super cool tent but there is no way I can justify spending $4300 for a tent, no matter HOW cool it is!
You and I are on the same page Keith. - Luke
Ditto. That’s four months of house payments!
That price is for the rich and famous. Hope they enjoy.
Well, I can actually....sure, I have to divorce my wife but I get one hell of a tent for it....still thinking about it.
Give me an old fashioned,real military option with the Polish Lavvu.Heavy bugger but would keep you alive and rain free.This price point seems geared to Goldman-Sachs employees.
I bought a Litefighter 1 and a cold weather kit because of your reviews. I hope Litefighter understands your influence on sales of their products and follows through.
Same here, we had not seen them much in the UK and Luke tested it and asked questions/showed results of areas I wanted answers so I went ahead and added that kit to a number of areas we needed light and small shelters. Luke tells it like it is and doesn't flog product to line his pockets, hence he has huge respect from his followers
I did exactly the same so there's a couple of sales for litefighter based on a good TOGR review!
Same here. After seeing the review of the Litefighter 1 tent and actually looking for a great quality tent I purchased one with the cold weather kit and absolutely love it, so I definitely hope Litefighter takes note of the influence the Outdoor Gear Review has based on their honest reviews of products.
It's number 1 on my wishlist list but I'm waiting till I find one at a reasonable price on marketplace. I don't get to go camping enough to justify 400$ for a 1 person tent.
The price must be a government contract cost. No civilian would buy something this expensive.
Only customer I can think of if not the military is PMC'S or foreign military in bulk. So basically still government waste of money, unless this thing can last a few decades of constant abuse.
Yes they will. There's no shortage of fools. They're selling pickup trucks these days in triple digits. You'd have this tent longer after the 95k new Ford superduty has rusted out lol.
I already bought one
I have one!
See ^ I told ya lol.
The price for this tent is insane, it's the equivalent to 2-3 Hilleberg tents and Hilleberg is absolutely top of the top.
Apparently not
Hilleberg is over priced to hell.. it's like buying a sig mcx 🤣
@@maximusjoseppi5904 Hilleberg tents are the best value on the market. They are lifetime tents. How many Hillebergs have you owned?
@@TomKirkman1 2. and they are over priced to hell. i would never buy another one. you can get WAYYYY better value for your money without any compromises.
i cannot imagine you writing hilleberg and value in the same sentence with a straight face..... haha. talk about buyer's bias
@@maximusjoseppi5904 but they work, black label in serious winter storms and you can get up in the morning with the tent still there. Unsure what you are using that is much cheaper and same ability, but you will need to show us your experience and weather tested in?
It would be an interesting winter, hot tent blizzard condition, weekend test review! The price is rediculous UNLESS it is as good as advertised in all areas as an expedition tent, then it is up to the people shelling out those big bucks to decide if the price is too much or not. Your reviews are always spot on here Luke!
A Haven Tent Safari with an insulated pad, a pomoly canvas tarp, and pomoly titanium folding stove are much better options than all of these things. People don't understand that just because something is produced for the military, doesn't mean that it's better than what's available on the commercial market.
Your reviews are the best. 100% objective. Thanks for your work.
I stopped watching the moment Luke said $4,300. I don't have time for this nonsense.
It's interesting,
$4,000 tent ??? That looks like $1,200 tent , I don’t think it’s worth $4,000, that’s ridiculous and insane , I would love see you do product test review on this tent. Then we can see why say it’s $4,000 tent .
Not in my lifetime would I spend that kind of money on a tent, unless it was made for a nuclear fallout shelter 😂 thanks for your review we appreciate you Luke.
Do you hike mount everest? Or in blizzards? Hurricanes?
@@maximusjoseppi5904 Nope..but those who do tend to use hilleberg tents and you could buy 3 of them for this tent 🤔
@@silentmoniker both of those comments are incorrect 🤣 especially the 2nd part. A comparable hilleberg will cost the same as this.
Nice looking tent but not for that price
@@maximusjoseppi5904 no I don't, but if I did it wouldn't be with a 37 pound tent.
Nice and informative Luke, thanks as always! A little over $4K would get you a nice used pop-up camper or even a smaller hitch pull camper!! LOL
For that price, I do not see a huge amount of sales, unless the military purchases them. And it had better be one tough tent! Soldiers are rough on gear, being an old retired Abrams tanker, I can attest to that first hand!!
Na wealthy people will love it up for the house like feel
Definitely - and at 37lbs. you aren't going to take this thing any further than a few yards from your vehicle - costs about the same as thirty nights in a motel too
Wow! Pricey! I suppose that, if you are an expedition guide, have thoroughly pre-tested the tent, perhaps you would be well served. Agree with your assessment Luke!
I see this being used as a camper alternative for offgridders/homesteaders while building or renovating their house. Potentially used for charity deployment for staff in desaster areas (hurricane/earthquake/other natural disasters) as sleep or office space when a trailer or camper is inconvenient to get situated.
It would take a government to pony up that kind of money for tent shelters. The disaster application kind of makes sense.
Love the reviews and videos, Luke. That's an awesome tent, but $4300? Hard pass.
Yeah...I'd just buy a Canvas Wall tent for like $1000 less and more than double the room
Could not imagine ever spending anything even close to that kind of money for tent. That thing looks like nothing more than a glorified car camping tent. Although military style tents are definitely very cool I find the weight is usually an issue. Even for the ones you would use for backpacking. Like the videos and I definitely respect your reviews of gear
This is the moment when buying a Coleman tent seems to be a reasonable idea…….🤪⛺️
@@redsorgum lol very true
I Have a LiteFighter 1 because of your videos, and absolutely love it. The price of this tent is out of reach for me. But I’m sure, as you mentioned, that there is a niche market out there.
Love you Man, your reviews are spot-on and thorough. I'm going to preface this by saying I have no objection to spending money on quality gear. Hilleberg and Fjallraven are products that are worth every cent in my opinion. That being said, I believe you have a product here by Litefighter that is built and priced for government contracts, not civilian use. You honestly looked like you were going to choke when you said it was $5000 all told and I can feel you on that one. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do the review.
I think this would be good to invest in for those who have to evacuate their homes or bug out and possibly never come home at all. It's basically a bulked up 4 season hot tent/cabin that you're family could comfortably live in and stay warm no matter what season it is. If the materials that make up this tent are quality and long lasting then it might be worth 2k
The materials can only last so long under the ultraviolet light without breaking down the materials (as a long-term tent staying erected for a year or more, I think.
@@rthompson884 pitch a tarp over it
Luke with 4000 I would buy a used RV, great video and you are so smart, you are a very intelligent person
Looks awesome and would love to own one but even if I had the money I just couldn't justify that amount of money for a tent. Hilliberg tents are about as much as I would consider spending on a tent. Great review as always!!!!
If it was your home ..maybe a homeless person
If you are going away from society and in the depths of nature, money is not an issue- staying alive is. This tent would be priceless.
I was watching one of your tent reviews last night and thought to myself how cool it would be if you would review this same tent👍👍👍
I spent 100 on my first 6 sleeper dome tent. It lasted my family 15 years. In fact, i think my daughter still has it. Loved that tent
Personally, I think that would be a cool multi person spacious tent that could work down here in the South where we don't necessarily get freezing rain and snow, but it would definitely be more than a splurge... that is very steep. The amenities are nice though. Time will tell if you get your hands on one. Hold a space for the highest good.
Luke, for that price it has to carry itself, set itself up and make dinner with a movie!🌲⛺️🌲
Looks like a great insanely expensive tent lol. Check out the Army crew tent , it's huge and a 5 man tent . We loved them , huge and heavy but bombproof. Thanks for the video
Absolutely love this tent. Bought one in great condition n it came with the inside liner too at garage sale. $100.
As an average person, there is no way I'd spend that kind of money on a tent. Aesthetically speaking, Great looking tent but that price is like you said, insane!
Thanks, Luke. I’m also suspiciously curious as to the materials and testing…and…..I can’t stop laughing whenever I remember it costs $4,299.00. LMAO 🤣
I spent 19 years in the Army, and all of my time served was as an Infantrymen. I can tell you from my personal years of experience that 8 men with gear will never fit in this tent. I have spent time in Alaska where we lived in the field for weeks at a time.. With that in mind look up the stats on the Army's 10 man artic tent w/ liner. Compare those to the tent in question. As for the UH 60 Blackhawk 40 yards or less from the tent in the photo. I have worked with and flown in those aircrafts more times than I care to claim. The rotor wash from the main rotor is massive. If Litefighter is so sure of their shelter they should produce a video that can be verified of such an aircraft that close to their tent. Keep up the good work!
Looks amazing but.. 4300 ? I think it's better if they make one with a pool inside and some disco lights at least! My best wishes 🙂
It's great hearing you explain the price vs the actual materials. I am a huge fan of exposing fraud done by greedy companies who are taking advantage of peoples ignorance, e.g. sleeping bags. It's basically just a bivy stitched to a duvet, which can be found in some charity shops for less than £10 that would make comfortable all sessions. The stove adjustable sleeves is attractive, but definitely good point about the price. You could probably make a tent twice the durability, twice as big for that price.
Its a lovely looking tent, and the specs are impressive, but 4k is a bit spicy for my budget.
Back in the mid 90s I worked as the manager for a sporting goods store and bought a Kelty 8 person dome tent. It is about the same dimensions but with only 4 doors and cost me just over $300. I still have and use that tent when car camping. it does have fiberglass poles, not aluminum, but there isn't $4,000 worth of difference between the 2 tents.
I love your videos Luke and while I love buying American, have you ever considered the tents and systems they use in Europe? Typically they're much more substantially built to withstand extreme weather all year. Companies like Vango, Fix International etc. I'm especially enamored with their Bivvy Systems for carp fishing. 5000mm hydrostatic tested up to 20,000 mm! No separate flys, vinyl windows for viewing in inclement weather, storm straps outside and in. They really have awesome tents in Europe. Check them out!
ya i mean i just moved to mexico from canada and the outdoors gear was great and i find a fair price but im nit sure about mexican quality
Russian ice-fishing tents seem a better option and and considerably more affordable.czcams.com/video/dkzOFVmyClo/video.html
@Fou ya lol
@Fou gonna get real chilly here in merida
@@stinkmod2297 Mexican quality is generally good l find.They make excellent Fender Strats and Teles so camp gear wouldn't be a challenge.
I have a Coleman 6 person tent purchased on sale for $99 with a big waterproof tarp that I cover the tent with, purchased for around $35. Great for 3 seasons. No reason for me to consider a tent like this. But, I love your videos, carry on!
Very cool looking tent. Excited to learn more about it but definitely will not be buying a tent worth double my car lol
Yes i've got one of these bad boys and you're right the communication is lacking - the poles have frost sensors which triggers the pole defrost system to initiate,bugproofing is achieved using military grade Novichok, the 8 doors are fully automatic - electrically controlled,it is centrally heated,has a power shower,flushing toilet, the fly is a whopping 35000 HH so it can be used for underwater surveillance,the groundsheet boasts being the same quality as finest Persian rug it is fitted with a washing machine,tumble dryer,dishwasher and vacuum cleaner,the zippers are solid gold and the diamond studded toilet roll holder is just a sheer touch of class..Sadly,it caught fire.
Hello Luke, I hope all is well. I was wondering how that Osprey Unltd was working out for you. If possible, I would love to see and hear your opinion about that pack. I understand a lot of time goes into these videos, so I want to thank you and Susie for yalls time and dedication. Have a great day: strength and Honor.
The things looks awesome and highly functional. I think they should send you one for review, absolutely. Even if they want you to send it back, which I can't imagine
I watched this video until you said the price. I paused the video at 2:19 because I simply can’t afford watching another second, literally. I love your content and will always be a fan.
I ordered mine on Sunday and it just arrived this morning. Very fast shipping. Great customer service so far. We'll be setting it up this weekend.
Brother you have gotten my amazing wife hooked on outdoor equipment. We love the way you do your reviews....
I would want one for my gear that is just in case the world falls apart.... But at that price point I can't bring myself to do it. We will stick with our Springbar tent.
If you were able to get them to fix their defect... maybe they will rethink their price point.
We have actually camped out in Wyoming in the Spring-bar tent. It's more than adequate at 1/4 of the price.
Thanks for all you do!!!
As someone who "car camps" (medical issues), I could get a good quality Canvas hunting tent with stove, screen windows, rainfly with awning, etc. for half that price. Not packing it in, the extra weight and gear (poles, stakes) is not an issue. I can't see anyone backpacking that monster unless you had a group with the load of gear distributed between several people. But still, the price is crazy. Just my opinion.
Would be a perfect fit for our family camping.But needing a bank loan for a tent is crazy high. Sticking to our current tent lol
Little Brother...another great episode. Thanks for what you're doing. Strength & Honor!!!
Luke you owe me a pair of shorts because I dropped a load when I heard the price.
$4k+?... that price should include a vehicle to transport it
Hi, NorthFace has several geodesic tents that are phenomenal. $1,300 - $6,000. 4-8 person options.
I love hanging out on the coast. My requirements are limited to keep out the sand, rain and stand up to heavy winds.
Congrats on 500K subscribers!
I had to rewind and replay when you said the price. Thought my ears were deceiving me! WOW!
Since your testing is so thorough, I wouldn’t even consider this tent at this prices UNLESS you are able to review it and said 👍
You are truly for the people man. I watched a good few of your vids and could not help but subscribe now. Maybe the company thinks that if somebody buys this tent for $5000 with the lack of information then they must be rich and will simply go out and buy another tent when it leaks or blows over in the wind, they won't have to deal with comebacks lol
Luke, love the tent but not gonna happen for me. Campings supposed to be relaxing, lol. I could never relax in a tent that cost so much. With that said, you've got the most natural and calming voice ever. Keep the video coming!
Honestly the price is not very surprising. This is about what 8 person expedition tents go for. Hilleberg's blue label Atlas 8 person tent goes for over 4000$ once kitted out with an eight person inner, and vestibule.
That said, I do not think the dragoon is intended for Mountain base camps. It seems more aimed for jungle/desert expeditions, which would explain the multiple HVAC hose ports. I do wonder how 4 season/windproof it really is. It also appears to be single wall from the pictures, which would force you to heat it or deal with walls freezing solid from exhaled moisture.
The price alone doesn’t eliminate most potential customers. It’s the weight. 37 pounds. They’ve eliminated every user who would transport a tent on their back, something I’m sure they are aware of. That leaves either horse/mule (a stretch), vehicle or helicopter transportation options. Once you eliminate a military application (which itself may be very limited), you’re left with such a tiny sliver of the population. It’s essentially the equivalent of a $1M car.
The most expensive tent I’ve ever seen was like $800 dollars and it was a 4 room family house tent with a bathroom and two closets…..wtf this price is outrageous
My Powerball tickets keep letting me down so I will have to pass on this! LOL!
I bought the light fighter system & cold weather add-on thanks to your videos I cannot wait to try it out. I did buy their bug repellent as my family lives in a rural area it seems to work
LiteFighter makes some very cool products, but the problem I have with the LiteFighter 1 is that it's too small to have your pack inside with you. This is fine in a military camp where you have sentries and nobody is going to steal your gear because it's all the same, but it's NOT fine in most of the civilian world (think campground or Appalachian Trail). It's also a bit heavy compared to some less expensive civilian tents like the River Country 2.2, which also offers room for 2 people or 1 person + gear. And the LiteFighter 2 is not competitive at all in the weight capacity. That ability to turn it into a 4th season tent is great, BUT there are also some affordable and lightweight functional dedicated 4th season tents out there. Now, to be fair: the weights for both LiteFighter 1 and 2 are not so high as to be unacceptable, and the quality and durability are impeccable. But for any single purpose you can do better with another brand.
I’m seeing the subscriber count at 500K! Congratulations your channel is reaching so many people and helping us see whats good and whats S$?!. Keep it up my friend. 🎉
Thank You Luke, I take your word Go Susies LOVE and GOD Bless You all 💜💙
Seems like a mini Base X style shelter. Base X replaced the classic super heavy larger military tents from the 40s etc., also incredibly expensive brand new. This is definitely marketed for like a whole crew of expeditioners where they may all pitch in to get the finest available option to sleep together in any environment. For me it appeals as like a straight up replacement for a tiny cabin/home out on the land as semi permanent shelter.
@Fou Appeal is one thing, acquiring is another!
You read my mind about using this on Everest. For that kind of money, it should've been light enough to tote up to ABC or maybe even North Col. I'll be interested to see if they let you review it and if the price turns out to be (somewhat) justifiable or if it's just high-end tacti-cool.
Compared to Large $40,000 Army tents that require 6 people minimum to lift and set up, having 4 of these that can be carried by one person is a great trade.
Apparently they watched your video here's what's on their website today: Made of the most durable materials and superior craftsmanship, the Dragoon tent body is constructed of 70D Ripstop Nylon with 5,000mm+ waterproof urethane coating and DWR finish. The vents are made of 40D Nylon No-See-Um Mesh. The Floor, Reinforcement Points and Sleeves are constructed of 210D Oxford Nylon with 5,000mm+ waterproof urethane coating and DWR finish. The Dragoon is the shelter of choice for the discerning outdoorsman who needs to seek refuge in a quality shelter to withstand the harshest conditions.
I'd LOVE to get this tent!!...
RIGHT after I win the LOTTERY...
I got this tent, but the wife got the house , the truck, and the dog. I'm sure missing the dog! Lol
With house prices getting beyond crazy this tent maybe a great option. 😊
Add to the cost of houses the insane property taxes and insane utility costs, all of which keep insanely going up ! It is as if our economy is being sucked into a black hole.
Insane is an understatement! For that price you should have all and any info you want or need, also include the stove and any accessories it’s equipped for. $4300 was not spent on material and design we all know that. It’s a tent!
Alaskan Husky Dog Sled business, hunting camps, outback trail guides, base camp for climbers. This is a YURT put it up and leave it up.....bomb-proof shelter for a stay and play adventure. Business owners could right-off the cost or purchase several for a discounted rate. Appears worthy of consideration for large group activities. Cheers!
I would be terrified to leave this tent unattended at a campsite.
What if you left it, came back, and you discovered an armed squatter whoa
My thought is simple: What kind of equivalent space high quality kit set can _you_ put together with a budget of $4500?
Looks like good stuff…..but horrible expensive and overpriced! Typical of the government….wasting my tax dollars!
4 grand dropped my JAW. I was expecting like 1500 bucks MAX. You could build or buy a solid solo mini camper to pull behind your car for that price. With the term "mild weather shelter"? I can't see many people buying this thing. Also Luke, I FINALLY found and got my Fjallraven Abisko tarp, Ray Mears got restocked. Thanks for turning me onto it.
That's funny in Canada here we have an armored regiment named the "Dragoons" not sure if it will as tough. Lol
Looks like a great tent but $4300! I’ll never get one lol but it would be cool to see a review for one.
I like the tent and yes over the top in cost. But,,, I’m camping and still building on a van and a tent of this size as well as being a hot tent could be awesome. I’m 65 many injury’s due to work and I can’t backpack far. And snow is a no show (backpacking). 6’5” 250 and injuries slowed things down a lot. So the size of this and the capabilities for myself if proven to hold up. May have to dig deep! 😅 If possible I’d like to see up coming reviews on Material, weaving ect. And Thanks for gear review. I take it and the channel seriously.
Thx Luke Wolf!! 😊
Im not gonna lie i was waiting for the dragoon review to show up eventually. Haha
4,000$ tent 🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱 maybe if i was going to climb Mount Everest u might need this 😉 😀 🤔 ... lol i stoped the video ad soon as u said 4300$ and said mount Everest and u said about it that the end of video i laughed 😅 🤣 i called it 🤣
You can't take a product seriously if they don't have proper documentation. Just on that alone its not worth it. Information is the most important thing about a product, its literally like a contract of what you're getting. Like a menu at a restaurant, its legal binding. The fact they list nothing about materials used, they can use whatever they want anytime they want and its perfectly within their right since nothing was listed/promised.
I will stay with my Hilleberg 4 season,,🇺🇲
For $4300 I could buy an old van and retrofit it as a camper.
I found one at a comparable value. It called 4 days and 3 nights at Sandal's, Jamaica . See you on the beach and grab a beer on the way down.
You’re not setting that contraption up on Everest!!! You’d be a popsicle before you step inside 😂
Hi, Im Martin from the Netherlands, I'm a great fan of your youtube video's.. I spend lots of times in a tent, Carpfishing.. Fishing all seasons, al types of weather..
A good tent is a must.. We use offcause camping gear, like gasstoves etc.. And your topics about food are also always verry welcome. My longest stay in a tent on the water side was 38 days in a row. Had lots of nice weater, but also a coupple of storms and lots of rainy days.. Dhe Dragoon tent, I hope they send you one, so you'll be able to test it. I recently found out how to react on the
video's otherwise I whould have don it mutch sooner. but now I do, so I can ask some questions if I have some..
Again, I love your video's keep up your honisty and your critisisem and Intergrety.. Every CEO of a good company whould want a honest review of their product.
You may not say it, but I will - NO WAY is it worth over $4000. Period. Insane for sure. I don't even need to hear anything else about it. Thanks for the humor and comedy.
Your right if I was going camping with my loved ones in extreme weather conditions than yes if you can afford it why not but it all depends on your budget
It looks amazing but that price tag is beyond insane. Absolutely no way to justify it
Intriguing tent! Insanely priced. I bought a $650 UL tent last year and still question my sanity... this one...! Only the government would spend that much on a tent LOL.
I would love to see an in depth review throughout a multi day camp out in various conditions including desert, torrential rains, mountain top winds and heavy snows. A tent of this caliber should be top notch at all of these levels. I hope to see such a review. Most tent manufacturers are trying to meet market needs for sample set up with comfort, rain resistance in mind. The market for this tent will be very narrow at the price point when the competition is considered.
The floor should be able to Blow Cusion ...I like the cheering me for a fireplace inside the tent
Luke always appreciate your honesty. Don't want to call it a yuppie tent . Super cool if it is what they say. Let challenge them. Put for tent were you mouth is. Give one to Luke evaluate. Then we will know for sure if it's worth it. Thanks
So now all I need is a burro to carry this thing for me on my backpacking trips. 🤣😂
Love your channel, brother. Clear, concise and logical. Keep up the woodratting! Prost, from CT.
You're also the guy that sold me on the Snugpak Scorpion 3 tent. Got it for the family as the 'big' Christmas gift last year, and it's perfomed as expected, and more. Can't recommend it highly enough. My son's first camping trip was with it, and now he wants to go camping every weekend. Wish we could, little buddy, wish we could.
For that price I’ll buy myself a Hilleberg tent and still have money left over for a decent used car 🚙
You would think they would give you as much information as they could at that price. Also, not sure if you mentioned it but, is there any kind of warranty?
The lack of information on this tent has me more then a little concerned. As for this being an eight person tent. If the dimensions given are true then I could see it if everyone slept with their feet to toward the center, like the spokes of a wheel. But with gear that would be very crowded. I hope you get a chance to take this out and do a review.
A friend of mine bought a small travel trailer for less than that. It's clean and everything in it works.
Lol.
MY DREAM TENT!!!
Man for that kind of price it better come with big screen TV, a/c, central heat and Friday night dancing partners ! That price is crazy.
I’m a truck driver from Texas. With current world politics, I’m growing concerned that something might pop off here in the near future. What gear would you recommend I keep in my truck? For when the stuff does go south and my truck no longer runs because the electronics are all fried. It’s going to be a long walk back home for me at that point and I’d like to be prepared for it. I’m also looking at getting some sort of collapsible wagon I can store in the truck as well.
I would love to have this tint,,, I am just getting in to camping and the out doors, and I love it, I can't believe I was this deprived of so much, I want to buy a proper 4 season tint cause of where I live,
