Dutch Army Tent Under Review: Exploring the Versatility and Comfort for Day Camps! 

Hi, I used to be in the Dutch army, I think the guideline-things are like that because you can zip these tents together. Not sure, because we almost never used the tents because of the weight (airmobile brigade, so we had to carry everything).

I'm 6'6", so that looks like a great tent for me. I might have to borrow a supermarket trolley to heave it around, though.

I think they're worth the weight! When I was in the army, my pack and gear weighed more than I did. If you're only going a couple of miles into the woods, it seems like a great sturdy option.

Hi just subscribed. I ordered my Dutch tent 2 days ago. I am new to this as well in my forties but love being outdoors. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Paul

Lovely tent, if you can carry them those old canvas tents are great. Looking forward to hearing all about your first solo camp out. Love the music too.

Great looking tent! I have the same one. Good idea to seam seal it and use with a tarp if rain is a possibility - they can leak quite a bit. That said they seem to be quite durable. Mine came in great shape to. For their faults they're still great tents - not for the through hikers 15 lbs./apx. 6.82 Kg. Throw in a tarp and a ground sheet and you have some serious weight for long hikes - doable though for most people in good shape. I have one of those German hexi stoves to - I prefer the wood/twig stoves.

Great video !

Tent is Awesome buddy .. cheers Chris & Sam

Well I've not seen these before so thee's right lad, thanks for putting it up.

Great little vid mate. Got a few of the gang that use Dutch army tents and they love them.

Another great video Ant 🐜. Love the fact that you just want to get out, think you have the bug lol ATB Andy. Hope to see you gain soon mate.

Going to give my Subscription based on this video as I enjoyed it and I have been researching people's opinions both good and bad on the Dutch Army Canvas Tent. I know they're heavy, but I reckon they're bomb proof too.

The two draw strings are for when you connect a second tent to it pal, you might already know that now mate 👍

Very nice good show I need to get one thanks

Decent tent Ant , looking forward to seeing it used on an overnighter . I guess its not in the ultra light bracket lol bring on the solo wild camp atb Dave...

I feel that little stove would br a good sort of “second” thing to boil ya brew if ya just stopping for a bit or while ya foods on the go

Nice one Ant, A penny stove would fit inside that esbit thing a treat, or one of those emergency meths burners

Love these old ex military tents. It blends in really well with the woodland, I noticed. Lots of room inside as well. That hole between the zips ls the only real thing that would bother me but I reckon you could get round that somehow. I've just bought a polish lavvu from the same place. Great store. 👍

Considering buying the Dutch Army Tent as it’s canvas and authentic army issue.

I just happened upon this video. I like this tent design because of the ease of ingress/egress. But compared to my French Army F-2, I'll stick with my F-2. I like your camp chair. I saw one the other day which needs only three sticks/branches & gets you off the ground.

Don't forget to use the velcro tabs on the base of the poles and tent . Regards

Another brilliant video mate! Definitely gave me more to think about mate, I didn’t realise how big it was! I toyed with the idea of one of those stoves as well, saw a video on on them and the guy stood 2 tablets in the little slots in the bottom and it burnt for a lot longer apparently, thinking of going for a crusader cup set myself, but maybe a hexistove would be a good lightweight option, id imagine you can still use sticks and things in it too. You’ve got me planning where to go for my first solo camp now haha, there is a place near by which you pay for but is as close as you can get to wild camping that I’m toying with the idea of popping to

Hello the stove really hope u start getting more subs well u should get a big tent to so u can have more for other stuff

Hi mate, great to see you out again. I am so relieved that you are aware of the zip weakness but a light weight DPM 3X3 tarp would be a good solution and I feel the Dutch tent is a great protection from wind and cold and a great kit if you utilize it well, think I'll try one, really looking forward to your rain test and wishing you all the best. Really nice film again, keep em coming bud. Atb. Harry.

May i please ask the name and brand of the folding seat. Also thanks for the in depth review of the tent I didn’t know it had air vents at the top sides. Thank you for that also I’m now a new sub of your channel thanks to this video.

Nice one 👍 Thanks for Sharing, How are you getting on with this Tent ? I had one a while a go but my friend was after one so i let it go but i will be getting another one, ATB, Subbed 👍

Subscribed! Great video. Do you mind if I ask you where you bought the tent from?

Nice vid, thanks mate. But I won't be rushing out to buy one of those tents. I wd say that most of my camping experiences have been in the shoulder seasons & winter, so I need a top quality tent. IMV there is NOTHING to beat a proper double-skinned tent with an all round flysheet (also, with an all round flysheet, you can cook in the porch in foul weather). But the forces need a tent that is tough, simple, quick & easy to erect (and I do like the camo pattern). I see that driving rain will easily penetrate the point where the three zips meet, if not the rest of the fabric. What's the weight of the DAT? I had an old Mk1 Vango, only lasted 37 years, replaced it with a Vango U/L Xenon - amazing, 1.8kg with additional groundsheet. (And then there's all those American vids about using TARPS - eyes roll!) Thanks anyway.

i thought it was barrow bridge at first. Sunday night would be better for your wild camp, kids are at school and the animals come out to play!! :)

ik gebruik de zelfde Tent met bushcraft
