Howdy folks, Ben from Snowys again. I'm here today with the Oztrail Ultimate
All-Weather Stretcher in a single size. This stretcher is based on their easy fold
stretcher design and they've added a protective upper on it. This is really
popular because of their all-in-one design, you got stretcher bed, so
somewhere to sleep and weather protection all incorporated into one. I
want to pull it out of the bag and show you how to set it up today. I've never
set one up before, so we're going to learn together. First I'll pull
everything out, we'll see what comes in the bag. Got the main stretcher and inner
tent, so this is the stretcher with the mesh attached, it's actually sewn on to
the top of it. I'm pretty sure we'll find out when we set it up but I'm pretty
sure that's an under bed shelf. Got the fly sheet, it'll obviously get thrown
over the top afterwards, some pegs and a few guy ropes in there and the fibreglass
poles that form the structure of the inner mesh tent. The first thing I need to
do is set the stretcher up, so let's do that. So we can see that folded out
pretty easily. It's an all-in-one set up so you push it
down until these uprights seat into the feet at the bottom here, gives it a nice
sturdy base to sit on or lie on. So you can see attached to the upper is this
mesh tent. We can't detach that but there's
facilities along the top here to add holes, essentially a dome tent on top of
the stretcher. So next step is to feed those poles through. There's actually
four poles that come with it, there's the two long cross poles, which cross over
the middle like a standard dome tent. They slip through nice and easily,
there's little pockets in the corners there that the poles slide into. And then
these little short ones, they just tuck in the ends here just to keep these
poles apart without that they tend to collapse up a little bit. And that's the
inner set up so we could sleep in that on a nice warm night, bug proof sleeping
arrangements, it's pretty comfortable. But what I'm going to do now is throw the
fly over the top, you can see here there's a door on each side, so they'll
actually create a vestibule on each side. So the fly throws over the top pretty
easily. There's four little Velcro attachment points in the corners,
apart from that it just pegs to the ground around the base. There's four guy
ropes, one on each corner so in really bad weather you could peg them
out I suppose. Now these side awnings, there's an entrance on each side so this
is, this is duplicated on the other side. These actually have brass eyelets in
them so if you wanted to take your setup a little bit further you can put two
upright poles and set these up as an awning on each side. There's two guy
ropes that, extra guy ropes that come with the kit, so you need to add two
more if you wanted to set both awnings up. So there's one last bit of setup that
I want to show you and that's this, notice it comes with this mesh panel.
This little plastic hooks in the corner, this is there under stretch a shelf or
under bed shelf. Below the stretcher here, there are little plastic eyelets is for,
two on this side two on the other side this simply clips in underneath the bed
here so you've got a little bit of off ground storage. So that's all there is to
the setup of the Ultimate All-Weather Stretcher. That was pretty
straightforward, the hardest bit was putting the pegs in around the base. Pack
up I assume is going to be almost as easy as setup, we just reverse
everything we've done. I'm going to pull it all apart, pack it down and we'll see
how easily it goes back in the bag.
The padded foam mattress in the bottom makes it sort of want to puff out a
little bit so bit of tension on that, that squeezes in the bag pretty well.
That's the Oztrail Ultimate All-Weather Stretcher, that's the single size we set
