The Survival Russia Channel is about “The Reality Of Survival”. I live on a Homestead in far away Russian wild nature. Here is no room for “TV” Survival.
Only Reality counts here. Survival Russia promotes the philosophy of always carrying equipment and never to be parted from equipment which will affect chances of Survival.
So did the old timers and pioneers of both the East and the West.
Get Out and Train and Get it Done!

Helikon-Tex SuperTarp – First Look

What it is : This is a fairly inexpensive polyester tarp from the company known as Helikon-Tex.

Agenda Free Link : https://www.helikon-tex.us/supertarp.html

Size Setup : 10 x 10’

Size Packed : 12” x 6.5” x 1.5”

Materials : 100% rip-stop polyester, YKK zippers
The company says that the tarp is plastic coated….I have no idea what that means other than it has been coated with either Polyurethane, silicon, or some sort of DWR. By the way, Helikon-Tex doesn’t state the Denier of the polyester – in other words, there is no way to know just how strong of a tarp this is.

Weight : 1lb 12oz with storage bags

Colors : Black, Olive Green, PL Woodland, US Woodland

Price : Retail $65 – prices are raised on Amazon – some are around $100. I’m not sure what is happening there – it says that Helikon-Tex is the seller and it is they who are charging more on the site.

Features :
19 reinforced Attachment points – check the placement of these
Taped seams
Storage bag allows for easy packing even when wet – I want to test that out specifically as storing a wet tarp is always a struggle.

Two methods of storage included – zippered sleeve and drawstring bag

Side Note : When getting the information together to film this episode, I was at the Helikon-Tex web site and noticed that there are all sorts of spelling mistakes and oddities when it comes to the details concerning this product.

The site says that the drawstring compressed BAD enclosed with tarp allows to compact it for transport.

Impressions based on my handling of the tarp so far :

I like the zippered storage bag but I doubt storing the tarp in this is going to be easy and quick after a rain event.

I do like that the zippered pouch has attachment points so you can rig this up on the outside of your pack for quick deployment.

Might not be a Problem : The attachment points do not surround the tarp equally as you have more points on two sides than you do on the other two sides. This is nonsensical in terms of design and what this is going is making the setup process harder and more time consuming than it needs to be.

You go to setup the tarp, you get it out of the storage bag, unfold and begin setting it up; Because of the design you have to pay extremely close attention to where the tie off points are and make sure to orientate those tie off points in the proper way with the trees in the forest otherwise you could get yourself in a position where you partially set up the tarp and you realize that you don’t have the proper tire points to complete the set up.

Problem : Small Tie-out loops? Stitching?

Price : Based on what I see here, the retail price is fair but I wouldn’t pay more than that retail price for a polyester tarp. For around $100 you can get a much stronger nylon tarp that is also lighter in terms of weight from other companies, AquaQuest is an example with their Guide tarps.

This has been a first look, make sure to stay tuned to the channel as I test out this product and eventually review it.

Coleman Introduces a Premium Line of Tents – Outdoor News

Recently I was contacted by an individual named Robert and he was asking my opinion about the Coleman Peak1 series of outdoor products; I had to respond honestly in that I wasn’t aware of this series but I would look into it.

— That’s what I did and I was a bit surprised at what I found! —

Before I speak of the surprises and my thoughts on these new products, lets go over the press release that I found online;

Link to Press Release : https://www.outdoorsportswire.com/new-coleman-peak1-collection-inspires-outdoor-adventures-exploration/
…..
Tents

Focusing on the tent shelters that the company has released,

1 Person Backpacking – $230 – 4lbs 12.6oz
2 Person Backpacking – $270 – 6lbs 1oz
3 Person Backpacking – $300 – 7lbs 8.7oz
4 Person Dome – $440 – 12lbs 15.1oz
6 Person Dome – $550 – 15lbs 8.7oz
…..
Surprises

There are a few points which really surprised me while looking over the details concerning these tents and they are as follows;

low waterproof rating – only 2000mm HSHR
large storage size – the company doesn’t state the storage size information but they do have a picture of the tent attached to the outside of a backpack and it looks very large
heavy – Coleman states in their own marketing material that the backpacking tents are ultralight and that isn’t true.
lack of information concerning the materials used – they state that aluminum poles are used but don’t state the main materials – I suspect they are polyester based on the stated weight
price is higher than what I expected considering the available stats – for a polyester material at this weight that’s expensive.
Very few images of the tents on the Coleman site. One picture of the outside of the tent, no pictures of the inner tent.
…..
Coleman states that the tents have a 2,000mm HSHR which is on the low side.

Coleman also states that the tents are capable of handing 45mph winds.

Footprints are included

Tents look to have a lot of mesh which is an uncommon feature for Coleman tents in general. Breathability and airflow should be excellent with these shelters.
…..
What do you think of this new line of premium shelters from Coleman? Do the prices surprise you?

For me, the prices are a bit shocking especially when you compare to similar shelters;

The Teton Sports Mountain Ultra 2 is over $100 less expensive.
The NatureHike Mongar 2 is around $100 less expensive, is 2 pounds lighter and features double the waterproof rating.
……
Coming up in the future I will get in at least one of these tents to see how well it performs and together we will see whether or not these tents are worth the rather high price-tag.
