Great video but I wish you would have included the Coleman hooligan 2 person tent. It is without a doubt one of the best values in a tent someone can purchase.
Set up as a breeze requiring a minimum of just taking out the four corners, then one rod along the top.
It has a bathtub tarp floor to keep you dry. AND IT IS AN EXCELLENT STARGAZE TENT WITHOUT THE RAIN FLY.
I got caught in a major thunderstorm and stayed completely dry with the bright orange rainfly installed.
@@powerguymark Hey Mark thanks for another great input! I ran out of money to spend on tents, but yes I will definitely try to get the Hooligan next time when I'm updating this video! The full rainfly is definitely a great feature I wanna test out too! 🤩
Love the sanitized review's you do. No ego, unbiased, and very precise. You honestly deserve just as many viewers as the larger camping channels.
Thank you so much Cory!! Your awesome comment means a lot, and I'm really happy that you think so 😊 The channel is growing slowly (I'm happy for any growth!), so maybe one day I'll get more views 😊 I'll do my best to produce more of these unbiased and precise reviews for sure!
100% agree
I literally don't need a tent right now, but I was pretty entertained watching this, I love all the tests you do on these. It's great! Keep it up 😊
@Blue Borealis Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked all the tests and the video too, it really means a lot! Just watching the video definitely helps the channel out, so I appreciate it 😊😊
Happy New Year Liz!!! Wishing you health and happiness in the new year and looking forward to more of your awesome reviews!!
Happy New Year to you too James!!! Really appreciate the well wishes 😊😊 I hope you're doing well too, and that 2023 would be better than 2022 in all aspects! Glad you like the reviews James, I really appreciate your constant support as always 😊😊
Excellent detailed review. I was leaning toward the Coleman 6P Darkroom tent and now that is the one I will purchase. Thank you for sharing your review.
Hi Kevin! Thank you so much for letting me know, and I'm really glad that you liked this review! 😊 And yeah! The Dark room 6P is an awesome tent. Still love it. Let me know how it goes for you if you have the time! 😊
Lol u got me with your sponsor bit! Was happy for u but anyways I know you will continue to put up great reviews and hopefully able to get a sponsorship soon for more of your product reviews! Thank you for your hard work 👍🏼
@yenawesome Hahaha I'm glad you found it funny! And thank you so much for your comment 😊 Hopefully one day I can get a sponsorship for real, we'll see how it goes, fingers crossed!
Thank you for providing very knowledgeable and thorough reviews on these tents! It was the perfect comparison video, and I think I'm gonna pick up the Sundome Dark Room 6P from your recommendations! The Elite seems great, but I kind of like the darkened walls/cooler temps, and don't really go camping that much so it seems to fit my needs! Using your Affiliate Link as well!
Hi David! Thank you so much for your comment and all the kind words, it really means a lot! 😊😊 appreciate it! I’m really glad you liked the comparison! I was starting to think it wasn’t that great because it hasn’t done as well as my other comparison videos 😅 let me know how the Sundome dark room goes for you! I’d love to hear about your experience 😊 aww and thank you so much for using my link!! That means a lot thank you ❤️❤️
Very impressed w your *_intelligent_* review of 14 (FOURTEEENN!) Coleman tents! I've got the Popup 2P, Sundome 4P, Instant 6P (this one's not in your lineup), and Instant Cabin 10P myself -- I hadn't planned on getting that many, but it just happened over the course of a year during COVID lockdown -- before I knew it I was in possession of all 4! Your review comments were spot-on w those 4 tent models! I was amused at how you dramatized the struggles of folding up the Popup! Perfect! *_BEST_* tent review by far; awesome review 2-thumbs up!
Hey Austin!! Thanks so much for your comment and the kind words! 🥰 HAHAHA yeah admittedly I went a little overboard with the Coleman tents 😂 I wanted to do less, but I just had so many over the years, and they're so affordable so I was collecting them all during the lockdown 😂 Same as you basically! 😂 I'm really glad that my comments were the same as yours! Great minds think alike 😉 Oooh did you not have trouble folding the pop up? I really struggled my first time around with the 4P! Took me 15 minutes of struggling with a friend until I gave up and watched some CZcams videos 😆
Well done. I hope your channel explodes over time as you seem to put in alot of effort with good information.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment, and it means a lot! I hope it explodes too one day, fingers crossed! 🥰
This is the best comparison I see , it should pump up the rate to let more people view this. Thanks for a lot of work on all tent.
@yesmanhk Thank you again for another comment! It really means a lot that you take the time and effort to write them 😊 Hahaha yes I hope so! This video actually hasn't been doing as well as I had hoped, but hopefully it does better this year during summer 😊
First let me congratulate you for another excellent tent product review! Then let me say this. For nearly every one of the larger cabin or dome tents, their greatest weaknesses are at the front doors and at the edges of what first looks like impressive rainfly covers. They are all susceptible to water intrusion at these points in heavy downpours. Wind-driven rain can come through the zippers of most exposed doors and can be blown up underneath many of the rainfly designs. When blown up underneath rainfly edges, the rainwater then goes right through the mess roofs and into the interiors of these tents.
I would do the following with most of these tents when facing the potential of usage in less than ideal conditions. For the smaller tents I would deploy a 10x10 tarp overhead in either an A frame or diamond configuration. For the larger tents I would do the same with either a 12x12, 14x14 or 16x16 tarp. The diamond configuration would probably give the greatest overhead rain protection. The advantages of using this strategy are as follows:
1) The tarp will allow the rain to be deflected away from the roof and sidewalls of the tents.
2) The tarp will allow the occupants to keep the windows/vents open as desired.
3) The tarp will strengthen the weather resistance of any sunroom/porch area of the tents.
4) The tarp will increase the tent's ability to deflect wind thus reducing stress on the frames.
5) The tarp can also be used to increase the insulation value of the tent in cold weather.
I concede the point that deploying a tarp or multiple tarps for weather protection will the use of 2-4 tent poles and additional stakes-which will also have to be beefier than those supplied with the tents. I also concede the points that the tarp deployment will require additional guy out lines and increased setup and tear-down times. But when I see that no tent in your testing lasted past an hour or so in a heavy downpour, I was reminded of how many campers I've seen with flooded out tents & ruined weekend experiences after trying to camp using only off-the-shelf big-box tents.
A good tarp or a set of tarps and accessories are like an insurance policy against having one's valuable and delicate sleeping gear and electronicis ruined by a rainy or suddenly stormy night.
@PhilCherry3 Hi Phil! Thank you for another comment, and for sharing the wonderful tip about the tarp! That's definitely a great idea for less than ideal conditions, and I'll try it out one day when I'm camping in Coleman tents! And the pros and cons you listed are definitely on point too 😊 Although I have tested more expensive tents, and they lasted wonderfully even without any tarps. I think Coleman waterproofing just isn't the best, cos it's not like we pay top dollar for them haha. But they're still worth it for the price though! 😊
Amazing job!!! Thank you for your videos!!!
Thank you so much Jason! 🥰 I'm really glad you like the videos!
Excellent info. Thanks!
thank you so much Valerie !🥰
Thank you for your reviews. Can you please make reviews for sleeping bags/pads?
You're most welcome Sammy! And thanks for the suggestion! I definitely have that on my to-do-list, but it takes me forever to produce a video hahaha. It'll be some time in the future 😊 I do have a 2P pad/mattress video, but that's it for now.
Yeah she’s brilliant. I was looking for something to pop up for a bit of fishing in Gotland. I’m getting the 4 man Coleman pop up. I don’t expect it to rain.
Thank you so much Philip! That means a lot 🥰❤️ let me know how you like the 4 man pop up! I’d love to hear about it 😊
Excellent and extensive review. Any chance to see you test some of these on the field some day ?
Hey Stéphane! Thank you so much for your comment, I'm glad you liked the review 😊 I don't know if I'd be field testing these tents, but I definitely plan to do vlogs in some of them 😊
Great video! thanks so much for taking the time and your funds to make it. Hopefully the algorithm god's see the goodwill and send good vibes you way!
Thank you so much Will! It really means a lot to me that you liked the video 🥰 And yeahhh this video didn't do great, but I'll just keep going on testing and publishing and seeing what happens 😅
Excellent review as always!
@covenant11 Thank you so much! I'm really happy that you've been liking my reviews, and I appreciate all your comments on my videos 😊
I've watched you video's a lot, while doing my tent research. My 1st family tent is in the mail right now (Weathermaster 10P). I got it at a great deal of $220 and plan to seam seal, and waterproof it, before taking it out. I really want you to test the Skydome XL 10P with dark room tech & the Skylodge 10P with screen room. If these weren't so expensive, I would have bought one of them.
Hi Tony! Thank you so much for watching my videos, it means a lot and helps the channel out for sure 😊 That's definitely a great deal for sure! Seam sealing and waterproofing it is definitely a great idea. I'd also recommend breaking in the tent because quite a few people have told me that the first time setting it up can be a little tight. I'd love to know your experience with it after your camping trip 😊 And thanks for the suggestions on the Skydome and Skylodge! I'm a little out of funds at the moment as I wanted to test other tents this year other than Coleman, but if I do an update on this video it'll be in there! 😊
Thanks for another informative video .
You're most welcome Romaldo! It really means a lot that you're watching so many of my reviews 🥰
This is really great. I have the Coleman 4-person pop-up and the 6- person Montana, and I'm looking for something with the easy setup of the first one (or close) and the space and easy take-down of the other.
The pop-up tents are SO EASY to deploy and they work really well in fair weather camping, but they can be a pain to put away properly. Really low headroom, too.
Hey Paul! Thanks so much for your comment and the input! I really appreciate it 🥰 Yeah I agree with you! Especially on the low headroom, I really didn't like it that much. Hmm, I do actually have an instant tent video (the Gazelle T4) coming out next week, it easily has more headroom than the Montana 6P, and it's really quick and easy to deploy (not as quick as the pop up though, if you don't mind). Would that work for you?
@@CampingGuidance
It might - I'll definitely check out the video before I buy anything.
Thanks again!
@@paulbrickler You're welcome Paul! I'm hoping to get the video out by this weekend (hopefully). Fingers crossed!
Thanks for your effort! This was such a robust review. Made my purchasing so much more easier! :)
I'm really glad to hear that, Sai! Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the time to let me know, I really appreciate it 😊 What did you end up going with? 😊
@@CampingGuidance I went for "Coleman Skydome 4-Person Tent" It seemed the best for my use case based on your research!
Oh nice! Thanks so much for letting me know! I'd love to hear your experience with it if you have the time 😊
@@CampingGuidance Will do, once I've tested it out myself completely! Cheers!
@@saichivukula3566 Cheers! I'm looking forward, but please take your time! 😊
YOU ARE AMAZING!! YOU DESERVE ALL THE FLOWERS FOR YOUR HARD WORK 🌹💐. BRAVO
HAHAHA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE FLOWERS ROMULUS!!! You're always so kind and I really appreciate it!! Glad you liked this video too 🥰
So what’s next? I’m still looking for a tent 👀 oh, I got the REI sleeping pad you suggested 😉
@@romulus7495 Ooooh how did you find the REI sleeping pad? I'm super interested to know what you think! 😊 Pity I'm still on the waitlist for their affiliate program, it seems quite a few people have picked it up since it's being discontinued hahaha. I'm gonna spend November testing a few tents, and then December I'm taking a break from CZcams for a bit to go traveling! So I won't be posting anything from now till early next year, sadly :( Next year though, I'll be starting off with Instant Tents (the one you're interested in hahaha), then Budget Tents under $100 and then Waterproof Tents. I think that's how it'll go for now 😊
Starting off the year with a BANG! You know I love me some instant tents lol. When you told me the REI pad was on sale a few weeks ago, I got it. I didn’t know it was getting discontinued. It finally arrives Tuesday ☺️ so i’ll let you know how I like it - I’ll be going to my parents and I normally sleep on an air mattress in their den, so instead i’ll use the new pad 👍🏾. I’m a SEL counselor so I’m a huge proponent for self care. You’ve invested so much of yourself towards this great work. You deserve a break. Enjoy it! When you’re rested and ready to get back to your work, I’ll be right here waiting! 🌹
@@romulus7495 Ohhhh! I think they're holding the biggest sale on the REI Dreamer now only because it's being discontinued hahaha. So still a good deal! And oooh this REI paid will definitely be better than any pure air mattress out there, so hopefully you get good sleep! Please let me know how it goes 😊 And aww, thank you so much for your constant support!! I really appreciate it loads! 🥰 And it's so cool you're an SEL counselor! You're doing so much good for the world 😊 I hope you treat yourself to a well deserved break too during the upcoming holiday period!
Hi Liz, Your content is one of the best to get information on all kinds of tent!!! I have a question though, is the skydome 4p very similar to the Skydome XL Family Camping Tent 8p? have you tested that? and if you happen to know if there is a e-port?
Hey there again Yuke! Thank you so much for binge watching all my videos, it really helps the channel out! 🥰 Hmm I would say that most of the tests that I did on the Skydome 4P would be applicable to the 8P that you're looking at! It looks like it might suffer from the same issues too. And yes there's an e-port on the 8p! If you look at the marketing picture, there's a small e-port at the bottom right of the tent (the flap over the port is light green). I hope this helps!
Love your channel!! What are your thoughts on gazelle tents?!!!
Thanks for another question Guillermo! Hmm I haven't really had the chance to test my Gazelle tent out thoroughly, but first impressions is that they're awesome in the instant tent department and high quality 😊
Hey there. love your videos. detailed explanation and great editing. Question: which would you choose between Coleman 8-Person Instant Tent ($164.99) and Coleman weathermaster 10 person tent ($151.69)? Thank you.
Hey Haidi and Al! Thank you so much I'm really glad that you're liking the videos 🥰 Hmm, that really depends on whether you like instant tent set ups. For me, I'm quite familiar with setting tents up and I can get them done quite easily, so I'd go with the WeatherMaster. It's much more spacious, and it's going for an insane deal right now.
Awee the camera shy comment 🥰 thanks for the vids so helpful!
Aww I'm glad you caught that! lots of people miss it and ask why I'm wearing the mask 😅 I had to remove it after a while haha. I'm really glad you like the vids too, thank you! 🥰
Great effort and good vid. Kudos!!
Thank you so much Hector! Glad you liked the video! 😊
Will you be reveieing the Coleman Meadowood any time soon? Im especially considering the 4 and 6 person blackout versions? I'm in the UK. Thanks
Hi Jon! Thanks so much for the suggestion but I don't think I would be reviewing that tent :( I get access only to goods from Amazon US, and I think the Meadowood is available only in the UK :(
Excellent!
Thank you so much! 🥰 It means a lot that you liked this!
Amazing video!!!! The rain test is awesome and providing more information for us to considering that. I prepare to buy my first tent to have camping fun but still not sure which type (skydome, carlsbed, full fly and instant) of tent will be better for our family, teo adult and one huge dog. Could you please give some advices? Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much Polly! Glad that you liked this review and also all the rain tests! 😊 Sure! I'll try my best to help you out. For your family (2 adults and 1 dog), I'd recommend at least a 4 to 6P. If it were up to me, I'd go with the 6P for more space, plus I could only stand in the 6P, and not in the smaller tents (like 4P and 2P). As for which type of tent, you can't go wrong with the traditional Sundome, which is super inexpensive and very much value for money. If you expect more rain, then the Skydome would be better! Not the one in this video, but this one here: amzn.to/3XvhAOG
I hope this helps! That's the general advice I can give, but if you can give me more info on what you prioritize (rain protection, set up, etc.), I can help you out further! 😊
@@CampingGuidance Thanks for your reply!!! I appreciate it!!! In my situation, I think we will not camping in raining day. Because it will make things mess when my dog is here🥲 You’re right!!! The space maybe around 2.4m*2.4m, 4P will be enough for us!!! Because we will spend more time for outdoor. Also, we will considering the windy day and the tent should be stable enough. This is my first tent, I want to use less money on it and try the feeling of camping is enjoyable for me or not first so which tent will be more cheapest and valuable for us??? Thank you so much!!! Good day!
@@pollypopo You're most welcome Polly! I'm just a comment away anytime, and I'm happy to help 😊 I appreciate your replies too! Not everyone replies when I do hahaha 😂 If you're not planning to camp in rain, I think any of these Coleman tents would do great! Including those with the screen rooms. Since this is your first tent, I'd recommend the Sundome 6/4P. It's super simple to set up, take down, and is super inexpensive too. If you're up to the challenge of setting up a screen room tent (which is basically just the Sundome + an extra screen room), you can consider the Carlsbad or Evanston. I think the screen room will be great for your doggo! Also, what kind of winds are you expecting? 😊
@@CampingGuidance the wind from the beach 🤔 how about Coleman skydome 4/6 person?
@@pollypopo Ah, any chance you know what mph the winds are going at? I don't think Coleman tents are made for super strong wind, though moderate winds (20-30mph) shouldn't be too much of a problem. I would HIGHLY recommend guying out the tent though, that helps keep the tent more sturdy. I think most of the smaller Coleman tents are about the same, whether they're the Sundome or Skydome.
We (my couple, our little (4kg) dog and I, are looking for a nice cheap comfy tent. We are between de sundome dark for 4 or for 6 ppl... Of course we want space but also i don't want to carry unnecessary weight... I see the sundome dark for 4pll is 5kg and the one for 6ppl is 7.8kg... So do you think those almost 3 extra kilos worth the extra space? Andy advice? 😊
Thank you so much!
Hey Roberto! Hmm it's hard for me to say cos that depends on your personal preference! But for me personally, I like the 6P cos I get to stand up in it haha. I don't get to stand up in the 4P!
by the way seeing you already have several air pad/mattress maybe can do some reviews on those. :)
Oh I actually do have reviews of most of them! Are there any you're interested in? I can direct you to the correct reviews if you want 😊
You're amazing. Thank you so much
@MyCommentsRMaturelol You're most welcome! I'm really glad that you liked this review 😊 Thank you so much for watching it and for taking the time to leave me a comment, really appreciate it 😊
@@CampingGuidance I cant thank you enough! I had only been able to find these corporate lists, and one had said the sky dome was a strict upgrade from the sun dome but now I'm totally going to get the dark room sun dome, as my partner has light sensitivity. I didnt even know it was an option! So informative and detailed and costly. YOURE THE GOAT
@@MyCommentsRMaturelol Aww thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate your kind comments, they mean a lot, and make me really happy 😊 And yeahhh tell me about it, I really hate all those lists where people list stuff they don't even have or haven't even used :( I guess the Skydome is supposed to be an upgrade from the Sundome, but I still find the Sundome better value for money (less expensive, almost the same performance), although if you like the Skydome better, they come with the dark room feature as well! Hope this helps! 😊
very very well detailed but i bought a skydome 4p despite you brushing it off T_T it's just I don't need a 6 person tent and less is more lol
Oooh! Thanks for the answer Joey! I was wondering if you had gone for the Sundome or Skydome. Hahaha no worries!!! The Skydome really isn't a bad tent, I just thought the Sundome was less expensive and just as well performing. So why not go for the less expensive one? XD hahaha. At least that was what I thought when I made my recommendations! So please don't worry. I think the Skydome is super cool too! Let me know how it goes for you? I'd love to hear about it if you have the time 😊
Thanks for your Reviews, have you had a chance to test the tents made by Hewolf or Toogh?
Hi AJ! Thank you so much for your comment, and it was my pleasure 😊 I'm glad you like the reviews! And I've come across those brands on Amazon but I never bought them because I try to stick to more mainstream and well-known brands, like these Coleman tents here. Sorry about that though :(
@@CampingGuidance It's ok, no harm done
@@ajmartinez1906 Sorry about that AJ! I hope you're able to find other reviews on them sooner or later 😊
@@CampingGuidance I truly look forward to seeing your reviews on other camping gear.
@@ajmartinez1906 Thank you so much AJ! That'll probably be towards the end of the year and towards next year. I'm gonna start reviewing camping lights once I'm done with the tents that I currently have 😊 Thank you so much for your support and for watching the channel!
Love all your information! Thank you! Please slow down just a little. It was hard to follow about halfway through.
Hi Dana! Thank you so much for your comment and the feedback! Sorry the pacing wasn't so good, I'll do my best to work on it and slow down for my future videos 😊 I'm really glad that you liked the info though! Feel free to ask me any questions you might have in case it was difficult to catch from the video 😊

Amazon currently has the navy colored sundome 2 person tent for $23. Can’t beat it!
@bigesrac Ooooh that's such a fantastic price!! Thanks for letting me know 😊 I've NEVER seen that pricing before, and now it seems to be out of stock hahaha. Maybe too many people bought it up!
@@CampingGuidance i still see it in stock. Maybe just have to type “navy sundome tent”
@@bigesrac Oh man it's so weird that I still don't see it! Maybe it's zip code dependent? Thanks for letting me know anyway! It's such a steal though, I'd totally get it if I didn't already have one hahahaha 😊
@@CampingGuidance it depends on where you live. if i look at the US version of Amazon, sometimes it tells me an item is out of stock (i am in Australia) but if i change the zip code to an American one, instead of my Australian address, the item shows in stock. I don't know why they tell you the item is out of stock, rather than telling you that the item doesn't ship to your location.
@@Murtagh653 Thank you so much for the input and the comment! 😊 Haha tell me about it! I had the same issues when ordering off Amazon US, so usually I just order from my local Amazon (I'm living in Asia). If I can't find it in my local Amazon, then I'd have no choice but to ship it from Amazon US. But somehow I still couldn't find the $23 Sundome even when I put in my US forwarding address (in Portland). I think it's just because I may be tech-dumb hahahaha
Ok yes another comment from me after watching with my wife. She pointed out that a chart at the end of each test would help her understand and track how the tents were doing. Kind of like project farm does with his tests. ( Edit, yes you kind of do this but they go by so fast she couldn't tead them or pause on them well. ) That way you can see what is a deal breaker for you. For me it is air flow and water proof as Ohio.
A person who is going to carry the tent a long distance might have low weight as the most important thing.
Hey Mike! Thank you so much for another comment, I really appreciate you watching my videos and giving me feedback! 😊 Oh dear I thought I slowed down the charts already, I didn't realize they were still too quick on this video :( Sorry about that! How long should I leave them up on the screen for? Btw how were the charts for you in the 6P video? Were they too fast as well?
@@CampingGuidance yes the charts were too fast in both. CZcams doesn't let you fine tune the scroll bar so it is hard to go back. My wife has some eye trouble so it is even harder for her.
For the timing of charts I would look at the you tube channel " project farm " for an example of easy to read charts. He tends to talk about the items a bit with the chart up so you can see what he is talking about.
I'm looking to get back into camping and motorcycle camping so your videos are very helpful. Just watching some videos by the company you would think Coleman tents don't leak. I don't know your climate but Ohio can dump more rain in 10min than your hose in 20. Some of it at a sharp angle. I looks like I will have to add a separate tarp over the door side of a Coleman 6 person sundome to stay dry after treating the tent and seams.
@@mikehenthorn1778 Thanks for the heads up on the Project Farm channel Mike! I'll definitely check it out and try to leave the charts up for longer too. Just worried about my limited editing skills though haha XD But I'm so sorry about making them too fast for you and your wife, I'll work on it!
But thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm really glad that you like my videos, it means a lot 🥰 And yeah! Coleman even has like a wind and rain test video, but I think their rain test definitely wasn't heavy enough. It lasted only a few minutes if I'm not wrong. I usually try not to camp out in rain, but sometimes it can be unpredictable especially with the monsoons near my area. And yeah! Treating the seams + adding the tarp is definitely a fantastic idea. You should be able to get through a decent rainstorm with that 😊
3rd video i have seen today. you get a sub as you produce great videos. thank you.
as for the camera shy mask i can see having a bit of fun with them. decorate them and trick them out .
Wow thank you so much Mike! It really means a lot that you watched so many of my videos, subbed, and even left comments on them! It really helps the channel out, so I really appreciate it 😊 Haha I've actually decided to move away from the mask in my more recent videos! But tricking them out is such an awesome idea 😊
I have1 request can do a video for the coleman hampton 9p 🎪 ?
Hi Phillip thanks for the request! I don't take requests at the moment as I'm currently only reviewing what I have on hand (also I'm short on funds hahaha). But I'll keep it in mind for the future if I do an update on this video 😊
Thanks for the response and the awesome videos. I have the coleman evanston 6p as well and that thing needs to be seam sealed badly.
@@philliploftisjr.9000 Thanks so much for the response too Phillip! And yeah Coleman tents aren't really seam sealed very well haha
Hey could I send you my nemo 8 person tent for a review
Hi Isaiah! Oh wow thank you so much for the offer, that really means a lot, and I've been eyeing the Nemo for quite a while now! 😊 It's so expensive though. Unfortunately I now live in Asia, at the other end of the world, so shipping is always an issue for me :( Do you have any experience shipping a tent internationally?
You are too fast to explain...pl..
@vijeshwar. Hi Vijesh! I'm so sorry about that :( I'm working on the pacing! Does it help to reduce the speed to 0.75? Alternatively, here's a blog post with all the info that you may need, that you can read at your own time, hope this helps!: campingguidance.com/best-coleman-tents/
Why are you wearing a mask.
Hi Jerry, thanks for the question. I think I left a note on multiple places on this video that I used to wear a mask because I'm camera-shy, maybe I should have left them up for longer :) Going forward I decided to not use the mask anymore, so I hope this clarifies! 😊
Why are you wearing masks outdoors in your own yard?
Hi James! Thanks for the question. I actually started this channel wanting to be completely anonymous and not showing my face in videos, but that became unavoidable when I started reviewing tents. I'm terribly camera-shy, but in my most recent videos, I've gotten rid of the masks 😊 I believe I leave a note at the beginning of all of my old videos on this issue haha. Hope this clarifies! 😊
I finally saw that in another video. Thank you so much for the reply though!
@@jamesh1641 No worries James! Thank YOU so much for your reply as well, and I'm really happy that I could clear things up with you 😊 Thank you so much for watching my videos too! I really appreciate it 😊
All her videos are excellent..
@Herosade Aww thank you so much! It's so kind of you to say that 😊 I really appreciate all your comments on my channel, it definitely helps a lot!
Really excellent review. Don’t be camera shy Liz. You’re cute as a bug:)
Awwwww I appreciate that Kim! I'll slowly try to get over the camera-shyness hahaha. It's taking some time though, but your encouragement is definitely helping for sure!! 🥰
Thanks!
Thank you soooo much as always Kim!! You're so generous, your Super Thanks really means a lot, and really offsets some of the costs for this video for sure! (One of my more expensive videos so far!) Really appreciate it always!! 🥰
