Love my clam! I am a mosquito magnet, so I need a place to be when camping. Two hints I have for shorter person setup of this tent. First I stake down one corner to pull against so I’m not dragging it around the campsite 😅 pop open two sides and then the roof, if you leave the roof till last you may not be able to reach to push it up. 😊thanks for the great review. PS I also like the side panels, you can put up one or more, great flexibility.

I just putchased one of these and am lovin' it! One note to others out there; I recommend using the door poles! . ❤

Got back yesterday from my very first camping trip. I went to the Garden of God's area in Shawnee National Forrest in Southern Illinois. Found a great spot to camp in. One of the things I learned is that a Clam Shell will be essential and it will be my next purchase. I'm sure there will be lot's of bugs every place I want to go too!! Thank you for posting this!

Hi Leslie Seen such a spacious screen room for the first time and easy to set up 👍 Very nice demo of the product and yeah get well with your wrists

I appreciate the detail in your reviews! As I travel solo, I purchased the 6x6. I haven't needed it yet, but as I will be camping early in bug season this year I am sure to use it lots!

Hammering stakes is awful, I bought several 9 inch hex head lag bolt screws so I can just Drill them into and out the ground with a rechargeable drill. WHAT a help! I’m mostly in the desert and sandy or rocky soil I never have any problem, get my popup shower tent up and down in no time :)

Brilliant dry bag!

Seems like a good purchase. All the a lá carte items (panels, bathtub floor, etc) are dollar-daunting but the setup is so easy, so there’s that. Really great review and demo, as always. DIY Waterproof the existing storage bag for the Clam (or almost any fabric). I have been doing this with old sheets to use as tarps or flys. Let me know if you want details. Being able to easily and cheaply make ANYTHING waterproof has been amazing.💦

Great job on the demonstration/review. It looks like something I may want to purchase in the future. Thanks

You changed the name of your channel. And our hair is the same color! You are so handy!

Great review. Thank you!

Great review!

Excellent review - thanks very much! Just bought a CLAM Quick-Set Escape 11.5 x 11.5 with a couple of wind panels; looking forward to testing it out!

I subscribed! Great explanations and video!

New sub, loved this video, it answered my questions about the Clam. I'll be starting my SUV conversion in a few months, so I'm about to start binge watching your build videos. Thanks! ☮️❤️😎

Thank you for demonstration. I have a 6 x 6.

Good video, thanks.

Thank you for the information…good video! Peace and Blessings

I am a female as well and was worried about the size/weight/portability of high end shelters. Thank you for sharing! Cheers!

I put pool noodles over the tie dow!ns because I am a klutz! How is your wrist feeling Leslie?

Thanks for the review and tips on the cover!! Genius :) I still have the small Clam on my list. But honestly right now I'm on the move just about everyday, so not best for right now but maybe later in time.

I had the 6x6 and I threw it away. It was hard to pop the roof up. I am 5’6 and just pushing up the middle to pop the roof was impossible without trying to hold down a side as well. It got a hole on one of the corner top edges where the pole goes. That didn’t help. Take down was easier than putting up. I just thought it would be easy up and down. Not so. Once up it was great to sit in. The tight screen keeps it warmer inside than the outside. It held up great in heavy wind, even with the side walls. If there are two people this would be easy to put up.

I subscribed!

Hi Lesley, we're André and Anna and subscribe😊

I subscribe I have one of these screen rooms and wanted to decide if I'm going to take it with me or not so I'm about to watch

"Handyman!" Phun-Knee! 🤣 I have seen several RU-vid videos for SetUp. I believe yours is one of the best, if not the Best!. 🎉 And, YES, I did Subscribe&Like! Blessings*SharonZ WA

Thank you for another great video. I love the Clams, but am not ready to invest in one yet. We purchased the Kelty Sideroad Awning. It doesn't have screens and sides, but it is also more compact, light, and easy to set up. We were using it on multiple vehicles too. The Sideroad handles wind really well too. Kelty has a lot of quality shades , awnings, and tents as well a other outdoor gear. Thank you again for the review of your setup. Safe travels.

Great review and tips, would never have thought about the tablecloth bag idea, you obviously think different :)

Thanks for this great video. I have a brand new Clam that I haven’t used yet. I’m wondering if you treated it in any way, like waterproofing and seam sealing.

Great walk-through on the set-up! Question, does it dry quickly after a rain?

Hi hello! - thanks for your review, especially as you've been using it for a year. Are you considering buying the wall covers and/or fly or does a tarp work just as well?

When set up, the height is 7.8 feet !!

Hi...just wondering if you have ever used a propane heater or propane fire pit inside your clam. I was thinking maybe on a low setting it wouldn't be too hot to melt the fabric. Any experience with that? Thanks

What size vinyl table cloth did you buy for your 9x9 Clam?

Which clam? Make sure your hand does not get pinched lifting roof up!

Can this be attached to the back of your van

how does it hold up to wind?

no volume

Nope, worst investment ever. When it rains it becomes a sweet box due to having to put up the side panels to prevent the rain from dripping inside. Yes, the Roof is smaller then the diameter of the outside wall and thus water will fall into this so called cover.

I am in a wheelchair so most screen rooms do not work because the lip on the bottom you can’t drive a wheelchair through them. So I have been seriously looking at purchasing a clam. Thank you for your review. 🚐❤️👍🏻
