I’m all about cheaper stuff 👍

I picked up a Decathalon Quechua tent for $20 before Christmas and gave it a 4 day rain test while I stayed all comfy and dry in my car tent. Checked it several times and all dry-even after heavy showers with some blustery wind. Cheap doesn’t always mean total crap. Sure, it won’t last for years, but that’s ok. It’s for my grandkids to get started and I know it ain’t gonna leak.

Cheers for trying this and giving such a detailed review as always buddy. Also, you're not an idiot, and I appreciate you showing your minor mistake. Too many Tubers try to portray themselves as super human. I hugely respect your honesty. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Haha, free channel subscriptions, love it!

As one who has, in my dim and distant motorbike rallying days, owned many tents I like the style of this one. Not that I'm in a position to buy a tent anymore....now old and disabled (but still have FOUR tents I haven't used for a few years). As for Temu....I bought a long kaftan style dress. Blooming thing is huge. All I need to go with it are a couple of poles and some guy lines and I'm sorted. It's not stealth mind as it's bright red! 😆

Ive been watching your content for a while. Again a great video. I'm just in the process of speccing up kit to begin wild camping, this kind of video is perfect for me as I dont want to spend a fortune to find its not for me after all. Ill wait for the field test but it looks ok for starting out. Thanks.

I like your dry sense of humour & really enjoy your videos.

Looking forward to the camp video! Looks good and it’s even cheaper now!

Reminds me of spending 4 weeks in Yorkshire with my tent held up by a biro in lieu of a missing peg! It worked too :) 3000mm hydrostatic head is _really_ good for a cheap tent. Thanks for the detailed review!

Great little for summer camping be interesting to see how it goes in wet weather. And definitely great for someone starting out on a budget. If I didn’t buy a second hand besport for £15 I’d buy this to be honest.

I was wondering the same thing with this. Can you tell me if it was the weather seal as well because if it is sealed wow what a bargain

As you say, it’s not bad for the money. I’m impressed. I’ve never done any wild camping. This tent would certainly be good to give it a go. I would be quite happy to invest in making some of the improvements you suggested. Looking forward to your review of it in the wild!

Great video. Looking for a tent like this and have been very impressed with things that I’ve already bought from Temu. Will definitely be considering this for backpacking and bikepacking (seems small enough to go across my handlebars). I actually prefer pitching the inner tent first so for those warm nights when you don”t need a fly (there’s not many I know!), you don’t have to use one. Certainly cheaper than some of the alternatives. 👍🏻

Brilliant video 😂

Love your work sir! 😁👍 Love my Naturehike cycling tent too. Stealthy green, lightweight, packs small. I modded mine with a Tyvek ground sheet, better pegs and loop points on the inner and outer to get more internal space. Better than the popular Cloud up series in my opinion.

As always, great video. I recently bought a zastrugi tent from planet x, bargain at £40! It's also an inner pitch, but as I'd only use it in drier/warmer months, don't see it as an issue 👍

Great overview. Looks good for a starter.

Enjoyed your video very much.

Loved the internal but verbally expressed rant at the end.😂

Looks like a decent tent, well designed and well made . Like the 2 openings and the adjustable corner snaps

I have to say I would buy that if I was wild camping on my own .thanks for the info on that

I'm on a temu honeymoon, bought a few outdoors items, all good and a cheap as chips drone (not too shabby), I'm well pleased with them. This tent looks good but it needs an overnight in the rain test before I'd consider it.

Great festival tent🙂...

I've had the same small cheap tent for years. Moisture soaks through the bottom so I added a plastic sheet underneath. The poles sink into soft ground so I added flat feet to the bottom of them. In heavy prolonged rain the tent will leak, so I put a tarpaulin over the top, also making a nice porch...

I had a tent nearly identical to this. Quite frankly it was a rather good tent with a few things that needed a slight modification (nothing major). It was something like $85 but only had one door. It was bright orange. While this seems like a decent tent, I'd certainly opt for a Naturehike Spider/Cloud Trek/Cloud Up for the money.

Always like these kind of videos. As a tall person (198cm) im always interested in knowing how much sowce you have so knowing the length of the revieuwer is handy to know. A tent i really want to buy is the cardova hrand canyon 2 (green ans camo version) . Its a diamond shape (no vestibule) what really is handy for tall people. I had bought a secondhand diamons shaped tent, but it was not eaterproof anymore unfortunately. But the space ia great! Oh and subscribed to your channels, really like your down to earth style.

That's the Salewa Micro (if it only had the one door). My first tent which I bought for cycle touring over 2 decades ago, it was a brilliant tent, with only one flaw, to close and open the fly you had to put one hand on wet grass to support yourself.

I don't think buckles are great long term as they can lose their grip, but having adjustments like this is a big must on any tent. Such a simple thing to add yet cost doesn't usually mean you get it...

great review - would be great to see a rain test one day . even on the video the materials looked good and no loose threads seemed evident. On an assumption of being waterproof it looks like a great tent to get started with as you say. Best wishes from the Carpathian mountains.

Be very helpful for old school campers such as myself to have the dimensions in feet and inches as this measurement is still used and still valid !

Apart from things like this possibly leaking etc, its the fact its inner pitch first which is always a massive no no for me as I'm out in all weathers. Perfect for a summer wild camp/backpacking trip though.

In my country, Desertfox is the most popular tent brand amongst campers. The in-store price for this tent is $30. Such a steal for its quality and reliability, especially in withstanding the Southeast Asian monsoon rain.

I think the tent is missing the Hilleberg type toggles to hold the door open, they could be added easily. Though, I do think they're a pretty poor choice, elastic and toggle is the only way to go. One day I think I will just make my own tent.

Having watched your earlier Temu haul video I’m blaming you entirely for my new currency obsession. So far I’ve bought a folding camping grill to set on a fire to cook on, folding bellows to get the fire going and a car boot organiser for all my stuff. I am on the lookout for a one person tent for wild camping. This one looks good to me and bonus points of being so lightweight. Thanks.

No I have never had a problem with inner pitch first with my Wild Country Trisar tent in over 30 years. I think some folk make such a big deal over such details and certainly did not affect my choice of tent.

A good coating of Fabsil will help it to be waterproof

Like all if these things, final judgement would be after some testing in some testing conditions, but lets be honest, i bet it holds up as good as tents 10 times its price. I think its a perfect tent for someone maybe looking to get into wild camping but dont want to spend a fortune. The specs of 3000 hh for that price, plus two doors and free standing is an absolute bargain, providing it holds up in the rain. Pegs/guy lines are easily replaced for cheap. Hopefully youll get out in it soon in some challenging conditions and see how it goes. Cheers

Exactly 👍

I had an idea when you said it was underweight you are going to be missing something like a tent Peg. Now you know why it's underweight. I believe the measurements they are using is from the outside not the inside. Remember it's taller on the outside because of the two poles and the spacing. It looks like a pretty good little tent for being a cheapo. The first thing I would do is get some clear Flex Seal and coat that rainfly to make it waterproof. Because if you ever get in the rain in that thing the way it is oh, you're not going to like the outcome. But if you waterproof that rainfly correctly it should be a pretty workable little tent. I got one very similar to it from Walmart for about 20. It's not called a desert fox. But when you know the secrets of how to make them waterproof your biggest consideration after that is ventilation and you can leave the rainfly off if you're not expecting bad weather. And that's always a big win Also for the things holding the vents open, you can wrap duct tape around them a few times and it will stiffen it up. Grab the tape around it sideways and go from one end to the other back and forth make a couple of passes.

It’s an old Mammut one I found on Amazon

I have seen this tent on Allie Express, at a similar price. The question about the tent, is, is it waterproof ? I will look forward to seeing a test.

How does it perform in the rain? Looks like the rain will fall inside the doors when open, even with the porch open & supported with trekking poles or sticks. But who knows until tested. Many design features are similar to my NatureHike P-series (Professional) 3p tent, that I inadvertently got for free. There was some COVID delay, and AliExpress had their 45 day delivery guarantee, so I got a refund & purchased the Taiji 2 instead. 2 weeks later the tent showed up. Had it out for the first time, a few days ago, tho no rain. Inner isn't completely mesh, but that would lend to it's UPF 50+ claim, and how I was using it, as a Beach Sun shelter & protection from mosquitos at dusk 🌄

Canny tent for the money that Ben, i totally get the strangers looking when filming lol i just shout im doing a youtube vid and wave or thumbs up like a madman 😅 if you look for several hours through the tents ( as you do once in the Temu vortex) youll come across the naturehike cloud peak 2 for £119 or with the T zip for £149 quite a big saving, although they are starting to come down on Amazon no the 130 reviews a day have stopped 😅 keep them coming mate, enjoying these temu vids 👍👍👌

Of course 🤓

There are far too many precious videos about fancy tents, obsessing about waterproofness, zips, weight, denier and all kinds of nonsense. For that reason I like this channel which concentrates on what is available at a reasonable price. 90% of all British camping is done in summer fair weather and a simple dome tent with fiberglass poles will do the trick as a shelter. Better still buy a 2 person single skin cheapie, spend an hour sealing the seams and spraying the fabric a couple of times. If you are really going for it then replace the fiberglass with aluminium poles for £20 and save more weight. I have a massive dome shelter (KingCamp 2 p) ( 180x210x130 ) It stays dry and with alu poles weighs under 2 kg. Its obviously self standing and so very handy when the ground is hard or you want to change position. Keep it simple unless you are camping in winter on Snowdonia

It doesn't seem that bad for a cheapy, the real test will be rain. And as you say if its just to get started in wild camping or a quick overnight its OK. I don't get why people get stressed about inner pitch first either... its literally minutes to clip it up and dump the fly over the top... I love my MSR Elixir 1... strong as ox 🐂 because of the way it pitches. 👍

I really don't mind a cheap tent on the understanding that I know it's a cheap tent and keep my expectations under control. One thing I always do with cheap tents is to treat with a water proof agent and seal the seams. Especially if I know that I will be using it in fair weather only. It really bugs me when people knowingly purchase a cheap tent but then proceed to bitch about it's short comings. To which I respond with... It's a cheap tent! What did you realistically expect? More of interest to me is that they rarely have sufficient ventilation to avoid condensation.
