- Good day folks, it's Lauren from Snowys here.
I'm gonna show you how to set up and pack away
the Darche Quick Cube Ensuite.
♪ Hit it. ♪ - It's super spacious tent.
You can use it as a toilet tent, shower tent,
or a changing room and it's quick,
super easy instant up frame.
So your Quick Cube comes in this storage bag here.
We've got a couple of straps on either side,
compression ones to take up any of the slack.
If you are interested in any more specs
or the features of this tent
don't forget to check out our features video.
So first things first with set up
is obviously getting your tent out of the bag.
So you actually have a little introduction booklet here.
There's nothing much to it but it just gives you
a quick run through of setting it up and folding it down.
So inside the bag we just have the tent itself.
It's just a single piece tent. And then also we've got
our little bag of pegs here too.
So the straps here that we've got on the inside
are just fully removable compression traps
to help bundle it all up together for storage.
And I'll undo this one as well, pop that to the side.
And then we're going to lay out our tent.
So we'll pop it up, right like this.
You see the little rubber stopper ends here
will be the feet of your tent.
And we're just gonna let that one fall out and open,
till we've got a bit of a square shape here.
So, as you can see over here
this is the doorway of the tent.
So we'll just get that in the right orientation there.
(tent rustling)
And then from here, we're just gonna bring up
each of the four legs.
Bring them up and out to the side here.
And at the same time
I like to put my palm nice and flat underneath
the bottom half of this hub here.
This little portion of the setup
can be a little bit awkward
especially if there's just one person
but it's even more helpful if you put your hand,
your other hand at the top here,
and you sort of pushed together and sandwich these two hubs
until it pops up, makes that clicking sound
you know it's locked into place. Now the important part here
before you continue to extend the legs
is this little hook here, in the peak of the roof.
We're just gonna pop that one through
this little slot under the hub there. Now from here,
we're just gonna simply move around the tent
and slowly pull all the legs up,
and into place locking in there.
This front one here.
I like to put my foot down here on the bottom tab
where you put your pegs through just to keep it in place
while you're pulling up the poles.
Now once you've got all four legs
that's your Quick Cube set up.
The last and final thing for you to do is to grab your pegs.
So obviously we're on a hard floor here
so we're not gonna actually be able to peg it in.
But your Quick Cube will come with 10 pegs.
You've got one for each corner of the tent
which we'll go through the little webbing loop like so.
And then you've also got four here
for each of your individual guy ropes.
So obviously the tent itself is really quite sturdy,
and really nice and strong but in a bit of wind
as you can see it sort of wobbles around a bit.
So it is really important that you peg out your tent
and also peg out your guy ropes as well.
On the inside here, you also have your ensuite floor.
So if you wanna set it up as an enclosed shower
or you've got a changing room or possibly, you know,
an in complete unit toilet
say like a porta potty or a bucket toilet.
You can just pop your hooks
into these little D-shackles in each corner,
and that will hold floor in place.
If you want to set this up over say
a long drop toilet or you wanna run it as a shower system
with full drainage on the bottom, you can just
take these little hooks, and pop them up in the corner here
on these little plastic ring loops.
And that's how quick and easy it is
to set up the Darche Quick Cube.
So now I'm gonna show you how to pack it away.
It's completely okay to leave the flooring
stowed in the back like that. So we'll just do it
for the purposes of this video.
The first thing that we're gonna do is essentially
we're just gonna do this in reverse. So we're gonna push in
these little tabs on the legs here
and then slide each of the legs down.
Now this gets a little bit awkward if it's just one person
because the tent once one leg is released
wants to collapse in on itself. We'll do the back two now.
And again, that same trick with putting your foot on the tab
helps to sort of keep it all a bit more balanced.
Do the final leg here, slide that one all down.
Now don't forget when we're at this point
the next thing we need to do is release this centre hook.
And now we're going to do the reverse of separating the hub.
Now once this hub does release and become separated
the whole tent can collapse in on itself
so be ready for that.
And now from here,
we're just gonna make sure we push the knuckles
all the way down into the ground.
There'll be a little bit of resistance there
but then the poles themselves
will naturally want to flick up.
So we're gathering all four of our pole feet.
One there, the third one.
And again last and final fourth one here.
And then from here,
we're just going to bundle the tent back up
and cover it with our straps.
So each, sort of wall of the tent
is going sort of sit out like this.
So I like to sort of fold it up almost like an umbrella here
where you're getting each of your little sections.
And sort of folding them in on itself.
Lots of twists, all the walls away.
So you wanna punch it up nice and tidy,
so it fits back into the bag well.
So we get this little strap here and we'll pop it around.
And I'm probably making this look a little bit awkward
but I'm sure that, you'll get the hang of it
once you sort of set it up and packed it away a few times.
Click that one in and then we'll pull on the strap
to tighten that off. And we'll get second shot
and just gonna do the same on the other end here.
Tidy away all your light guy ropes and loose bits
so they're not getting caught or damaged.
Once this last strap is connected,
it's ready to pop back in the bag.
So I like to tuck the rubber feet end of the ensuite tent
into the sealed end of the bag 'cause I just find
when you're doing the final zip-up it makes it a bit easier.
(tent rustling)
We'll zip the bottom half of the zip-up here
and actually don't forget the 10 pegs like I've just done.
So grab these ones here and pop them in the bag.
(bag rustling)
Tuck them in like so.
(zip hisses)
We'll bring this second zip up and over.
We'll connect these cinch straps in, here we go
and give these ones a bit of a tighten
and the same on the last strap.
So, there we have it. Your Darche Quick Cube Ensuite Tent.
It's super fast and easy to pack up and set away.
Even with one person that's a bit awkward
but it's still definitely doable.
