Watching this old video brother. Damn good review of a great tent!

So this is actually just an updated design based on the North face Nebula tent. The Nebula was 2 man 4 season tent. This USMC tent also has the better 'bathtub' floor where no ground seams are near the ground.

Great and informative video, thanks fir sharing Found a used U.S.M.C. two man at the local Army surplus store for $39.95 before tax. Set the tent for a overnighter and found to be in very good condition. One in a million find.

"as you were" I love it! can't shake the military in us, can we? great tent review, brother. Thank you.

Just got back from the Berkshires. fishing and camping. Third time using this tent and it performed perfectly. I was the only person out of five with something other than a walmart special and it made the difference.

This will be perfect for me to use out in my woods while squirrel hunting, I'm thinking of getting one of these and a USMC rucksack

A synthetic fabric ground cloth prevents punctures and dirtying of the bottom of the tent. Use of it is mandatory when you are the one who spent money buying it.

ive spent so many miserable nights in this tent -_- deserts, forests, rain, sun the tent is actually quite good!! many of ours had broken zippers from heavy use the worst part is setting it up because you have to run the poles through the sleeves but it feels VERY durable and tough compared to my Hubba Hubba

man....thats a cool tent, loads of room for loads of kit - spot on for the bov but no worries humping it in the pack. the camo looks the same as the mss - cool. with 2 layers it should keep the heat in better too. i hope the family is getting on with things after your recent loss bro - always good to see you mate. take care ken darren

The outside Velcro fasteners is for the rain fly only setup, using the poles.....

Outstanding review and information! Thank you, Sam Adler

Excellent and thorough review! You covered all aspects of interest including details that others might have omitted. Two thumbs up!

Another great item used by the Corps. I picked on of these up for use in higher elevation around northern Arizona and Grand Canyon area hunting & camping. Plenty of room for 2 men with gear and comfortable in rain and medium wind, it doesn't flex down on you in gusts. After a cold deer hunt at the canyon with light snow I modified mine as an experiment. I cut a 3 1/4 hole towards the rear top and had extra canvas sewn around in support and an outer flap sewn outside to cover it using Velcro. That is for the 3 section telescoping stove pipe, I use a small wood stove made from a .50 cal ammo can with a 20 inch heat pad under it. You have to be careful and not crank up the fire but you can have a decent fire which really takes the chill out in snow or cold nights and heats a coffee cup of water. I used the WALL canvas outfitter tent stove set up as an example. With 2 men it wont work because its a little to close quarters but alone it does provide warmth and comfort. I had this same set up in a older canvas tent but the weight only allowed use in horse packing trips. This new set up can be back packed in easily.

I found one in a second hand shop for 7$ pretty cheap but its original and never used.

Great Video Ken Great to see you out & about on camera again. Hope yourself & your lovely family are keeping well? God Bless

Excellent review.

Hey man. Thanks for the video. Asked a question about backpacking, then watched further and got my answer. Thanks dude. I acquired one of these that I used in Iraq when I EAS’d and getting ready to split the weight with my lady for a 2 nighter in Kentucky. Thanks again for the very detailed video. Also, this tent works great for my kids when car camping. I love this thing. It’s been good to me. I have the Eureka version.

Thanks man, I just bought a new, never used Diamond brand on ebay for $275 plus $20 shipping. Can't wait to use it.

I got this tent after watching ur review. this tent is awesome! little bit on the heavy side but worth the effort humping it on my back. if ur carrying it with ur buddy its not that bad I think(mine came with 2 seperate bags, tent and flies). its very sturdy and pretty roomy enough to sit up straight with no problem and store bunch of gears inside the tent. havent tested out yet in heavy downfall but I think its gonna hold up good. mesh netting on both sides are one of the things I love about this tent, too for ventilation.

This looks to be a good all round tent

Great tent mate .... just the right size and ideal for throwing in the kit bag Take care bud

These are the best of the best because of expierence, nice choice!

awsome tent, luv the camo rainfly with vestibule

Good review. Either one would be a good selection. Thanks for sharing. atb

Excellent review and comparison video. Thank you!

Good info, thanks. I've been starting to look around for a potential replacement for my 1 man tent, and I really like the looks of this one.

a little too heavy for a backpack tent on the Appalachian Trail but a definite for a vehicle kit as you suggested. Thanks again!

That is one great tent, next time I'm stateside I'll try anf source one, still quite a light tent for the size. Hope your well Ken, all the best, Stefan

The tent stakes go in the unused hole not in the webbing. The webbing is to grab hold while stretching the tent to get the poles in.

As an emergency tent, it would be ideal. For regular camping trips, probably not. At about 6:46 you can see the seams already beginning to split.

Great review

I would love one . Thanks for ya time an sharing sir . ATB

Excellent review man. Definitely considering buying one.

The flysheet doesn't fully cover the inner tent. That seems to me, to be a major design flaw. Is this a problem? How does it stand up to really bad weather? Leaks? Thanks for making this review

a very nice review, well done :) I'm using the one man tent the same woodland camo, USMC issued. I like this one but the height is short so I can barely sit up inside the tent and dont have enough room to store my ILBE and MOLLE2 packs so I put them outside of my tent and cover them with poncho. I think this 2 person tent will be much more comfortable :) Im gonna get this one in future.

Excellent review. Nice looking tent. Would definitely work well as two person tent if one of you is on the shorter size. Would work well for me when I go backpacking with my daughter. As for the Velcro on the outside of the fly they are designed/intended to be used along with the second set of holes on the corners to use a second set of poles. This increase strength and stability making it suitable for winter use. Thanks for the review.

I find the interior is a bit clammy feeling during cold nights.. Had nothing to do with condensation it was the polyurethane coating. I for some odd reason prefer the one man Eureka model.

nice tent...

Its a pity it doesn't have a double ended zip. I got a civi tent that has that. Its really good to just leave a little ventilation open above well off you as you sleep. I generally use a tarp, tent in winter. Prefer to keep the major heat in a tent and if ventilation is down low on a door, defeats the purpose. But still, if I could get this in straight brow or MTP ( I'm in Australia) I'd buy it

good tent bro , Ugie ,,from australia

It's going to be really hot

A durable tent, but hot and stuffy. Easy to pitch in the darkness!

Greetings. Can you tel me the size of each tent pole unit, please.

I would like to buy one like this

My Eureka has instructions as well.

What size is the bag it comes in? No one seems to show how the tent is packaged in its original bag.

3 season or 4 season. I ve the catoma bed net system works great for medium size person for three seasons. Lokkimh for sonething lil bigger and can handle handle 20-30 degree ohio weather

Thanks for sharing, awesome video and tutorial. What does a tent like that go for?

Morning buddy 😁 from England. We have are first deep frost this year. Would you be able to do an update on this tent in winter time. ATVB Andy

Where can i buy a new one of these, because when i go to the manufacturers sites they don't sell them, they just have the info on them?

hi I would like some advice on usmc tents. My tent smells from being stored for a long time. I think the smell is probably due to the waterproof coating on the tent. What can I do to get rid of the smell without harming the tent? Please advise.

Thanks

Way too heavy for single backpacking, marginally acceptable for two person backpacking if your buddy packs equal weight.

I like these tents but hard to see them being a summer tent not much ventilation???

What about ventilation ? Would the use of a stove be unhealthy? North country here.

Make a rod system for this that would allow you to use cement canvas over it for combat! ; )

Awesome roomy tent. Nice review too. One question- why would a military tent have velcro on it? Wouldn't that make lots of noise? Or does the velcro not make too much noise? Thanks for the review, i'm looking in to buying this tent for stealth camping so that's why i'm asking.

Mine came with different stakes , they are angles . Take up less room

OUTSTANDING video DevilNuts. Great to see Marines living out their Frances Ford Coppola dreams on KZfaq. YUT! keep them coming sir (take no offense. Don't know if you worked for a living, RAH!). +kjumper1

Got and luvit. Great revue.

Has anyone done a video on how to pack the tent in it's bag?

Kjumper, do you have ANY idea where I can get some replacement poles for the tent? I looked on eastons website, called the manufacturer, to no avail. I'll buy those off you if need be.

11:04 The rainfly does not fit to the tent? It is too small?

Interrogative. Since these are being sold used and surplus, in your opinion, did you find the need to seal the seams? +kjumper1

Excellent video. But I have to say, They need to correct that rain fly so that it completely covers the tent. That few inches at the bottom that's not covered is unacceptable.

How is the condensation?

Where i can found this tent in sale?

excelente carpa amigo bravo muy buenos materiales ,,

Do they issue these to soldiers or just Marines?

Thanks, I just bought it New for 250.00

would you say that this tent is good for winter tenting with snow and cold weather?

We’re can I buy one ??

Where did you buy from?

Ken, so you know a good place to get this tent? I live in Western WA. thanks.

Well done. *smiles*

perfect tent that I'm looking for. What the winter rating on it?

Just got three of them for free. All new.

us tents r great, Germany know their stuff, polish luvvur " bad spelling" is brilliant, Even the old British are OK, !!!, a British new tents called " CINCH" POP-UPS DO WHAT THEY CLAIM, CAN'T knock them,!!! even though a love camping ,!!!! the tents r all impressive!!!.

How heavy is it good for backpacking?

you sound a ton like kenny powers!!

Where can one buy a new one of these?

I think the complete gear is too heavy for one person. Great, if you're car camping, but not for backpacking.

The only thing I don't like about this set up... is the stuff sack. It's harder than hell to restuff it.

Where can I buy this tent that is new.

hi good morning sir . I'm in England were can get from . ATB Andy

There are much better tent stakes. Made of angled aluminum, are lighter and stronger.

Home sweet home

kjumper1 - Does the fly include blackout material?

where can I get one...

wish you showed it before you unpacked it...

Just got one on eBay 45$ plus shipping.

Cut your weight big time leave the tent at home. Just use the rain fly. Lots more room.

OK at 2X playback speed. Almost

I didn't see any vents ,I

ventilation is almost non existant in this tent, it's unbearable. i couldn't breathe after a while, was being asphyxiated 💀
