LMAO!! 😂

Cute chihuahua picture

If done right, you could actually be quite cool in that.

Agree. Actually just got their weather pack, which consists of the fly and ground sheet. Will be doing an overview of it towards the end of October. Thanks for watching!

If you don’t die from heat exhaustion first. 😂

Yeah I would suggest the same if it gets wet. It’s very similar insulation to the Shiftpod. Thanks for watching!

All tents require the same maintenance.

It has worked well in our Southern California heat. The airflow is fantastic but I would go for the silver reflective color for better heat reflection. Thanks for watching!

Tent has been tested to over 60mph when staked down well. The open desert winds are no joke.

I have personally had it at 50mph winds and it was fine. Better than any other type of tent I’ve tried.

Not sure who the singer is. I use Epidemic Sound for the music on the videos. I’ll see if I can find the name of the song for you

That’s the basis for the design. Then they added different window configurations for better ventilation for camping. Same idea though

No. Our did not have any perceivable scent to it. It’s made of material. The only plastics are the hubs and bars for support that are built in.

We shall try. Being in SoCal we don’t get rain very often, but when we get some storms I’ll try and get out there.

Version 2

No unfortunately they don’t have that yet, but hopefully for version 3 they will add it. Thanks for watching

It definitely gets hot when you have the windows closed. But as long as there is a breeze it stay comfortable. Definitely not my summer go to though

Sorry but I have very sensitive eyes and can’t be outside without them.

Essentially except the window and floor design is better and it doesn’t use Shiftpods’ reflective coating. I’m not a fan of people being able to see my camp from 10 miles away so I prefer the black n

@disconnectforadventure I hear you. One of my friends would so dig the darker colors. Circling back to the floor design, how do you feel it makes it better? Is it a deeper tub floor design? Is the floor tougher? I understand lots of shiftpod lovers may have some hate, but not me. I am a shiftpod fan, but I am also a fan of many tent designs. I like geometric designs, big, bright, colorful, you name it. I also have a purple colored hiking tent from naturehike (it may not be durable, but I love the purple color, so I am still a fan hahah). I'm also looking at acacia because it's purple, with the shade structures attached. I'm intrigued by this tent because it looks like a shiftpod, but in a different color, and another one of my friends also feels similar about not being seen (which, in these times, I understand what you mean as times are becoming...interesting). Share away. I look forward to seeing more videos. I especially like the big windows on this one. One of my wishes is to have one like this, purple outside, maybe aqua inside, and big windows like the gazelle one, and a square shaped door. ^_^

@@florindagonzalez5700 Sorry, just saw your comment. YT only alerts me for the initial comment, not followup ones. I personally like the floor design better for its ease of cleanup. The zipper isn't in the seam between the walls and floor, rather closer to the middle. Makes unzipping it a breeze to be able to sweep out dirt and such. No bathtub floor design. I could see water coming in through the crevices in the floor if you had a good amount of water underneath. I always use a ground sheet and avoid areas that would be prone to having a stream go through my tent in a storm though. So far, so good. I will be doing a review on their weather pack this month...should be published by the end of October...fingers crossed. Thanks for the reply and thank for watching!

No sorry. They didn’t offer any to give out

It’s been keeping us cooler in the summer than our other normal tents. They also have silver and green

Top of my wish list for a future version

@@disconnectforadventure yeah crazy all that work and thought gone into the tent and they didnt add that for a log burner

That’s a good tent. At first we had purchased that one but took it back for the Overlandish.

@@disconnectforadventure overlandish is that good huh?

@@pingpongballz5998I like the thicker build quality of the insulated walls. I like camping in the winter and this works better with a diesel heater to keep warm. It is also much sturdier than a Gazelle

We have another tent with a stove jack, but for non stove situations this one works well

@disconnectforadventure oh this tent has many advantages and a Mr Buddy heater would be way more than enough. I like how the bottom of the tent flares out. I bought a RBM cuboid with their stove and it's worth the price but I kinda think that those insulated wall on this tent is such a bonus and darkening would be great for sleep. I hate the idea of getting yet another kinda pricey tent lol but this tent would be on my list for sure. I bought a portable AC unit and I can get things super cold. The first time i used my RBM tent and stove it got up to 105 degrees lol. I'm not sure I'm really camping at this point : )

These things are just ice fishing hubs with sewn in floors for 3 times the price.

@@oldgrunt5569 camping versus camping I guess is for the individual to decide? I can hop in an RV or grab a tent. First came the RV and next the tent. The tent for me is more for winter camping as it's hard to have a 4 season RV with all the freezing issues and not as many state parks open once it gets cold. I got a tent to help make myself do something in winter lol. I have just enough comfort items but I would never bake anything lol. I love a wood stove yet I bought a mister buddy and never use it. I can fit my tent and needed gear in my jeep so that is a plus. I can set up fast and my over costs are far far less expensive than any type of RV or tow camper. When not in use, I don't have to figure out where to park an RV or Camper. In the end I don't want to suffer for any reason so near glamping is just helping me go more.

@oldgrunt5569 I understand for sure. I respect people who have those survival skills. I watch the TV series Alone to watch people go one on one with nature with 10 items. I like the bushcraft stuff too. There is some planning with my glamping lol, I cut, pack, and bring wood. I have to prepare my glamping items lol. I had to plan my purchases to glamp properly : ). Thanks for the convo.

The basic design is derived from ice huts. They have openly stated this. The change comes with window and vent designs. While yes it is definitely cheaper to just buy a regular ice hut, we do enjoy this model and find the windows to be a big plus. Thanks for watching

Definitely some similarities, except the fabric is different and the basecamp has a better window layout. Much more airflow and a better floor design

How is the floor design better?

its more like anyone who's ever made a hub tent took the base design from old fishing huts. Our innovation comes form the design of the material and windows and packdown size. At the end of the day the rest of the hub tents are all longer than 6' packed down and we are sitting pretty at 4'11" with thicker insulation and more ventilation.

@@florindagonzalez5700I like that the floor unzips away from the walls allowing for easier cleanup of the tent. I have always found floors that zip at the seam between the wall and the floor to be a pain to zip up and to use practically to clean out debris and such.

Yeah I could definitely see a claim, even though a lot of it is quite different.

Shiftpod doesn’t have a patent on the hub tents but I don’t see this doing so well. It’s black and would definitely become an oven in the sun.

@@DanielBardi correct the bus tent design is from the 80's. What we did is design our own material and made a specific geometry to get the most space and height while still being able to pack down to under 5'. as far as color goes wether its black white or reflective its all the same when it comes to things like fabrics, in metals its different but in materials that don't retain heat or cold for very long its marginal at best. Also our materials don't scratch - which makes reflective surfaces actually retain heat instead of reflect. The ONLY way to combat the heat is ventilation and we have 40% more than any brand.

@@overlandish cool.. glad to people innovating.. I still think it would be a sauna without proper ventilation and reflective properties.

@@DanielBardi not sure where you’re located but I’d love to show you how well it works.

well lucky for you we have a smaller version called the basecamp SOLO releasing in november. it hasn't debuted yet but make sure to check the site in a few weeks!

@@overlandish no thank..that tent is a piece of garbage..breaks within a month.. zipper sucks..

@@jordanbey870 what tent broke? We have only had one zipper warranty claim and we got him a replacement.

@@overlandish It weak..the design is amazing but the quality it's very weak..even the bag that came with breaks very easily...and the zipper is garbage doesn't last..

@@jordanbey870did you purchase a v2 and have an Issue with it?

Amen

I needed to hear this today my brother. Amen!

Actually stays fairly cool and keeps it nice and dark for anting to sleep in. It cooler than my backpacking tent, which is green. Ive compared them side by side to see how the heat compared. Thanks for watching
