Hey guys, it's Lauren from Snowys here,
I have with me today the Oztent Bunker Stretcher,
it's a perfect all-in-one stretcher and tent
for solo adventurers, or even family campers
who have older kids who want a bit more
of an independent space.
Now all in all, your pack size will be about 107cm
by about 27cm square, and all in all
weighing around about 17 kilos.
Now whilst we're on the dimensions,
the Oztent Bunker is about 200 long, 83cm wide
and it tapers up to about 143cm here at the head.
The stretcher itself also sits about 40cm off the ground.
The fly is made of a ripstop polyester/cotton canvas,
and it's seam sealed throughout,
giving it about a 1000m waterhead rating
which puts it in the three season category,
which is excellent.
The mesh we've got here is a super-fine insect mesh,
and the bottom of the sling is 600 denier polyester.
Whilst we're down here,
the frame is powder-coated steel throughout.
Now in terms of the external features
on your Bunker Stretcher Tent, we have this vent flap
on the end, has a bit of ridge in here,
it's normally velcroed shut,
and then you've got this small stiff supporting strut
which helped keep that ventilation flap open
with your guy rope pulled down.
Each of the four corners on your bunker
also has these hooks to keep your fly in place,
and that's adjustable to adjust your tension.
So onto the sides of the bunker tent,
it's mirrored on both sides,
so it's gonna be exactly the same.
You have the option of rolling up this backend flap
here for some ventilation on the foot.
You can roll this flap down in conjunction with the zip
(zip being pulled)
and peg these out with the peg loops to create vestibules
on either side for extra waterproof storage
for shoes or bags or anything like that.
This front end also has the option to be rolled back,
and toggled into place to really open up the sides
if it's a warm night.
Now onto the head end of your bunker,
the feature I really loved most is this doorway section.
It has a double zip function here where the first zip
that you undo on either side allows you to open
this flap up as a fully-enclosed vestibule
for wet weather ventilation or also some extra space,
you could put your cooking equipment here,
or backpacks, or all sorts of other stuff.
There is a secondary zip on the inside,
and simply undoing this one allows you to open
this flap up all the way out as an awning option,
or just simply roll it and pack it away.
Whilst we're up at the top here,
these orange tags are quite nifty,
they allow you to put some tension on the fly
whilst you're zipping down like this,
and you also have these two guy ropes on the external points
that give you a bit of stability in inclement weather,
and you will also get pegs with your tent as well.
Another really versatile way of using your bunker stretcher
in really warm weather is the ability
to completely remove the fly, which you do simply
by unhooking all four corners, and removing the fly cap.
Internally we have your canvas footer and header
and this mesh panel on the inside.
What I call the tension tags make opening
all your zips really easy.
The mesh door panels on both sides
can simply be unzipped and rolled up.
The other awesome feature is that all your zips have
an internal and an external pull toggle,
allowing you to fully utilise all the zips
while you're comfy and warm in your bed.
Now the internal measurements are about 190 long
by 80 wide, down the end there we have a foot height
of around about 37cm, and up the top here
a maximum head height of around 83cm.
The bottom of the stretcher has got
this one centimetres' worth of padding
which primarily is helping to keep you insulated,
and if you're a pack light camper it's probably enough
for you to sleep comfortably, however you would benefit
from putting a mattress in, the dimensions do cater
for a large range of single size camp mats,
and I'm gonna put one of our most popular brands in here
and give it a test run.
Now I'm 171cm and I've actually got heaps of room in here.
The mattress we're using is 10cm thick, so that's dropping
my overall foot space down to just below 30cm,
I'm thinking if I was in a sleeping bag
or I had a doona in here with me,
it probably would take up
all of that space down the bottom,
and I may actually touch the outside of the tent there,
but because you've got that fly cap
and it's giving you quite a large gap, there's no risk
really of any wicking or condensation transfer.
Now in terms of the head space here,
I've got plenty of room, there's not much internal features
going on outside of these four pockets, the two on each side
that are actually really quite roomy,
you'd fit loads of stuff in.
Honestly, if you were holed up in wet weather
it's not too bad and especially taking into consideration
that extra space that that vestibule would give you,
you'd be pretty comfy in here.
Now there is one last way that you can set up
your bunker tent, and I'm gonna hop out now
and show you how to do that.
So if you do happen to be camping in a tent
and you don't need the whole kit and caboodle,
you can fully unzip this internal mesh panel here,
and it does completely remove.
You can tuck the header in and the foot in,
and whilst you've still got the frame
you can run it as a normal stretch tent,
chuck some fairy lights at the top
or reading lights or anything like that.
