Hey folks, Ben from Snowys here today
at Brown Hill Creek caravan park in Adelaide
on a beautiful sunny day.
And I'm showing you today
the Malamoo Teepee six from Oztent.
This is a classic single pole teepee style tent,
that's a bit of a novelty for your family camping.
This is how it comes when you buy it.
Weights about 6.75 kilos,
70 centimetres in length,
20 centimetres in height,
and about 20 centimetres in depth.
Now inside the bag of your Teepee six,
you get your bag of pegs,
you get the centre pole in this bag here,
it's four sections and it's spring loaded,
or joined together with springs
so it's easy to put together.
And you get the main portion of the tent.
Now we're gonna show you how to set it up today,
the first thing we need to do is spread the inner out.
I think it's an octagon shape here.
Now, there's a single door,
and I've got the door on this side
so my tent's facing this way,
and the first thing we need to do is grab eight pegs,
go round to the base and on each of the corners
put these base pegs in.
We don't worry about this one here yet,
we do that after we've got the pole in place.
So, I've got eight of these and I'll put 'em in place.
Now while we're on the pegs, they're not too bad,
they're not super heavy duty pegs,
if you're on hard ground you might wanna upgrade these,
maybe grab a handful,
particularly for the guy ropes just in windy weather,
but for softer, average ground they're gonna do the job.
You might find after you've put all the pegs in
you need to go back and just adjust a few of them
to make sure the floor's nice and flat.
Now the next step for us is to grab our pole,
assemble the four pieces so it makes one long piece,
and then we step inside to put it in place.
Now the two ends on the pole are slightly different.
This end here is the top of the pole,
this end here with the rubber pad on it
is what sits on the base.
So the first thing we need to do is get the top of the pole,
reach inside the tent here and find at the very peak
this little pouch.
And that pouch is where the top of our pole goes.
From there we can just push the pole up and into place.
So just as we put the pole in place just make sure
our pole remains in the little pocket at the top there,
and the fabric isn't caught up,
and then down at the base here
you can see there's a square section here,
that's slightly reinforced
where the pad of our pole is gonna sit.
Now that's the tent pretty much in place,
we now need to step outside
and put the rest of the pegs in place.
We'll grab the rest of our pegs
and put them all in around the base there.
We've gotta get this peg in the flap that goes over the top
of our floor here and put each of these in place.
There's eight of those.
There's quite a few pegs for this tent here.
On top of that, there's eight guy ropes,
now they're double guy ropes,
they're attached at two points on the tent here,
and we can peg them out as well.
So by the time we've got all of those pegs in place,
24 in total, it's nice and sturdy.
Apart from the windows and vents a the top there,
that's the tent set up in full.
You tighten the guy ropes,
they don't need to be really tight,
just firm enough to hold the walls in place
to stop them from flapping around too much.
Now it is a total of 24 pegs,
so if you're in really hard ground
it's probably gonna be a little bit annoying,
you're gonna need some heavy duty pegs,
but the benefit of having 24 pegs around the base
is that this tent is pretty steady.
If I grab the centre pole here, give it a wobble,
it's a still centre pole
and it's holding that in place pretty sturdily.
So that was easy to set up by myself,
just as easy to take down.
The first thing you wanna do
is everything in reverse really.
Guy ropes out first.
First layer of pegs out from around the base
so we can get the pole out.
So that's the guy ropes and the first layer of pegs out.
We've still got the pegs in the floor in place,
so before I take them out
and make sure the tent doesn't blow away in windy weather,
I'm gonna step in and take the centre pole out first.
They probably recommend at this stage
to make pack up easier,
you could just sort of bunch this fabric up
in the middle here,
and mash it back in the bag,
but just in planning ahead if we just take a bit of time
and flatten it out a little,
it means when we roll the tent up,
it's gonna roll up a bit smaller,
it's gonna go back in the bag just a little bit easier.
I can now go pull the remaining eight pegs out
and then fold it all up and pack it away.
Now it's not your traditional tent shape
so to fold it up there's probably no right or wrong way
but we just need to match it roughly
with length of the bag here.
So I'm gonna lay this at the end of the tent
and fold the sides in until it's about this width,
and then I can roll it all up.
Just a little tip here,
I'd recommend rolling everything towards the door
so the air escapes as you're rolling it.
If you sort of fold this in half now,
because there's not a lot of windows in the tent,
you're gonna create big pockets of air in the fabric
and it's gonna make it hard to squash down.
Now that went back in the bag super easy,
nice and compact, lightweight,
to fit in the back of just about any car.
That is how you set up and pack away
the Oztent Malamoo Teepee six.
I did it easily all by myself.
