Northgaze Canvas Tent

I bought this tent for scout camp thinking a four season tent where we were going at the time of year was the best bet(the wind has destroyed tents in the past). Of course the weather was perfect. More important, I didn't get a chance to test setup so that I knew what I was doing. Tent took 10 minutes to setup. The tent is solidly built, there are instructions sewn into the bag. Its easy to set up, take down, fold up, and get back in the bag. The bag is also big enough to store the extra tent poles for the porch, and a mallet to drive the stakes, without having to resort to origami to make it fit. Also, not having a floor makes it really easy to clean when you get home. I am not ever going back to a dome tent. I got a ground cloth this year at the kids request, and I look forward to more adventures.

This thing is awesome. It really doesn't take long to set up at all and what's better than a teepee with a fire?

This thing is sick! Well made, heavy duty, waterproof…. I can tell it’s going to be around for a long time. With standard height cots, you’ll be able to sleep two. If you sleep on the floor 3-4 is possible if you have limited gear. Highly recommend two low-pro cots for the best mix of comfort and room for gear—For two adults. With the OneTigris stove kit this tent kept us warm enough to not even need sleeping bags in 24*F temps. We experienced rain and snow, and remained dry and warm the entire time. Would 100% buy this tent again. Good quality zippers, great glow in the dark stakes, and sets up super fast with a single pole. Just realize it’s not going to fit three cots, nor will it be comfortable with four adults on the floor if you’re also using a stove. Bets used for 2, imho.

Took the tent out last week, the material is awesome. Love the T/C canvas. Used my stove in it and it heated up very quickly. The nylon tents like the Rock Fortress took forever to heat up. I returned this tent because somehow, where both doors are located, the tent maker forgot to sew in the loops you tie-back the doors with. (see the photos). One side had both. The other side was missing the bottom one which cause the tent door to lie in the mud and get stepped on while going in and out of the tent. Other than One Tigris's problem with quality control, I like the tent very much. Just wish they would make all of the green canvas tents using the Ranger Green (like my other One Tigris t/c tents) instead of the odd OD green which is much lighter and does not shed the daylight out in the morning like the darker green on the Conifer and Roc Shield.

Amazing tent. Just got back from Rocky Mountain National park in windy and freezing temperatures with no issues with this. The tent was only staked down around the parameter. This thing will be my new go to car camping tent. I’ll be reinforcing the top with Kevlar or something. I can see the pole shooting through it with enough weight or strain.

I spent 2 days of heavy rain and wind in the tent. I have a small wood burning stove that kept the tent pretty warm. I wish it was bigger for more room. It is really a 1 man size tent with a stove. The stakes are cheap and bend easily that can be fixed. The lack of a snow flap at the doors lets in wind and rain. All said it is a good hot tent.

This setup very easy and accommodates the danchel outdoors ta1 perfectly. I wouldn’t go any bigger for stoves, this is as PLENTY warm for the size of the northgaze. Very happy with color and feel of the canvas. Water beads right off.

It’s my first tent with a more expensive price-tag. I have some issues with the pegs which come with the tent but that’s no big deal coz we ought to use our separate set of pegs with every tent when camping anyway. Another thing is when the porch is set up, it doesn’t cover that much of a space and water will drop from both sides of that canopy into sitting area when it rains. But I guess that is common with a tent of this type. Other than that, it’s perfect! It’s a very, very nice tent and worth every penny it asks for.

Used this a lot since purchasing last year. You will need to order the additional poles for using the open awning, which is brilliant. Really well made tent, buy the stoves and chairs as well. All their stuff I have bought and used, fifty plus nights in this since last year, it really good and mad value for money, no leeks…important to mention, and very easy to put up and take down, packs up pretty small. Ideal for one person with kit, bit of a squeeze for two, especially if the tent is ‘closed’ . Really too big for back packing but ideal for open canoe or vehicle. Ideal for fixed camp for a number of days, but quick and easy enough to put up for one nighters, good zips, good ventilation. Stove is awesome by the way.

I have to admit my expectations weren’t very high - the price and description of the tent made me suspect it wasn’t going to be that great. But I was wrong. It’s comfortable, fairly easy to set up (despite the minimalistic instructions) and extremely waterproof. I know this because it rained almost continuously the first weekend I took it out! The quality of the canvas is very good - it not only repels water easily but is surprisingly insulating as well. All the seams are properly finished and sealed, reinforced where necessary and the structural components are carefully thought out. A lot of care and thought has gone into the details. Even the seams on the inside of the carrying bag are properly finished! At 6’2” (188 cm), I can just stand up straight in the centre without my head hitting the roof. The doors (there are two on the same side) are tall and wide enough to pass through without having to crouch at all, and - a first ever with tents I have owned - the zippers do not stick whether opened from inside or out! This tent is excellent quality for the money, and I think it would be hard to find a better one even at a much higher price.

Leider ist beim ersten Mal einheizen mit dem Petomax Loki 2 gleich ein kleines Brandloch in das Zelt gekommen. Trotz jeglicher Vorsicht. Eigentlich sollte der Zeltstoff besser feuerresistent sein. Aber das ist whrs. auf Flammen bezogen. Auch ist beim Spannen ein angenähter Ring abgerissen, wobei das meine Schuld war. Habe die Ringe anstatt die Bänder genommen. Sollte sich jedoch relativ leicht wieder annähen lassen. Die Ringe sind wohl für eine Bodenplane. Ansonsten ist die Verarbeitung sehr gut, das Packmaß groß. Also eher zum Angeln oder für den Campingplatz gedacht. Wer mit einem "Hot Tent" wandern möchte, sollte lieber zur OneTigris Northgaze "Nylon" Variante gehen und sich einen klappbaren Ofen zulegen. Meinem Vorredner muss ich mich anschließen; es ist schade dass es nicht mehr Aufhängungsösen oder Punkte im Zelt für Equipment, Lampen oder Kleidung gibt. Ja, wenn man den Eingang wie auf den Bildern mit Stangen aufstellt sind Molle-Schlaufen vernäht, aber das hilft ja im Winter nichts wenn das Zelt zu ist. Einen vernähten Ring ganz oben in der Mitte bei der Zeltstange gibt es für eine Lampe oder ähnliches. Auch der Import nach Deutschland ist durch den Brexit teuer. 4 Sterne gibt es trotzdem, da das Zelt sehr schön anzusehen, robust (ausser gegen Glut und falsches Aufbauen ;)) und beim zweiten oder dritten Mal schnell aufgebaut ist. Platz hat man zu 2 genug, auch mit Feldbetten (Oder man kauft die bodennahen Feldbetten von OneTigris, dann hat man, bedingt durch die Tipi-Form, noch mehr Platz.). Für 2 Anglerliegen ist das Zelt mit Ofen vermutlich zu klein. Die Wärme wird stark reflektiert, bei ca. -3°C waren es im Zelt bestimmt 25°C in der Mitte, am Boden bei den Rändern sicherlich auch 5°C.

I love how quick and easy this tent goes up. The manufacturer OneTigris is well known so I felt I could trust them over some lesser known companies, and I was right. For example, the flap that covers the stove jack when not in use, some manufacturers roll it up above the stove chimney where gravity or wind can cause it to get too close to the pipe. On this model it rolls down under the chimney. Small insight that I don't understand why others don't do. Each door has 2 zippers making it easier to get in and out. Getting the door closed all the way to the floor is easiest standing outside. Having a second zipper allows you to unzip from the top 3/4 of the way down, step in through the opening and then zip back up. To zip it all the way to the ground from the inside you would have to get on your knees or lie down to reach. Not fun if it is wet out. So thank you for the 2 zippers! The molle loops on the bottom of the door flaps are very useful when you open it up to create the overhang out front. It is the perfect place to hang your lantern or I hang my thermacell to keep the bugs away. Great quality through out the teepee. Glad I "upgraded" to the cloth version as well. It keeps the heat in longer, and blocks the sun out better.

Lovely hot tent. Light for its size. Only have tried it once on a very windy coast 40+mph winds. I have learnt to peg it tight to the ground to prevent wind ingress and heat loss. The flaps are also good to augment with rocks when it gets really hairy. Dry and cosy inside nonetheless. Space for two beds and stove plus sitting area. Good for two folk and a stove.
