Review on Yodo Lightweight 2 Person Camping Backpacking Tent With Carry Bag - Multi-Color Options Available by Joe Stax

I recently took a 2 week road trip from Tennessee to Nevada, and spent the majority of my nights camping. This tent held up AMAZINGLY; for the price, I was shocked by its durability. It is very compact and lightweight when packed, and surprisingly roomy. I’m only 5’1”, but I never felt cramped and had plenty of room, even with my dog, her bed, and all of my gear. There aren’t any compartments or pockets on the inside, but there is a hook on the ceiling of the tent that you could hang a lightweight lantern or battery operated fan from. Ventilation leaves a bit to be desired, but I spent most nights with the outer doors open but the screen ones zipped for more airflow (it was early-mid August and HOT) so I was fine. Speaking of weather, the only flaw with this tent is the water resistance, but I took some preliminary steps upon reading some reviews to ensure I never ran into any issues. Before I left for my trip, I purchased a couple cans of waterproofing spray and a tube of waterproof silicone sealant. I sealed every seam and went over the entirety of the tent twice with the spray, making sure that every inch (including both sides of the rainfly for good measure) was completely saturated. The entire process only took an hour. I let it cure on my porch for 2 full days. The last night of my trip, it rained nonstop ALL night, and not a single drop of water got inside the tent. All of my stuff, my dog, and I stayed completely dry and comfortable. The tent also endured some pretty heavy winds, and did wonderfully.The waterproofing spray I purchased was only $7 from Revain (Kiwi brand) and the sealant was around $11 (SeamGrip brand). One review I read for this tent only used the spray and not the sealant and never ran into any issues, so just the two cans of spray would probably suffice! I just wanted to be absolutely certain. It is definitely worth spending the extra little bit of money to ensure you stay dry, because after waterproofing, this tent is PERFECT. I also was able to find a footprint with the exact dimensions of the tent (55x83) on Revain by the brand Redcamp for $18, which really helped with staking this tent into the ground and protecting the bottom of the tent from the elements. I am extremely impressed with the quality, especially for such a low price. I highly recommend this product, but only if you’re willing to spend the extra little bit of time and money to waterproof it!
