    I have to say that you're channel and TheOutdoorGearReview are my go to, especially for tent reviews. Thank you once again for your time spent sharing

  5. @970zfinest

    the truth is unless you have a dyneema tent no tent is truly water proof if you can afford a dyeemna like most of us get a 2000 to 5000m waterproof rating then spray it with kiwi camp dry.

  6. @hazreenaaidaillias2709

    I want to start camping but don’t know the basic things required. I see that for a tent, u need to have a groundsheet, and a big rainfly? But here u seem to not have it

  7. @brendawolf7445

    Thank you so much for your reviews!! They were so helpful. I originally was going to buy a tent just based on how easy it was to set up but then thought about the biggest disappointment I have experienced in the past with tent camping…rain and water in my tent 😮!! I searched for waterproof and found your channel. Love it! I bought the North Face Wawona 6. Arrives in a few days. Already viewed your detailed video on this one. Excellent!!

    Hey, I live in southern louisiana (hot, humid, rainy weather) and I’m new to camping lol. I’m trying to decide between the Teton Mountain Ultra 2 person tent and the Naturehike Mongar 2 person tent. The weight of the Teton (7lbs) is my only concern because I do intend on backpacking soon as well. From what I can tell, other than weight, they are pretty much the same tent. I’ve heard wonderful things about both companies, but I have seen some negative thoughts on Naturehike’s product durability. Any advice?

  15. @maldita2012

    Hello. I'm from Asia, too. And I've seen in some countries that they use such as naturehike and vidalido brand of tents during their camping, did you or do u have any plan of reviewing those brands mentioned especially the vidalido poon saan tent?

    Btw, thank you for d excellent and thorough review! 😊

  17. @xavierx93

    Great review. Im thinking of getting the wawona 4. Do you think it fairs the same as the wawona 6 in terms of waterproofness?

  19. @williamyoung514

    I just stumbled onto my new favorite gear reviewer. Finally someone who actually stress tests outdoor products. You just earned a new subscriber!

  20. @frankbrowning4160

    great information. I've been using Coleman for some time. They aren't the best but I meticulously seal the seams inside and out put a tarp on inside that comes up just above the seams and I've weathered many rains without getting wet. Not into spending several hundred dollars on a tent. Live in the south, camp April through November.

    WOW, you do an amazing job. Loved this video. I travel full time on My Royal Enfield Motorcycle. I have been using Wenzel Jack Pine 4 for 3 years. I'm on my 4th tent now. Because it's my home I don't care about price. I like the size 7×8 for me my gear and saddlebags, 8×8 would be nicer. Love the big back window, white fly to stay cool, mesh doesn't start until about 18 inches up for more privacy when not using the fly and draft protection when it chills down at night, 4 side pockets & overhead shelf, like the mud mat. I don't like the fiberglass poles, and the worst is the one for the door hoop, that always breaks right away. Their warranty is great, just don't like that I have to use it. Once I got a whole new tent because they were out of poles. The worst part is the floor is not tube type and as I learned from you it's an inverted seam that is not sealed and the leakage that I've had these two days of rain is why I found your excellent video. My previous Jack Pine 4s leaked and I tried liquid seam sealer but this time think I will try seam tape. Do you know of a tape you recommend? I really do like this tent including the small pack size for strapping to my motorcycle, I just wish they put a touch more quality in the product. If I get tired of bailing water I may try the Teton Ultra 4 as you have shown us. Thank you!

  22. @persona5305

    6:00 you can fix all those and turn a cheap tent into an expensive quality waterproof tent by using $12 or less seam sealant. choose the sealant based on your tent's material.

  24. @maverick5059

    Thank you. You do and EXCELLENT review, and you cover the most important features that campers are interested in. I would love to know how the Wawona compares to the Big Agnes big house 6. They seem comparable. I know folks that have the Big Agnes, but I especially love the vestibule on the Wawona 6. Am I making a mistake passing on the Big Agnes? Thanks
