It’s good to see a well made tent made from good quality materials and to know it’s out there for who needs it, like military, or people who can afford it. I was excited to see the company listened and shared the tent for testing. I was disappointed in the fact that there was no test with a good long hard rain, but Luke said he didn’t have the room in his yard to set it up to dry out. For the price of the tent, I’m sure it would test well in no leakage and good sturdy through hard winds. It was very nice to see the niceness of this tent, and also could be used as a hot tent. Thanks for sharing!

It is lighter than the Russian Bear tent hexagon. Russian Bear sets up in 5 minutes like a ice fishing shelter. Plus it is double wall design and of course camouflage. It is just a bit bigger and much lesser in cost. The floor is removable all zippered in. You can get a insulated floor and one section pops up to another room or porch area. They have a accessory wall kit, I forget what they call it. I think that it is about 115 to 130 pounds. Ha, so definitely a car camping tent.

@Paul-VanHorn Рік тому

@@craig7333 It is heavy as there is a center adjustable pole to add to the center in case of heavy snowfall. You can add clear windows that velcro into place on the outside for winter. Summer the windows have 3 layers the outside closure, then a screen and then the inner liner. This being a double wall tent. A lot more going on. Plus the stakes and 2 fiberglass poles to open one wall completely open and those poles go on the end to hold up the wall that becomes a roof basically. It is a decent tent considering how much this other military one costs. I thought that this one was expensive. Ha. It does come with a stove jack as well. And they do have smaller models. There are only a few videos on UKposts of the Hexagon Model. Anyway, good luck!

This tent LOL I used one of these for a summer and eventually sold it on Craigslist. We use to travel and tent camp mostly weekend type trips but some week long trips. This tent was cool at first, but after setting it up after around the fourth time it was like this sucks. Literally 90% of everywhere we camped people would ask about what tent it was and where did we purchase it. When we would tell them the price they looked at us like we had a 3rd eyeball LOL This is a lot of tent, we glamped a lot and it was super nice but this thing was heavy and you could literally beat someone with the metal poles 😂 It took us 2 months to resell it and I have no regrets, it was fun to have for a summer. But when we out this in the back of my jeep or truck of the car it was like throwing a body in the trunk haha. And the tent stakes on this tent are like something you’d see out of a vampire movie! All in all it would be a real good few weeks in one spot type of tent. But the price is absolutely to high. Is it a quality tent yes, but there’s tents that are just as good for a quarter the price. Looking back through my pictures using it, man it was cool looking!

@johnfreedom2738 Рік тому

Excellent presentation, straightforward & simple. I served 26 years in Regular Army from private in Parachute Infantry to Field Grade Officer at Corps Level as General Staff Officer. Your presentation brought back many remembrances of movement from cantonment to field conditions and attempting to expeditiously establish an effective operations flow. Frankly, in many cases, perhaps most, by the time operations were tented and personnel undercover, it was time to tear down, pack and move to an advanced or retrograde position, to once again expeditiously establish the operations flow. What I have seen in your demonstration, of this new technology fields housing equipment is the dramatic number of hours that can better channeled into Combat Operations. You get the point. Thank you 🇺🇸

It reminds me of one of my old tents. It was about the same size but only a three season. I used it for family outings. With four kids under ten years old, it worked great. It only took me about thirty minutes to set it up myself and, the people that saw it were always impressed by the size and how comfortable we made it. If I could afford this tent I would definitely get it and show it off.

@thereindeertherabbitthebat592 Рік тому

Exterior pockets for the guy lines is a feature that more tents should have, no doubt. So many times I wish I had those. Tangled lines are a PAIN! Awesome stuff. Last year I bought the Cabela's outback lodge. I love the tent but I was hoping for an easier set up bc it doesn't really have any traditional tent poles or pole sleeves. Unfortunately, the set up is just as painful, if not more, only in a different way. The big center pole & 4 tiny corner poles are no problem. It's the stakes that make set up a freakin B of a chore, there's like 28 of them! And they all have to be super thick stakes, driven deeply into the ground to properly work. Which of course limits you to specific locations as to where you can camp. Stretching out the guy lines adds an extra 5-6 feet to the overall footprint of the tent. It's already big enough, but you need so much extra area around the tent to run the lines out. Staking them in is an "up & down, up & down", monotonous nightmare... All the bending over, kneeling & standing back up just kills my legs. I have bad peripheral neuropathy so it ain't easy or fun. I pay for it for DAYS with sore, throbbing muscles throughout my legs. I can hardly walk for the next 2-3 days at the least. I still love the tent, it's just that set up & take down is terrible. I have the Cabela's Getaway 6 person dome & it's MUCH easier, but it doesn't hold heat as well & is much more susceptible to the wind. Although running the lines out on that tent is a piece of cake compared to the Lodge. Most the time the lines aren't even needed on the Getaway, but with the Lodge, it's absolutely necessarily to pitch the tent. The Outback Lodge is still solid as a rock though, esp in the wind & other harsh conditions (& with all those stakes, it should be.) It can take a beating (& give one) for sure. Great video & very cool tent. Thanks for sharing it.

I think the floor should be zipper attached for better water and bug protection. It should come part way up the side walks bathtub style and then zip all the way around starting/stopping on the stove jack side. This would help keep water out if it pools under the tent for some reason or flows past/under it and it will also better keep bugs out because we all know if there is an opening they will find it and crawl through it to get in.

Having been one of the people actually using military tentage, I find this piece of kit impressive. Sure, it's a bit of a struggle setting up, but the bain of all soldiers is the end of op/trg teardown and move. What I would like to see is a video of a teardown stow away back in the bag after a week of use and weathering. I suspect it is like trying to stuff fifty pounds of live squid in a twenty pound bag. I am almost sure the actual stow away is just rolling everything in a big ball, wrapping it with twine and sorting it out at home, or worse, the next harbour.

It sounds like the LiteFighter Dragoon Tent would be great for something like a quick FOB deployment, with a base structure. Thus, the HVAC ports and space.

Unless there are ways to break the components into different transport packs, each person carrying a section.

It’s impressive. I do a lot of camping but I’m 5’2 140lbs and prefer an instant tent that I can put my queen size air mattress in and on those rainy or snow days I also have portable folding tables that fits perfect inside. I usually have a big tarp that they tent sits on and I can pull over the top for additional overlapping the tent just in case I want to cook outside.

The dragon tent to seems to be very impressive well-made plenty of room awesome tent thanks for the video.

I would love to see an adventure with it.

Seems like an awesome tent with a lot of modular options for a temporary setup. It's big and expensive because of it. You have a lot of ways to run water and air into and out of it, cook in it, small operations and so on. I honestly would want to try living in it for a year just to stress test the hell out of it because I doubt it's going to last 3 months of casual use before something goes wrong.

Awesome review Luke. I just want to say that it takes a big man to admit that he was wrong. Thank you 😊 for your honesty and for sharing these reviews. You are our go-to guy for everything camping 🏕 thanks again, Luke. 😊 KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗 HUGS 🤗

It’s an Alaskan Guide Tent for the military. Great design. I love mine!

Fantastic tent ⛺️. Reminds me of the Eureka Equinox 8-10 person tent (which is a breeze to setup, 4-season tent and great in top winds).

@JudyNunyabiz-uc2qq 4 місяці тому

Omg…the perfect tent, this is such a tease video lol. Wish I would have had this back in 2021.

@BlesamaSoul Рік тому

Looks like a great military tent, engineered to last and face the weather. Lightfighter offering it to the civvy market, most users will be commercial as joe public will not have much use for it on size and cost factors. I like it, we could afford it, but it does not fit into our bug out plan! Well done for securing a review of the tent Luke, as ever you bring the gear to the channel we get to see it, hear your honest comments and decide if it is for us or not.

This tent is insane (in a good way) if money was unlimited, I'd certainly consider it but unfortunately I don't have the coin. Such a kool setting up video, Luke. ❤️

Great detail thanks As usual good job

@markmarkell5744 Рік тому

My uncle, a deep Appalachian resident, slept camped out as long as you been born has never bought a tent.

@user-mh6yj9dd4y Місяць тому

I got a GP medium I brought back from desert Storm I love it

@tinbarnranch Рік тому

Very similar design to the Cabela's Alaskan Guide geodesic tents. Very, very strong. I'm very impressed with mine.

that is an incredible piece of equipment

@anthonywillis6332 Рік тому

Looks like a great tent! Glad I don’t have to take it down and repack to send it back!

@niklashall5969 Рік тому

That tent is AMAZING

@TheDigitaldelimma Рік тому

Cool vid and cool tent. Out of my budget but way cool! Neat watching your vids just to get to experience these kind of tents.

@pcho8022 Рік тому

I have the Crua Tri, that thing is about 55lbs, and for 3 ppl only and takes me and my buddy about 40 min to set up. I hear you when you say this military tent is hard to wrestle. Also not the easiest to put back into the original bag. Would love it if you can get your hands on the crua tri and review it for us.

@LtBRS Рік тому

It's gorgeous!

@MrWATM Рік тому

My camping buddies were military gear designers for MSR and about 10 years ago we tested a tent that attached to the back of a Stryker vehicle that they charged $10,000 for. Not sure if it ever went into production, but that's the most expensive tent I've ever been in.

@bfed2831 Рік тому

wow what a great tent-incredible!

@kookiemoose Рік тому

My first AT thru hike my pack weighed 70lbs (normal for that time). So I could’ve cared that tent, 5 days of food, and a sleeping bag 😂

@tonigrandon8695 Рік тому

Holy cow wow awesome and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for your sharing this awesome tent wow huge :-) but beautiful 🥰.

If only we could afford something like this... Definitely enjoyed the video... Cheers!

Speaking of massive... I've recently started messing with canvas tents. I acquired a Kodiak Canvas Flexbow tent and I must say, I'm really loving it. It's a car-camp-only type of thing for sure, no one I know is going to ruck this thing into the woods. Would love to see you mess around with and share your experiences in this realm.... Kodiak Canvas, White Duck, Teton Sports and so on.

@dougwalker4947 Рік тому

Same here. Bought the 10x10 last year and absolutely love it. Granted it doesn't have a stove jack, but a buddy heater works great down to about 25 degrees. In the summer plenty of ventilation and the canvas breathes well. I have never once had any condensation issues.

@nataliesutherland6655 10 місяців тому

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I have the 13 ft Regatta Bell Tent, and canvas is a really undervalued material if you're hauling around 50 or 60 lbs anyway. White Duck has, imo, put out a few very nice products but I haven't heavy rain tested the canvas. I'm really curious to see his thoughts on the newer canvas tents.

@donnydread7631 Рік тому

I recently purchased their 10’x10’ rip stop nylon tarp, and I love it. Great company, great service. Berry Complaint military supplier, so it’s 100% US made.

@markcrowell2727 Рік тому

what a review; it is so great to see you get to do this type of review...call it Luke's Extreme Gear Review. I also loved the really technical way you described the tent stakes - "incredibly macho"...LMAO. The tent looks like the best tent ever made.

@cliffordmarusich4111 Рік тому

While I am not a camper type person I (where is the nearest Best Western??) I really appreciate your presentation. And your honesty, more importantly your honesty. Nicely done. I have a few ex military friends who may be interested in the tent .. so i will pass along.

@jimjolly4560 Рік тому

It's awesome! I have no use for it... but I still want one.

@butchbinion1560 Рік тому

@ryanwestall8761 Рік тому

It’s an awesome tent, would love to have one but way out of my budget. Hope to see you putting it through the paces.

@fuzzywuzzy410 19 днів тому

@stevemick6569 Рік тому

Much better than the canvas GP tents, perfect for a squad, which is what you’d need to set it up.

@steppy145 Рік тому

looks impressive

@Stupidityindex Рік тому

It is very interesting to see what engineering put into an expedition class. Some of the basic stuff is there, poles, vents, zippers, stakes, cords. Try getting an AC mechanic to service the unit at your tent.
