i know a place near you that i plan on going to again that i would recommend you at least check out - it's Mt Baldy in the Colville Ntl forest. Just an old fire tower on top of a mountain. Really fun! Wouldn't camp near it though considering there's a bear den nearby. Not super crazy in terms of trail difficulty, i took a stock 2nd gen explorer up there. but it's cool!

Just went this weekend with the two toddlers! Blast

Going to Overland Adventure Summit in Kentucky in June. You gonna be there? Oh yeah I just received my OpenRoad Peak Roof LT RTT.

Haven't actually camped, but spent the day hanging in hammocks in some of my favorite mountains in Montana

Heck yeah! Just got done upgrading my Roofnest Falcon with all the amenities… and now I watched this and I’m thinking about getting one of these instead. 😆🤦‍♂️ Thanks Nate… 🤨 Haha, for real though, this thing looks amazing. Those side door rainflies got me sold. As always, awesome material. Thanks for your review! 🙏

Yeah, I wasn't expecting that. They asked if I had any good photos of the tent and I don't have a problem sharing considering they have sent me two tents to test... but didn't think it would make the main photo.

Seriously! Let's see if they stay at $1600.

Thanks for watching!

Any issues with the galaxy 1.0 ?

I’ve had no issue. 💪🏻

Wow! That was fast!

Side awnings definitely roll up and don’t need to be used at all.

@@OutdoorAuto is it really 178lbs tho? That is a touch on the heavy side but I think my iKamper skycamp 2.0 is more than it says, I just haven't had time to weigh it... because it's a pita to remove! LoL

I have been hearing this... sounds like the market needs some more competition.

You must be in California then where you can do self pickup… that is awesome, saves $300 bucks.

You have to go up above it into the BLM land. There are some really good views up there.

people usuall just zip the diesel heater tub into a door... the awnings would help in this case if it was raining... with a lot of diesel heaters you need to get an extension hose to make that work.

Have you watched this video I made - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdVnq8dy0r-1oWg.html

In my somewhat limited experience with both rtt and ground camping, the main advantages of the rtt for me are cleanliness and ease of use. Here in Scandinavia it rains a lot, and quite often muddy. Packing a tent with a muddy base not a huge problem, but I really dislike it. Apart from wiping down your ladder, mud isn't really a thing you deal with rtt camping. Setting up an rtt, even a softshell kukenam like I have, is easier and quicker than most ground tents. Add to this the fact that you can leave pillows, sleeping bags, blankets etc in the rtt when packed up, the rtt is just a more hassle-free experience. This as you mention comes at the drawback of poorly placed weight. Softshells are generally lighter, mine weighs 60 kg or 130 lbs, and I don't really feel the weight unless taking a tight turn at high speed, and the rollover point is still far beyond what I have the balls to do haha. Another drawback is the price, you could get a whole, great ground camp setup for the price of just an rtt. Rtt's are definitely not for everyone, but even with the drawbacks I still prefer rtt camping.

Either way they are both awesome tents 🤷‍♂️

I know they monitor the comments… I’m pretty sure they are just catching up… that’s the problem with doing a video in a good product is it usually sells out super fast and the companies get slammed… I’ll drop an email…

Thank you. My order number is 1571. 👍

Thank you. They emailed me this morning. Probably they are busy and I also didn’t realize the support email was not US based so we are on way different time zones. I will be heading out to pick it up today. Thank you for the review and the email. I was also waiting for the 1.0 to come back in stock which I feel like is still a solid option. But with the updates and coupon code I was sold on 2.0. Thanks again! @outdoorauto

Did anybody confirm that the 2.0 is the Stellar model on the website?

I am 6'4" and it works for me... but probably that is about the max.

@@OutdoorAuto this is sleeping straight with a 2nd person and your feet are comfortable at the end?

They are still making the 1.0... its a great tent, evidenced by the fact it almost always sells out.

My wife and I thought it was fine and use it as is… but a lot of people add a thin mattress layer on top…

Dang, that Canada Tax is rough

Well, it looks like the 2.0 sold out in 24 hours… these guys are going to have a hard time keeping tents in the shelf… they are both just excellent deals.

Maybe you need a 2nd hood from a salvage yard... 😂

Put on a vinyl wrap on the hood then cover it in stickers. Cheap, easy enough to do yourself on large relatively flat panel and then your paint will remain intact underneath if you ever change your mind or sell it.

This was originally Dirt Lifestyle Nate’s “Land Cruiser 80” Lexus build and he did a full series on it. One of the things he did was ask all of his viewers to send him stickers, and that’s what went on the hood. Pretty cool honestly

Yes it does.

I have an 2015LX. What do I need for a roof rack for one of these tents. I’m brand new to this and needing some advice.

Interesting, I’ll have to take a closer look. I thought they were the locking wedge style washers for anti vibration… kinda look similar from the side.

Its a friends... they got hit and bought it back from insurance... engine is perfect and we cant decide if we should fix it, engine swap it over to the XJ or sell it...

Dang… I’m 6’4” … so maybe not a good idea for me.

​@OutdoorAuto so I'm 6'4" also and am a side sleeper. I'm assuming I won't have issues with leg room. Is that true?

yeah, who would ever want to advertise a product they believe in? gross.

I was going to say the same thing. The lock washers need to be up against the bolt to prevent it from rotating out. They are currently mounted against nothing that rotates, that’s not how it works.

Yeah I probably said it wrong... they look like an antivibration washer... I am not sure the technical term... similar to a grounding washer but with a different purpose.

I have a friend that does that.. I kinda feel claustrophobic but him and his wife do it so it is easier to get out at night for bathroom breaks

I don’t have a problem with ground tents… this just happens to be a review of a Roof Top Tent for people looking to buy those… I have done videos on ground tents as well.

Uh oh…

I’ve never done warehouse pickup… being in Idaho I have always had to get them shipped.

Yeah, a 4 1/2 hour round trip just to find out it's the wrong one.

@@houstoncradeur6346 I'm curios, did they correct the order? How was customer service on this issue?

LOL... maybe you will have to get a better security lock.

This was a pretty cool camping trip in the LC - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtd2lpyYxrGcf30.htmlsi=HHgDDd23iHXodWPA

Yeah, Clamshells tents aren't perfect for every application.

Where I live in Idaho I can’t drive longer then 5 min without seeing a Roof Top Tent… I am pretty sure those aren’t all rich people… my guess is Credit cards or long hours… that’s kinda the point of this video… save some money and go camping more.

I'm nothing like rich but I do like simplicity in camping, hence we purchased a South African RTT, the Bundutec Bundutop RTT. In Australian dollars, that's $5400.00 we paid. Guessing in American dollars, we spent $4000.00 plus, so yes people do pay $4K plus on RTT. Bundutop, it's simplicity at its best, 4 overcentre catches, push a button & tents erects in 18 seconds including tensioning 360° awning in process. All bedding contained within aluminium shell, including pillows. You get what you pay for, I'll stick to the Bundutop unit. For that additional comfort, I installed a diesel heater, it's never cold in our Bundutop but we don't deliberately camp in the cold, but a cold front can occur anytime, we're ready for it.

22:50 it looks like it was given to him

Don't complain too loud... they will just raise the price... it is the best deal in all of Roof Top Tents... of course it is going to sell out... I said it would IN the video...
