Thread: Bushbuck Tribus 3 person tent

Hi all,

Has anyone got experience with the above mentioned tent?
Temped to take advantage of their sale on at the moment.

A couple of things I’d like to know:

Any issues with leaking etc?
From what I’ve seen they are a reasonably big footprint. For a 3 person lightweight tent with awning, are they excessively large or as you’d expect? I’m concerned it may limit ability to find campsites having to cater for such a large tent or am I overthinking it?

I like the idea of an awning for cooking and gear storage but can’t decide if this is impractical for many situations. Would be used in the bush, and on the tops.

Won’t always be used for 3 people but would appreciate the extra room for 2 of us as long as it won’t limit options for finding campsites. Weight of the 3 person is not an issue.

Have used a hunting bivvy mostly in the past which is fairly easy to find a spot to pitch, and also borrowed an MSR carbon reflex 2man for just myself (mate had one also) in fiordland for 10 days.

TL;DR - bushbuck yeah or nah? 3man to cover any 2-3 person hunts or buy 2 x smaller 2mans and forfeit gear and cooking space?

Cheers,
Jamie
