at the moment.
- Luke
No Teletubbie yellow?? That's a deal breaker..!
Hey Luke love your videos but I see so many setup videos but do a setup and breakdown videos cause with me the breakdown is harder than setup.
If there is an issue with breaking the tent down I will say so otherwise it will be straightforward.
- Luke
@@TheOutdoorGearReview I have the MEIR 2 person tent and it's a great setup and easy but when I breakdown it down it seems harder
@@TheOutdoorGearReview let me correct myself it's the packing it back up
Not good if it’s raining
I wouldn’t waste my money on that tent.
Colour coding? Someone using their grey matter. Can’t have that. Lightweight swag. You didn’t add Roos to your wildlife critter list. 👍
Looks like a slightly oversized bivy bag. Not something I would want. I prefer tents that I can at least sit up in, to get dressed and undressed. Because you know it's going to rain!
Plastic clips...poor design for a ndy and cold conditions. also if clips are connected for a long period of time such as a winter storage the loose there integrity and wont last long...replace with a metal painted strap set up.
$279.00 for nothing new in design, materials or technology? There are tons of options out there for less money. I'll pass.
this particular tent is not my style
Not suitable for a family of 5 👍
Hahaha That is a valid point!
