Test Camp: Grand Trunk Ultralight Hammock, SwissGear Eiger Hiker Tent & More



My first trip out to play with a few new toys I picked up for the upcomming season. This first camp was just to find out how easy the hammock and tent were to set up and take down as well as test out a couple of other toys I picked up. This is just a first show of the Grand Trunk Ultralight Hammock and SwissGear Eiger tend of which I will be reviewing over the camping and backpacking seasons and I will be submitting my final thoughts on the two items at the end of the summer. So if you are thinking of buying one of these two items for this year or next, keep watching to find out if they hold up to the tests!

Sure you probably already knew this, but if you take a stainless steel scrubbing pad and softscrub, it will clean that canteen up nicely...just make sure to wash/rinse with regular soap and water a few times after to get rid of any softscrub residue. Nice video.

@lifeisgood12341 check the bass pro hiker tent i weighed it and idk if its accurrate but with everything like stakes poles blah blah and it was 2.6 pounds

@lifeisgood12341 If you are looking for a really good tent that is light weight enough to handle without too much strain and is durable as well as functional try the Kelty Salida. It is an awesome tent! I regret that mine was stolen out of the back of my pick up last year but I plan on reinvesting in another one this year, and not leaving it sit in the back of my truck while I visit a bait shop LOL :)

Tent looks great I'm probably going to buy it or the kelty grand messa i go hiking a lot for days at a time but on those long trips my dad usually comes with me so I have a large 3 or 4 person tent (very spacious) but this summer I'm going on a long trip alone and a 3 or 4 person tent is kinda heavy when you have to carry everything yourself thanks very helpful

Dude, I am a 44 year old man and you made me want to go camping again! Kudos to you!

Looking at the Eiger for some bike camping out here in the Mississippi River valley. Thanks for the review. It helped a lot!!"Now that's a knife!!"Cheers!

@hazzzer Yeah, an old tents rain fly works out just fine for me and if you are any good with a sewing needle and thread you can even trip it down, fold over the ends and sew the new seam you created and you can cut it to look just like a regular rain fly so that you don't have all the extra bulk to carry in your pack. Also, Campmor has a Kelty 9x9 Noahs tarp 9 that weighs 1 lb. 13 oz. for 59.95 USD but I stick with the old tent fly because there is no reason not to get some more use out of it.

I have the same hammock and I needed a fly so thanks for the Idea. Because I have an old tent I Don't think I have thrown out were the poles are broke so I can use the fly.Thanks
