Keep cranking out the content. You'll get on the CZcams algorithm sooner than later. Good stuff bro 👍
Appreciate the support! Got big plans for this channel 💪🏻
Been using a Gazelle pop up tent now for the past three years. It weighs about 30 lbs. 4 man tent.
I can put a cot inside it with a 4" inflatable mattress. Weight savings of about 100 lbs. And you can set it up and drive away from it.. You can set it up in less than 5 minutes when you figer it out. And they make a big, oversize, waterproof stuff bag to cram it back into. Whole 9 Yards for around $400 With good zippers....
I have this tent, after every trip when I am cleaning up, I clean and lube the zippers, I have not had any issues with the zippers.
It was good to meet you yesterday up in Azusa bro!
Good meeting you 👏🏻
I like the honest straight forward review of this tent.
Thank you! Gotta be honest about these products that’s what people wanna see!
Yo, I agree some of the details that hold the thing together suck. Even at 1200.00 you shouldn't have to change out zippers, nuts, and bolts. I think you're going to find if you use it alot it's going to frustrate you often. At the same time I really hope it works out.
Sure thing…we’ll see how it stands up to abuse after a year or 2 😬
Great video! Really makes sense. RTT is definitely not for me, but I can see the appeal. Love the hat you are wearing. 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Jase 👏🏻 It’s my favorite hat
I completely agree with everything you said bro....I'm also looking to replace my mattress with an air mattress so I can deflated and keep most of the blankets and pillows in there...gonna try anyway lol.
Keep your content coming bro.
Sure thing! Thanks for watching and appreciate the support
Air mattress suck for camping. If your talking about your average walmart air mattress. They have no R value what so ever. It's camping. Your sleeping in the woods or the wilderness. If you can't go without your creature comforts then don't go camping.
Target tent 20 years ago was $50. Still going strong.
Lucky you 😂
Quality review. I was wondering about that particular tent.
Thanks! It’s definitely a viable option just glad I can get my point of view out there
Great vid man tent looks nice!!
Thank you 🤙🏻
Honest as always
Thanks! Just tryna get the best info out there 👏🏻
Put a 2 inch foam pad in there with the 3 inch and you’ll be happy!
I’ll definitely try something like that 💪🏻
@@66Duffman I had there gen 1 tent loved it just hated that 3 inch mattress but good old Amazon has some cheap foam mats that I though on top and definitely made sleeping in that thing a lot better!
Add some old man emu heavy springs works great !
👍
honestly jsut used it for a 48hr airsoft event and decent wind wile i was on the field came back and aluminum brackets for the XL were ripped off and almost broke my window lol no recommenced. you cant lock the ladder into place during windy situations. also the cover for the tent ripped after some decent use needs to be reinforced better
A 100 dollar tent is all you need. You save 1-3 mpg and you aren’t adding so much weight to your vehicle. A ground tent isn’t any more difficult to set up than a roof top tent, plus you can set up your tent claim a spot and keep exploring in your vehicle. To easily put away a tent into the original packaging roll the tent using the folded up tent poles making sure it’s the same width as the poles, slides right into the bag
IMO is to leave the tent/camp where you're settled for a bit. and use the truck to drive around. I don't care for the rooftop type of tents.
Understandable! There’s a lot of people that feel that way
Yo, missed you guys
Took a small break but we’re back at it 💪🏻
Great reviews
Thank you 🤘🏻
I have the same one on my 17 OR 4x4 God dam if you get the fabric caught in the zipper what MFR to get unstuck ....total something about Mary...beans above the frank !
We’ll said 😂😂😂
Gas was $5 a gallon in West Covina. The Jeep needs to roam
😂😂😂😂 needs an “I did that” sticker
How good is this tent for extracurricular activities? 👀
I wouldn’t know 🏜
I have the Gen ll XL and it performed extremely well under the added stress of the extracurricular activities and with little or no room left on the bumpstops the Jeep didn’t rock or squeak at all.
Four out five stars because the mattress is a bit thin.
updates on how this thing is holding up?
So far so good 🙌🏻 didn’t have on the truck during the summer but I just put it back on and been using it on trips
Nice video. By the way where is George and what’s up with Finney (sorry I don’t know how to spell his name )
Thanks…they moved on to their own thing now 💪🏻
@@66Duffman will there be a collab in the future?
Let's go Brandon 🇺🇸
Where is Brandon going? 🥸
@@66Duffman if I asked him I don't think he would know unfortunately he would just say "Come on man" "you know the thing"
