Learn how to make a withie - nature’s ready-made cord!
A withie is a natural cordage that is made from a flexible branch. It is processed using a “pedaling a bicycle” style motion with your hands that twists the fibers of the branch. A wide variety of different shrubs and trees can be used. I’ve had success making withies with hazel, willow, cedar, birch, alder, and many others. Using a withie is a great way to lash a tripod in a pinch.

    I’ve been using a Hubba Hubba NX2 for four years now and love it - I have the dark green coloured fly and the tent always looks nice when pitched. The tent has only been used in 3 seasons but has stood up to heavy rain and some gusty winds. I have no experience of Nemo tents but they look very good to me. I guess I’d be very happy to own either 👍🏻🙂

    Our Hubba Hubba delaminated rain fly with pinholes leaks like a sieve. MSR made no apology or explanation. We did not abuse this tent. We have other tents by Northface and REI that do not leak. Do not buy MSR tents unless you want poor materials and poor customer service.

      Yes it was. In fact, it was just used this last winter on several trips with the coldest being right around 0 Fahrenheit and getting about 3-4” of snowfall. Tent performed fine and ventilated well. I wouldn’t be concerned using it for the occasional winter trip. I would opt for a 4 season tent with heavier snow load (especially if it’s a wet snow), and if you are experiencing any significant winds.

    Recently bought the Nemo Dagger and was told that the MSR Hubba Hubba is a good side choice but could only get it second hand now. So far I would say I made the right choice with the Nemo Dagger tent. It looks great, easy to pitch, guy lines are not just hanging and are many points to do, storage tub to keep your gear dry, and the space. Sure it is more heavier but I can deal with that with the quality to life features it offers.

I'm extremely satisfied. No splintering at all, very lightweight & great high wind performance. Overall I'm very pleased with the tent.

    Hi there, thanks for the review. I'm leaning towards the Nemo. However I have a question if you do not mind. Some reviews say that the part of the bathtube that is exposed due to the rainfly being to high in the middle of the two corners, can experience leaking and moisture after heavy raining. Other reviews say that after heavy raining remained dry. What has being your experience regarding this issue? Thanks!

      @@SneakyCaleb I deal in ounces, their are 32 onces in 2 pounds. Thats equal to 20 pocket knives, 1 back packing chair/book, 1 Days Full load out of food, Sleeping bag/Pad, Days water 30oz, Hatchet/survival knife. If one is going to spend $400 on a tent for back packing, weight is your number one consideration, the new standard is 2 pounds, not 4 pounds. In the 4 pound range currently you can find plenty of solid wall tents very well under $200, why? Cause 4 pounds is no longer the standard. Its not that the NEMO or take for instance the Hubahuba are bad tents and they may be a good option where I was camping in snow, where I would be leaving somethings home and a heavier tent would be useful.

      Thank you! I faced the same dilemma. Personally, after handling the two and seeing the Dagger in action I am glad I made that choice. The additional guy lines provide extra rigidity in heavy winds - an essential being out of the tree-line. However, cost and availability of the tents may prove to be deciding factors in your decision. Keep in mind materials too, you may like the new proprietary blend NEMO produced bringing the best of both worlds that nylon and polyester can provide maintaining less stretch and great waterproofing! Hope this helps. You really can’t make a wrong choice between these two though!

      The Nemo has more guy outs on the tent, but I do not see anymore coverage with the rain fly over the bathtub floor than the Hubba Hubba. Both tents probably will get some splashback in torrential downpours, but there may be more protection from splashback getting in through the mesh on the doors with the Hubba Hubba, since the fabric on the MSR goes higher than the Nemo on the doors of the inner tent. The MSR has a lower profile than the Nemo making it not catch the wind as much. The Easton poles on the MSR are very flexible in strong wind won't break or bend like aluminum.
