Northern 204 Adventures
Canada
Приєднався 18 гру 2014
Hey everyone. My name is Derek, and this is my channel to share all my adventures! The Channel name means "Northern Manitoba Adventures". (I grew up, up north, I live in Manitoba, and I am always seeking adventure). I'm not locked in to just staying in Manitoba either. In fact I want to spread out a bit farther as time goes on.
Putting this content up on UA-cam was originally an impulse decision I made after the elk hunt in 2016. I have since added a lot of gear/equipment to video my new adventures. I realized that I do a lot of outdoorsy things and they always come up in conversation with friends and family, so I figured why not put them on UA-cam and let them also get to see first hand some of the experiences I have.

RBM Pentagon Winter Camping in Crazy wind and Rain! Russian Bear Pentagon Hot Tent Camping
We set out to return to the same spot we camped 2 weeks prior where we stashed extra wood for the final winter camp of the season. Using the Russian Bear RBM - Pentagon which is smaller than the Russian Bear RBM - UP-5 but has a better wall design making it more comfortable for us.
Crazy wind and rain but great food, warm tent and some good downtime.

For the low price of 15 bucks you can stop the grease splatter while cooking during a camping trip or block the wind for consistent cooking heat! Not a "mus have" but does make a huge difference by not getting great splatter all over your stuff while winter camping. Especially on the canvas tent walls!

Mine broke after 5 oyears... can't find the exact one ANYWHERE that ships to USA that's reasonably priced. Do you have a link to 9ne of these $30 or less?
Is the UP5 as hard to erect as i heard it is?
Order one! They will confiscate it at the border ir so thats what they will tell you!
Hi Derek, can’t wait till you do a review on your new RBN Hexagon tent, looking forward to seeing the comparison between that and the Pentagon.
Wont be long now. only a few more weeks of warm weather, then pull the boats out of the water and prep for winter :) I took the Hexagon camping this summer up north..... Massive! so much room. Its going to be perfect for the whole family.
Put that propane tank out side
At -40 the tanks lose too much pressure. But I do use a leak detector and CO detector. I re test often. It's a risk yes. One I'm willing to take.
Is the chair still going strong? Saw a few posts where a few people had one of the aluminum legs break.
@@EvilCob still going strong. I gave this one to my wife who is heavier than me and no issues. I got the one with arms and a cup holder from her for Christmas so I use a different Nature hike chair but same design amd legs, just has arms and a cup holder as well.
costs 23€ (21$) shipped at AliExpress
I tried many similar camping chairs. This was the only one that I did NOT even consider buying because it looked and felt so poorly made, almost amateurish.
Too bad. Its great quality.
Mine was SOOO difficult to get the seat material on. I'm a fit and healthy 39 yr old and I actually hurt my arm doing it.
Little tip would be to start at the top back rest arms and then do the seat. The backrest arms are bowed so if you turn them inward it goes easy
I live in Winnipeg. Id love to own that tent. Very nice
@@stevenjames2876 i have a UP5 for sale. Used once. Vid is on my channel
I bought this chair because of this video , here in the Philippines it's only 18 dollars maybe we're close to china 🙂👍 thanks for that review 🎉
CAME ACROSS THE SAME SHOTGUN IN 1999. IT WILL TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS....DEER, TURKEY, YOU NAME IT. TRY IT WITH A WINCHESTER 3-1/2" #4 TURKEY SHOT AND EXPERIENCE WHAT REAL RECOIL FEELS LIKE. IT WILL KICK YOU LIKE A MISSOURI MULE. FOR THE MONEY, IT IS ONE OF THE BEST ALL-AROUND SHOTGUNS OUT THERE.
Nice review🎉
What a great dog. Love the chair review as well.
Thank you very much!
What are the dimensions packed up? And weight? Thanks
3:18 is where you need to go
Could we get a link? $58 is expensive for the amount of money I make, I wanna make sure I'm buying the right one. I've tried several times to leave a comment with a link to the one in my cart, but youtube seems to be unhappy about that cuz when I refresh, it doesn't exist.
www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B08DLG4BTS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title There is also one with arms now. Link here. www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B0BZTXKVZ4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Good to know it can support you and the dog
Adorable dog tho
Hello, thank you for the review. One question; How tall are you? I am around 6'3 and I wanted to know if it would be too small for me.
Im 5'9. I feel the back height would be just enough for you but likely too short in the legs. Your knees would be in your chest or have to be stretched out forward.
@@Northern204Adventures Thank you!
Jesus... Get rid of the dog when filming! It is a pest!
Which version is this? I went on their website and they have a S,M and Large. Not sure if i need the Med or large to get the neck support. EDIT: I think if figured you have the "Large" as per their site and beginning of video shown on amazon. Matches price too. Thanks
Yes large but they also make one now that has arm rests with a cup holder. I really like that one!
@@Northern204Adventures I cant find that one. Can you provide a link please?

Subscribed brother great video cheers you guys 😊
Thanks man.
thank you very much for sharing your camping trip with me , Cheers from Ontario Canada ✌️🇨🇦👋
Thanks for watchin Mark
Can’t wait to see the Russian Bear Tent “Hexagon”
I have it now. Just gotta set it up and givver a try!
Sod the bloody chair - The Star of the show is BUTCH Great review matey, as I have been after a new chair and after watching Butch review this one I'm going to pick one up. Cheers. from the UK.
Right on man! Hey just fyi, naturehike came out with the same chair but with arm rests. I have it now too and highly recommend.
@@Northern204Adventures Thanks for the info But I have just ordered the chair Also as it's to fit in my kayak, having armrests may have made it a pit to bulky. However much appreciate the update. 👍👍
What brand is the gas heater??
Nuwaystove.com Model 4300, 40k btu. I also have the model 4000, 28k btu. Very happy with both of them.
Thanks for your review. Good to see it take some abuse. I need one for a motorcycle camping trip to the Isle of Man TT, so it needs to be lightweight. How much does it weigh?
About 1.5kg or 3.3 lbs. Feels lighter to me. Also they came out with a chair with arms now. Night want to look into that one from naturehike
Yeah, brilliant review mate. You've (and your dog) have sold it to me. 👍
Naturehike has a new one out now with arms. I recommend that one. Same strength and quality, but with arms!
So yes your right they did discontinue they told me the Pentagon, and the extras such as that three layer floor, they said they could special do one but cost a lot, after seeing this video of your I was able to order that Vestibule like you have so very happy I was able to get before they sold out of that, 3 left and gone and my order down to 2, so your video was a big help, keep it up my friend. I think I can have a layered insulated made for the floor cheaper than of of theirs.
Right on man. Glad i could help.
Thanks for the video, I think I'll buy it. I have this chair in my cart, it was a toss up between the short version or this, there's around a pound difference and now that I'm 50 I'll take that pound for comfort lol. Love your dog, a beautiful looking animal with a face full of character lol
Naturehike came out with a green version of this chair with arms!! Get that one. I got it for Christmas and its a wonderful upgrade!! Thanks for watching
@@Northern204Adventures thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out
@@Northern204Adventuresi woulddddd, but it's $100. I hope it comes down in price!
Glamping in the snow??!
Lol not much for snow on this trip but glamping is a gurantee! Thanks for watching
I was thinking about buying one but I feel like I can use my phone
If u can use your phone thats great! Where i go most of the time, very little chance of service or reception.
I have the Pentagon hub, just can't seem to get the insulated extra bottom. I will say it is heavy, 78 pounds so not eas to tug around. Great tent though, just heavy and bulky, cant imagine the hexagon.
The hexagon just arrived. Its noticeably heavier than my pentagon. Cant wait to set it up. The insulated floor for the Pentagon makes a huge difference. Worth the $$.
They don't seem to ever have a pentagon insulated floor in stock. I keep checking but never have one.
@@curtishennen696 is it possible they discontinued the pentagon? I heard a rumor but not sure if its fact.
Thats what I am afraid of leaves my hot tent kind of a miss now, I will either have to come up with my own somehow or try and sell it, I don't have the three layer insulated, kin of makes me not want to use in winter. I can't wait for your video on the hexagon. Hoping to start my camping channel soon. Eidting worries me.
@@curtishennen696 you know what, the floor for the pentagon is nearly the same price as the UP5 floor. And the UP5 floor has 2 flaps to open for ice fishing holes. Just buy that. It will be a bit bigger and stick out past your pentagon walls but that doesnt mean anything in the winter. Its only summer / rain season you want your under layers to be inset. Im selling my UP5 but keeping the 3layer floor for this exact purpose. Same material and insulation value. But 2 flaps for fishing and a bit bigger.
lol, great weight test! Well done review Mate.
Thanks very much
Clear and understandable review! Perfect!
Thanks for watching and commenting
What’s your favourite tent out of all the ones you have?
Really depends how many people are with me. Space is a big deal for me so if im cramped i wont "like" the tent at that time. With just me and my dog, RBM Pentagon hands down. Remote hunting i prefer my Davis wall tent 10x12 canvas. If i go solo winter camping RBM Pentagon. Solo summer, id prefer my Alps Outdoors 2 person. The RBM Pentagon is good in summer as well because it has a vestibule and huge sxreened room that can be attached to it.
Great video, can’t wait to see the Hexagon tent!
Thanks for the comment. I expect the hexagon to arrive in roughly 7 days now. Cant wait!!
Dog likes the chair, too.
Lil yep he sure does. Thank for the comment
Nice trip. Curious as to when you took the trip so I can judge the snow depth out there. Guessing sidesaddle was the portage that was lacking snow. If we had more snow this year I would have tried to get into echo.(fixed autocorrect 🙄)
Feb 16 - 18. Eastern MB just got a couple more inches but now +10 happening. I frequent Western MB as well and just got 10 inches of snow.
@@Northern204Adventures thanks. Looked at a snowdog before I went with a sled. Now I am hooked.
Excellent rig, beautifully outfitted! Your beaver hat saves the day yet again!
it's so great to see your videos again 👍 thanks so much for sharing this , Cheers ✌️
Thanks Mark!!
Very cool set up on the snow dog...congratulations...you must name her....great video!
Great review - I'm off to buy one !!!
Wait! They came out with the same chair but with arms now!. Ill be doing a gear review soon but figured id let you know.
Great dry run video. Hows it held up over the years?
Holding up awesome. I wish i got the bigger one (12×12) but this one still going strong. No issues yet.
Get that dog some boots for the cold
excellent products for camping , thanks for sharing this , Cheers ✌️
I subbed just for the effort guys. I do this to hunt and i know...
Thanks very much!
Where did you get your propane stove from please
Nuwaystove.com model 4300 which is 40k btu
great tent , awesome set up 👍✌️
Thanks Mark!
