My fiance and I spend a lot of time camping. Not sure what season our tents were but, we had to get 4 of them. We have never been able to sleep in it and makes a poor storage room.
The question I put to you are you making this material out of pewter or real metal. What more descriptions do you need, my finger went on handle pulled it down it broke. Is that simple enough for you for a description. ozark trail tumbler The people who make your zippers should quit and get another profession. Your zippers are the worst in all camping gears I have bought. In the heart of the Ozarks’ wilderness, a passion for exploration was kindled.
I decided that for the $40 I spent on it, (knowing that you get what you pay for) I would sew the gap and seal it really well and get a thicker gage replacement pole for the fly. I just bought the 9’x7′ backpacking tent 2 days ago, because I want to do some bikepacking here in FL. It is easy to set up and take down, and I loved the fact that it has three windows for lots of circulation in the heat and humidity. I’m going to Coleman for now on because you are incapable of making a zipper that doesn’t break so damn easy on the door.
It is made of nylon and nylon does not keep water out. It is simply a way to keep you from direct weather contact. And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee. That’s why you buy a tarp to put over and a tarp for under.
I must say that nothing is waterproof, water resistant is a better term. I have found that the seams of the tent do drip a little when it rains (after all machines put tiny holes in things when they are sewn together) it is nothing that cannot be fixed with a little time and patience. I bought a $3 bottle of seam sealer followed the directions and have not had a single issue with water since. We, like some others, know that tents are NOT waterproof, so we sprayed the seams etc. with water replant.
An ideal tent for a family—plenty of set-up room and one tough tent. Choose your vessel and dive into the crystal-clear Missouri waters for the aquatic adventure of a lifetime. From tranquil river tubes to spacious rafts and sleek kayaks, your perfect river journey awaits.
I would like a response to this please and I do expect some compensation of some kind! Every time we put some faith in these tents we got let down. I called North Pole (the makers of Ozark Trail tents) not to get much help! Rather than continuing to wait for the company to come up with a soulution and stop questioning me on proper use or abusive weather conditions!
Otherwise I like the tent but do not trust it to hold up in severe conditions. We explore the lightweight beach canopy that’s powered by the wind to see if its worth its hefty price tag. My family and I have used it a total of 3 times and the seams have ripped. There is no way we can camp with this tent, if it would rain it would ruin everything. Every single one of our camping experiences has been ruined because of the OZARK tent.
This Ozark Trail tent is, sorry to say this, a POS. The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent. The short pole supplied for that protrusion splintered in two places and poked about four small holes in the black fabric of the laundry bubble. Better instructions on how it should be installed would have prevented the splintering, but I would rather have seen the “laundry room” not be an outside protrusion from the back of the tent. Rather it should have been a large pocket on the inside of the tent that requires no pole at all. The Ozark Trail tent I purchased is model HKD 08055R.
