This may be my go to vid to fall asleep to from now on. The sound of the rain and wind flapping the tent sounds like so many welsh holidays. If you feel safe in the tent it’s time to enjoy the sound. 👍

Oh my gosh I can relate but in a real life story. So I was camping with my sister, my dad and my grandparents. And then the second night we were camping, horrible storm. I actually like ended up sleeping with my dad in his tent because I couldn’t sleep. Very bad thunder, lots of lighting, heavy rain, we were on air mattresses and was like sleeping underwater, and oh my gosh it was BAD. Thanks for the video, new subscriber!
Awesome video from a local! Benbrook area myself, all those storms come in from west of granbury. I’ll keep up with ya for sure, can’t wait for fishing and camping time!
Beautiful mimosa tree. I’m glad your house was just right there in case things had become more dangerous. I live in Alabama and we have yearly tornados. 2011 was terrible for us. Over half our town was destroyed. I had to fast forward a little bit because I was having anxiety. I would buy the North Face tent. Thank you for braving the elements.💖

@@LifeWithKernelLee I am in the UK and I would like to start doing some camping when its raining. Please could you tell me which brand of 2 persons tent I should buy that is waterproof and can stand strong wind at a good price.Thank you.
@@LifeWithKernelLee Thank you.I like the northface tent but it is far too expensive, over 400 dollars including postage and taxes to be sent to the UK.
I have an older version of the Eureka Mountain Pass 3 or 4. I had the roof vents open in sideways rain in south Florida. Never leaked a drop. Another good video. (No need to reply, just keep the vids coming).
I really appreciate your video I am in the market for the stormbreak 2 tent right now (along with competitors like talus 2, elixir 2, Tungsten 2, etc) and this answers a lot a my questions that the perfect weather reviews didn't, thanks again
Your video's are great as they show how these tents etc stand up in real bad weather as it's ok saying these tents can withstand this and that but seeing is believing so thanks 👌👍
I have the eureka suma 2 Love it Had 3 nights of torrential rain in the Pacific Northwest Camped on thick grass, no leaks and no condensation. I love the fact it looks bright and cheery inside the tent, even when it is gross outside

hello sir, I understand that you live somewhere in the state of Texas and you were testing two separate tents in a thunderstorm and tornado warning well i,m very glad that you stayed safe and all but let me tell you the truth my boyfriend sure would have really Loved to be there with you and expering that event he would have had a hayday for real too ok. 👍💯
Hello, I wanted to give campers a better alternative. Tornadoes don't always stay in their predicted paths and can change at anytime. People like me who live in tornado prone areas have another option. Public shelters!! Public shelters are popular with people who don't have a safe place at home. Find out the county you are in and do an Internet search for public shelters in that county. They open up normally when a tornado watch is issued. A tornado watch happens before a tornado warning. A tornado watch means that tornadoes are possibility in the area. A tornado warning is when a tornado has been spotted either by radar, by law enforcement, by trained spotters, and/or by the public and it is on the ground. You want to already be in a shelter when that warning is issued. It is extremely dangerous to be in an RV, any type of vehicle, a mobile home, and/or a structure with a wide span roof such as a gymnasium. Bridge overpasses are dangerous also. Don't try to outrun a tornado. Unless you are a trained spotter, you don't know which was it is going and under what conditions it will change it's direction. Even trained tornado spotters have been killed when out in the field chasing tornadoes. Cities which have had tornado touchdowns are more apt to have a public shelter. The county list for public shelters will give you information such as are pets allowed, is it handicapped accessible, is it FEMA compliant and other pertinent information. If you are in a site built home, go to the lowest floor away from outside walls, away from windows. Wear hard soled shoes (if your area is hit by a tornado and you walk in a tornado debris area, it can cut up your shoes), a helmet (most deaths are caused by flying objects which hit people in the head) and have a whistle and/or an air horn. First responders are trained to listen for air horns and whistles.
It looks like you and your tent are the highest point on the land that your on... perfect for a lightening bolt to strike you... hope you made it out of this storm OK...wish I would have seen this before I bought my tent.
I guess next time he does a test he'll camp in the valley near a river. Drowning is 99% guaranteed while a lightning strike is about 3-5% chance of Dieing or even getting remotely close to a direct strike.
Those are nice footprints. The tent that I just bought doesn't have one. What would you recommend I get that would be cost effective? I thought your other Eureka leaked...looks like the same one but a different color. Right?
I like them. Already had them out . 1. Is the navigator with snow skirt and 2. Is the 2person 4season with snow skirt. They have not been in bad weather. Thanks and will watch for more of your videos.
I actually have a Suma 2 and it went through some snow and worked great. How was it after the rain? Also, you mentioned Walmart tents. Last year I bought one and returned it when I found the Suma, but I will say it had aluminum poles. It was a lightweight 2 person for backpacking(reason I bought the Suma). Was that the one you tested from Walmart? It seemed like the features were pretty right on. Thanks. And I’ll be checking out your other vids. I found this from the Suma 2 review
Nick Navarro Thanks for watching, the Suma 2 held up well in the rain, no leaks. The walmart tent was an ozark trail 3 person tent. Hope you subscribe👍🏻
The Eureka may have been more stable if the back wall had been pegged. Downside for the North face IMHO is the lack of a storage area outside of the tent inner. For the cost I'd say those are two very decent tents.
@@LifeWithKernelLee Yes I subscribe to your channel ! Keep the videos coming !! We are due for severe thunderstorms after 9.00 Pm tonight in Milwaukee County ! Its 7.50 Pm !
Tell you one thing what would be super is for the tent companies to make an outside tent on the main tent…i mean an outside tent that will be forced into the ground with huge long nailing that could be screwed in the ground without having to have a hammer…
Sadly soon as the tornado siren went off, just as you start to say "you may not hear it cuz of the rain but that's a tor-" then no sound for the rest of the vid. Tried it twice and it dies save spot.
I don't mind so much getting a little water inside. I don't mind a little wind inside. But when the lightning starts striking 100 yards away I have a problem. lol
Cool Demo Kernel.. You might like a little gem I found ,on aliexpress , called the Mobi Garden plus 2 . Expedition tent. 133USD This tent is bullet proof.. Quality build and rivals North face and Terra Nova... For fraction of the price..
Awesome review 👍👍👍 Hands down how tents should be tested for real life situations..thank you for doing this..you'd be amazed how many people buy shitty tents and then get stuck in rough environments..👏👏👏
@@LifeWithKernelLee Hi..its me again..I've been looking g on line for that tent and stores show the Northface "Sequoia" tent and I'm not sure if it's the same or if its different then the Stormbreak 2?? They look almost the same. Maybe it's been renamed??
Wow mate and hello from northern England (the peak district). Now that is one hell of a test but good to see you don't mess with tornados. 20 yrs ago I was in Florida and went to see a tornado shelter. Phew is all I could say. In fact Homestead A.F.B. where I was staying had just been totally rebuilt after a tornado but the smashed buildings were still there to see. Tornados don't take prisoners do they.
REALLY ! THAT IS GOOD NEWS INDEED. ILL TAKE THE SUMA 2 BECAUSE IT HAS A ROOF VENT AND WHEN STAKED DOWN CORRECTLY IT IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE NORTH FACE TENT AND CHEAPER TO BUY.
I Really Love Camping in Bad Weather 😀 Makes it More Fun 😀 I Hope You Were All Alright in The Storm, I Think You Messed Up Your "FLY~¿SHEET" 😲 😦 Your "FLY~SHEET" Must Be Attached Properly with A Good Space in Between Your Tent Because it's The Tents Protective Sheet 😀 Really The Tent Needs To Be Put Up Securely Then The "FLY~SHEET" Put Over Your Tent, But NOT Touching Your Tent, it was Designed To Give You Good Air Flow, & To K Keep The Flys & Bugs Out, Hence The Name "FLY~SHEET" 🙄 Pretty Good Video, Thanks for Sharing it & God Bless ☺ Ps, i'm Really Curious About What You Were Saying About "WALMART" , We Don't Live Near To Such A Store, My Question is :~ Have You Tested Any Tents or Camping Gear, Sleeping Bags, Tarps, & Stoves ?, Because There Are Many Many People Who Shop At WALMART, & Am Sure This Kind of Research Would Be Much Appreciated By Many People ☺
Haze Hugs thanks for watching, im glad you enjoy camping in bad weather too. I have camped in “Walmart tents” ozark trail in bad weather and all have failed miserably. I hope you subscribe:)
@@LifeWithKernelLee that's good . I was worried about rain running under your tent. I'm not much of a camper but every once in a while I would like to try it. Maybe when my grandson comes back from Afganistan he will take me for a weekend trip. Good luck with your camping experiences and adventures. Thanks for enlightening me.
Yep. Same problem for me, after about 22:45, the sound goes out. I checked my volume, re-checked the sound was still in earlier sections, it is ok until after 22:45.
Life With Kernel Lee It was a so called pop up some tent that we bought in 1982. From Walmart. We used it for 20 years, then sold it. Camped across the USA several times.
Watching this video, I feel more confident in my decision to purchase the Eureka Suma 2! So how much water did YOU add to the tents? Here in Florida, in hot and muggy, I'd fill that bathtub floor in a few minutes with my own sweat 🤣
ever forward , it only leaked around the roof vent but I thought it performed well. Was a bit flimsy in the high winds but overall I think it was a good shelter from the storms.
@@LifeWithKernelLee wow quick reply . thanks .. gearing up for the AT in march and this was the only video i could find on how the tent preformed in the rain ..
ever forward , it will do fine, its a good light weight tent as well. Ive backpacked with it a few times. Been a great tent thus far. Good luck on the trails and happy camping. Glad to answer any questions👍🏻
Annette Millette Hi there, thanks for watching and subscribing, no water comes through the floor material. It is water proofed more so than the rainfly.

Ps, i'm Really Curious About What You Were Saying About "WALMART" , We Don't Live Near To Such A Store, My Question is :~ Have You Tested Any Tents or Camping Gear, Sleeping Bags, Tarps, & Stoves ?, Because There Are Many Many People Who Shop At WALMART, & Am Sure This Kind of Research Would Be Much Appreciated By Many People ☺
Haze Hugs thanks for watching, im glad you enjoy camping in bad weather too. I have camped in “Walmart tents” ozark trail in bad weather and all have failed miserably. I hope you subscribe:)
@@LifeWithKernelLee i Thought i Had lol, i'll Check That Now,
Thanks Alot, Happy Camping, & God Bless ☺💋❤
I'm loving the rain on your tent. Does your tent have bottoms to them to keep you dry ?
Retha Moore , the bottoms are water proof but normally I use a ground sheet under them.
@@LifeWithKernelLee that's good . I was worried about rain running under your tent. I'm not much of a camper but every once in a while I would like to try it. Maybe when my grandson comes back from Afganistan he will take me for a weekend trip. Good luck with your camping experiences and adventures. Thanks for enlightening me.
Retha Moore , that will be a very nice adventure with you grandson. Camping is fun even by yourself
@@rethamoore4282 If your grandson has been in combat, he might not enjoy the sounds of a thunderstorm now. Just sayin... 1st hand experience.
@@kerrischneider7693 , I know that's right. He also doesn't want to go to the beach anymore. He says he's had enough sand and no more beach ! 🙂
One gutsy guy!

Thanks for watching
this situation was getting 2 tents
👍🏻
What happened to the sound half way through the video and I too love the sound of the rain on the tent when I went camping 👍
Not sure, let me check
Yep. Same problem for me, after about 22:45, the sound goes out. I checked my volume, re-checked the sound was still in earlier sections, it is ok until after 22:45.
@@maverickmac1797 hopefully sound is fixed, thanks for heads up
@@LifeWithKernelLee same problem with sound..
@@jaylovestein6676 ok thanks, not sure what is going on, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt
We used to camp in wrath of god gully washers and the interior of our tent never got wet.
Linda Terrell
Yeah ive been in tents that were not treated to be water proof and ive experienced water coming in during rains.
Life With Kernel Lee
It was a so called pop up some tent that we bought in 1982. From Walmart. We used it for 20 years, then sold it. Camped across the USA several times.
Linda Terrell
Wow that lasted a long time. Almost all Walmart tents that are sold in store are not treated for water proof
Stay safe. We got slapped in Okla to.

North face makes good tents.

I agree, thanks for watching
Be safe buddy 🙏🙏🙏
Always

Watching this video, I feel more confident in my decision to purchase the Eureka Suma 2! So how much water did YOU add to the tents? Here in Florida, in hot and muggy, I'd fill that bathtub floor in a few minutes with my own sweat 🤣
Haha, i hear ya, cant really camp here in the summer. Central Tx prob more like what you get. Hot and muggy
I just subscribed to you
@@LifeWithKernelLee Thank you so much buddy! I really, really appreciate that. I'm getting closer to that 100 subscriber mark!!! 😍
@@KLR.Camper you can do it
so this video was primarily about the north face tent .. what happen to the eureka tent
ever forward , it only leaked around the roof vent but I thought it performed well. Was a bit flimsy in the high winds but overall I think it was a good shelter from the storms.
@@LifeWithKernelLee wow quick reply . thanks .. gearing up for the AT in march and this was the only video i could find on how the tent preformed in the rain ..
ever forward , it will do fine, its a good light weight tent as well. Ive backpacked with it a few times. Been a great tent thus far. Good luck on the trails and happy camping. Glad to answer any questions👍🏻
Good-looking guy, if you don't mind me saying.
👍🏻
this sounds and looks more like a tent review than a camping in the rain video
👍🏻
Been there done that 3 days ago 4 tornadoes total. Did I get nervous? a little bit. Great music.
Changing of the guard
Oh that is awesome and nerving, still exciting though. Thanks for watching
Does water come into the tent from the ground?
Annette Millette
Hi there, thanks for watching and subscribing, no water comes through the floor material. It is water proofed more so than the rainfly.
@@LifeWithKernelLee ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW THAT
Annette Millette for sure😎
ok
