I recently purchased an OZtrail stretcher tent for my upcoming trip to Tassie and I am seriously so impressed. Great quality, fully blacked out when fly is on, comfortable, easy and quick to set up, and ideal in both cold and warm weather. It keeps the warmth in when the fly is on, but is super breezy with the 3 large doors during the hotter months. I bought it from BCF for $299 - members price ($399 for full price). It really is a great tent... the only questionable aspect is its weight and size if you are wanting to use it for motorbike camping... BUT! I also show how I secure it to my Vulcan without any issues at all.

I have spent the last 2 years going to rallies and touring around on the dl1050 using the denali kakadu and an air bed, got really sick of getting off the ground on our tassy trip back in feb. Decided to try the stretcher tent with a black wolf mega deluxe self inflater at this weekends ruptured budgie rally, sooo much better being able to sit up and not being on the ground. It is alot of weight to be carrying around especially cause I already carry a fridge over the pillion seat.

@TheVSChick 2 месяца назад

Yeah I was worried about the extra weight with the stretcher tent, but the bike handles it fine. Waaaayyyy better than being on the ground. Love it.

Great to see you and another great video :) Thank you for the tour of your tents. Very informative. Great to see the dogs having a good time as well. Good luck at the rally and stay safe :)

@TheVSChick Год назад

Thanks Ian 🙂 It was actually pretty fun setting them all up again. I should have invited my mates for an impromptu camping session though! Missed opportunity lol. The doggos definitely have been keen for it haha! (Vid on the rally coming soon). 🙂 Ride safe!!

@MonkeyButtRides Год назад

That is a collection of tents you have there. I see why you like the Denali. I also see why you like that stretcher tent. Easy setup, off the ground, shade, works as a chair to....super nice!

@TheVSChick Год назад

I just need to buy another 2 so I have one for each night of the week haha 😁 I really do love the Denali. Will definitely keep using that for longer stays. The stretcher tent will be great for those travelling camping trips or one nighters I reckon.

@KrakensGarageandAdventures Год назад

It sure looks like you have your camping gear sorted. I really like the awning on your new tent. It provides a place to get out of the rain and still cook or get some fresh air.

@TheVSChick Год назад

Certainly getting there. I'm looking forward to testing it all out properly soon. I'm doing a 5 night poker run in about a month. It will be an awesome practice for Tassie 😁

@BigBert Год назад

Wow all those tents go you. comfort will be so important on your big trip down here. loved the outro bloody dog 😎👍

@TheVSChick Год назад

Sooo many tents! 😆 I'm really hoping the stretcher tent will just make the whole trip waaay easier and comfier. A couple of nights on the ground crawling into a tent is fine but everyday for a month... gotta have something that won't kill my back!! Frikkin Pablo...Every time I turned my back he was lining up for a wee on one of the tents haha

@TheVSChick 4 месяца назад

Ooo awesome! You've made a great decision. 👍

@davidbreen4353 Год назад

YEA!! goodto see you again. That tent is amazing to set up. My problem is it sticks out farther than your side bags. my 2 person tent is perfect size on my Rebel. The Roc straps are the greatest thing since white bread. Those bungee cords were the worst freaking hassle to load anything. I do admit it's a pain setting up and taking down a conventional tent everyday, but being on a moto camp i have all the time in the world. I love your doggy's, cute little pups. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your rally video's Be Safe.

@TheVSChick Год назад

Heeeyyyy!!! 😁👋 It's been a little while since I've uploaded a vid lol. Oops! The stretcher tent is definitely on the larger scale but it's not too bad on the Vulcan. Totally agree with it being too big for the rebel though. Isn't camping just the best!? I love it. Such good fun. And I love that everyone set up is different. Whatever works is good 👍 I hate those bungee cords too haha Aight thanks for watching! Rally vid coming soon! Right safe!

You definitely got your camping sorted, Stacey. At the start I was wondering how you set it on the bike, I see clearly now. No lane filtering for you with the tent loaded. You're really getting into the Rallies, that awesome. Looking forward to your vid on that. Ride well. Cheers

@TheVSChick Год назад

It's seriously massive isn't it haha! I was worried it would feel different when riding but can't tell at all.... definitely no lane filtering though haha! I've done 2 rallies now 😁😁😁 I'm even doing a poker run in about a month which I'm really looking forward to. I'll do a vid on that one too. 🤪 Ride safe!!

@RoadsOfOz Год назад

I liked the look of the Denali tent. I have a 3 person hiking tent and I am looking to downsizing to reduce size and weight being packed on my bike.

@TheVSChick Год назад

The Denali is definitely a great tent. Great quality and heaps of space in there. Packs down super small. I especially like it for the larger openings... heaps easier to get in and out of. I'll be going between the Denali and the stretcher tent I reckon.

Hi Stacey. Just found you and enjoying your videos. (Wife and i now going through your play list .) We both retired now so have time to enjoy videos like yours (it gets us out 😂) respect and thank you. Ride safe. Old dave from the uk .ps we Don't have a channel.

Hi Dave!! I'm glad you and your wife found the channel. 🙂 Do you both ride?? I think there's nothing better than getting on the bike and going for a cruise. It's the best. Actually... I think retirement would be pretty enjoyable too! Haha

Hello over there!! Thanks so much for watching and for the lovely feedback. Here's the link to the rokstraps... however you might be able to find some a little closer to Sweden to save on postage? www.rokstrapsaustralia.com.au/ I made a vid a while back on the rokstraps if you want to check it out too. 🙂 Ride safe! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pRwzGIB2Vr4.html

@bushcraftoz2 9 месяцев назад

Nice review. Great to be off the ground. Have you had it out in much rain?How does it go in the rain?

@TheVSChick 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching 🙂 I'd recommend setting it up and spraying it lightly with the hose before your first use to help with water proofing. I haven't had any leaks... and it was absolutely bucketing down so that's a pretty good sign! 👍

@bushcraftoz2 9 месяцев назад

@@TheVSChick thanks!

@Sanus180 8 месяцев назад

Good vid - wondering how is the condensation when the fly is on?

@TheVSChick 8 месяцев назад

Yeah there's a little condensation... but there's a bit of space between the tent and the fly so it doesn't cause too much of a hassle. Thanks for watching 🙂

@markh6676 6 месяцев назад

Looks ideal, have you tested this in a heavy downpour yet, any leaks? Still use it?

@TheVSChick 6 месяцев назад

It's great! We just got back from a month on the road and we got hit with a massive storm. It had a few very small leaks along the seam but kept the inside 97% dry. My advice is to just make sure you have the end rope really tight (at the lower end of the tent). We didn't have it quite tight enough and the water pooled (still didn't leak though).

@schmuppetify 3 месяца назад

How does it hold up in the rain? Do you use a mattress/mat with it?

@TheVSChick 3 месяца назад

Really well actually. Just make sure you pull that rope at the bottom of the tent really tight so the water runs off. I took it on a 7000km trip to Tassie and had no issues at all. Great stretcher tent. And yep! I use a thin inflatable mattress in it. Works a treat.
