Back in the mid 60s my uncle Bill would take my family and his family on weekend camping trips. All of his equipment was military surplus, so we slept on canvas cots and inside large 4-5 man canvas wall tents. I remember, vividly, two instructions that he emphasized to us about canvas tent use. One was to never stretch the fabric more than necessary during setup because the seams' stitch holes would be stretched out to form small leaking holes. The other rule was to never touch the inside of the fabric, especially if it was raining, because a dripping leak would start at that point. These were things he learned as a Marine in the South Pacific in WWII and he made sure that we followed the rules on every camping trip. Don't know if they were true or not because when Uncle Bill said "Don"t Do" you just didn't. It was a different and better time then.

Good job to the cameraman keeping you honest. It's clear even small content creators let the fortune and fame get to their head. He's a great addition to the channel though and should get a raise.

Love the upgraded camera. VHS Woo Hoo!!!!

I really like the camera man bits, nice touch

You should do tutorials on how to waterproof tents with silicon spray and such. Season is just next the corner and people would want to know. Be sure to title it basic like “how to waterproof your tent” so you get the views. Awesome upload as usual Mr.Spackmann

I think I remember seeing that camcorder at Radioshack in like '96?

You and your cameraman really crack me up bro! 😂 You two have such an awesome dynamic... it's almost like you're brothers or something 😉 haha! Would absolutely love to see a cameo from your "director"... hint hint 😉 Seriously... another wicked awesome video dude! 👍

I grew up using a canvas tent for family camping trips. If it was raining you didn't want to breath on the sides let alone touch them. Personally, I think that's great for a canvas tent.

Have to say love the camera guy 😂. Lived in a 6m vevor for almost 2 years. Never had a leak !!

Happy Sunday! I have a feeling it’s going to be worth the money. Tell your camera man to Chata. Chata fudge up. Words changed to protect the innocent ears of your viewers. Another classic right off the bat. Cheers Chris.

Funny. Especially with slow twin and state of the art camera. Keepem coming.👍🇨🇦

DUDE!!!! What's with the dirty floor? Presentation is everything! 😂

I love the camera man’s humor. ; )

The Spackmera man keeps you honest. Better to record over an old Disney flick than vintage porn. With Pinochonio you are dealing with fantasy. You are also doing so with vintage porn but at least you see the bush. Makes more sense when discussing tents. Thanks for the video.

I like what you did there..

When you panned up, I was expecting to see the cameraman siting there pointing out a leak for you... I agree with others that testing a waterproof spray would be a great idea, and maybe even a comparison of different brands?... It makes it so much easier filming having a cameraman though for sure 👍👍 ...Not to take anything away from you, but I really like your cameraman 😆🤣😅😉 Another good one.

nice lil tent! minor leak. seam seal n send it!

Another great video! So I have a question maybe you could answer or even show people. BUT how do you seam....seem.....not sure how its spelled but how do you seam tape it?

that cameraman you are using is a chatty cathy

I’m not sure what your paying the cameraman but I’m sure it’s to much. Baaahaaaha. One commenter had a great idea. Show some ways to waterproof a tent. Have a good one. Can’t wait for the next video.

I bought the 5m version and it didnt leak when i was spraying it with a water hose. I hope it doesnt start leaking because im planning on living in it for at least the rest of this year

I just started watching but yes it will Leak

Cool

Not Pinocchio!!! 😂😂😂 300 for a canvas hot tent isn't bad, especially if that's all you need to do. But yea, holes through the roof will always leak eventually, remember that one from my first tent back in the 80s/90s, old A frame with holes in the roof for both poles

man, how do you transfer from that RCA tape to digital so seamlessly...??

Forgot to put a towel down. How do you get rid of excess moisture from a canvas cot? LOL!!

Will this tent sleep two in the winter with a stove inside, Or should I consider the size up?

When is enough hot tent videos? I maxed out about 3 months ago. Great channel, but less hot tent.

May have to look for another cameraman. That one is kind of mouthy . Probably overpaid as well 😁 A little tlc and it would probably make a solid tent . Have a great evening

Only camp when it's not raining, that way it doesn't leak. 🤔😂

Don't they all leak?

Its gonna leak.
