- Hey folks, this is the Oztent Bunker XL Stretcher Tent
set up behind me here.
A roomy, single person stretcher and shelter all in one
and I'm gonna show you how to set it up and pack it away.
Let's get started.

- Hey folks. Ben from Snowy's here today
with the Oztent Bunker XL
single person shelter.
This is a stretcher and shelter all in one.
It's made with heavy duty materials and it suits
particularly tall people who are car camping
or four wheel drive touring by themselves,
so they just need a shelter for one.
I'm gonna show you how to set it up and pack it away today.
This is how it comes when it's packed up.
It weighs about 17 kilos, measures about 113 centimetres
in length by, depending on how well you pack it up,
about 35 to 40 centimetres this way, and about 20 odd
centimetres this way.
I'll start by showing you what comes in the bag.
From inside your bag here you get a little bag of pegs.
They're pretty lightweight pegs, could benefit from
an upgrade if you're using it in heavy ground
or really bad weather (metal pegs hitting floor).
You get an instruction manual.
This is the fly sheet here.
It'll go over the top for weather protection
(canvas thudding to ground) and this is the inner tent
and the stretcher all in one.
So to get started with this, we take the strap off
and we lay it out so that the frame, or this little
H section of the frame is pointing upwards.
In terms of orienting the tent, these poles here
look a little bit different.
The pole with a bit more structure, with the
extendable section is gonna be the head end of the tent
so I'm gonna set this up at the moment with the head end
to my left, so I'm gonna roll it over and the first thing
I do is open the tent up to create a T section like this.
Now the next step you can either do from this side
if you're tall enough to sort of reach over
or step over this side of the tent.
Now this can be a little bit awkward until you get used to
how the set of the frame folds, and if we start to fold
these ends out like this, just lift the ends,
or lift the side like this and push the ends outwards,
until they go as far as they can, and then you need to
flip the tent over onto it's front like this.
Make sure these (metal frame banging on floor) ends are
folded out as far as they will go (frame banging on floor).
And the next step is to come up to the head end here
and we need to extend these poles.
The foot end poles don't need extending, just the head end.
So you simply pull these up.
There's a little locator pin here that'll pop out
when we get to the correct height (pin clicking)
and that'll lock it into place.
We do that on both sides, and that's the inner tent
all set up.
Next step is to grab the fly and throw that over the top.
Now to get it (canvas rustling) over the top,
we wanna make sure that one of these zips on the end
is undone.
To orient the fly we look for these orange strips here.
That's the long door that's gonna go
to the head end of the tent here.
If we undo one of these (zipper whooshing) it's gonna
make it easier to get the fly up or stretch it over the top
of these poles here. (zipper whooshing)
So we undo that, (canvas rustling) we throw it over the top,
come down to the foot end here.
I know this if the foot end 'cause it's got the Oztent logo
and the little vents here.
Pull this over the end.
There's nothing underneath here to secure it on to these
poles, it just sits over the top like so.
At the bottom of each corner there's a little metal clip
that marries up to a little metal loop in the frame here.
We just put that around there.
We can tighten them, but we'll do that later
once we've got everything in place.
Do that on each side.
Up to the head end of the tent here.
This is why we need this zip undone so that we can get this
over the top of this pole here.
Go down to the bottom.
Find the same little metal clips and put them in place
up at this end as well.
Once we've got all four of these in place we can go around
and tighten these a bit, just so the fly sits nice and tight
on top of the inner.
That is the Oztent Bunker XL all set up apart from
a couple of things.
Firstly, guy ropes.
There's three guy ropes.
There's one at the rear here on the vent,
and two at the end on each side of the entrance there
or end doorway there.
We can also set up, we'll probably do these actually,
is a couple of pegs that are included with your kit,
so peg this out.
There's a little gussetted awning.
Now this is the same on the other side of the tent here.
You can also roll the door here up and secure it up
and out the way if you like.
And then the door on this end of the tent here,
we've got a few options as well.
At the moment, that's closed completely.
We can unzip these (zippers whooshing) on the sides here
and roll it up and out the way (canvas rustling)
if you like.
There's tabs at the top here to roll it up and out the way.
Alternatively, there's this second little gusset
that features in here, and if we do up the second zip
(zipper whooshing) down here, we can actually peg this out
as a little sheltered awning as well, a little sheltered
space for us to store some gear, or if you wanna wake up
in the morning and cook a bit of breakfast
or something like that.
That's the Oztent Bunker XL all set up.
It was pretty easy all by myself.
Nice and quick.
Minimal amount of pegs.
Packup is just as easy (canvas rustling).
First thing we need to do is get the fly off.
So we've got the fly off and folded up, now we've just
gotta collapse the poles at the end here,
so we come up to these.
Got a little push button here where you can press that in
and push the poles right down as far as they go.
Do that on both sides, and then we can just fold
the frame up.
So, firstly make sure this fabric (canvas rustling)
is pushed inside the tent here.
Come around to the side and we wanna tip the whole
stretcher on it's side.
From here the stretcher's gonna wanna start
to collapse down, we need to pull these end legs in
as it goes.
So if we pull this in, it'll collapse neatly down
to the ground.
So once that's flat on the ground, we just wanna make
sure this fabric is inside these flaps here.
This fabric here needs to sit between these.
If it's on the outside, it stretches over this frame here,
it makes it harder to fold it up and it can also damage
the fabric of the tent.
So tuck it inside of those.
Then you can fold these in.
Just keep checking, make sure that doesn't go
on the outside.
Fold 'em all in together.
The we grab the strap that came with our bag,
secure it all up and it can all go back in the bag
(zipper whooshing) and that is how you set up
and pack away the Oztent Bunker XL Stretcher tent.
Now the big question to everyone's lips is,
"Did it go back in the bag very easily?"
I'd say it was reasonably easy.
If you fold that fly up nice and tightly,
it's easy to do by yourself.
