I've seen a couple other videos talking about how the dark room feature helps keep the tent a little cooler, which is nice. Our Weathermaster tents definitely have a "greenhouse effect" with the rainfly on if we don't keep them in a shaded area.
@CampingGuidance

Hi Christopher! 🥰 Thanks for the input! And yeah I should have probably tested the dark room feature better, but I did find it cooler as well! Most other tents will have that "greenhouse" effect, at least that's what I've noticed too.

Amazing Video. I like the way you reviewed the tent and found that you did hit almost every question that I had. The one question that wasn't answered with your video is: Is this something that I can use in the snow? One suggestion I do have is that I personally believe that the rain test would be more of an accurate simulation if it lasted an hour or two. However, I understand that it can be waste of water to have it running for 2 hours, so it's not a big deal. All in all, great video. :)
@CampingGuidance
@CampingGuidance 11 місяців тому
Hi Steve! Thank you so much for your comment and feedback, I really appreciate it 😊 I'm really glad that you liked this video! And sadly I don't camp anytime out of summer (it's only ever summer where I am), so I couldn't do a snow test, but that's definitely a very valid point! Hmm, I'm not sure if this tent can be used in the snow though. 2 of the walls of this tent are just mesh (which is great for ventilation), but I'm pretty sure it can let in quite a bit of cold. I'd recommend getting a tent with less mesh + a full rainfly (like the REI Base Camp), which would definitely help with the cold. That's more of a 3+ season tent. I think Coleman tents tend to be more of just 3 season tents (not 3+). Also, thank you for the feedback on the rain test! I tried to put it through natural thunderstorms but it was so dry during my testing period, so I opted for a hose test instead, and I didn't wanna waste too much water haha XD But yes! I totally understand that a 1-2 hour rain test would be much better. I'll do my best to try to achieve that for future tents 😊 Hope this helped!

Nice thorough review! I choose this over the Ozark Trail 6 Person Dark Rest because it looks a little better in ventilation and privacy too. The blackout looks better on Ozark Trail Dark Rest, but I don't think that matters too much for me. I think more air flow than blacking out will help with lower temperatures. Which of the two you think has the better balance for staying cool?
@CampingGuidance
@CampingGuidance Рік тому
Hey Kevin! Thanks for letting me know which one you decided to go for! 😊 Hmm, if there's not too much of a price difference, I'd go with this Coleman Dark Room. It has much better rain protection than the Ozark Trail, and the quality tends to be better. I think perhaps you're right, the Coleman looks better for privacy, and I think ventilation for the 2 might be about the same? I don't have the Ozark though, so I'm basing all this on the looks of it hahaha. I hope this helps! 😊

Great video as all of the ones I have watched that you have done. I'm really thinking of getting a sundome 6 person tent. I'm not sure what model. It seems they all leak. I wonder if sealing the seams would stop all the leaks. That might be an idea for a video. Take some tents that leaked and seal the seams and see if there is enough improvement to make the time spent a good investment.
@CampingGuidance
@CampingGuidance 11 місяців тому
Thanks for the comment and suggestion Mike! 😊 And yes they definitely do work once you seal the seams yourself.

@@CampingGuidance Hi again! I actually bought the 4 person SkyDome dark room today . I broke a tent pole clip within 2 minutes after getting it out of the bag. Those clips are an unbelievably cheap, thin, plastic material. I went ahead and finished setup though in my apartment. I thought it was small for being a 4 person tent overall. Anyway, I took it back to the store and got the same tent in a 6 person version. (Just going to be really careful with the clips now) lol. I love the 6 person one a lot! Super roomy and dark. I bought the fresh and black 3 person last month. That was my first time Camping. It was ok I guess, but I quickly realized I like big tents with tons of room . Next week it's supposed to get cooler. 60s and 40s for lows so I'm anxious to try out with my northface 40s sleeping bag and electric heater. Look forward to seeing your review when you make one.

For two beginner campers, who're desert camping with high winds, would you recommend the Columbia or the Coleman? Does the Columbia seal shut all mesh windows for dust?

But to answer your question, yes, the Columbia does seal shut all the mesh windows, there aren't any mesh panels like the Coleman! 2) As for the Exped, that's how I typically use it too! hahaha I just leave it on the floor and sleep on it, it's comfy enough for me.

Is the Coleman dark room tent hotter? Or is it cooler
@CampingGuidance

Hi Noah, thanks for the question! To me, it definitely felt cooler in the tent compared to my other Coleman tents without the dark room feature. Sadly I didn't think about buying a heat gun to test it though. Hope this helps though 😊

@@CampingGuidance so basically this tent would be good for the hot summer days? Lol

@@Noah-ou9um Hey Noah thanks for the reply! Hmm I think it's great for blocking out light and allowed me to sleep in way past sunrise compared to other tents 😊 And yes honestly during my hot summer days, this tent felt cooler than my Coleman Sundome without the black out tech. But I know of others who have said that it's sweltering inside their blackout tents. That wasn't my experience though 😊

For God's sake! Shipping to Brazil is very expensive.

Hi Macêdo, thanks for the comment! And yeah sadly I have the same problems as well when shipping to Asia. I typically don't use Amazon's own shipping, if I need to, I use a shipping forwarder to forward my parcels from the US to my hometown.

@Moonlight Thank you so much! 😊 And yup I've moved away from the mask for all my recent videos haha. But just to clarify I used to only wear it because I was camera-shy. Left a note at the beginning of each video to let others know. I hope this clarifies! 😊

Really stop saying the name of the item 15 times. We know what you are talking about! Otherwise very informative.

Thanks for the feedback David! I’m glad you liked the info anyway 😊 sorry about that though, I have a little bit of a background in blogging and that’s what we were taught to do previously, to repeat the name enough times that google knows what your article is about 🤣🤣🤣 so I made my UKposts videos following my blog posts. But I think I’ve slowly stopped saying the name too many times! Think the biggest improvements were in my latest videos 😁
