Backwoods Bungalow Ultralight Bushcraft Shelter 2.0

Great tent. Easy to set up

SHORT VERSION: Good 4 season tent, great ventilation, top seams at the front had leaking problems but the rest held up very well. Good structure, nice view from inside the tent, included cords work, but a little too short. Needs to be waterproofed with spray for better reliability. Handled strong winds, heavy snow, and 2 consecutive days of heavy rain. Easy to pack back into the original bag, no struggling. Tent pegs were very low quality, I recommend buying some cheap steel ones to replace these. Tent itself was a 4/5, would highly recommend for solo use. I am from Ontario, always go camping in Algonquin national park. I went for 4 days, 3 nights and 2 of these days it was raining non-stop. Set up the tent real easy and the flap was very nice for summer camping. Biggest complain was the tent pegs, they were very low quality and I had 3 break when I tried to hammer them down into the ground. You will definitely need to pick up some other steel ones. Sprayed the tent down with some water-proofing spray. Structure of the tent is very nice. I recommend you use trekking poles for the flap, I personally cut some branches to size and hammered them down into the dirt and just tied the ends to those but it was unnecessary work, especially if you are using this for backpacking. Also don't set it up horizontal like I did in the pic, have it off on an angle so that any rain doesn't build up in the middle and it can just drain to the side. Anyways, the tent had 2 leaks near the seams in the top corner where water would drip through. This was the only problem in terms of water leakage because the rest of the tent really held up very well. However to be fair, it rained very heavily and I woke up to very small puddles (for reference, the water gathering was about the size of a standard plastic waterbottle). No moisture seeped through the bottom or the sides, and the tent has excellent ventilation from the front, and the bottom part of the back. I also used this tent for some winter "camping" in my backyard since I ordered this in December, and it handled very nice and held in the heat without condensation. Overall I am very happy with this product. Not cheap, but not expensive. A very fair price. I really loved the aesthetic of it as well. Just need to patch up the 2 front corner seams a little better, however with the price of 150 you would expect them to come ready to go. Pick yourself up some cheap waterseal spray bottles, I got mine for 5 bucks each and only had to use half of 1 can to cover the whole tent. You will definitely need better tent pegs, get some cheap steel ones. This tent would be excellent in places where it doesn't snow or rain often. Definitely a 4 season tent. 4/5

This tent met expectations for quality, overall weight, ease of set up and to be honest its just a cool tent. I set the tent up in the yard to test the ease of set up and if there were any tweaks I would need before heading into the back country with it. My only gripe about the set up is that it seems to be short 2 stakes. Mine came with 12 but I needed 14. Otherwise it was pretty simple it just takes a little time (about 10-15) especially if you're using sticks for the awning because you have to find them and tweak them to fit. It's spacious for one plus a dog and a little tight but doable for two. I would recommend setting it up and test fitting if you plan on camping with someone else in the tent with you. The zippers were quality and the material as well. Held up to wind very well without having to adjust at all even with the awning up. Looking forward to back country to really put this to the test. I will update once I do.

Used on a cross country motorcycle adventure, riding and camping my way along. This tent was great. Set up takes a bit longer than your typical dome tent but this packs down to a much smaller package, I used collapsible trecking poles and the whole set up fit in my side bags without issue and room to spare. Great room for 1 plus your gear. If you can setup using surrounding trees to tie off to that would greatly improve things,using poles kind of sucks becuasue you can inadvertently knock the poles out of place and collapse one side. I highly recommend you spray it down with sealant and rain proof it prior to using. This survived 2 very large storms and only had one leak right at the center of the peak. I have since sprayed it down and of course it hasn't rained on it since. Well worth it great little tent (I also us it for backwoods camping) but I am still searching for the ulimate motorcycle camping tent.

This tent has been on about six Jeep camping trips in a couple months and it’s rained on four of them. The tent handled the rain very well so far. It’s also pretty quick to set up once you learn the process. One person has plenty of space inside. The bag is oversized so pack up is smooth. Once packed, it’s pretty compact so storage is easy. Not giving five stars because there are no poles included and the provided stakes are weak. Without poles you are limited to only tying off on trees or vehicles or something else. This tent also uses a lot of tie down lines so the poor quality stakes directly impact the tent structure. After adding some poles, stronger stakes, and some better rope, this tent is great for simple camping.
