I live in Massachusetts and have been getting all this rain after you recently. My son and I love storms and watch the radar and get excited, Then just as they approach, they split because of the hills in our area. All those big flooding rains have passed us by. Growing up my family had a 12 x 12' canvas tent with big "picture" windows in the front. There were panels halfway inside the tent to make two rooms. HEAVY to set up when we camped. Left it set up outside in the back yard all summer for cooler sleeping than inside the house for the six kids.

Hey Luke, I completely understand how stressful jobs can be, and it's great that you find relaxation in watching gear reviews. As someone who can't escape into the woods often, I rely on virtual experiences too. By the way, I recently came across a new project called the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike, which offers a unique blend of indoor fitness and outdoor exploration. It even has a feature where you can recharge the bike indoors! It's perfect for those times when we can't physically get out there. Just thought I'd share this exciting discovery with you! Keep enjoying the outdoors virtually until we can go out there again! 😄

Most tents held condensation that was almost equal to a shower. This tent did shed a good bit of rain...and we would have been 'dry enough' inside. Perhaps shelter is a 'relative thing.'

I used a big canvas ridge tent for a few years in the west of England. If you understand them they are excellent . they must be proofed at the beginning of every season. you must pay attention to the tent guys when it rains. You should not touch the canvas of a tent from the inside when it is raining. It really helps to have a proper fly sheet, which must be bigger than the tent roof. The one made for the tent is best. Small canvas tents that work are rarer than hen’s teeth and very expensive( used to be made by Blacks of Greenock) I would say that a good canvas tent and fly sheet are ideal for car camping. But and it’s a serious but ! the tent must be stored dry or it will break down, only giving a short life, looked after they’ll last as you need.

I really liked that tent and wished you would really test it in the rain. What a shame that so little of it was exposed and it leaked in the first video. We live in Southwest Louisiana and most of the heavy rains come with wind, so we would expect to need sidewalls for tarp setups. I've been trying to figure out what we could put up to shield our carport from hurricanes, but it would need to be very sturdy. Same for the patio, which is covered. Perhaps it's better to leave both open so the wind could pass through without causing any harm to the structure. I love rainstorms and love your videos where you're in the rain and snow, etc. That window on your tent is eye-shaped like the logo.

Luke I enjoy watching your episodes, and I have watched many and you seem to be a tarp junkie. What puzzles me is why you almost never install your tent under your tarp. In my 30+ years of camping I ALWAYS install a tarp OVER my tent, for a multitude of good reasons. I understand that you are testing tents for leakage. I get it. But buy a good tarp and put it over a leaky tent and get a good night's sleep. My camping priority is a MUST...a really comfortable sleeping mattress and a warm sleeping bag. Once I buy a tent I m stuck with it. Buy a good tarp and put it over your tent. Cheers.

Even a good expensive tent can start to leak after being stretched, folded, stuffed into a bag, and being blasted by hot sun after a while. Put a tarp OVER your tent is always a good idea. I could list a half dozen reasons why a tarp OVER your tent is really smart. Cheers again.
