This is the Hot Tent Challenge!

Over the last couple of weeks, I have had a number of viewers writing in and asking about Hot Tents and this got to me to thinking about doing a budget challenge to see what we could come up with.  With this series, there is going to be multiple parts as we go through the creation of our setup.

Part 1 involves a setup, overview and initial impressions of the tent which I decided to base the challenge around.

This is a budget friendly hot tent made by BLACK ORCA and it is called the Smokey HUT Tent.

Part two will be to test out its waterproof abilities to learn if anything needs to be addressed before moving on to the next step.

Part 3 will be the installation of a stove jack.

With Part 4 we will locate and install a stove.

Part  5 Lastly it will be the adventure with the stove itself.

Pros :



When you receive this bag is flat and compressed for shipping purposes and is deceptively small. Once you open it up, I found it to be impressively spacious.



Lots of Space  Excellent organization options  Extremely well thought-out  Excellent quality.  



Can be worn as a backpack which is excellent for traveling; at the airport, you pick up your bag, put it on your back and get to your vehicle.  It works very well.  It’s not the most comfortable backpacker and it wasn’t designed to be but for the purpose of hauling for short durations, it’s excellent.



Offers a large amount of space



Very tough bag; stronger and more durable than your average civilian pack. Also much better quality than you run of the military tactical style travel bags that are out on the market.



I wouldn’t say that it is military grade but if it was, it would weight at least 10lbs and would be overkill for most people. Without a doubt, strong enough for outdoor use, travel use, law enforcement and so on.



Footlocker design is very handy.



Lots of storage options, pockets and so on.                 Lots of ways to carry



Light weight compared to many packs of this size                Excellent option for traveling use as long as the size fit your needs.



Excellent clam shell design – opens up and you are presented with all of you gear/clothing and so on.



I like the zipper pulls and the internal compartments, they come in handy for separating clean and dirty laundry for the trip home. Also like that the shoulder straps removed



Believe it or not, this pack is also hydration bladder compatible!             Excellent should harness system 



Review Cons :



Can be a bit pricey-but you pay for quality so scratch that from the con list!



There are many zippered access points on this pack and only the main portion of the pack is lockable.  I mention that for those who find that to be an important feature; I personally do not.



While technically the pack is the dimensions stated by the company, I have found that it is only to the measurements which absolutely stuff to the point where the zippers are stressed. Maxpedition states a width of 11” but it’s actually a few inches shy of that unless crammed and stretched full.



Summary :



This pack is ready to serve whatever needs that you have; may it be travel, photography/filming trip, hunting trip, etc



It’s an excellent quality pack and features some truly excellent designs/features. Can easily hold a weeks’ worth of clothing and other gear including my laptop and so on.
