The 9 Best Desert Tents

All right, so we didn’t read the we just put it together, intuitively uh. We didn’t put down any of the clips or anything because we just wanted to test this thing out. What are we what five minutes? Five minutes yeah this thing is great. Let’s see, we’ve got. Let me give you a tour, a grand tour of my crib here, that’s right, tents on mtv cribs, it’s another uh door right there, so you have an emergency exit in case.

Such emergencies are warranted and also came with. You know these other tie things, so you can further tie it down, but yeah it just popped. It just popped right out of there, and that was that we put on the the fly top thing. I don’t know the correct terms: I’m uh, I’m not the best with these outdoorsy things, but uh, I’m learning awesome tent. By far the best I have 10-4.

What’s your assessment, dad I’ll sleep in it yeah and there you have it.

So so one of our viewers recently asked us to show a video uh about how we set up the play. Do uh belt tent and we’re going to do that right now, and we’re also going to show you near the end a way to fold it up really efficiently, because we struggled with that a little bit when we first got the tent, and now we can fold it up. So there’s actually some spare room in the duffel bag that it came in so yeah. Here we go so something we’ve kind of learned to do is when we fold up the tent, we like to put it in a way that we know which way the entrance is on it, and that way we can orientate it in the direction we want to go.

So what I do is I put our accessories and whatnot in the same end of the tent uh that the door is on, because you can’t really tell when it’s folded up which way the door is, and it’s really nice to be able to roll this out of the duffel bag and in the direction uh that the door is gonna go, so you don’t have to turn that whole tent around once it’s spread out. So I’ve got a few accessories in here. I’m just going to get out of here extra tarp sleeping kit, I’m going to take all our whoops, I’m going to take all our pegs out and everything pulls bag so um.

I know I want the the door. I think we’ll put the door right here, so I’m gonna orientate the door in that direction and instead of trying to struggle this out of the bag, I’m just gonna roll the bag over and pull it off. Okay, just gonna roll this to one end over here we always put a tarp down just protect a little more keeps things from poking into the pool, and it’s a good idea to match the size of your tarp to the tent, because if you have the tent out um, if you have the tarp out a long ways from the tent water’s, just gonna collect from the rain and go in under the floor of the tent, so we actually tuck the tarp in once.

We’re done another thing. You kind of want to pay attention to it’s, not that critical. If you have a tall enough chimney, but we like to have the stove jack generally on the side that is away from the wind so that the wind carries smoke and potential sparks away from from the tent. So what I’m doing is I’m just spreading out the floor of the tent? It doesn’t I don’t have to pull out the walls or anything just have to get it approximately spread out in a circle, because when you peg it it’ll circularize, just fine.

So the first thing we’re going to do is we’re just going to pin down the perimeter of the tent and to do that, we’re going to use the wire style pegs. This comes with the tent comes with two different types of peg raven, and this is the one you want to use on the perimeter because it will be the least force if the wind comes up. So you want to use the the smallest pegs for that and what I want to do when I’m pegging the perimeter just to keep the tent as round as possible.

Uh is I’ll, peg opposite sides, so I’ll start with the two far sides of the tent. The nice thing about these wire pegs is that you can generally just push them in by hand or with your foot, but there’s a lot of ice out here today, so I’m gonna have to tap them in a bit and since it’s just a demo, I might not even poke him in all the way, but good enough for now so the opposite side. So, like I say, you always want to um peg opposite sides, and what that does is it keeps the tent round? Let me go to the exact opposite side now so slippery on this tarp.

I’m just gonna put some tension on it. Pull it now. The front of the tent doesn’t have a single central anchor uh, that’s right across from the back, so I’ll do the back and then I’ll do the two, the ones on each side of the door like to give it a little bit of tension not too much for this one, because the other ones aren’t in on that end yet helps it in well. That is solid ground good enough for today, since we’re not staying in the tent just setting it up as a demo, pull it tight, so um, just a tip if you’re not used to setting up these big tents is that your anchoring will be a lot stronger.

If you put a significant angle on this, like beyond 45 degrees, is what I try and accomplish what that does. Is it pushes the anchor into the ground uh so that doesn’t have this leverage up here? So I’m just gonna run around quickly and put the rest of these anchors in and again, I’m just gonna go across from each side to side that crossbills are here. That’s cool. Have some crossbows yet around here. Okay, next on the agenda is the polls- and this will look a little more convoluted than it actually is, and that’s because I have an electrical box and some cables uh running up my main pole here that I haven’t taken off for the demo, so uh that won’t be on your tent, but it’s on this one, so you’ll have to put up with it.

So these are all tied together. So there’s not really any confusion. That’s the main poll, it’s as easy, as that, so something I should mention quickly about these poles uh, the first time you use them. It’s important to know this uh. This pole is really nice. It’s uh some kind of painter enamel on it, but the pulls for the door frame uh when we first put the tent up. These had a lot of manufacturing oils on them. Still, you couldn’t really see it on there until you looked at your hands and our hands were all black and we didn’t want to get that on the canvas so uh.

We just took a bucket of hot soapy water, some claws and we spent a little bit of time, actually took a while to get it all off. It’s pretty hardy stuff, but uh yeah. You might want to clean these ones really well before you install them in the tent for the first time. The electrical system we have on here is actually for uh. Some lighting we’ve got some led lights that we can turn on and off from the base of the pole and uh we’ve got a fan ceiling fan that we put in just to push some of the hot air from the stove back down into the room.

So these um I’ve been considering actually uh, putting some two-way tape on these and some uh some spacers and actually putting them into these poles permanently because they fall off once in a while when you’re trying to put them into the tent. So we’ll do the central pole first, these other small poles are for the um for the door frame, I’m just going to unzip the door, so we can get in there. Here’s where it’s really nice to have two people, because there’s a bit of weight behind this, but one person can do it.

So the idea is, the top of the pole goes right into the center of the ceiling and then there’s actually a marker and an extra pad on the floor that the bottom goes on, and the other thing I should show you here is: it comes with this sort of handy hook on it for hanging stuff, and you can’t really reach this hook once it’s up there, so we always have a piece of cordage around it and what that allows us to do is just sort of tent flags things up and down to this hook like our lantern or whatever we might have.

Sometimes we dry clothes on it and whatnot, so I’m just gonna take that top end in push it in I’m going to crawl in there and find the center of the ceiling okay. So that’s what the center of the ceiling looks like, so I’m just going to poke that in there and make sure it stays aligned right about to the middle. One thing you want to do before you set the pull down on the floor in the center of the floor is right there, where that pad.

Is you just want to make sure that that rubber piece has stayed on? So you don’t poke into the floor with the end of the pole, and if you don’t have it in the center, you can take a break if you need for a second for the real line where you’re holding onto the hole from so that. As long as that, rubber piece is on there not going to hurt anything, I want to try and lift the weight off it, so I’m not dragging it across the floor.

There done. For that part, just one more check make sure it’s kind of in the center of the ceiling up there. It’s pretty close, think we’re good okay. So now we’re going to put the door frame poles on and it comes with this piece here and what happens with this? Is this piece we always store it on here, so we don’t lose it, but this little cap goes over the outside of the tent at the front where this goes through the hole, so it kind of just blocks rain from coming down into the hole, and it’s pretty straightforward, I like to assemble it in the tent because it’s easier to get in the tent when it’s disassembled just latch it in there.

It’s just a big triangle: get it around this side of the door a little easier for this side of the pole like so it doesn’t matter which side goes on what side it’s symmetrical then there’s this hole right at the top of the door. So I pull that cap off, put this in the hole and then each one of these ends has a dedicated pocket here somewhere, there’s one make sure it seats right in the bottom of the pocket there. So it doesn’t put any stress on it.

There’s two: here’s a close-up of that little cap and it just goes: oh raven again right up there onto that. It’s just a rain cap to keep rain running down this pole and into the interior of the tent. So one thing you really have to remember to do with these tents is before you start putting these lines on and tightening them up make sure everything is zipped up and the reason for that is. If I tension everything up- and this is unzipped, then it’s not going to come together easily and you’re going to put a lot of tension on it.

When you try and zip it up so really important to zip all your zippers up. Okay. So these are the pegs that we used for the perimeter of the floor and now what we’re going to do for all the guidelines around the tent is we’re going to use these heavy duty ones and again, what we’re going to do is we’re going to do opposite sides and ends so uh. It doesn’t really matter too much where I start, but I like to start somewhere sort of the symmetrical.

So I can start on the sides or front and back, but I’m going to do one side and then I’m going to do the opposite side, just to keep the tension on the whole thing as even as possible and keep the pole uh as level as possible pulling the center. Don’t have to worry too much about the tension at this point because I can tension it. Each one of these guide wires has its own tensioner on it. It’s a little cam, I’m just going in enough to show the demo here, but typically you’d want to get these as far into the ground, as you could so you’ll notice on the front one.

It has a much heavier duty rope, and that is because this will have by far the most tension on it. If the wind comes up, especially if it comes the wind comes towards the door of the tent, because it’s flat, so it’s not as aerodynamic. So it’s really important that you find a good place to hammer in your steak. If you’ve got an extra steak or pig, you can always add one here. You want to make sure you get in the ground as far as you can.

Okay, the final step is these anchor points right here and what this does is. It keeps uh basically a rain canopy over the zipper here, and it also helps tension, the walls a little bit better and they go in the same peg as the anchor below them. So it says the last step I do is I just run around the tent and throw those over top of the pegs like so I’ll go around the tent, and then it’s done so you can see. Setting this up is really easy, uh very little to figure out on it.

Everything just kind of goes where it looks like it’s supposed to go and uh didn’t. Take me long, even though there was filming going on- and I was doing it by myself so yeah, I’m gonna show you how to uh fold this up really nicely now uh. I won’t bother showing you how to take it down because it’s exactly the same as putting it up just in the opposite direction, but uh we’ve figured out how to sort of fold it up really nicely so that it fits in the bag.

It came in the duffel bag and there’s actually some spare room by the time. You’re done so once I get this sort of leveled out I’ll show you what we do. I just saw a bird light in that tree right up there and it’s not saying anything, but I bet you it’s a gray j, just gonna grab the other camera and get a picture of it for you guys. Well, it was definitely a gray j, not sure I got a very good picture of it, but uh. If I did I’ll throw it in the video there.

It’s destiny, jj’s, very curious birds. Okay, I’m gonna get mrs catnip to help us, so the tree is doing the filming now, hopefully, that’s all gonna be in frame, oh yeah, so the first thing I like to do is zip the door back up on it. So I’m gonna do that and then the other thing we do usually is we throw these guidelines into the center too? We don’t bother uh tying them up or anything. They came all folded up nicely stowed and whatnot when uh when we got the tent, it was a really nice attention to detail, but it’s not really necessary.

It’s kind of it takes up more time. I’m just going to take this door just toss it into the center roughly and throw all the guidelines in, and I like to pull it back out into it. That’s so slippery on that snow make it center again. So the next thing we’re going to do here is paying attention to where the door is. We always want to remember where the door is so that when we uh set it up again, we can orient it in the right direction without having to swing it all around and we’re just going to take the door side and we’re going to go almost to the middle.

So one of these anchors here is the center, which one is it. Is it this one and this one I think so right this one, and that one does that look right, yeah, that’s right! So I go by the anchors on the very left and right side of the tent and we’re gonna bring in the front of the tent just about to those two anchors, the line drawn between those two side anchors a little further on that one. I think right, there’s the center there so just bringing this in line with those two side anchors not quite to the to it, because we want some room for folding too and then we’ll do the same with the back again.

We just don’t want them quite touching. Just so there’s room to fold them. That’s just a little bit, that’s good there! You can see the I don’t know if you can see it on the camera. There’s a seam going all the way through here between the two side acres, so that’s kind of what we’re aiming for there. Okay yeah! Then the next step is we’re going to fold this in half and that in half same direction it’s a little stiff in the cold.

Usually it just flops right over in the summer, but gotta work with stiff rubber here, it’s good. It really doesn’t have to be super perfect, because there is a lot of room in that duffel bag, really nice of the manufacturer to give us a slightly oversized duffel bag. I like to go just not quite touching so there’s room to fold them over again, okay and then it doesn’t matter which side goes over and one of them goes on top of the other.

Oh yeah slippery huh, it’s very slippery all right again, okay, so the next job is and doesn’t matter which end you go from just uh tightly roll it. So it’s a standard circle, and actually you know what I like to do I like to pick the end: that’s the widest and start there. It’s probably that end hey, so it kind of gets wider as you go so just like. So so we know that uh, this end here is still the door end, so we want to kind of keep track of that on the duffel bag.

What I do is I put the door in uh the door side into the duffel bag, where the zipper ends up when it’s closed, and that way I know when I unzip it. This part is the door and I actually put our accessories in that end too, and it just is a little bit more of a marker that the doors on that end a little bit bigger today, because it’s a cold day. I think it’s got it. So we have all this room on the front here and we’ll just put the accessories in there.

There we go. Oh we got to put the pegs in. That’s it thanks everybody uh. We really appreciate you watching these and uh.

Hey guys today we were checking out. The thing is awesome and it’s perfect. For a long weekend of camping with family and friends, the Space Camp comes in both a 4 and a 6 person model. I’ve got the 4 person model set up right here, so the four person model has 60 square feet of living space and a peak height of 68 inches. But the really cool thing here is there’s just as much Headroom in the corners to the Space. Camp also has two massive doors and two huge vestibule, so it makes it really easy for everyone to get in and out both festivals create a fully weatherproof entrance.

So you’ve got space where you take your shoes off or store a ton of gear. The Space Camp also has Eureka’s hi-low vent air exchange system. More air flow means everybody on the inside stays comfortable longer, no matter what the weather’s doing on the outside. So the frame itself is based on what they call a modified dome design, but a totally maximizes the livable space in here by using nearly vertical pole sections in the corners pre angled sections at the eaves, and these awesome brow poles over the front and rear doors.

That means everybody has plenty of space to hang out, even if you’re stuck at the side of the tent. It’s also compatible with Eureka’s camp comfort system, which is great when you’re sharing the tent with a bunch of people, because you’re not gonna slide around all night and roll off your mat. The Space Camp also has a lot of storage pockets, so nobody gets left out. There are also two gear, lofts and loops for lighting or hanging gear. Overall, the Space Camp is an incredibly roomy and livable tent.

That’s perfect for spending a lot of time with your favorite people and pets, outdoors video shopping network and Amazon affiliate to see this product on Amazon click.

New Eureka desert canyon, tent this tent comes in both a 4 and a 6 person model, and it’s perfect for backyards, family, campgrounds and festivals. It’s sure to deliver an awesome camping experience for years to come. First, we’re gonna talk tent design for a second. The desert canyon is a cabin style tent, which provides the most space and easiest setup of any type of tent out there.

These things feature super steep walls. They give them 25 percent, more interior and living space than other cabin style, tents out there and the desert canyon 6. That we’ve got right back here, measures 10 by 10 feet and has a center height of 7 foot 2, which means even adults, can stand up in there. No problem now, even though it’s designed for family camping trips, it’s still built to last with a steel frame and a fiberglass roof.

It’s built to be super durable and stand up to years of abuse from wind, rain and family camping trips. Now it’s also got extended Eve coverage, which you can see right behind me, and that means it’s ready for the rain and you get a completely dry. Entryway into the tent, those extended eaves also provide great airflow over the top of the tent in the middle of the summer.

Now, what’s really cool about the desert? Canyon is the shelter pitch option, and that means you can pitch just the fly and the frame to create a giant shade structure, so you can use it for summer picnics or just to get a break from the Sun when you’re tailgating it’s incredibly easy to set up, especially if you start it upside down like this now beyond the design of the tent.

The desert canyon has some really cool features like this movable gear. Caddy. This thing is awesome for storing all your essentials, keeping things you need close at hand in the middle of the night, and it’s really easy to transport stuff to and from the car. Now. This thing is also great because it’s moveable, so you can move it around depending upon how many people are using the tent at one time like, for instance, we have a tent set up for four people and a dog right now, but obviously it’s the six and you can move it around to paint a pond where your pads and bags are.

The windows of the desert. Canyon are also cool because they roll up, so you can roll them down like we have them now during the day. And then, if you want some privacy, they just tack up really easily like that. It’s also compatible with Eureka’s camp comfort system, which is a genius way of making sure you stay, put and get a great night’s sleep, Eureka’s sleeping bags and pads use the stealth grip fabric, which creates basically a no slip connection between you and what you’re sleeping on.

So you don’t move around. You can also drop in a camp comfort tent floor, which we’ve got here, which means your pad won’t move around on the floor, and then you and your sleeping bag won’t move around on the pad. It’s brilliant. So, thanks to its cabin style, design and cool features like shelter pitch. The desert canyon is absolutely perfect for backyards, festivals and family camping trips.

The Eureka sunrise ex4 is designed to become your home away from home with a lot of camp friendly features and comfort and conveniences. This tent is great for families of four or fewer. Let’s take a look at its features. The overall construction of this tent is a 63d polyester material and it is heavily coated with a waterproof finish to give it that waterproof performance, the mesh panels on the tent or a 40d no-see-um mesh, so again for breathability keeping those pesky insects out.

You’ve got a really reliable, 40d mesh for that the rain fly or the awning that we have here is also that 63d polyester material and it is again waterproof coated the seams are taped, so it is going to give waterproof protection through a light rain. Now, obviously, that is not a full coverage. Rain fly, so it’s not going to hold up to the strongest of storms, but for light precipitation it will certainly do the trick and the body of the tent is waterproof as well to enhance that storm protection.

The construction of the tent we’ve got windows throughout, so you’ve got only one door, but there are multiple windows, one on each side and that’s going to give you a 360 degree view of your campsite. You can zip up those walls of the windows to really hold in all that heat and privacy, or you can zip them down for some extra airflow and ventilation.

The ceiling of this tent is a fully mesh ceiling. So under this awning here it is a full mesh construction. So you’ve got a lot of airflow there as well, so again helps reduce that condensation and keep you comfortable inside the tent. The poles that are used to construct this tent are 11, millimeter, fiberglass, poles.

So again, not the lightest weight poles on the market, but they certainly help to reduce the cost of the tent and make it a really great value on the inside. The dimensions are about 8 and 1/2 feet by about seven and a half feet, so you’ve got really sprawling area on the inside, and the peak height is about 5 feet, so you’ve definitely got enough Haight there to stay comfortable in the tent.

Some additional features we have on the tent include an e power port on the outside, so for those campgrounds or campsites that allow you to have electric you’ve got a zippered slot on the outside of the tent. That will allow you to route a extension cord or a power cord through, so you can have some electronics inside the tent.

We also have the e illuminate system with this. Tent Eureka includes a reflective two reflective panels. I’m, sorry that you can hang in the tent to provide an ambient light when you’re using your lantern or a headlamp inside the tent, really helps to bring a lot of light to the floor and enhance the overall feeling inside the tent.

There are multiple hang loops on the inside the tent as well, and there is an included gear loft. So you can choose to use that or not depending on your preference, but it does come included with the tent. We’ve also got a few storage pockets on the inside of the tent for keeping those additional items handy when you’re hanging out inside.

So there you have it. It’s the Eureka sunrise ex4, a lot of camp friendly and family friendly features at a really affordable price. Make this tent a great recreational camping value. You.
