Love that you timed how long it took you to put it up! Nice size tent, I like that you have head room in the entire tent! Have a great day!

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

Ya head room is one of my top criteria! i gotta be able to stand up and stretch my back. I hate feeling like I'm folding into a taco to get changed etc. We time the put up and take down of all of our new tents to give Ye Faithful Few an idea of what to expect when they do it for the first time. Its been well received and appreciated over the years so we keep doing it! Thanks for watching Flack Fam!!!! :-)

@LizCooper Год назад

Idk if it helps anyone but the video on academy sports said to put the rain fly on before you lift the top. Hope it helps

@DMSAdventures Год назад

Yes thats definitely the way to do it! Thanks for pointing it out. Hopefully it helps someone out!

@kevincolvin9939 10 месяцев назад

Before you pop both ceilings up put the rain cover on. I have this tent and love it.

@DMSAdventures 10 месяцев назад

That's awesome! Have you had any leading issues in rainy conditions?

@BackpackingwithBuckley 3 года назад

What a palace man! You do a really nice job with reviews my friend! This is cool.

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

Thank you sir i appreciate it! It has some awesome features for sure!! SO quick to put up... once you figure out the rainfly!!

@Ambohouse 3 года назад

Liking the look of that one. Hope to see it in person sometime. Next meetup we will have to compair it and the little gazelle. Love that it comes with better stakes. Our ozark trail had lights like those be sure and unhook them when storing they like to turn on while packed up and you end up with dead batterys.

@Ambohouse 3 года назад

On the rain fly.. Start with it inside out on the front. Hook up the both ends. Then grab the back two lines. And walk them over and back towards the rear. Lol learned the hard way.

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

Ya in the 2nd vid i talk about how we'd probably leave the batteries in it and end up with a bunch of battery acid in it! I hope you can watch the other 2 vids. You might have good input since you got the T4. On the rain fly, ya i basically had that idea and actually put it up again.! I didn't show it cause i didn't do it much faster the 2nd time!! I bet the gazelles are easier since that pole actually plugs into the corner and keeps it in place. The straps fall off easier on the Magellan cause it's hard to keep tension on them! Thanks for the input and the comments! Hope to see ya soon!!

Nice tent I got the Magellan 21 person tunnel tent instead because it's bigger. I wish they made a hub style twice as big as that one

@rachielynn88 2 года назад

Thinking about getting this tent and I appreciate your video! The official how to video shows them putting the rainfly on before pushing the ceiling into place. Perhaps that makes it easier?

@DMSAdventures 2 года назад

I ended up reading somewhere that they expect you to open those vents before you even put the rainfly on. It's just if you forget... you're out of luck! It's a super cool tent... just plan on having a tarp to throw over it if it's going to rain super hard!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!! 😀

@MrRamyourcar 8 месяцев назад

I added spray water repellent to the rainfly and tent body water just beads right off.

@AdventureEncounters 3 года назад

Yikes $640 👀 ... how much was this one? Lol... the warning to read the directions... that always cracks me up! Wow! Went up really quick ... minus the other small pieces! Ya, the rain fly is always a pain... especially if only one person is setting it up! Great 1st review! 👋👋 - Ashley from Adventure Encounters

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

This one comes in at $320 which still isn't super cheap but by comparison its a steal!! Haha ya the warning seems a little dramatic! I was very happy with the setup process, just needs a little tweaking on the rain fly... or help! No way its 90 seconds total but still super fast for the size! Thanks for watching and commenting Ashley!! :-)

@jamesreeve6812 2 года назад

Put rain fly on before raising the roof.

@inmongoose 3 года назад

Excited for the rest of the series. We have been looking at the T8 for a couple of months and I’m all for a cheaper option if it’s just as good. I’ll be curious how airflow and water protection would compare since the T8 has the larger fly that is raised on the ends by the shock poles…

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

You definitely should wait for the rest of the series! The next one posts Wednesday this week and the 3rd one next Saturday. There was just Too much info to cram into 1 video.!!

@@DMSAdventures it’s a great tent. My 8yo claimed the back room as her space. We usually tarp it so our kids don’t get up at 5:30 when there is light. 🤣🤣🤣

@Knowfere 2 года назад

Pretty sure you have your rainfly on reversed. It seems the longer corner points would be on the flatter end of the tent...and the shorter ones over the bubbled end of the tent?

@DMSAdventures 2 года назад

Goodness!! I think you might be right. It would make more sense for those short corners to be on the side with the door. Then it wouldn't interfere with the door AS much. The strap would still be in the way. I don't think that makes any difference on how the rain fly performs though. Thanks for tipping us off Linda!!!! :-)

@peggyboehnlein8755 3 года назад

Ooh, I like that tent!!, i was wondering where the rugged mountain sibs were? You needed help!

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

Haha i did this a while ago and i can't remember what they were doing!! To busy for dads silly videos apparently.

@unpavedexplorer338 3 года назад

Wow... I like that tent. You are a tall person. Would it be a challenge for a short person to put up?

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

Make sure and wait to see the whole series before you decide to pick it up. I go over some issues i have with the tent later. Next vid releases Wednesday and the final next Saturday. To answer your question the only challenge you'll have is getting the rain fly on but i think there's a way to get around that by connecting one side before pulling it over!

@eddgimenez 2 года назад

Just before you popup the roof put the rain fly on- the roof is disappointing as I really thought it was see through plastic and you could unzip it i wish it was instead of the screen netting you really need to add the rain fly on it at all times - I wrote on your other post months ago I would be buying the gazelle tent but the price point on this one finally got me - so I jumped in - I picked it up in a Cadillac SRX and put the box inside barley had the room even with the seat down as the SRX is basically a station wagon or suv kinda vehicle when I got home I took it out the box thinking the tent would be shorter it was 7 feet 8" inches- so if you had a family and had to place the seat down to carry and put it in side the vehicle even an suv it's long and you would been the seat down - so to put it on top of the car/suv you need tall people and two people it's not lite the handles should be on both ends - I was told by the guy at the store he puts his on his roof rack and wraps it in a tarp so incase he is driving his tent doesn't get wet - I have it and debating talking it back as like I said it's huge it's just us too and maybe too much tent - it's definitely not a tent to overland and set up every day for a 7 or 14 day trip out

@DMSAdventures 2 года назад

You are correct on all counts! These are long Tents! You might consider the Gazelle T4. I know several overlanders who are just 2 people that use that. If the T4 is still too expensive look up "Trail Medic" on RU-vid. He got a knock off of the T4 that seems like a great budget choice. Ya if it isn't going to work for you then take it back!

Any advice on drying the tent?

@DMSAdventures Год назад

Do you mean when the inside gets wet? Presuming it isn't raining anymore get everything out of the tent and air dry it all. Open all the windows and doors in the tent. Use a shirt or some cloth to soak up any puddles and wring them out outside, then just let the tent air dry!

@@DMSAdventures yeah I don't even know why I considered it. Anything I've ever had Magellan was terrible quality. Clothes are poor quality. I will never by anything Magellan again. I have a 12 man tent and it leaks so bad everywhere . Material rips easily. Honestly I would give it zero stars if I had to rate it .

Hello DMS, is that cordless mic? Is it good? Do you recommend it?

@DMSAdventures 3 года назад

I absolutely recommend it!! It's pricey but with some things you get what you pay for. It's a Saramonic Blink 500 system with the USB-C reciever. I did a different kind of video on it you could check out if you want to know more. Just look down our videos. Fireside poetry with the Saramonic Blink 500 System.

@DMSAdventures 8 месяцев назад

It is a tall tent. Try and maybe hook the fly into the bottom corners on one side. Then walk over one corner. If it stays hooked in the first two corners you should be able to get it.
