How To Choose A Tent For MotoCamping

Really good overview of tents Ben! I'm a long time user of a Black Diamond Firstlight. 4 season, 2 man, single wall, freestanding. For me here in Alaska, it's been a great choice. Super light, packs small, fast to pitch, and bombproof in the event of high winds. However, as I age, I really tire of crawling in and out of the small door entrance in the end of the tent. After we relocate to NC next year, I foresee paying you guys a visit to look at a side entrance style tent, and maybe go double wall, as condensation will probably be more of an issue down there than it is here.

Great video! At 6'3 and 250lbs a 1p tent has me touching both sides, this usually makes things get wet from condensation so just doesn't work for me unless it's not calling for rain. A 3p is also higher and may give enough room to sit in a chair depending on the tent and chair but in the rain this is a huge advantage

Outstanding descriptions to the point easy to use recommendations

Great information. But I think pack size is a consideration for the majority of riders. It would had been nice to see a couple different options in your hand. When you made the sleeping bag video, and lined them all up, that made my choice simple. Tent and sleep pad hasn’t been as easy.

Great videos, but please fix your bad audio and get a proper microphone.

Hi Ben. What was the tent near the end of the video that looked like it had a gear tub thing in the vestibule? Thanks!

I used to have a 2 person and moved up to a 3 person and I camp solo.

How to a chose a tent for motocamping ???? I ask Duke @mayo_moto: he’s tried them all !!! 😆😉

I switch between tents, when I’m staying in one place as a base camp I have a large tent. When I am touring on the road I take my small two man tent, trying to pack light.

I've been looking at a large canvas tent for some motorcycle glamping. It's going to take up a good bit on the back of a big adv bike. Has anyone tried this before or am I being silly?

👏 super-helpful explanations, not a wasted word.
Thank you so much for this video.

I have 2 complete opposites - a Coleman Sundome 2P, and a Lone Rider Moto Tent. The Coleman packs up nice and small, the Moto has an awesome stand up vestibule but is a PITA to set up and pack size is 24x10. I’d like to find something in between - at least the uniform 5x7 floor plan of the cheapo Coleman (room for stuff inside the tent), but a full rainfly dome style with some kind of vestibule. The ADV tent is a possibility but the floor plan is smaller than the Coleman.

Hammock is the way to go.

Very good job, very informative. I learned a few things

Thank you Ben for this very detailed Content, Love the stand up tents.

You probably wouldn't remember me but I met you and your wife at the soac palmetto rally hosted by Cheyenne. I just bought my first product from you this morning big agnus boundary deluxe 30x78 using the dork in the road discount lol. Look forward to getting more and supporting you guys

I love my copper spur ul3 bikepack that you sold me. I seriously couldn’t be happier with it in combination with my Big Agnes diamond something or other and zoom pad! It all packs perfect on my little 250 and sleeps great!

Mój przyjacielu, dlaczego nie poruszyłeś kwestii typu namiotu, który można rozbić w deszczu ! To jest priorytet, nie tylko dla mnie.

Sir, your audio is horrible. Your lave mic is on your hat, and should be on your shirt. Not only for it to be closer to your mouth, but your chest ( the bass it needs). Just fyi

What's your favorite style of tent to use for motocamping?
