I have tried finding it again,even looking through my youtube favourites,but i cannot fond the video.It must have been removed.Youtube is a great place to find helpful video clips about certain tents and how to erect and pack them away.

When chosing our day tent out of all the ones we could afford it was the type of doors that swung it. Other thing was that we got matching windbrakes17

We chose the Oklahoma because it has little windows with curtains in the corners, but the main decider was the door can be down, up or mesh (it would be nice if one was see through pvc but even with all the doors down (in bad weather) there's still plenty to see out.

We also used the porch poles off our Diablo and some spare guy ropes on one of the doors to cover the stove. The mesh did droop a little but not much.

Resurecting an old one here....

I was thinking - and very close to getting the Extension for the Trout Lake 4 at the weekend.... however, having looked at it properly - you lose half of the space because of how it attaches to the fron t poles on the tent and the front of the tent protrudes into the space leaving about 4 foot.

So I have decided on a Day Tent thingy... the Oklahama looks good, but I thought that the Outwell Alabama being a bit smaller and about £70 cheaper would be sufficient....

Anyone got one or had one that could share thoughts??

Only for the colour...

Used to have a Khyam so I know they're good - and that one is bigger and cheaper... nice find!
