We’re definitely gonna ‘Carry On Camping’ for sure… : ) Filmed the morning after it’s maiden use, (we’re new to camping) we were so impressed by this tent – we’ve fallen in love with it – it’s definitely worth the extra coins. A superior camping experience
My review of an Ozark 4 Man tent from Walmart. Tent cost me .99. Dimensions are 9×7. For more the tent to get, even if its only for one guy. The xtra weight is minimal but the packing size is a few inches longer. It did rain alittle and I got some water inside from the window. I will be applying a can of silicone spray and seam seal. For an occasional camping trip which will be less than 4 times a years for now, I will make this tent work for me. Check out WAprhyse channel, “A road less traveled”. He has alot of good pointers for camping.
How to pack shelter halves. Inventory: 12 Stakes, 6 poles, 2 lines, 2 shelter halves and a mat. If you are with a buddy then you can split the inventory and have an extra mat.
Well, I finally had the time to get this tent finished. The total weight ended up being 19.3 ounces… not quite the sub 1 pounder that I was hoping for, but not too bad either way. Although I already had a backpacking tent that I was content with, I wanted something more suited for my solo ultra lightweight backpacking trips. I think this new piece of gear will fit the bill perfectly. I chose a simple and basic A-frame design (reminiscent of those old Boy Scout days hehe) partly for ease of construction and also to allow for the independent use of the rainfly as it’s own shelter. For those quick overnighters in good weather, the little 5×7 cover functions perfectly as a light backpacking tarp (and weighs about 4 ounces). For bug protection without the threat of rain, the mesh tent can be used alone and weighs in at 14.2 ounces. Not a bad little system if I say so. This entire setup was made from scratch with the majority of the materials coming from a tent a was given that was beyond repair. I did however research the cost of purchasing all of the materials new and was surprised to find how inexpensive it was. For this reason, as well as how simple this design was to make, I decided to throw in an instructional video combined with a “how to” article on my blog for anyone wanting to build a similar tent. It really wasn’t too hard or time consuming at all (and if I can do it, then anyone can!). As soon as I get these finished I will include the links below. You’ll have to …

This is a video Review of the Catoma Stealth 1. I have 4 of these tents available on Ebay if anyone needs one. Search “Combat Tent Catoma Stealth 1″ on ebay, seller name is Backpackingreviewer. These tents are very versatile and unique. Easton poles and stakes, woodland camo and very high quality construction. Awesome little tent.
This is my Wenzel Starlite 3- season 1 man backpaking tent. It is made of 1.9 oz uerethane coated 600mm polyester. Which makes it very light weight. It features a zippered entrance with no-see-um mesh screen and a small no-see–um mesh screen at the foot for added ventalation. I have used this tent several times while backpacking and have been pleased so far. This is more of a begginer or low-budget backpackers tent. I found it on Amazon last year for about .00.
See Description For Specs. This is the absolute ultimate Backpacking, Motorcycle, Car Camping Tent. 5.4 pounds without the extras. Made for the military by Eureka! The ORC version is just not Eureka! But take you chances. The Dual Vestibule version is not as easy to get in and out of and there is plenty of room for a guy and a girl and all of your equipment so its just not needed and the extra weight is not needed. This is a much better option than the 2 person tent because it is half the weight with more useable vestibule space with plenty of room to change clothes and store all your gear. Go with this over the 2 man in my opinion. If you have to sleep 2 adult males you could in a pinch. I have seen some videos up grading the backcountry 1 tents with this fly… WHY??? The backcountry 1 is 150 to 180 and the 50 for the upgrade. With only one door. Just find one of these. 5.4 pounds when you take out the things you don’t need! 8ft x 3.5ft vestibule will hold 2 ALICE or MOLLE Packs and shoes just under 3ft High Huge Entry & Exit Door High Quality Eureka Ground Sheet Easton Aluminum Stakes & Poles (highest Quality Ive Seen) Woodland Camo Block Out Finish Superior Wind & Rain Proofing Repair Kit Need I Say More!!!!
My first night out with my new Eureka TCOP…..The temps dropped into the upper 20s overnight, and I had no condensation or moisture buildup in this Tent, or under the rainfly.

PT.1 Of a full review. See Description For Specs. I will be selling this exact tent already seam gripped in the crucial areas. Tent has been set up 2 times once to rain test (camera was not working to do a video on it but will try again next rainy day) stayed 100% dry in windy and heavy rain conditions. Set up in the grass at home completely unharmed. I will be also selling one never set up brand new (I will open and inspect to ensure all contents are there). Cost will be 9. These were purchased brand new and I am making 0 profit just trying to help a few people find one. Message me for info. Thank You! This is the absolute ultimate Backpacking, Motorcycle, Car Camping Tent. 5.4 pounds without the extras. Made for the military by Eureka! The ORC version is just not Eureka! But you can take your chances(i prefer to buy tents from companies known for making tents). The Dual Vestibule version is not as easy to get in and out of and there is plenty of room for a guy and a girl and all of your equipment so 2 vestibules are just not needed and the extra weight is not needed in my opinion. This is a much better option than the 2 person tent because it is half the weight with more useable vestibule space with plenty of room to change clothes and store all your gear (see my diamond brand combat tent review). Go with this over the 2 man in my opinion. If you have to sleep 2 adult males you could in a pinch. I have seen some videos up grading the backcountry 1 tents with this fly …
