I reckon you should test out a Naturehike tent, very budget friendly but do get some stick for copying 'other' styles while also suggesting they are 4 season when some of the big hitters on RU-vid suggest they aren't!
@AntSurviveTheNight
@AntSurviveTheNight 7 месяцев назад
Hi mate, yeah I do. I use the Cloud Peak 2 buddy. I must agree, I wouldn't say its a four season tent. I certainly wouldn't want to be in it on top of a mountain in windy weather bud. I was just talking to another chap about this tent. If you get your hands on thicker poles it may stand a chance but then again he was talking about the zappers failing so I dunno. Cheers pal, thanks for having a watch, Ant 👍
@Olan...
@Olan... Год назад
You have provided the Empirical Evidence Ant so a debate over it being a 4 season tent isn't really worthwhile , Not all 4 season tents do the job equally as good as each other or if at all as you have proved and for 50 quid its a no brainer if you are on a restricted budget. Great review, well done.
@AntSurviveTheNight
@AntSurviveTheNight Год назад
Oh thank you so very much Olan, lovely comment that pal, cheers! Yeah it is a proper bargin 4 season tent in my eyes mate. It allows people to be able to get out and experience the cold season at a cheaper cost as oong as people make sure they have a decent sleep system (which I have) your good to go in some of the more challenging conditions. Thanks again matey 👍

I bought a naturehike cloud peak 2 but it said it was a 4 season tent but having got it although don't get me wrong i love it but im into my winter wild camps and my other tents are the eurohike tamar 2 and mountain warehouse so this will definitely do me for that so thanx again for the tips in your video and ill let you know what i think when i get it. Oh and im about 5/8 and about 140lb so it should suit me dwn to the ground 😊

Hi Ant mate, good review, really enjoyed them all for the bobcat 1 as I’ve got one. Have a look at another RU-vidr called “Camping Caledonia” or summat like that, he’s done a mod on the back side to pull the fabric out better to stop drooping and flappin of the fabric. Worth a watch 👌. Really itching to get mine out now proppa. Had it out in the garden once just to check the difficulty of the pole connection, and to be honest it wasn’t all that bad, just did it like you said with a bit of pressure on it 👍 all the best, look forward to you next vid 16:35

@IvanDP1967 4 месяца назад
I thought I'd watched all your Bobcat videos, but I somehow missed this one 🤦‍♂ Definitely agree with other comments regarding you getting some sort of recognition from Go Outdoors or OEX for what you've done for this super little tent. I think I've said before, nobody has tested this tent more than you as far as I can see. A couple of things I have noticed.... I bought my Bobcat around July last year (another sale and got it for £54 😁) and it has 2 guy lines attached to the pegging points on the pole which makes it even more stable. OK, you do have to add a couple of extra pegs to be able to utilise these to their full potential, but we have a set of pegs that goes out with every tent so always have more than enough. Although I'm 6'2" I'm a permanent side sleeper and apart from when I wake up first thing in the morning and possibly need a stretch, there's ample room for me to sleep in it 😴 As I don't use trekking poles, my fix for the rear guy was to pick up a cheap piece of aluminium rod, cut it to the same size as the original pole when folded and then dremmel a grove in to wrap the rear guy around. Only adds about 100-150g to the overall weight, and cures the rear sagging problem 👍

I found out about the Bob Cat 1 on UTube - saw 3 or 4 videos. Decided I’d buy it but living in the States I couldn’t find it. I finally had to order it from England and of course pay all that postage. However, in the end, I really like the Bob cat l. Everyone seems to like it. If you’re more than 6 ft tall you’ll have to sleep with bent knees. This is my 4th tent. I bought one that was too heavy for backpacking. My 2nd tent was light weight but I couldn’t sit up in it. I meditate so I wanted one with more head room. I bought a bevy tent. I thought it would be a good tent in the winter but it didn’t have vents. Nix to that tent. Finally, the OEX Bobcat 1. It was lightweight enough for hiking and bicycle touring. Does pretty well in wind. I’ll use it as a 3 season tent - that’s enough for me. Thanks for your video.

Great video! I am sure you could stitch on a bit of silicone tubing on that flap to guide the water off to the sides. Should also make the inner 220cm, but 200 is great for the kids (and kid size men)! 😂 Very similar to my Tarptent Rainbow being a single pole style tent. Love the headroom.

@@AntSurviveTheNight Tarptent makes some great stuff, and not extremely over priced either. If you want to try the bivy life I’f recomend a regular bivy like the large OEX bushpro and a tarp. Hooped bivys really are for mountaineering and tactical use, not so much for fun. If you want to try ultralight Borah gear makes tarps and bivy bags for a fair price, also Gramexpert has some good offerings too. And don’t forget MLD :)

I currently own an OEX Phoxx II V II and OEX Jackal 11, and love both. If I can find a Bobcat 1 for less than £50.00, I would certainly add one to the collection, just to keep for bike packing.

eurohike Tamar2... different role to the lightweight compact bobcat... but if u want roomey interior space to get changed with ease.. or take a dog.. or film a lot inside during bad weather..hard to beat for £90 or less.............. weight is a negative but only 500g more than the cloud peak2

I like the front flap cover, as it does provide some shelter from the rain if U just got the top quarter of door open to see outside or get some air & covers the front vent, plus i think that the door is one of the best features by having so many opening options & love the way it can can be propped up as a full canopy with walkpoles if the wind ain't too crazy...!👍 PS: "Sell Us ya Ebay Link" to those red plastic clips please, i can't find them anywhere...!🤔😄🙏

I've had it on the top of Dog Hill in four inches of snow with a temp of -6c and it was just fine - I'd say it's a four season. Another little tip for this tent is that you can use the little rings on the guys to hold the bundle together when storing. Slip the bundle into the ring and twist to tighten, job done! 👍🏼

I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it if same price as you paid as I would feel done otherwise now.not height issue in that for me then and great hack for the inner. I need Leon as my personal shopping. Where did he get that tarp for that much. Ledge. You have sold me that bobcat, I currently have vango tempest 200 recommend by ledge MCM outdoors which is a great tent.
