OneTigris Backwoods Bungalow Bushcraft Shelter 2.0, Ultralight Backpacking Tent with with Porch for Camping Hiking Backpacking Motorcycle Kayak Bushcrafters

From the start I was pleased with this shelter. It weighed in at 3 lbs. 2 oz. with tent stakes and cords. That's not at all "ultralight" - my ZPacks Hexamid Twin which is roughly comparable in size weighs just 1 lb. 8 oz. including cords and stakes - but it's plenty light enough for normal backpacking. Everything appears well-made, with a good weight fabric not too heavy but not too thin either. I've been tarp camping since the 70s and generally prefer it to using a tent. I had a Baker-design tent like this in the 90s which I loved. This is a great shelter - you get the best of both worlds, a tent that can be really "buttoned down" when you need it, but with the openness (almost) of a tarp. It's really easy to set up, no fancy poles joined together in strange ways, no threading poles through sleeves - you just need two end poles, either branches or trekking poles work, and lots of stakes! First just stake the rectangular floor down with 4 stakes, easy-peasy. Go from there with more stakes, putting your poles (you supply) at each end. Supplied are 12 good-quality lightweight aluminum triangular stakes - but you really need 13, or even 15 if you use stakes to pull out the back wall and you don't have any trees or branches to tie your cords to. I chose to replace the stakes with shepherd-crook stakes, just a personal preference. You need 4 stakes for the rectangular floor, 2 stakes one for each pole cord at the ends, 3 stakes for the pull-out ventilation flap in the back, 2 stakes for the triangular flaps one on each side in the front, and then 2 stakes for the "porch" flap poles, if you can't tie the porch corners to a tree, 13 total. I will carry 15 with it, just in case I need 2 more stakes for the cords that pull out the back wall. You don't need to pull out the back wall but you'll have more room inside if you do. That's a LOT of stakes - but on the other hand, there is no better feeling on a stormy and windy night than knowing you are in an inherently strong and stable A-frame type tent that is securely battened down, and you can laugh at the storm! Although I would not tempt fate if I were you. I figured I'd have to replace the cord - but I was pleasantly surprised to find I could use what was sent, good quality olive-drab cord with light-reflective specks in it, and with included line-locs that are small, lightweight and work perfectly. The cord I got was in 100" lengths ( 8 1/3 feet) and not 10 feet, but that is good enough, I don't think I'll need longer lengths. I used two trekking pole cups attached at each apex of the tent at the end, with the cord attached to the cups and with the poles adjusted to 130 cm which is my normal length I can just slip my trekking poles right in. When the tent is all buttoned up you have a small vestibule for storage in the front, outside the tent proper but still covered and protected from the rain, 7' x 1.5' for 10.5 square feet. You can adjust the height of the front porch to be low or high. Using no poles at all you can get it down to about 24" in the front which gives you plenty of protection. Protection from insects should be OK with the bug screen that can open completely up via dual zippers with pulls inside and out and be rolled up and secured at the top - but the square holes are about 1/16" in size, a bit bigger than any other bug netting I have on any tent. Overall this is a real bargain. I would buy this again in a heartbeat if I needed to.

Got this small tent for backpacking. Its very well made, and set up is easy. I got some poles for it just incase I could find sticks out in the arizona desert when I would need them. I used this small tent backpacking with my wife and two children. And we all fit, cramped but comfortable. And because I didn't leave the fly up it got incredibly condensated but we survived and I'd still recommend this tent. Just make sure you have air flow. This is exceptionally light weight and worth taking on a backpacking trip.

There's quite a few reviews and information available for this tent already, so I'll take another approach and list the reasons why I will not be buying a second one of these when it comes time to replace it * I'd like something slightly larger. I'm 6' 2", 165 lbs and my head and toes both hit the ends of the tent, causing moisture to wick through and get my sleeping bad damp throughout the night. Fortunately it's not a total deal breaker but this is annoying. There's hardly enough room to sit up to get dressed/undressed without bumping my head on the ceiling with (I always pull out the back of the tent when I pitch it, too) and that dislodges the condensation on the inside of the tent, getting me and my sleeping system a little damp. No good. * The nylon tabs sewn in the top corners of the tent, with metal grommets, while not quite a design failure, are a weak point with repeated, hasty setup. I've re-grommted the one side several times. Less than perfect pitching puts serious strain on the tent fabric, inviting leaks over time. * Right out of the gate, the tent leaked like crazy from the little elastic hanging hook in the center. Going over it with seam sealer seems to have corrected this. It was, admittedly, a very heavy and long drawn out rain. * Zero internal organization/pockets. Probably good since it wicks and condenses so much that anything in the pockets would get destroyed or soaked. Still would like to have well-executed storage inside the tent for stuff So with all this whining, why 4 stars? It's a very cool tent that, when setup in the correct conditions (heavy rain is OK as long as it's not hot out, warmth is OK so long as it's not setup in a low spot in a large grassy area, etc etc) can be a lot of fun and very functional. The awning is something I've decided I can't live without in whatever tent I get next. Setup is "a lot of work" but not hard work in the slightest. So far it's been setup about a dozen times in the 6 months or so I've owned it. Always packs easily back into its bag, even when soaking wet and filthy. I'd like something that's just about the same except slightly taller, slightly longer and has one more screen door. It is at the end of the day a very "fun" single wall tent that can be setup with or without poles in a variety of ways.

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.

Excellent recreation of a compact "Baker Tent" in a lightweight waterproof fabric. The flexibility in set-up is a huge plus. I just returned from a 3-night stay in the Smokies, rain and wind most of the time, and this little gem kept me dry the entire time. You can set it up using your trekking poles on the sides, or a ridgeline with two Prusik loops. I did both and both methods worked great. The entire tent is made of durable fabric, and the screen is well-mounted with nicely functioning zippers. Night one: Cold, still and dry. I zipped the "porch" flap halfway down and guyed it out with two short sticks. Good air flow and zero condensation, but still definitely warmer inside than the outside air. Night two: Cool, still, and raining. Stood the porch up full height and propped a stick in the center, padded with a bandana, to facilitate water runoff. Again, no leaks, zero condensation, and in the morning I had a great relatively dry area to make my coffee and breakfast, put on my boots, etc. outside of the sleeping space. Brilliant. Night three: Cool, very windy, raining. One tiny interior leak where a toggle is stitched under the top seam (the toggle and elastic loop used to hold the screen up when you don't want it closed). That is easily fixed with a spot of seam sealer. All other seams still perfect, and floor still completely dry come morning. When it was time to turn in I zipped the porch all the way down to shut out the wind and blowing rain, knowing that I was asking for condensation buildup. Next morning there was a sheen of condensation on the interior surfaces (remember that this is a single-wall tent), which is exactly what one would expect under these conditions, but nothing serious. Gear within, and myself, barely damp. Another great feature: Since it is a single-wall tent you can lay it out (with the front flap zipped, which is how you should always stow it) in a driving rain, peg out your corners, pop it up with your poles or sticks, and not one drop of rain will be able to find its way into the inside of your tent. Try that with the typical tent+fly combo. All in all it proved to be an excellent shelter. I look forward to many more adventures with this one. The video that led me to this improved (2.0) version of this tent was by Mike on his YouTube channel "Bushcraft Bartons", where he gives an excellent product review. Thanks Mike, and thanks to OneTigris for a really quality product that does the job.

Super light weight and easy setup. Set up takes minutes. Perfect for simple overnight backpacking trips. Comfortable for one person. Two would be a little cramped depending on gear. Front porch works great just cut sticks to size or buy tent poles separately. Waterproof seems okay haven't really spent a night in heavy rain yet tho. Durable material and seems are sealed nicely

Love this tent. Quick and easy to set up and plenty of space (I am 6'3") for myself and my bag. Stakes are high quality and will not bend as they are cast aluminum with a very strong geometry Minimal condensation formation and I have not experienced a single drip. I also love the option to deploy the awning to create shade, block rain or zip it down in case I want to sleep in. The included paracord has reflectors woven to avoid tripping during the night. Would recommend to any hiker / camper / hunter on a budget. Word of warning, if you do not use hiking poles or sticks you leave yourself at risk of water getting into the tent while raining. Without poles or sticks the front opening and the rear vent will lay flat on the ground and rain water can get into the tent. With poles it creates a tub that sits 2" - 3" off the ground, so unless your in a flood you should stay dry.

Perfect for everything from standard camping, to hiking out on a bushcraft adventure. It’s not too heavy to pack out. But gives loads of room. You can fit two normal size people easy. But for total comfort, one persons and “all” your gear. Only think left out side this at night was the fire, lol. And everything stayed dry. Ventilation is good, but in real hot weather, bring a small battery packable fan to just move some air. The big net does hold in a bit of heat. But nothing to bad. It just got to over 90 degrees outside and probably just needed a bit of more moving air anyway.

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.

I believe they say this can be a two person tent however it is perfect for one person and their gear. Love the room and yet the light load to pack. If you are bringing hiking sticks then this tent is perfect. Have not tried in the rain yet but have read and heard good results even in the rain. Love this baker style as so easy to enter and exit the tent and the little canopy nice for some shade.

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

Very Nice tent ! Quality, kinda light and pack small. I LOVE IT

This is a very nice tent. Setup takes a little longer than some tents and may require more stakeout points than some others but it is well worth the little extra setup time imho. It's relatively light, has multiple setup options and packs fairly small. It has ample room for two or is a castle for one. Perfect.
