1st night in the Onetigris Northgaze

Hello Everyone and Welcome!

In this video, I head out to find a nice spot to set up my Onetigris Northgaze tent for the night. I brought along a few cans of Canvas waterproofing spray. They say it is waterproof when I bought it but I would like to give it some extra coating.

I get the tent set up and decide to test out the awning so I find a couple poles and open her up. I put in my cot, air mat and sleeping bag then set up the wood stove. After I get the outside campfire ready to light I prepare to cook dinner on the wood stove. It's a great night to be out in the woods. With the awning up I can cook on the stove and still watch the campfire.

Before bed I close down the awning, zip the doors shut and settle in for a warm and cozy night. I think i will really like this new tent.

Please, join me on this adventure.

Thanks for Watching!

I have this tent. I put it up in my drive and ran the hose over it to test it before I took it camping and there was no need to waterproof it. It's been great in several rainstorms and strong winds too. I love it!

The awning is a great feature and even better that it's adjustable

You seem like a character! In any case, found this video helpful. Thank you.

I own this very tent!
I also bought the inner mesh for mine.
For the price of both?
You simply cannot go wrong!
If you seal this tent properly....
You will have a lifetime of use!
This tent is well worth the money.
I highly recommend!

Awesome tent and stove set up. I think it will serve you well. Your so lucky to have such a nice place to camp plus being able to drive up in your car and canoe is a bonus. Enjoy your rig

Ahhh great video! Quite a bit of space in there. I like that you can stand up at least. Haha I can’t believe they put the flap roll at the bottom! So weird! Looking forward to your winter excursions to see how you like this. Enjoy!!

I'm curious how long a lot of these cots for camping will last for? When you go buy one, you need them because waking up with no cot your back hurts. But if you get one you want to know it will last. Curious on thoughts from people about this.

Another thing I hope you might cover is how to do like distilling water with homemade kit etc? This could be either for camping or for at home. And part of the reasoning for this is that the water systems seem to be getting either sabotaged or messed up all over the place in the US and Canada right now. Whole areas multiple states, and counties, have contaminated water.

I'm curious if vegetable oil spray could be used as a moisture sealer? Its somewhat close to this chemically. It might not look beautiful but I'm thinking it could work. But would like to hear some other thoughts on this? Back in the day they used oils from animal fats. But maybe some kinds of vegetable oil may also work similar?

It would be fun to also just banter with you on all kinds of gear questions and things to in the future. I'm sure things will come up. And many people are becoming more interested in this kind of stuff now especially because the economy is going down. So they are forced to look into new ways of living.

I'm curious how much wind the middle tent pole can take? Some of us live in windy areas. But as a fix if you had duct tape while camping you could find straight sticks and brace them against the middle pole.

do they have a bigger version of this> the canvas one?

Come to Africa!!! I will show you how to camp with LIONS!!!

Excuse me, sir, didn't anyone ever teach you not to cook in your tent? Those dang Canadian bears aren't hibernated just yet and may be inclined to come over for dinner 😂 looks like a successful first run with the tent. It will be interesting to see how it works with both cots and a stove, though.
