Hey appreciate the review, would you have a link to a two person three season tent that you WOULD say was good? IE not as heavy but still as strong against the weather?
Great video update. Q: Does it need a tarp underneath? Also, everywhere I camp has sandy soil about an inch down, then it turns to a mixture of soil, sand and rocks. Any suggestions or tweaks I could to with the Hooligan 2 to help make it less likely for the stakes to pull out? Thanks
This was my favorite tent I ever owned. I go camping several times a year, backpacking into the woods 2 or 3 miles and setting up for the weekend up to a week. Had my first one for 6 years before I put a hole in the bottom because I didn’t put a tarp down and a root I didn’t see poked through. Would definitely recommend.
First tent I purchased or assembled, easy and fits nicely in a 15L sack that you can purchase separately. I attach the sack to the exterior of my back pack and the poles inside the back pack. No problem. Highly recommend this tent! Fits nicely on my back!
at night without the rain fly, can you see the stars easily? I am looking at this tent or the stansport “starlight” 2 person, but there r no reviews of the ” starlight” tent. in its description it says that it would be good for stargazing but it’s a two pole design and about the same price.
Hi im considering buying this tent but im wondering what the maximum temperature that would be comfortable with the cover on in the summer would be be? And how much ventilation there is with the cover on during the summer?
Hi. Great review. 2 questions..
1) if I ditched the stuff sack and steel stakes then stuffed the tent + rain fly + aluminum tri-lobe stakes + poles directly into my lightweight pack, would it be light enough for backpacking? What ably when splitting the weight between 2 packs?
2) can you recommend another 2 person tent that is comparable in price, but is lighter?
Thanks!!
I see you still haven’t stopped using that creepy music. Shame. Good re-review though. I had the hooligan 3 which I loved, but have a bad habit of selling and buying different things. May buy this for those “car camping” weekend getaways.
just to be clear.. this tent has close able windows right? I just have to make sure I can jerk off in private
Great to see how it compares to your original review affter some real time use .
GREAT Review ! Thanks !
I just bought the tent from Amazon for 44.00. What is the dimension of the bag with tent inside? I have a ATV Trunk it will be going in.
how u clean the rain cover? can you put it in the washer? Great video buddy.
Nice Review. Thx

Will it work for winter camping
Do you still recommend this tent? I’m looking for a good tent for a beginner camper.
Would you think it’s something a guy could use in late October in upper Minnesota?
Excellent review! Thank you very much! You touched on all the major concerns.
Thank you for the review.
I agree with you review 100%. I love this tent as far car or weekend camping. Not a Backpacking tent at all.

It looks like a good bicycle camping tent?

Just picked up a couple of these for a trip me and my dad are taking next week :D. Thanks for the videos on this tent!!
is there a zipper to cover the mesh in side the tent to prevent windy getting in?

Nice beard you got goin’
hi! I just purchase this tent, how can I use it in smooth floor, where there is no soil to nail the stakes ? or in the beach?

Coleman founded in my hometown. 🙂
Great view of the tent st up. It would work fine for me. In summer I intend to use a hammock tarp instead of the rain fly.
Glad I could help, fuseman911 🙂
