Great content, brother. Get some tarp clips, which is the easiest solution for your extra tie outs. God bless you and your family, and happy camping 🏕 😀 😊 🙏.Lee

Good vid, like you I have accumulated a few tents (14 running total😅) But the baker style tent is a good design for biking and a couple of years ago did look at the Ribble but wasnt sure of the durability so went for a one tigris bungalow 2.0 but being single skin the condensation was too much. I then found a used wild country aspect 2.5 for £100 and bought that and is a very good tent. Wild country stopped making it and brought out the Helm but think they missed out there. Will be interested to see long term how the Ribble does but it's a good setup.

@yetiibob8407 😄 you are certainly a kindred spirit. I just like tents 🤣. I've been trying to find the perfect one for ages and something always seems to be flawed in one way or another. I've just spent the last 4 nights in the ribble and it was fantastic. I had abit of rain, and some light wind and it was fine, but nothing too adventurous so far. I did however use some tarp clips to pull the ends out and it worked well. Kept the outside off the inner the whole time. I'll get some use out of it over the rest of the year and see how it holds up and do a long term review 👍

@yetiibob8407 I've seen the helm tents a few times now, as well as a couple of Alpkit tents I like. The alpkit is brilliant and can free stand also on rocky ground. Pretty much you and your kit weigh it down, but its nearly 300 quid. The helms look good, but at the same time they have a lack or porch facility and the price point is quite high too. I know you get what you pay for and all that, but sometimes I just think there are bargins to be had if you look around. 😉

I've yet to find the perfect tent. Everything is a compromise. Like you said, that the ones with black-out interiors are great. Although, I have noticed that they are sods when you are trying to find something in the sleeping area that you've lost, especially dark-coloured things. I've tried loads. I even had the Galaxy 300 which although they seem to be the unicorn for motorcyclists, it just didn't gel with me. Teepees have lots of advantages but it does feel a bit odd when you're the only one with one on the trip :) and they're bloody noise when the wind ramps up. My current Kobuk Valley 2 tent ticks all the boxes, but like you I'm a bit long and my feet touch the sides. I took a big one with me to the ABR this year, my old Outwell Birdland. Load of room, taller than me but 13.5 kgs. The one tent I have the fondest memories of was one of first ones, a Khyam Biker. Really quick to set up with that mechanism, but that same mechanism broke quite soon. A guy I met at the ABR swore by his Lone Rider. The search goes on ...

@ianowen4481 and that's just it. Compromise.......if you want under 100 quid then you are going to suffer somewhere. The lone rider tents with the big open porch bit that you can park your GS in 😉, look great, but theyvare heavy and pack down large, not to mention the price tag. Your teepee was fantastic, but it looked like you were carrying a body round on the back of your bike 🤣🤣 I have fond memories of that trip. For me this ticked all these boxes; Sub £100 Space for me and gear (it's a 3 person) Porch to cook in Sub 5kg Smallish packed size Fairly versitile Cons however are; No blackout (if it bothers you) Ends of the 'tunnel' touch the inner in abit of wind Longevity?? 🤷♂️ I can't really think if much else wrong to be honest. It's all positive at the moment. Only time will tell.

Have a look at the Naturehike Massif. I've had one a while now and I think is one of the best tents for mc travel.
