Let's get started.

Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here today
with the OZtrail Easy Fold Stretcher Tent.
Now this is an awesome all-in-one bed and shelter
for solo car campers or four-wheel drive tourists.
It weighs about 12.5 kilos altogether,
and I'll start by telling you about the fabrics.
Now, OZtrail don't give a lot of information
about waterhead or (mumbles), or the fabrics here,
so what we do know is that it is a polyester fly
and it's seam sealed throughout, so it is waterproof.
Underneath the fly there is an inner
that's made up of also a polyester and also Noseeum mesh.
And the frame is, it's sort of a powder-coated,
I'm pretty sure it was powder-coated
steel frame throughout with plastic components and brackets
and that sort of thing.
So I'll start by looking at things on the outside.
If we come down the foot end of the tent here,
we've got a little vent with a guy rope attached.
Now this can be either, if we peg this out,
the vent's open to allow ventilation through the tent
or there's a little velcro tab
under there so that we can seal it closed
to keep things nice and warm inside.
Moving around to the side, there's a door like this
on both sides, so what you see here is mirrored
on the other side of the tent here.
Now this can actually be set up as a small awning.
It's got brass eyelets in the corners
and two extra guy ropes and poles that come with your kit,
so you can set this up with a little shade at the side here.
Alternatively, you can roll it right up and out the way
like this with the tabs at the top to allow us access
in on the side.
Once again, all these features are the same
on the other side of the tent.
And that then gives us access to a door on the side here
which is a single mesh door.
It's got two zips to allow us access inside the tent.
Let's move around the front of the tent here.
We've got another door and also another awning
that we can set up with the poles.
Now there's only two poles that come with your kit
so you'll have to pick which one you set up as an awning.
But if we unzip this, we can see there are
also two more brass eyelets in the corners here,
and we can set this up as an awning if we like.
And this comes about 120, 130 centimetres out
from the edge of the tent here.
That then opens up access to another mesh door here
so we can climb in the end of the tent there to access.
So you can access it from one of three points,
one on each side or one at the end here.
Now coming inside the stretcher tent here,
I'll just flick this door up and out the way.
Now there are tabs on the side here so we can actually
roll the screen doors up on the side and keep it
up and out the way.
They feature for the door on this side
and the door I'm looking through here as well.
I was talking about the height of the tent.
It's about 80 centimetres internal height
at the head in here, and that tapers immediately
down to 35 centimetres at the back of the tent there.
On each side of the head end we've got some
little storage pockets here, four of them in total
to keep your necessities, you know, easily locatable
and up and out the way during the night.
And in terms of space inside the tent,
we've got about 80 centimetres in width.
And OZtrail say 200 centimetres in length
but I measured 198 so it is pretty close.
And probably one thing that is worth mentioning is that
this base here is a heavier duty nominal polyester
than what the fly is made of so it is strong,
but it's not actually padded.
So you can benefit from putting another sleeping mat
inside of here.
You can't fold the tent up with the mat inside
but you can certainly put it in afterwards.
Now I've got one of our most popular 10 centimetre thick
mats here with me today that's about 198 centimetres
in length and 70 centimetres in width, or 77, sorry,
so it fits perfectly inside there.
I'm gonna put that in, crawl in and show you how well I fit.
As I jump inside the stretcher tent here,
you can see the mat fits really, really comfortably.
270 centimetres long, 77 centimetres wide
is a beautiful fit.
I have lost a bit of height.
Being a 10 centimetre thick mat, you can see that
I've lost a little bit of head height.
There's not enough room to sit up in here,
but there is enough room to sort of function and get up
on my elbow at least and get my head up off the ground.
There is about 15-20 centimetres' gap between the inner tent
here and the fly above.
So condensation shouldn't be an issue
unless you're pushing really hard up against this.
And in terms of the length of the tent,
if I lay down, I'm 185 centimetres, as you see
I've got plenty of foot space but I have only got
about 25 centimetres of height at the end there
so if I've got a really bulky sleeping bag I might just be
touching the inner tent.
But like I said there is a bit of a gap
between the inner and the fly so condensation once again
shouldn't be an issue.
I reckon these are a great shelter for individuals.
Like I said if you're solo car camping
or four-wheel drive touring, you can set them up
really quickly, they give you good weather protection,
and it's an all-in-one option.
