saying something obvious: have had many of old tents (still do). but when going out to use them (if not for a while) i always reseam them and set them up and hose water on them to check for leaks (and add some waterproofing in areas if needed.) have many tents that are old and stand up well just the seaming is importent for rain. keep dry keep warm keep camping in the rain, nothing like it.
I used to go canoeing and camping every year for a five night trip, the day after Labour Day in Algonquin Park. Six days with zero people or bugs. Rain Lake, entrance through Kearney, Ont.
Hi Connolly Outdoors! What an adventure you two had. I would have bailed into the truck if my gear was performing as yours did. Way to stick it out! Looking forward to seeing the next one.
Hi, yes it was quite An adventure. I never thought about bailing to the truck but I was nervous through the night about gear failure but luckily we managed! Thanks for your comment. We will be out again soon!! 🏕️
I learned that you should have a gap between tent and tarp, they must not touch each other. That tent has not been used for a long time, perhaps some new impregnations before use. Maybe a big tent, it's just not made for heavy rain. You only learn by trying. Keep up the good work looking forward to the next video.
You are correct. I thought with using a tarp it would be fine but I underestimated the tarp I need a bigger one but. Or huge like the blue one I brought. Thanks for your kind words!
The tent definitely not designed to handle such rain... or by design, any rain. I see when you have your upper tarp somewhat above your inner tent, your inner tent still exposed to direct rain. That is absolutely not good as eventually condesation will happen. And as other have mentioned, your tarp / fly / outer tent should never touched with your inner tent as water will find ways to seeps through. Id suggest take this tent only for fair weather and get yourself a nice brand new 3p tent. Have fun with your next camping trip ! :)
You are right and I do have other tents that I use. As I mentioned we brought this tent because of the size my other 3p tent is what I normally use but decided not to for this camp! ⛺️
Yes it was quite moist! Thanks Sam I’m a fan of random adventures 2.0 and your channel. I Just watched your camp with Tony and your Hurricane camp! Good stuff 🏕️
