Thanks for review! I was stuck between the REI and Wawona I did a lot of research before buying and went with The North Face Wawona 6 It's a very tough tent with stronger poles, fully seamed so won't get water inside when ground is fully soaked, way better vestibule, better ventilation when needed, it has more guy lines so can handle higher winds than the REI tents I recommend buying a Wawona 6 footprint when buying The North Face tent

Great Information! Thank you
Comment from : Sid Ney

I'm in the market for a smaller 4p, but this is still Really useful information - thanks
Comment from : bebejs Eskew

After 14 years we are looking to replace our Kelty Green River… we camp for 2-3 months every summer and throughout the year I am hoping I can find something comparable It is still going strong no use some issues with the poles and a few wear and tear holes Trying to decided Marmot Torreya or REI or North face or if Kelty is still the best brand
Comment from : bebejs Eskew

I was really hoping to see inside the tents more but gave plenty of information Thank you
Comment from : Ehawk700

just get the 10x14 Kodiak Canvas and be done with it forever , I got one 10 years ago and it outlasted every other tent I've owned the thing that sold me on it was a video showing it in someones backyard in an EF2 tornado and it didn't budgeI've had ours in many storms and no leaks and very stableplus the cotton cavas breathes so much better than synthetic fabrics and totally waterproofit is heavy and expensive but it's worth the weight and cost
Comment from : Jay Top

In future reviews and in inside dimensions, 9x9 10x10 this would be helpful to me
Comment from : Dale Kallenberger

I think you must mean the sizes are around 100 sq ft instead of 1000 sq ft
Comment from : Ashley Weaver

Thanks for your review, these tents, seem particularly primitive It’s a shame you didn’t include Outwell or Vango They are great tent manufacturers, particularly Outwell
Comment from : Paul Kinrade

Outstanding review! I appreciate it!!!
Comment from : Tami King

Great comparison video I actually have the REI Kingdom 6 which is the previous model before the wonderland kind of one of those situations where there are improvements they could have made to the kingdom line but for some reason chose to rename the tent and makes changes that just absolutely didn't seem necessary One big thing is the previous model of this tent which is pretty much 90 if not 95 the same is they took away the massive front vestibule on this new wonderland That was the best part about the kingdom The wonderland as did the kingdom comes with a mudroom which is a big huge attachment similar to the North face for an extra $100 I think it was also important to remember that with REI tents you can buy the separate ground cloth which perfectly fits the tent and even attaches to the tent spikes You also pointed out that the pockets were high along the sides which is different than the kingdom and I think they did that because they've got those V's in there now Don't know what purpose of serves but I just feel like companies especially REI makes changes to products that are not always great In my opinion as a fan of REI I would not buy that new wonderland tent mainly because of the loss of the massive vestibule which allows you to literally store chairs coolers shoes and so much more right outside the tent door without fear of getting wet or condensation The new wonderland six unlike my kingdom 6 is a no-go for me also you didn't mention it and I'm not sure if it's changed but the kingdom 6 comes with a storage that is pretty great and has backpack strapsbrbrAnd as a side note today July 1st 2023 through July 4th the wonderland 6 teny is on sale for $349 which is a fantastic price if you're not bothered about the vestibule
Comment from : ExposedRoot

I wish we had watched this video earlier, thankfully we bought the right one, so far haha Thank you for the video!
Comment from : reyle

Perhaps you could evaluate Kelty, SpringBar, Big Agnes, and Gazelle?brbrLow end tents are junk I think leaks, crappy zippers, and poor ventilation end up discouraging people from enjoying the camping experiencebrbrBuy good qualitybrbrI love my Big Agnes Copper Spur 2 person tent Great for backpacking and bike packing But I’m looking for a more roomy stand up tentbrbrThanks for the reviews Well done!
Comment from : MsRotorwings

You needed the rainfly on the coleman tent to make it similar to the others
Comment from : BritGuyAbroad

Are you crazy you spent 2200 on tents
Comment from : Jimmy Hendrix

Have you looked into the gazelle tents? They seem to be very popular but i wonder if it's worth the money
Comment from : Nomadik

I’d love to see the Nemo Aurora High rise reviewed I’m between it and the Northface tent you feature here I love your videos and they are making purchasing a replacement tent less intimidating since we are getting something more premium this time around
Comment from : Brooke Schimmel

You didn't show any premium tents
Comment from : La MH

YKK Zipper guy So many other options, curious about your background
Comment from : Will Cameron

I've seen that the Wonderland actually struggles more with rain than the Wawona does, specifically around the side vents / windows, since the rain fly doesn't cover them Also, the pole quality between the Wonderland and the Wawona is apparently an issue The Wonderland footprint and height looks amazing tho, which is making my decision harder with this current REI sale
Comment from : ZombieSalesman

First, thank you for your videos Very informative and helpful I’m sorry if you’ve addressed this already but how about 8-person tents? I’ve got a family of 6 and am looking for a larger, quality tent Any thoughts on the older REI Kingdom 8? There are a few used ones online that I’m considering Thank you in advance
Comment from : Brian Kunihiro

Very well done 👏 thanks
Comment from : BoonDock

This was so great! Would love to see you do something like this that focuses on tall popup tents I’m drawn to the ease of setup but it’s hard to evaluate the sturdiness and waterproofing, plus as you said in this review roundup the setup is often not quite what’s advertised 😂
Comment from : Rachel Gaddis

The Eureka copper canyon tent leaks when heavy rain It actually leaks bad
Comment from : Loren Nestman

Great video! What is your most recent video in the premium-size 6 category? We are taking a month long European camping trip with dog in tow and starlink office as well Suggestions welcomed!
Comment from : Glynn Willett

I have searched the web for a cabin style tent similar to the Coleman style instant tent that doesn’t have the mesh ceiling! Is there any 6-8 person tent on the market that doesn’t have mesh ceilings? I don’t want a canvas tent
Comment from : Allen Staley

Incredible vid valuable knowledge thank you!!
Comment from : MOTHER GOOSE

You should try out the Marmot Limestone 6p We just got it and it is perfection It’s on sale for $370 many places right now I watched a ton of your reviews before choosing it Even though you haven’t tested the Marmot Limestone, your videos were super helpful in helping me know what to look for and figure out what we wanted I’ve been camping for a long time but learned a lot of new things through your channel!
Comment from : Emily J

It is a great deal the wawona 8p?
Comment from : Rodrigo

Thanks!
Comment from : Daniel P Egan

Great video I've found myself binge watching your tent vids Excellent reviews and many thanks! Alps Mountaineering, Camp Creek Two Room 10'x13', that is a tent I would like to find out more about, whether or not it can match up to Eureka's LX Series Keep On Keeping On
Comment from : JM

porch on the northface would be nice for parents to hang out after kids are down
Comment from : EvenSteven

Great range of tents and I enjoyed your reviews of each one I was looking for a better quality tent and was choosing between the Wawona 6 (which looks like a great tent) and the Marmot Torreya 6 I chose the latter but have not tried it out yet as we still have lots of snow in Canada It was also hard to find that particular tent so it might be out of production Again great job (I can't believe you had to purchase all the tents)
Comment from : Arthur Wiens

Where is the big Agnes and the Marmot 6 person tents?

Comment from : gwolfeman

Travel camper converted to tent camper here Thank you for your channel You have been the most informative thus far I’m looking at a LLbean king pine dome tent Any thoughts on those I was looking at buying used on local market place I want to make sure I like this style of camping before spending $300-400 Thanks
Comment from : Brandy Gabriel

Mine has lots of storage and a cover for the top It's as if we have different models
Comment from : Deborah Cargle

Wooow!! You did an amazing video! Thank you for that!!😊
Comment from : betinha murta

I do not like gray colors no gray for me will not buy gray colors tents or cars
Comment from : Teresa Allen

The North face Wywona 6 is just awesome!!!! After years of Coleman I finally took the leap The quality is just amazing
Comment from : Ryan Wehr

Can you(of you haven't already) do a review and testing of the CAMPROS CP 3 Person Tent - Dome Tent on Amazon just because I've found others here on youtube but don't go into great indepth like you do with other tent And thanks in advance
Comment from : Andy C

Great comparisons! Thank you! But I'm curious - what do you with all these tents? Seems like a lot of money to invest in a few videos Is it worth it? Or do you return them or sell them after you've made your videos?
Comment from : Adam Nichols

Have you reviewed them Nemo Wagontop or Big Agnes Big House or Bunk House?brbrI’d be really interested in your take on those!
Comment from : Justin Morgan

Well Done young man, so glad to find you
Comment from : Farmer Brown

What about an insulated tent for colder or winter camping?
Comment from : carl stanoyevic

You should check out the browning big hornamazing tentsister and bro in law have it super high quality, big and easy to setup
Comment from : Robert Ashman

Re: the Eureka, I mean, "was blown away by the wind while staked" would be a very, VERY good reasom to score it dead last
Comment from : Sergio Bahr

For future reviews, you gotta check out Gazelle tents I'll never buy another brand of tent They are the best Thanks for the in depth review That was a lot of work
Comment from : FITZ VENTURE

Just picked up the Wawona for $230 @ Sierra
Comment from : B G

I’m looking for some advice!brI want a tent that’s easy to put up and withstand elements Just camping as a hobby in my 60’s!
Comment from : gvan4436

Great video brUnless the Coleman or core tents start lasting more than a month I would leave them outbrIt because of them that I’m considering the north face tents I live in Hawaii where rain, wind and heat are always available If the base camp had better ventilation I’d already have it brMy friend has the wanona and it is a chore to set up as I’m usually solo (kids aren’t there yet) I’d love to hear of another option brThank you
Comment from : fire808surf

thanks for the video bro
Comment from : Darrell Fort

Love the proprietary algorithm 😆
Comment from : blue_skyy

No Gazelle? That is like testing trucks but not including a Ford in your lineup
Comment from : BigAArmory

I'm in the market for a smaller 4p, but this is still Really useful information - thanks
Comment from : Buttons Angel

Curious about your thoughts on the Nemo Aurora Highrise 6 I would have thought that would have been a contender
Comment from : Katrina Pronath

I forgot we take our 3 dogs with us so we buy a large tent
Comment from : Toby Foreman

Finaaaaaaally!!! After scrolling sooo much time I finally found the perfect video 😭 thank you so much for this
Comment from : Amber Nicole

Hey folks - I've just updated my tent categories to a new and improved scoring system, thanks to some useful feedback from viewers Here's what the updated scores looks like:brbr1 REI Base Camp 6 (757 out of 10)br2 REI Wonderland 6 (721 out of 10)br3 The North Face Wawona 6 (657 out of 10)br4 Eureka Copper Canyon LX 6 (457 out of 10)br5 Coleman Instant Cabin 6 (457 out of 10)br6 Coleman Skydome 6 (379 out of 10)brbrThe new list of categories are as follows:brbr1 Setupbr2 Living Spacebr3 Waterproofingbr4 Wind Resistancebr5 Ventilationbr6 Build Qualitybr7 FeaturesbrbrI think this will result in a more balanced scoring, and this is the scoring method I'll be using going forward Thanks to those who suggested some of these revisions!

Shiftpod makes some cool tents

Try a slingfin tent
Comment from : Shekhar Moona

Great video! Really liked how you described the targeted group of people for each tent!
Comment from : Orlando Vallejos

I can personally recommend the Wawona tent Our family has the Wawona 4, and have used it camping while roadtripping several times We camped at Badlands National Park, and there was a terrible windstorm around 3 AM Several other people had their tents completely leveled Ours was fine, no bent poles, etc Great tent!
Comment from : Steve Herrell

This is great Curious what you think of the Big Agnes Big House 6-Person Tent
Comment from : Janet Whitehead

Very interesting - did you take them camping with Kids? The two zipper design sounds like it would work well with young kids who tend to not use the single zipper correctly
Comment from : Sarah Bent

Would love to see the Nemo Wagontop and kodiak canvas tent Interested to see how a single layer and canvas tent would compare
Comment from : Faith Short

What are your thoughts on the Nemo Wagontop?
Comment from : Richard Jones

Coleman is absolute trash junk now
Comment from : Dark Meta

I love the coleman tent

Fantastic video! New cub scouts mom here and needed this!

Can you please review the nemo aurora high rise 4p tent?
Comment from : Maddie Victoria

Big Agnes Mad House 6 and Big Agnes Bunk House 6 would be great ones to review in the premium category Great video, thanks!

Comment from : Andrew Luckman

Thanks man👍
Comment from : Eric Judd

Great video, we've been using an REI Kingdom 6 for years now and it has been a great tent
Comment from : D M

I have the Coleman Instant Cabin I think it's a crying shame that the rain fly is sold separately and just a big black eye on Coleman With that said, once you put the rain fly on it this tent is a beast I have stayed in some really harsh conditions with no issues I mean not one drop of water getting in Being Coleman, your results may very lol
Comment from : Randalls Little Adventures

Seems like REI Basecamp will be my new tentup grade from REI halfdome, :D How high were the winds you were testing under? OEM Stakes? would you suggest MSR stakes for the Basecamp? Thank you for this video Very useful
Comment from : SouthTX Gal

I’ve been considering the Gazelle T4+ for its roominess, ventilation & ease of set-up Have some concerns over how it will hold up in heavy rain & wind The other tent I am looking at are the Teton Mesa tents but airflow looks like it could be a problem Thank you for the review
Comment from : Casagrande

You a natural at this

I have a copper canyon 4 man It held against Utah winds but was full of gear and steamed down The door is perfect for my dog I love it

Comment from : Δημήτριος Κυπριώτης

Yes, Wawona 6 It got us through very high winds, and thunderstorms and hail The vestibule design is great, able to put in two regular camp chairs and a camp table, can cook in there in the rain, only thing I'd change is making the length of the side and front vestibule 2-3" longer towards the ground so it isn't so drafty in the cold wind Strongly recommend the separate footprint, and always buy serious stakes, that's likely what kept our tent solid in the high winds and hail, it was flopping around some, although guyed taut, and there were a few worrisome moments, but it held up Large enough for 2 of us and the dog on a queen air mattress or double cot, and room to store stuff on both sides There is a $199 vestibule addition for the Wawona 4, fyi
Comment from : Legalectric

I bought the Gazelle T-4 Hub, it really is the best tent I have found, yes you can pop it up in about a minute with one person Give it a look and pair it up to those you listed
