P.S. Individual reviews are being edited and will be published in a couple weeks!
Hey Liz I would love to see this style of review done on the naturehike village tent. I like the look and features of it but all of the videos I have found are nothing like yours and seem suspiciously positive.
Good to see my NEMO so well rated…but it is by no means a 6 man tent!!
Absolutely the best tent reviews I’ve ever watched, and I’ve been doing this for years! Great Job!
You are the most detailed and scientific reviews I have seen. Great work.
