Great tent. I have this in green. Survived storm Betty in Ireland last year. No leaks. Tent stayed rigid. Certainly not just for fairweather woodland camping. Despite the vents it can suffer from condensation. Fire starting...personally wouldn't bother with soaking champagne corks. I've tried the fluffy stuff from my tumble drier mixed with some vaseline. A good fire starter. Personally, lots of ways to start a fire easier than this one, but nice to see the backwoods bungalow getting an outing and good review.. Really great tent.
Your 1st mistake was clearing all the leaf fall from your sleeping area. This fallen vegetation is valuable insulation against the cold ground sucking away you body heat. Remove sticks & twigs that might pierce your floor & sleep system certainly, but if anything, the leaf fall is your friend & you want as much of it as you can get. Any leaf fall that you remove from your fire area, put that under your sleeping area as well. & for goodness sake, use a footprint under your tent floor to protect it from getting holes that will let water in & make your sleep system wet & cold.
@@Dansmithsoloventure It's a pretty well known cold weather survival strategy to put as much vegetation under your sleep area as you can, even over you if possible. People have survived extreme cold by burrowing into piles of vegetation for the night. Great depression vagrants & displaced persons escaping the German advance during WW2 would burrow into haystacks, both to survive the cold & avoid detection. A lot of ex-military survival instructors teach this strategy, so I am surprised that with your military training you don't know this.
@@kenwebster5053 Ok let’s break this down. 1-For that particular scenario I didn’t need vegetation under my tent, the conditions were very dry and there was a lot of sticks and debris in the way, hence the clearing. 2- The video was a review on the one Tigris tent not how to best insulate your self during camping. 3- It wasn’t a cold extreme weather environment so no need to use vegetation under the tent but I am well aware of the benefits of this method. Hope this helps clear things up. Thanks Ken.
@@Dansmithsoloventure ok, thankyou for explaining reasonably now, I reacted to a comment about cold, though it doesn't look like a particularly cold environment in the, video. Nevertheless, I took that comment as context & thought your action to be out of that context, which also seemed odd in a product review. I found that a bit confusing. Sorry if I got the wrong idea, would you like me to delete my comments?
Wow I love that tent ! ❤

Best luck in the Yukon.
That cork fire starter is actually quiet impressive! And not even expesive to make either.
Yes it’s so effective and as you say really easy to make
Excellent video, I miss the cool outdoors like this. Here in Thailand, it is never cool and most of my area is Rice paddles and cobras.😅
Very humid I guess ?
petrol + cork firelighter could be very useful now that hex tabs are illegal in the uk
👍👍👍👍👍🖤🖤
Love the review. But what I really want to know, is what Fleece and Pants you are wearing.
Flalraven pants & Jack pike fleece 👍😀
Would this tent be ok for a newbie camper? Really like this video and looking forward to the Yukon!
Absolutely Kathy, very simple to use and practical too.
