- In this episode I am rain testing the OneTigris Hillridge Trekking Pole Tent. The results are not what I expected at all, but over all, considering the amount of rain we got the tent performed admirably.

Welcome to Review Outdoors! This is my first video on this channel. Review Outdoors is all about backpacking. I review equipment and trails. I will take you along on backpacking trips and let you experience the trail. This channel is agenda free. This means I am not showing you a product a company sent to me. When I review a piece of gear you can be sure that I have used the product and know the good, the bad, and the ugly, and I will share it all with you.

Thanks for these videos, couldn't find much information anywhere! I bet your chickens would love to get inside there 😅 Greetings from Ireland from a new subscriber!
Thanks for this review! I’ve been looking forward to it. I like this tent. I think the sagging is pretty normal for sil-nylon trekking pole tents. That little bit of water looks like it was a bit of a fluke the way it got in, with the tent full of gear it might not balloon up as much and it isn’t so much more than could drip in on any tent in the wind. I like it! Unfortunately now Amazon Canada has sold out 😄
I have this tent. Yes, the footprint should be about 1/2 an inch (for each dimension) smaller than the tent. SO to fix your pitch the guy-lines that go halfway up the side walls on each end should be staked about 7-10 inches out away to the side from the bottom corner stakes pulling the wall out from the center eradicating that sag where the logo is and keep the floor from curling up. Hope that makes sense and is helpful.
So glad you reviewed this tent. Been looking at it for me and my 6 year old son hiking together. I think I’ll take the plunge. It’s a good tent for the price it seems. Yes it has its flaws but hey it’s less than 150. Well designed tents of this style are 3-4 times as much
I agree with you. I think the little bit of water in the tent was actually a problem with the way I pitched it. I’m going to test it again and try to improve the pitch and see if that solves the problem.
@@ReviewOutdoors You mentioned not seeing the guy lines or stakes well... I've seen some use neon reflective tape/ribbon to help (ribbon usually starts to slide down though) and, unless they swap out the stakes for different ones, will spray paint the stake tops a bright color. Maybe I missed it, but are those guy lines fully attached (like Gossamer Gear tents)?
@lukebramblett66 You might like Geartrade 🙂I've seen some One Tigris tents on there, as well as other big names (Nemo, Big Agnes, etc). That is, if you're not opposed to gently used (sometimes just used once and I guess the person said nope nature's not for me😄, or every now and then brand new).
Good review. Some of guy line issues could be resolved by using a combination of shock cords to battle against the winds.
Good review, think this tent offer great value for its price point vs weight, like you said a cple refinments re structural stability and it would be top notch
Great review of the tent! Looks like a solid tent to stay dry especially for the price. Look forward to the next video.
Puddle of water in the tent. “I think this tent is waterproof “. What?
It was because of the way the pitch was. I haven’t been able to test it out again, but I have practiced pitching the tent and I do believe it was user error on why the tent had water in it.
