"One Pole Tent M" is recommended for the following people.

Tent Size
DOD's "One Pole Tent" comes in three sizes: S, M, and L.
This review is for M, which can accommodate 5 people, but S can accommodate 3 people and L can accommodate up to 8 people. (From the official website)
However, placing a cot in the tent will reduce the number of people who can sleep, so we recommend that you purchase with plenty of time to spare.
In reality, S is for solo use, M is for 2 adults, and L is for 5 adults.
Accessories
DOD tents come with pegs, so even beginners can use the tent immediately.
The pegs that come with the tent are often not durable or difficult to peg, but DOD's accessories are also high quality! The pegs are easy to use, so you can set up with confidence.
For hard ground, prepare forged pegs.
Attractiveness of DOD "One Pole Tent M"
Here, I will tell you the charm of "One Pole Tent M" that I always use. There is no doubt that you will want "One Pole Tent M"!
Easy to set up
The most attractive feature of DOD's one-pole tent is that it is easy to set up.
There are few pegs and only one pole is used!
If you get used to it, even one person can set it up in 10 minutes!
This is the reason why I bought this tent.
The 2-room tent I used before took more than 2 hours to set up, so it's a big difference compared to that!
You don't have to waste time and energy ♪
Compact to carry
Since there is only one pole, I am happy with the weight and compact size that even women can easily carry!
It is not bulky when loaded in a car.
It is helpful because it can be easily stored when folding the tent and putting it away in the carry bag.
Stylish design
Sophisticated design is the reason why I am addicted to DOD!
The one-pole tent has a stylish triangular shape and a cute rabbit logo!
You'll want to collect the other gear in rabbits too♪
Also, DOD has a unique name!
“Kamaboko Tent”, “Hanpen in the Sky”, “Takibi Babi Debu” and other product names that you will never forget once you hear them. You'll fall in love with gear with a lovely name, don't you think?
Attractiveness of DOD "One Pole Tent M"
I introduced the one-pole tent because it is easy to set up. Here we will see how to set it up. You can see how easy it is to set up.
Since it does not require any force, even women can easily set it up.
Easy to set up
Compact to carry
You can use it under a tarp during the daytime in summer, even in this state with good ventilation.
Stylish design
Align the inner seat with the entrance.
It is easier to hook the pegs to the same thing as the inner sheet. There will be 2-3 places where you can't put it tight, so let's peg down separately.
If you are short, it is better to put the fly sheet on first and then set up the pole.
The ropes don't need to be pegged down on days when the wind isn't strong, but we recommend pegging them down to keep the tent cool and taut.
How to set up 'One Pole Tent M'
1.Spread the inner tent on the ground and peg it down
Since there is no skirt, the wind comes in from under the tent.
The inner tent is mesh and well ventilated, so it is suitable for use in spring and summer, but it is cold in winter.
However, if you make the skirt by hand with a plastic sheet, there is no problem even in the middle of winter.
Vinyl sheets are inexpensively available at home centers and on the internet, and can be easily attached by clipping them.
2.Stand up the assembled pole in the middle of the inner tent
Be careful on rainy days.
Since it is not protected by the vestibule, rain will enter the tent directly when the entrance is opened.
This can be solved by connecting tarps together!
If you use the optional item "Tongari Hat", you can easily connect the "One Pole Tent M" and the tarp. In addition, it is recommended because the distance between the tarp and the tent can be set close.
I use it in conjunction with "someday's tarp".
If you connect the tarp and tent someday, it will look stylish and it will be a must-have item because it can also be used as a sunshade!
Precautions for 'One Pole Tent M'
If you use it as it is, it will be cold in winter
It is an essential item to use the tent carefully for a long time.
There are tree branches and pebbles lying around the campsite.
If you lay the inner tent directly, there is a high possibility that it will be damaged or torn.
Therefore, you can protect the tent well by laying the ground sheet first.
There is no front room, so rain will enter
This naming is also interesting!
The usage is also unique, and it is easier to open and close by attaching it to the part where the zipper of the tent is pulled.
Another reason I like this product is that it's easy to find where to pull the zipper on the tent.
I always use a zipper to open and close the tent, but I always couldn't find where to open it immediately, but since I started using the carrot pull pull, that stress has disappeared.
There is also a black one, but I recommend the orange one because it is easier to find if it stands out♪
Useful optional items
The tent is an important gear that competes for 1st and 2nd place in camping.
If you want to enjoy camping, you want to prepare a special tent!
We definitely recommend the DOD "One Pole Tent", which is stylish, light and easy to set up!
In addition to being highly functional, the cost performance is outstanding!
Please get the DOD "One Pole Tent" and enjoy a comfortable and stylish camping♪
