A camping channel for campers. It's a channel for people who want to explore the great outdoors. Maybe you want to purchase a tent and are not sure what to look for. Or maybe you want to join me on my many camping adventures. Or just maybe you're looking for some camping accessories. This channel covers everything from campsite camping to wild camping and everything in-between. It's all here on It's a Camping Thing!
June 2023 Update: Ive recently adopted a new dog after my beloved dog Buster passed away a few months ago. Bella will be featuring in some of my videos as I get her used to camping before we head off on adventures later in the year.

OMG heading to a festival tomorrow and just received the Quechua tarp and was looking for video how best to use with 2 man Quechua. Found your video, didn't know this existed, am picking up on way to festival, thank you so much, this is what I was looking for !!!
Would you recommend buying it?
If you’re going campsite camping where you can transport in your car the. Yes it’s great. Otherwise it’s a little bulky and heavy for a backpack and wild camping
Thanks so much for this review. I'm wondeirng for the second year in a row if i should get it as an extension for my arpenaz 3 B&F tent (which is not in production anymore). Good to know it has a three person option, ill look up the dimenskons of the 3p 2 second tent to see if its possible it'll also fit my tent. Did you already test it in the rain to know if its waterproof?
a good review,a nice chap....what else? greetings from France
I bought it today. I originally wanted the 2 Second Easy also from Decathlon, but it was heavy.
One of the best review videos I have ever seen on KZread. Thank you.
How's the ventilation and condensation in this one?
Great work. Thank you.
It's great for lesson camping
Great video, thanks. Just a question about footprint. Isn't problem during the rain that water actually stays between footprint and tent groundsheet? Because footprint is waterproof as well it can't dry out. Isn't better breathable footprint so moisture can drain out to protect bottom of the tent? Thanks for answer.
£70 now?
Ah k, the fresh and black version is more
@@odds87 this one is £29.99 with the fresh and black two person fresh and black version at £59.99. I just looked in their website
@@ItsaCampingThing thanks, i got completely confused between the different variants, my bad!
@@odds87 easily done. No worries
can you sit in the porch on a small camping chair like the Helinox ones
I’m 5ft 10” tall and could just sit on my Trekologogy yizi go camping chair with maybe an inch to spare if I sat in the middle of the tent where it’s highest
Now it went to 50€ 😢
yeah prices will go up especially in the peak camping season. Thats why I try to add that prices are correct at the time of recording as this video will be watched years down the line when prices will inevitably go up.
I leave the footprint attached and pack the tent in a dry sack. It compacts quite small. Regarding the cap, I leave it attached in 2 places and put the poles under as I’m erecting the tent. This is quite useful when it’s raining as the rain won’t go through the top mesh. I have the T zip version too, and I use the smaller door side to cook and close the other door, which stops the rain coming inside. To me, this is the biggest flaw with this tent. But it’s a cracking tent for the money. Nice video
Really nice video ! Very nice guy !! Extremely funny 😂Thank you 😊🫱🏻🫲🏼
Thanks for demonstration
You're welcome
Great video! Do you (or anyone in the comments) know if this fits the regular 2 seconds (not easy) pop up tents as well? Can’t find any information about this online🙁
No it only fits the 2 Seconds Easy tents in 2 and 3 person versions
Hi Paul! Great video ☺️ have you posted how to put the tent up yet? Thanks!
No not yet. I will. Ive just been mega busy with 21 hour days of late
Hì m8 do you camp in your garden ?
sometimes just for testing out new tents and equipment
If to exclude blackout then can't beat Ferriono Kalahari and if I'm not mistaken then quick clips are also on Coleman tents now. You don't have to push through the poles any more for a really long time except really really cheap tents. Even my 25 eur tent had quick clips.
Great video. Thank you! Do you think this fits also over other smaller Quecha tents like the MH100 f&b?
No it only fits the 2 Seconds Easy 2 person or 3 person. I've tried it on the Mh100 and it didn't fit at all
@@ItsaCampingThingthank you!!
This tent is my goto for motorbike rallies. for drying out i get home take it out the bag and pop it up indoors or in the hallway. They now do an extension its £50 but for solo i just dont need it. for two up i would probably go with redcamp beds with legs. Its a great tent so fast to setup. I dont use the ropes unless its very windy. The 3p is huge i want it for 2up camping but the price is just silly
This may be a weird question but do you think the little porch area would be able to accommodate a bicycle? Would probably remove the front wheel and turn it upside down, etc to make it work but just wondering.
Brilliant and very thorough review, many thanks! Easiest like and subscribe decision for a long time! ;)
Great review. Top bloke
thank you
Love it mate! I like seeing how excited camping makes you, I'm 35 year old bloke and I'm exactly the same, anything to do with camping and I'm like a kid on Christmas eve! I'm buying the exact setup you've got there, the tent and awning next week and cant wait!
Wow very very good review
thank you
Excellent video. Enjoyed watching it. You were thorough in explaining the set up.
Loved your video thanks for the info
Great video! And my word you are a happy man! Will be purchasing this asap 😊
Off to get one. Thanks for the review. ❤
I've recently bought the Air Seconds 4.2. The extra size should be handy, and I really wanted the easy pitch of an airbeam tent as I'll be on my own quite a lot of the time. Previously I've been camping on my bike, so everything had to be as small and as light as possible. I'm wanting to do more camping but now in my small car, so I can be a bit more extravagant in terms of what I pack. Having a tent I can not only sit up in but stand up in will be a new experience! First outing this weekend :)
Is this tent easy to put up for a beginner?
Two poles that cross over in the center on the inner part of the tent. Locating in to a pocket at each of the four corners of the inner section. A fly sheet that is over the top and tied to the poles underneath the fly sheet and all pegged or staked down. It's quite simple to do and shouldn't be a problem for anyone. New to camping or experienced campers alike.
@@ItsaCampingThing Thanks
Just bought the Fresh/Black 3 man, the space brilliant, £69 well impressed, nice review !! For just me.
Nice channel, really hard to find a review on this tent but you did it! We are in south of France where it's hot and and my husband got this one but I'm torn between getting two 3 person tent for a family of four because of the easy life of pitching up separately now and then! Also I don't like how one person will be sleeping in the way of the ventilation on this tent! We already have a gazebo type thing to be eating out of sun etc , what do you think we should get for family of four, separate or big one?? P.s- you can't just camp up anywhere here in France which is disappointing
yeah I'm like a child at Christmas when it comes to camping too. Love new tents and camping equipment that make the whole experience better. I hope you enjoy your new set up
Great review Another possible tent to use I love the space inside and even though I’m 5’7 I love height in a tent Many thanks Jeff
Great video! I have the same tent and when it rains it is less comfortable. I will buy this awning right away. Thanks for the tip!
Your welcome
Thanks for such a great video! do you know if there’s a shop that you could visit and see what these look like up in person as I’ve tried to look on the go outdoor shops and can’t see any of these tents. I’m only asking because I like to see before I buy as in go inside the tent and see what it’s like, etc even though you’re showing us the product still like to look before I buy. Do you know if this would also work for a long week away and not just festivals?
Love it buy the 3 person fresh/black, super easy set up
Quechua is a Decathlon brand so you won't find it at Gooutdoors, Amazon or anywhere else I'm afraid. I would check your nearest store. Maybe phone them in advance and see if they have it on display. My local store only has a couple of Tents on display for much of the year and then in peak season has more on display in the car park. As for a duration with the tent. It depends on how much kit your taking. Food, clothes, belongings etc.. If three people are going then you'll need to store all that in your car and keep going backwards and forwards. Not ideal if it's raining and bringing moisture in to the tent. If it's just you then you'll be fine I would imagine. My trick is to use four tennis balls on the lawn. Look at the dimensions on Decathlons website and mark out what size the inner part of tent will look like. The you'll know with how much you want to take if it will fit or not. No one wants to be cramped in a tent for a few nights where there isn't enough space. Usually if I'm going for four or five nights and I am close to fifty years old. Then I find that a tent I can stand up in is better for longer durations of camping. Otherwise your back tents to notice it first. Ideally I would probably use it for 3 nights maximum but that's just my comfort threshold. Yours maybe different to mine.
Oh my God, thank you for such a great video!! I have been looking at getting a new tent because the one I currently have which I use on scout trips is not very good at going on long trips when I go away for a week because it’s only me I am currently trying to look at a tent that obviously has the blackout system But I didn’t want to get a two person tent because I wanted more room and when you said that this can also work on the three person tent. You just made my day as a three person tent is what I’m looking for.
The awning is a great add on especially if you want a 2 person tent for a night or two. But would feel cramped if staying for a loner period. I think most experienced campers of a certain age.... Ahem! Me. Will tell you that whilst small tents are nice and are of benefit. After a few days your back begins to ache and the extra room would be a benefit. Having the awning as an added extra means that you can go lightweight-ish with the tent. I say lightweight-ish as it's not a particular light weight tent. Certainly not designed for hiking or wild camping. But if you want the extra room then you have the option.
@@ItsaCampingThing Great video, where is the link to buy one. Did not leave any information on how to or where to buy one at. Please send link.
Great presentation! This tent I could easily bring along on my motorcycle. I may buy one. 👀 🐽
1:03 the fact your dog actually listened to the "not yet" as though she was replying "okay let me know when you're done" has made my day. I'll be using this tent at Le Mans this weekend, thanks for the review!
haha yeah she's amazing
Would there be enough room for a couple sharing an air bed?
Get the 3 person one
If two people are going and space isn't such a premium when travelling I would always go for a 3 person version for 2 people. And the 2 person tent for when travelling solo. Otherwise you have no room to store your clothes and food etc. Plus with a two person tent with two people it can be a little too cozy
thanks mate
You're welcome!
Do you think this may fit their other 3 second F&B pop up tent?
it will fit the Quechua 2 seconds easy 3P fresh and black tent. You just extend the straps for it to fit by sliding a toggle.
With 3 person it’s very tight and it pushes the tent down
Is there a ground sheet for that tent or what do u use thanks love the vids
There is no footprint for it. I don't have the sizes at hand of the tent. But I would check Decathlons website and get the sizes from there. Gooutdoors do some footprints to help protect your tent
Hi Just wondering about the width of the tent. I see it says 190cms but is that the same from top to bottom or does it taper down towards the one end like a lot of other tunnel tent? A 3 person tent which actually fits 3 people would be wonderful! I need one which is about 190cms at both ends but not sure if this exists?! Thanks for the video and sorry to hear about your dog.
I do love my minimo, i have the flash also, the burners are completely interchangeable 👍
