Great tents! I have the Howqua 3 which is great.
Just a TIP... I added 2 extra short guy ropes, one at each end going from the centre of each pole tube to the ground. Just feed the poles through the loop of the ropes and peg them to the ground so you can quickly free stand the tent without the corner pegs. Then you can throw the fly over to keep it all dry and peg it out with only 4 pegs if you want to
Product ideas - tent cram sack, no folding or rolling pack up just cram it into sack, instead of putting your tent on top of a tarp to protect it use a sand mat, larger than the ten footprint so it extends into the vestibule, it’s like shade cloth so the sand an dirt falls through an you don’t track it into the tent, also makes a great dirt free area for packing gear, or just laying down shaking off that hangover.
Thanks Mark, those tents are bloody magic, they are fit for purpose and you have proven that out in the field when camping. Well done, glad you can recommend a product because you use it and it works well. Take care...yes I do have one, the two man I like a little room and the Hellenox bed is just bloody perfect!
Good Onya David :-)
Mark your videos are not only informative but entertaining as well that makes me your big fan.
I think if there's 2 of you going camping and you know you're going to be staying in the same spot for a couple of days or so, then both tents would be fantastic to keep all your kit and dirty gear in the smaller tent and the larger tent would now be more comfortable for two with just your bedding and clean clothing and the little things you use 👍 so I would get both and if I'm off on my own just take one 👍 great stuff mark 👌
Hello people; I did have the two man version. However I have now brought the 3 person Howqua because I want more room to store my stuff , a little more height, and enjoy. Thanks to you Mark showing and telling I know I am on a Game Changer...LOL....OK I am one happy customer ....
Good onya David! :-)
Nice tent. I'll keep it in mind if I ever decide to do a tent tour on motorcycle. I'm getting up there though there was nothing like waking up to the Grand Canyon.
Hey Mark you are one entertaining guy and those tents are fantastic at a great price point. Hang in there partner. Tim in the Arizona desert and still keeping on.
Hi Mark
Thankyou for doing other tent and you have sold me on them.
THANKYOU again.
CHEERS
Great review mate...……..I've had mine almost as long as you have !!!! Good to know that a replacement is available.
Hi Mark, those are good looking tents and as always a fun and honest review. Spot On...
Thanks for the review, great 'walk through' you have provided great context and sense of dimensions. I have opted for the 3 person in this tent as my dog is a sprawler, and it also fits a tiny camp dunny for those 'night time cbf'd going outside in the rain' moments 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Good for cycling too
Hi mark I purchased the Howqua 3 off you it turned up on Friday very happy with tent bloody awesome
Good Onya mate! :-)
Hi Mark Great review and I can agree with everything you said.
My order of the Howqua 2 (from your store) came on-time and I was able to use it last weekend in Bearii (on the Murray).
The quality of the tent is great and perfect size for me and all my gear.
Thanks again.
Good Onya mate! :-)
Very nice tents mark. I like the 3 man tent that’s bloody awesome heaps of room. Ride safe
Looks like a great tent. I'm kinda liking that big one even just for a one person tent (me.) Great review!
G'Day Mark! always enjoy your work looks like you do too; same area you set up in back when (2012 video) ?
Interesting to see the weather. I think promoting what y'all carry online in your videos is not target advertising a product, it's good business.
I have two tents to choose from the 2 man is really a one man tent the 3. Man is really a 2 man much like what you just showed us I wouldn't fancy sharing bit too close for my liking haha great little review I remember you doing the original tent with Harry when you lost yer jacket !
LOL that was a long time ago! :-)
i recon snow and ice would sit in that middle part and eventually collapse it, for snow you really need a dome tent or one of those single pole tents where snow cant sit on top but can slide down either side, snow and weighs a lot so you dont want it accumulating on your tent, a collapse at night during a blizzard could be deadly
Great tents! I like that cot too. Good gear.
Hey Mark awesome content love whatching your videos ledgend 👌
Thanks Mark, great video as usual. Keep on keeping on.
Nice looking tents Mark.
I'm in the market for a new moto-camping tent. So cheers for the great detailed review 👍
Mark, you’ve done a great job again. One question, as you said......the water will probably flow across the ground in this direction. When it does, and if in a heavy downpour, how high would it be if it flowed over the ground sheet, up over the upturned sides, into your tent. It looks like it could cope with 3 to 4 inches of water flowing across the ground. Yes/no? Good show mate!
At least 3 inches!
If you have that problem, I think you have other issues to deal with.
4 inches of water isn't 'rain' it's a flash flood lol; ur not that guy who camps in a wash are u?
Aos brasileiros que como eu, vieram aqui procurando informações sobre a Azteq Howqua, vou repassar um breve review sobre ela. Usei apenas uma vez porém achei uma barraca sensacional, alguns vendedores repassam que ela é auto portante, porém só fica em pé com os specs ou amarrada em algo. Em relação a coluna d'água a azteq promete 6000mm no teto e 3000mm no piso, no meu primeiro uso tomei uma chuva de umas 12 horas seguidas e + - 2 horas de tempestade intensa, não tive NENHUMA infiltração.
PRÓS em relação a azteq Nepal:
01-Nos pés há uma vareta a mais para que quando se encosta no fim do quarto o tecido não molhe.
02-Me parece ser uma barraca que aguenta muito mais vento devido a vareta adicional.
Contras em relação a azteq Nepal:
01-Sem as saias de neve que a Nepal tem a água acaba respingando dentro do avanço, assim molhando o que estiver ali, mas isso apenas em chuva MUITO intensa.
02- limitação de bolsos internos, a Nepal oferece mais bolsos internos enquanto a Howqua apenas 02, não que seja jm ponto negativo mas seria mais útil com mais bolsos.
Sinceramente achei a Howqua sensacional, não tive problemas de espaço, nem com a chuva e nem com o calor. Melhor de tudo com apenas 2,3kg (versão pra 02 pessoas).
Ótimos custoXBeneficio. Acho que a azteq acertou no pulo.
Great review Mark and your prices are awesome for what you get 👍
Awesome video as always . Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks mate! :-)
Great show'n'tell, thanks Mark.
Another great review. Well done Mark.
Mark, thanks . Good to watch mate !
Well done Mark, looks like I'll take the Howqua 2 then! I'll order pretty soon! Thanks again, I like it,sorry, I mean, I LOVE IT!
Great reviews. Thanks, Mark! 👍
Great review Mark! I really appreciate you labeling your buttcrack, I would have totally missed it without you pointing it out, smh, lol.
Plumber called it the Union.
In the UK we call it 'builder's bottom'. 👍
Great tents Mark!!
Mark,
Do you sell off shore.
Im keen on the 3 man, but i live a bit further down the plug hole in NZ.
Great review. Keep it up.
Cheers.
Love the camera work Mark👍
Hay Mark, i have just done a 3R (3 reasons why you have got the bike that you have ) and have nominated you for the same challenge (hope you dont mind) 🤔
i am sure that i am not the only one interested in the answers , so i hope that you will do this for us😁
but will understand if you dont 😢
keep well mate😎👍
Great tent thanks for the video
One of the best tent reviews yet and more dedicated to ADV riding great stuff cheers
These look really interesting, like a compact swag. Any chance you can set them up on top of a stretcher like a swag?
Can't you just put the stretcher in the tent.
Bloody good bit of gear mate , does the cot come in a double or at least bigger size ? , thought I might throw one in the 4x4 ;)
Nice camping spot out there at Victor’s Crack...😂
Nice review. Love the tents.
Are you going to have more of the howqua2 in stock? Thanks
Thought I had found the ultimate tent until I sore the poor ventilation, why didn't they make the mesh go all the way to the floor so you get the benefit of the flow through ventilation instead of lying in still air & not being able to see out.
Just seen price pop up 👍
Hi Mark,
Are you confident on your length measurement of the 2?
Websites suggest it’s 52cm long.
I’m looking for a tent that’s 50cm max to fit nicely in my pannier is why I ask.
Cheers
I'm so cheap, that I just bring a tarp... park on the edge and flip it over the bike. Then sleep under it on the other edge :) see cheap old man ( I do buy nice rubber ) that's it
Just purchased a 3 based largely on your review - Thanks mate!
👍
I like your boots, are they bike specific? Or just regular ones?
In a raging downpour, setting up either size tent would let water into the tent before you got the fly on. Is that correct? I'm interested. Great video.
Yes that is correct! :-)
👍
Just bought the 3. For a bike I thought the extra room was worth the weight.
Good Onya mate! :-)
Went to your site to purchase the H2 however you're no longer stocking it? Is this something the consumer needs to be worried about. Or have you found a better product? I was hoping to get from you to help support the channel.
G'day Nolan, thanks mate, but unfortunately we had to cut the tents as we could not compete with the bigger online stores! Still a bloody great tent. Cheers... Mark
I have the same Thermos and the bottle stopper is made so you can pour without removing it. Mine has two arrows on the stopper showing which direction to pour,
Yeah mine does too! :-)
can you buy these in the uk? do you ship to the uk?
Get a high quality headlamp and the toggles won’t be a second thought.
Too true! :-)
Hi Mark do you sell the cot and the camp chairs as well?
No sorry mate we don’t!
Hey Mark. I'm an old bendigo boy myself. On a totally unrelated topic could you do a video on your camera and microphone setup especially the set up on your helmet. I've tried to put a microphone into my full face helmet plugged into Garmin virb xe camera but I loose audio quality once I start moving. Not sure if you have done one in the past but an updated video would be great.
I recently did a solo return trip to Perth and videoed the whole trip and spoke the whole way only to come home with minimal clear audio.
Thanks
Mic.
Here a link to my first day on the trip.

Available in the USA ????
I don't think so!
Good stuff Mark. Would water pool on top in a downpour, and does it have a ceiling hook for a light?
No ceiling hook and no you just peg it taughter! :-)
Challenge ole mate.....winters coming on..... show us how the tents go in the snow season......double dare ya ole mate. Bit of wind, f...... cold, damp, snow, with or without Nads, a floating bed, ya best “single” sleeping bag......remember kids could be watching, no nonsense, ha ha. Whatayathink!
Price on the 3 person ??
Pro tip: don't buy a tent that's too big for you. Don't buy a 3 or 4 man tent for one person. In winter you'll never warm it up
How much is the speed hammer mate at 11:22 ??? I want one real bad.
LOL :-)
Only we Australians can make a Vestibule sound like vegetable. 👍
LOL :-)
Good spella lol
Australian spelling! :-)
Anybody know if this is available to buy in the US? Thanks!
I don't know of a US place that sells them.
@@BikerBits do u ship the 3 to the US, and are these stil available
I didn't know you were a plumber haha
I was not gonna say anything but that there, that comment is funny right there. Crack happens
Bloody idiot, love it ❤️🦘🦘🦘
Diameter :-) just saying....
Can be spelt both ways! I went with the Australian way :-)
@@BikerBits Its not in your Aussie dictionary www.australian-dictionary.com.au/wordcheck/index.php?word=diametre. Not sure what book your looking in . :-)
Always take your muddy boots off.so this means everything you are showing is brand new.do a show in a rain storm.
