Excellent Bivi will get one great video

Bivvies have moved on massively since then. Love my Nash T1 pro. Im 6ft 2 and 68 so love the not bending. 😂

Nice work once you get hang of it it’s ok I leave my extension all zipped and pack away whole and rebuild as whole unit recon I can get my xf2 up in under 10 minutes these days 😜

Beautiful tent 👍🏼💪🏼👍🏼

Just got can’t wait to use tomorrow

Mate your there to fish don't want to spend 2hours putting up bivvy just say it's to complicated

Nice lake, wich swim are you? Thanks

Re posted?

Fancy posting it during the darts mark. Ill watch it in full later mate

Great stuff 👏👏👏

Great idea and pics of kit , downside is it won’t go in most cars , you need to have had your weatabix to carry it lol and if your only 5ft 6 I found it a fight to put it up , tho a simple idea I wanted to like it but but it up once and sold it

I think it is awesome Mark - Only wish I could afford one😂

I’m also having a pole fiasco 😂

Well done Mark I thought you did a great job explaining this bivvy perfect for France mate👍

Hi Mark, Thanks for the honest review of the Rigemonkey bivvy. Like you I take my wife to France and we are looking for a shelter to comfortably accommodate both of us. I’m watching your video today 09/07/23 and was just curious to know have you used it yet in France with your wife and if so are there any bits you would recommend to purchase on top of the main two parts. Did it come up to expectations. Great video very well presented and gave use both a good insight into product. Many Thanks Ian Stone

Tempests are easier to put up but the quality difference is night and day. It's the weight difference what's the bigger issue. I thought somebody had left a body in the bag.

Just got round to watching this. I’m in the market for a new bivvy and not sure whether to stick with what I know and get the Nash Titan T2 MkII or the one man version of this. I’m lucky that I only really fish France so weight is not a massive concern for me either but you can still move, but the majority of the lakes on the continent that I fish, the van is right behind the swim so not a biggy. The one thing I love about the Titan is the fold out design, inner capsule is in place, as is the groundsheet so it’s very straightforward on your own - being that I struggle with a disability in my back this looks hard unless you’re just using it as standard. Good video.

Thank you, mark ! It helped me watching you doing these videos ! Im looking to get it for very longtern stays. Had plenty of tents over the years and I really like this boxy look and porch. Just wished they made it in green as well ! I just want something solid and homey for a basecamp as I live and stay for many month in tents every year. I dont have the usual questions on weight, size and set up, but can you tell me about its proformance in hotter and colder weather ???? I have a Crua outdoor TRI that I love apart from that it is not high enough to stand up and not the kind of big porch area like you got there. Would really appriciate ANY comment on how its feel in different weather. Does it get TOO hot in 25 summer plus celcius and above or is it like crua better tent at protecting against both cold and heat than other tents you used ? I can say the Crua TRI does a great job at both and had it for 4 years. Any recommendations on this ridgemonkey XF2 tent the now after 2 years ? Best greeetings from denmark, Mark !

Great video thank you. I have a cunning plan for my camping holidays in the future. I don’t fish just to be clear. But a fishing style bivvy is something I thought about a few months ago. I am touring around the uk in July and August and will be at several campsites along the way. Traditional tents are fine, but take quite awhile to set up, what with the common pole systems and guy ropes all taking time. Why not a fishing bivvy I thought? Anyway now discovering Ridgemonkey and in particular the 2 man……👍👍👍

Hi mark we don’t know each other! I’m going holm fen in July I’m going blind don’t know anything about it really just wondering if you can give me any tips??

I have an oztent. I love it but always look for an improvement. The tub floor on this tent doesn’t look as robust, have you had a chance to test it in water?

I love your lecture, and good for you for choosing what you want. So many people think they own other people it’s offensive. Thanks for the review

Nice one mate

Hi! Do you have a problems with condensation? If so how much?

Hi Mark, great video and can only imagine the comments you received for your first video, could feel your frustration.....a few odd ones on this also to be honest. I am in the market for a RM XF2 but can't decide weather to get a compact one or the standard. Have you seen the compact in the flesh, is it a lot smaller than your standard one. Also, someone posted a video on your tube about their one leaking and suffering terribly from condensation in colder weather. Just wondering, two years on how have you found yours? Thanks in advance for the videos....watched your one on Parco and really enjoyed that.......... went in December with a mate and really like the lake. Cheers, Kevin

Nice bit of kit mate, forget the toxic haters. A friend has the same bivvy with the porch he is disabled and takes his wife fishing and uses it in the UK. They use the porch for their kitchen. Great informative videos.

2 great vids. Fantastic week with your Dad, priceless Mark 🎣🐟👌🌈

What a beast of a bivvy that looks perfect for a 72 hour + stint, just a shame it takes so long to put up, weighs so much and is so long when packed away.

Hi Mark. Is rainbow still open. As I heard it was shut after it was sold

Great film pal

Would love to see a video of the main bivvy being put down ,,i have the xf1 compact ,,and want to know which side of the door way you fold away first left or right ,,1 or 2

Huge bivvy with the porch, would fit 2 people very easy on a long trip away Great video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That’s a huge bivvy Takes some time setting it up

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I wood love to get one as it’s a big bivvy and it’s worth it for the longer trips out As it’s got the height so no more bending over and having a bad back lol 😃

Great video Mark and some fantastic fish..... That heat looks like its hard going!

What a brilliant video. Really enjoyed watching it. Hopefully be booked up tomorrow for next year 😁

How do you think this would fair in a strong wind?

Quality vid mate nice one 🙌🙌

Fantastic timing as I had nothing to watch now my night sorted I’ll look forward to this I’m sure it will be fantastic as always thank you for making it

I’ve come to this from having checked out OZ tents as a mature camper looking for tents that can put up quickly. You mentioned that you sold the OZ tent to fund the RM purchase I wondered what made this a better option for yourself. It’s always good to see honest reviews of pieces of kit.

Thank you Mark for your vidio and setup ! Can you tell me how it feel now after longterm use i term of the feel and temperature inside in wet colder weather and also sunny hot weather as for inner climate ? I saw a vidio where he experienced bad dripping of water inside in humid suummertime in it ? Can you confirm or was it a malfunction ?or falulty tent ? I have the kodiak canvas tent which is solid cotten and very good inner temperature control, and also own the crua outdoor tri for colder weather...the tri is amazing for colder but lacks more sidecross air to be perfect. Their new bigger look to have fixed this for summer use, but else they are super. I look to upgrade to have also a standard high houselike tent for longterm use in summer and this looked the part, but was too worried about condensation to yet go for it. Whats your verdict now on this ridgemonkey 2standard bivvy with the nice front room ? It sure looks great but I am torn between ridgemonkey, a larger cabintent from kodiak canvas import or a bigger crua outdoor. All for longer term use, so dont mind the bulk, and would love a tent that does not get too hot or challanges with condensation as we get in denmark. So far the crua solved many problems and stays hot in shoulder season, but the tiny house size of ridgemonkey look to be comfortable. Hope to hear from anybody who have tried this tent on pros and cons. Thank you.

Hi, can I ask how tall you are? Trying to gauge size. Thanks

Great video. We just subscribed. Check our videos out too 👍🏻

Great vlog would love one 👍

Sounds like someone has a Samsung Washer or Dryer hahaha

Just blind purchased the xf2 standard with porch after watching this. Im hoping the bivvy fits two Indulgance beds in the back so I can use the porch as a kitchen. Great upload mate.

do you mind me asking how much it cost to fish for a week ?

I can't believe the price. I guess I'm used to dyneema mtl. so the cost seems to be a relief. I don't care about the weight so much on this one I'll just be throwing it in my humvee. Thanks for the info. it was helpfull, I would have already bought one but I couldn't believe the price. Don't think I'll be buying as much cuben fiber stuff, I didn't realize how much money I had been blowing. might be worth it if your carrying it on your back but I'm likeing the price and size of this one. Thanks again for the review

It's a very massive biwy but he's strong, but longer for goes up. It's only for a long session for a week or more ... But i love this biwy with the porch
