That would be my fear ....truck issues out in the middle of nowhere while adventuring. I love pinning, and scouting places on maps. I have so many untraveled pins. As a AZ born native, I agree...it just keeps getting hotter, and hotter out. Wed be bundled up already this time of year, and trick r treating in snow.
Yeah AZ weather has gotten way too hot over the years. I don't miss it lol. I would be way more afraid of the black bears they are curious, plus they have attacked people there. Glad you carry a bear spray with you! We have black bear too but not a huge population. Our deer population is insane. I am so afraid to drive at night here because of that.
Stumbled on your channel while looking into the Kodiak Canvas Truck Tent. Spouse wanted a tent that wasn't on the ground and I thought maybe the canvas material was better than the other stuff the Napier is made of. I think seeing you camp in the snow storm in it gave it enough positive points to make it worth paying a little more for the heavy duty material.
It looks like shoddy workman ship and lazy quality control. If there actually are any quality control at all. Overall I might buy one at a lower price. About two thirds the price
I don't think you have been too hard on the tent for $300 bucks it shouldn't have a hole in it fresh out of the bag. Love the potty song that made me laugh!
Join me as I embark on a tent camping adventure in the beautiful woods of northern Arizona, but this trip takes a frustrating turn. In this video, I review the NatureHike Cape 6-Person Instant Tent, and unfortunately, it’s the second tent they’ve sent me with shocking defects. From damaged materials to poor quality control, I dive into the glaring flaws of this tent, sharing my honest thoughts after receiving not one, but two defective tents from NatureHike. If you’re considering buying this tent, watch this first! Don't forget to like and subscribe for more outdoor adventures! 🔥 DRR T-Shirts & More!: tee.pub/lic/6X891BWXWEU
To answer your question about whether you are too hard on them, I would say no. Honest reviews should always be given. It's up to them how to take it. But another great video.
Forgot how many products I got after seeing you using them. Appreciate your content. I still use that cot all the time camping and for the kids when traveling.
Those military style cots are great if you’re base camping for a few days and not concerned about weight or bulk. With use it will get a little easier to pop the spreader in. Having to put one up and take one down everyday overlanding? Not worth the trouble. We’ve got the Gazelle T4, 3 years with no complaints. It’s held up well. You just have to get used to the D style doors.
I like your view. And your call for inner peace. As a retired CRNA 84 gone now from the hectic life of the OR a call to go camping warms my heart. Bless you. Mike
@@DirtRoadReset South Africa is one of the most spectacular countries to live in, with many different trails to do.. However our crime rate and severe violent crime make boondocks g almost not worth the while, so you kina stuck to going to established resorts. Stealth camping is an option, but you need to be ultra careful, which takes the pleasure out of that. Our gear is mostly Chinese crap imports, as the retail market is overwhelmingly dominated by mass mart owned by Wal-Mart,, so good gear is either exorbitantly expensive thanks to our junk status currency, or you have to jump at second hand gear, of which there is quite a bit going right now as people with resources are selling up and getting out. Resort camping"s great, wonderful climate, spectacular scenery... just be warned, one hell of a lot of highly venomous insects / anacrids / snakes and other delightful friends that will happily make your home theirs, OH don't forget the maleria carrying mosquito, the cause of more deaths than any other single creature in the world.... So no tarp camping, you secure your sleep zone..... given all of that I cannot describe to you, the african night sky, you just gotta come here and experiance our world.... it will leave you forever changed
The worst part of that style cot (and there are many different brands that use it) is the hair trigger release on the tension bars. The slightest brush against them and they pop apart.
That cot is just a civilian copy of a military cot. That's how cots were designed for years and years, and is still how military cots are to this day. Yeah they can be a little aggravating when new, but they aren't all that bad and they do get quite a bit easier after using them a few times and letting the fabric stretch and settle. They are designed to be more of a durable and long term use cot. They aren't great for weekend camping trips. If you want easy you gotta get one of those fancy new UL backpacking cots with the levered snap on legs. I have a few different ones and they are pretty nice, and very easy and quick to setup.
The tent is shit, I’ll give you that. Lack of skills on the cot and saw, though. There is nothing wrong with either, you just have to master your tools.
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
