i invested on a Naturehike Cycling 1 UL tent for my first ever tent 5y ago as I started going through major hikes here in the Philippines and boy, I have never regretted buying it… up until now, some of my new hiking buddies are amazed on how light weight, sturdy and efficient my NH tent is. Even on a really heavy and windy summit camp downpour, it stood up proudly while keeping the condensation within flowing through the sides and not affecting the inner flynit. however, my girlfriend is now planning to hike with me so i’m planning to upgrade to either the Cloud Up 2 (w/c you recommend) or the Opalus Tunnel Tent soon! :)
I have the Naturehike Spider 1, also called the 'Bicycle tent'. It's just like CloudUp2, but made for 1 person and with a side entrance. Lightweight, with an all mesh inner tent, so I use it only in summer. Brilliant little thing!👍🏼👋🇧🇻😊
@@SummitOrNothing that is exactly what it is👍🏼😊 Hiking and wild camping in this country🇧🇻-nothing but deep woods or rock...pitching a tent can be H*ll...having a self standing tent with a tiny footprint can make or break your camp life. I do like my 2person tents more, coz of the space, but the Spider1 is a lifesaver sometimes😊💃
@@scorpiokitty9745 Thanks for this input. I was looking at the 'Bicycle Tent' as I like the side entrance more than the Cloud series and you get the dual Vestibule. The Cloud vestibule looks tough if you need room to cook in the rain.
The fly doesn't pull away from two of the sides tho. This is an issue for sure if it's rainy and windy. Why? Because when the fly is pressed up against the mess water is likely to run down the fly and into the tent under the right conditions. I do think it's a cool tent except that one flaw but that flaw had prevented me from buying it. It's unfortunate because it's so small and light and I like how it pitches. I wish it had time outs on all the sides or was designed such that the sides don't touch the mesh
Another vote for the bicycle tent. I added tarp grip tie out to help set the fly up better - works fine and taken a few soakings on Dartmoor without any issues.
I love the Cloud Peak 2 - so much space inside, even with two people and loads in the vestibules for cooking in bad weather. I had it up in a gale in the Cheviots and it came through unscathed. A tough third placing there buddy :)
It is a great tent, and as I said, my ranking is based in my own preferences and experiences. The cloud peak certainly is the tent I'd go too to when I need a bomb proof tent or more space, but for the most part, I will choose the lighter options first.. especially in better weather.
The Cloud Up 2 might be the best value tent out there, I know I'm happy with everything about it, and it was your reviews that encouraged me to buy one. Cheers Trev and take care mate 👍🙂
I think the one thing Naturehike needs to consider is to offer a choice of inners so that you can opt for solid fabric over all that mesh if you want more of a cold weather tent.
I have a Naturehike Nebula and it seems that they are not very common, I have loved it and had it out in all weathers. Naturehike stuff is generally very good and value for money. Great video this and thanks for putting the effort in.
Nice review. 3 years already had the cloud up 3p tent and always taking it to rainy/damp jungles every twice a month, still absolutely no issues and the vestibule still water resistant.
I used 4 tents that you've reviewed and I totally agree with how "flexible" Cloud Up 2 is, at first I was thinking that its too "small" for us 2 persons with 2 osprey 40+ liters inside, but we kinda like it as time goes by. The most versatile naturehike tent for me. With proper installation, no water will go inside. In cold weather, only moisture gets in (which is just fine for the price). Will totally get another one if it naturehike will upgrade the cloud up 2 with 2 doors now.
I have 3 of the 5 tents you’ve reviewed Trev and I love them all but I’d have to say for bikepacking the Cloud Up 2 is the best , for hiking camps the Cloud Peak 2 is an excellent budget buy , having the 2 doors makes a hell of a difference and the design is great in high winds . Great comparison video mate , keep up the good work . atvb Sean 👌
Yep - they are great tents, for sure - I do love the Cloud Up 2 - will take the Cloud Peak up again at some point, but must admit, the VIK 1 is amazing fun. I really enjoy that one!
As usual another excellent share of info on tents. So many outdoor adventure people often overlook tents that will perform in bad weather as they opt not to go. Appreciate your treks . TY.
Appreciate this video. Just bought blue cloud up 2. Bit worried, but this clarified a few things. These videos are appreciated 😊 because they are very educational and informative. Thanks , D
Excellent reviews - we just bought the Cloud Up 3 - we do mostly car camping and we are older (63 and 66), so the additional room is good and weight not really an issue. We'll be taking it out for a trip shortly to Cape Split, Nova Scotia. Have watched several of your videos and enjoyed them - thank you - we have subscribed. :)
Thanks Laura - yeah, the Cloud Up 3 is a great tent - and a decent size too. I apologise that not a lot of content gone up recently, life has taken over at present, but I will make a return at some point.
Love the cloud up 2 so much I now have 3, 1 updated version no skirt, 1 updated version with skirt (which I altered by adding peg loops to the skirt itself.. no more flapping and it does a cracking job of preventing midges from getting in under the fly. And I recently bought a 3rd updated one with no skirt which I'm in the middle of altering the inner from 3 season to 4 season by replacing the mesh upper.
Hi. Do you have the 20D or 210T version of Cloud up 2?! Can you get it in colour green? I'm deciding whether to go for the 20D version in green if they have it. I read somewhere that (i can't remember which version) can make the inner floor of the tent more slippery and make your sleeping bag slide around? Do you any comments or experience with that. And if so was it with the 20D or 210T tent?!
@@artbyashley6613 how did you replaced the mesh? I was thinking to upgrade mine to a 4 season one by crafting some sort of cover that would just go ontop of the mesh. But haven't found any decent fabric yet.
Summit or cloud up! You can get clips that fit to the outer fabric to attach guy lines to and also patches which you can glue onto your tent fabric to attach extra guy line points to. Terra Nova for me 👍
I have used my Cloud up2 for some years in all sorts of terrain. Its really good in strong winds and its light. I have mostly taken my dog with me. Only cons is its small for 2p and the floor isnt watertight even with mat.

Not been out in really bad winds partly because I go far away from we’re ever Trev camps, a bit of helpful advice for you all as we all know tornados follow Trev.

They're currently available, Luke. I know when I first went to get one they were mostly out of stock and the companies that had some had ramped the price right up!
@@SummitOrNothing just did a review myself Trev. Give it a watch when you get 5 minutes. I'm the guy that was on the summit of cadair idris shouting summit or nothing with bulldog Badger and Twin peaks lol.
Great Vid Trev, I am on the fence about buying a Cloud Up 2, but I think I am swaying towards a hexpeak. But now after watching this I am even more undecided! Damn You!
Great review and thoughts, i really like your beard look, I have slept for over 8 months in the cloud up 2, it's a beast, it's been up so long the sun is discolouring the fabric, my biggest gripe is not having the little window in the back as on the newer version, bit tight for 2 but amazing for one!
Very great review Mr Trevor but you didn't tell me which tent would stop me from getting caught wild camping in the Peak District! Try to be more thorough with your reviews next time sunshine!!! Great review--I've said it before but I'll say it again: The Cloud Up 2 is my fave and I bought it because of your reviews.
No more push through vents on Vik 1 but the vents remain. And you guy the Vik out from metal rings on the poles. Different but works. I usexmine bikepacking even in summer. Open up the vestibule wide and flip the rear vestibule up for air flow. Great tent. Just bought the Opalus 3 to try now…
I watched a few of your video's when I was looking for information on tents back in 2020. I ended up with the NatureHike Cycling tent which is awesome. A little like the CloudUp but with side access. I got mine in the same darker green as your CloudUp2. I modified it a little for the lines outside and put elastic lace loops on the end of each line so it will always remain tight. Thanks for your info and sharing, it helps a lot of us scouring for information before dropping money on something. 😀👍
I've got the VIK 1 (updated version) and pretty happy as well, but it's just a tent for the summer. Cold nights = moist nights inside. I tested it out at 1°C and had puddles in all 4 corners next morning. But for dry nights above 10°C you've got no issues at all. Rainy summernights are also a bit of an issue, because moisture is also bilding up quickly inside (but it's sealed and watertight. It's my go to tent for lightweigt short-trips but for longer adventures I'll try out the Cloud up 2. I especially love the door, that you can use it as small roof with some sticks or hiking poles. Maybe next year you couldt take a look at the Cloud Up Wing 2 and the Naturehike shared 2. Both look pretty intersting and unfortunately you find nearly no reviews.
I do love the Vik 1 but you are right - by no stretch is it a four season tent - but how much fun throughout the summer? I would love to check out the cloud wing, may have to look into it, for sure! Cheers!
I have the cloud up 2. The door is just too small( I'm only 5'7"). Too difficult to get in and out. And it's too hot in the summer because the mesh screen is more like a plastic which doesn't let any air in. Sets up is easy, and has decent room, but these 2 things are deal kilers for me. I will be looking for something different.
I have a cloud up 2 UL model and its a great tent overall. Its my backup tent now for a few smaller reasons though. Its pretty noisy in heavy wind. No matter how tight I get it, it still flaps around a bit. I'm also not really a fan of the entrance being on the narrow end instead of on the side. You have to crawl around a lot and over bags in the vestibule and stuff. And I wish the inner walls didn't have mesh going so far down. Even on semi warm nights you can feel a breeze on your face while sleeping because the mesh is so low. Otherwise it stays decently warm. The first night I ever used it ended up getting a good rain and the tent performed perfectly right out of the box.
Zipper snagged on my cloud peak too. I think it's fixable but need to unstitch a bit, good thing there's two doors. Also, the later models don't have the inner zipper going on the bottom, you have to open it all the way unless you want to high-jump yourself in. Otherwise, no complaints, a very very good tent and quite nice to pitch up. Now I'm looking for something for the winter, kind of like the Naturehike Opalus, but haven't made up my mind yet.
Hi Trev, first of all I'd like to thank you for your honesty in your videos. Any chance for reviewing Naturehike Cirrus 2 People Tent? I am very very close to buy it. Also, greetings from Turkey.
I just ordered the cloud up 3 cause I'm taking a girl camping and needed something luxurious. Found one on ebay new for only $103 in green. Might be the old version tho not sure
i have the cloud up 1 and i absolutely love it just orderd a sleeping bag off them too it has not arived yet ,i use my cloud up 1 for camping in the rockys
I have cloud peak 2 15 d light weight version T zip and Targa 2 , the targa 2 survived a storm high above the kirkstone inn and then on a campsite in between kirkstone and paterdale during the same storm that destroyed at least five other tents and brought down trees and power lines the Targa survived without a scratch , a good tip from karen in the wild is always ensure the velcro flap at the bottom of the doors on cloud peak 2 are fastened ,it stops the zips from doing what yours did , the zips seem to break more frim rough handling and trying to force the zip sides to line up than from wind but they are a weak point thats for sure .
All great tents with good and bad points. I find the cloud up 2 quite narrow when sitting up. The Vik 2 is simple and up in seconds. Wee bit of condensation in the morning. I could feel the cloud up airy and fresh when sitting up and holding the heat better when lying down. The Vik 2 was the opposite but the headroom in that thing is phenomenal. All great tents tbh it’s just weighing it up and try not to end up with plastic boxes filled with tents…..oops
Yea - you make some valid pioints there Derek. The Vik 1 is lovely and light if you know its gonna be warm and dry, the Cloud Up 2 is a great tent, but I know what you mean about narrow, its one of the only Naturehike tents without a cross member. Also, once that side wind hits it, its not much fun
Great review Trev, I can only common the peak two, thought it was a great solid tent, this weekend was the first time I used it, with stood the wind and didn’t leak, my only complain is the qualifying the zips, kept snagging every time I opened closed the tent
Great info, but You stated that you bought the Dark Green version of Cloud Up 2 for stealth camping 🤔 but you then put High Vis yellow guy lines on it.😂
@@SummitOrNothing I have the Mongar 2 and also the vestibule. Have a review on my channel as well. So far I am very pleased with it and would love to hear what your thoughts are after you trial it in the wild, as you do.
@@racerx3669 Thanks for the concern. I have not yet camped in this tent in any sort of wind but this review of a similar tent from Naturehike suggests that it might not be too bad. There is no actual review of the Mongar 2 in the wind. ua-cam.com/video/PNbl1M-3xkw/v-deo.html
Thanks for the reviews. Much as I'm really tempted by the cloud peaks at 210cm in length there's not realistic options. I don't know if it's just me but tents don't seem to be designed for people over 6ft. Realistically with a sleeping bag it's even longer...
Yea - I am just under 6ft, and sleep curled up so not an issue for me, but many say how it isnt ideal for them. Sometimes they work better if you set up diagonally in a smaller tent - not ideal I know, but I have done it in the past!
I made the mistake of getting the 1 man version, cloud up 2. As on the diagrams it had the bigger vestibule, still not a ideal cook area! Wish I had of got your recommendation instead of trying to be clever. Settled on the phox11v2 now🥰
Hi! Would you recommend the cloud up 2, 3 or the mongar 2 for 2 people? Most times i am just going to use it myself, but that might only be on short trips, while i am going to use it with another person for longer trips. Is the cloud up 2, too small for my situation, and if; do i get the most out of the mongar 2 og the cloud up 3? Nice videos😊
Love my Cloud Up 2, bought it after watching the vids here showing it getting completely battered by the wind. Also bought the Opalus 2 but I would rate that lower than the Cloud Up 2.
Hi. Do you have the 20D or 210T version of Cloud up 2?! Can you get it in colour green? I'm deciding whether to go for the 20D version in green if they have it.

@@smokie33 I have the 20D in forest green. As for the sleeping mat/pad slipping, yes it can be a bit slippy when not pitched on the flat. But, the pad material can have a lot to do with that too. No tent in this price range is ever perfect and there will be compromises to be made. However, out of the 3 tents I own this is still my favourite.
Thank you Mr Nath. Interesting and useful. Why no Lanshans in here may I ask? Not a fan of trekking pole tents? Genuinely interested purely because people seem to rave about them so much. Love my Vik2, just bought Lanshan 2 Pro.

is the 10D version of the cloud up 2 as resistance to wind concerning pole stability, movements of the tent (inner and outter) as the 20D version of the cloud up 2?
I didnt use it im afraid.. I raffled it for charity unspoilt. Also, as it was last year I filmed that review I couldnt really remember it clearly enough to comment

Great list Trev👍 would you like a Naturehike Mongar 2 to test ? I'll have them in stock around the end of the month
I love mine, the mesh inner means a warmer sleeping bag and the colour of mine is funky but it's a great tent 👍
Hmmm. Yea, ive not tried a monger yet. What kind of price are you selling them on for and which colours will you have available?
@@SummitOrNothing I'll send you one for free ,light grey , similar to VIK 1
Another tent review on the horizon by the sound of it 👍
@@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301 ah wow... contact me via email mate and we can discuss it further. Cheers!
I have just bought the cloud up 2 based on your previous review and videos for me and my 6 year son to go wild camping on Dartmoor.
Brilliant to hear Paul. Hope you both have some great adventures in it.

Cloud up 3 for one person,that’s absolutely nuts,
I watched a few of your video's when I was looking for information on tents back in 2020. I ended up with the NatureHike Cycling tent which is awesome. A little like the CloudUp but with side access. I got mine in the same darker green as your CloudUp2. I modified it a little for the lines outside and put elastic lace loops on the end of each line so it will always remain tight. Thanks for your info and sharing, it helps a lot of us scouring for information before dropping money on something. 😀👍
That's cool that you have made some mods to your tent. Thanks for commenting, glad that you enjoy the videos!
Looking at lots of reviews on the Cloud Peak 2 I came across several complaints about snagging and failing zips.
Can't really decide which one to buy, it's between cloud up 2 and star river 2 now, the star river is a bit larger inside I think🤔
I've got the VIK 1 (updated version) and pretty happy as well, but it's just a tent for the summer. Cold nights = moist nights inside. I tested it out at 1°C and had puddles in all 4 corners next morning. But for dry nights above 10°C you've got no issues at all. Rainy summernights are also a bit of an issue, because moisture is also bilding up quickly inside (but it's sealed and watertight. It's my go to tent for lightweigt short-trips but for longer adventures I'll try out the Cloud up 2. I especially love the door, that you can use it as small roof with some sticks or hiking poles.
Maybe next year you couldt take a look at the Cloud Up Wing 2 and the Naturehike shared 2. Both look pretty intersting and unfortunately you find nearly no reviews.
I do love the Vik 1 but you are right - by no stretch is it a four season tent - but how much fun throughout the summer? I would love to check out the cloud wing, may have to look into it, for sure! Cheers!
I have the cloud up 2. The door is just too small( I'm only 5'7"). Too difficult to get in and out. And it's too hot in the summer because the mesh screen is more like a plastic which doesn't let any air in.
Sets up is easy, and has decent room, but these 2 things are deal kilers for me. I will be looking for something different.
Thank you for the overview! Which of these do you think is best suited for tall people?
I have a cloud up 2 UL model and its a great tent overall. Its my backup tent now for a few smaller reasons though. Its pretty noisy in heavy wind. No matter how tight I get it, it still flaps around a bit. I'm also not really a fan of the entrance being on the narrow end instead of on the side. You have to crawl around a lot and over bags in the vestibule and stuff. And I wish the inner walls didn't have mesh going so far down. Even on semi warm nights you can feel a breeze on your face while sleeping because the mesh is so low. Otherwise it stays decently warm. The first night I ever used it ended up getting a good rain and the tent performed perfectly right out of the box.
Great video and review, not quite sure you can say they are ultralight though
Yea, perhaps lightweight... the vik 1 is really light though.
Is there a Chinese tent with shortened poles for bikepacking?
Zipper snagged on my cloud peak too. I think it's fixable but need to unstitch a bit, good thing there's two doors. Also, the later models don't have the inner zipper going on the bottom, you have to open it all the way unless you want to high-jump yourself in. Otherwise, no complaints, a very very good tent and quite nice to pitch up. Now I'm looking for something for the winter, kind of like the Naturehike Opalus, but haven't made up my mind yet.
Yea, I've been looking at the oculus too, but perhaps should try another brand... my tent shelf is a bit like a naturehoke warehouse 😅🤣
Interesting comparison, Trev!👍 Also proves just how bad you've got the tent buying bug 😁 All the best👍
Haha... all in the name of the channel, Des lol
Hi Trev, first of all I'd like to thank you for your honesty in your videos. Any chance for reviewing Naturehike Cirrus 2 People Tent? I am very very close to buy it. Also, greetings from Turkey.
On the vik 1 there are 3 eyelets on the poles for guy rope. 2 at one end and 1 at tuvver
Great review!
I just ordered the cloud up 3 cause I'm taking a girl camping and needed something luxurious. Found one on ebay new for only $103 in green. Might be the old version tho not sure
i have the cloud up 1 and i absolutely love it just orderd a sleeping bag off them too it has not arived yet ,i use my cloud up 1 for camping in the rockys
Yea they're fantastic tents. I have one of their down sleeping bags.. think they do a mummy down too.
I have cloud peak 2 15 d light weight version T zip and Targa 2 , the targa 2 survived a storm high above the kirkstone inn and then on a campsite in between kirkstone and paterdale during the same storm that destroyed at least five other tents and brought down trees and power lines the Targa survived without a scratch , a good tip from karen in the wild is always ensure the velcro flap at the bottom of the doors on cloud peak 2 are fastened ,it stops the zips from doing what yours did , the zips seem to break more frim rough handling and trying to force the zip sides to line up than from wind but they are a weak point thats for sure .
All great tents with good and bad points. I find the cloud up 2 quite narrow when sitting up. The Vik 2 is simple and up in seconds. Wee bit of condensation in the morning. I could feel the cloud up airy and fresh when sitting up and holding the heat better when lying down. The Vik 2 was the opposite but the headroom in that thing is phenomenal. All great tents tbh it’s just weighing it up and try not to end up with plastic boxes filled with tents…..oops
Yea - you make some valid pioints there Derek. The Vik 1 is lovely and light if you know its gonna be warm and dry, the Cloud Up 2 is a great tent, but I know what you mean about narrow, its one of the only Naturehike tents without a cross member. Also, once that side wind hits it, its not much fun
What tent do you suggest for 2p motorbike winter trip? (Rain, Wind, ecc)
Cloud Peak 2p or Cloud Up 3p? (They are similar weight/packing)
Great Top 5 Trev!
Cheers Max.
Great review Trev, I can only common the peak two, thought it was a great solid tent, this weekend was the first time I used it, with stood the wind and didn’t leak, my only complain is the qualifying the zips, kept snagging every time I opened closed the tent
Yea those pesky bloody zips... kept doing the same to me too. Glad it held up though mate! Cheers!
I won star river 2 off you lads in comp great tent and had a small bottle of captain morgan inside cheers lads
So well done 'Summit or Nothing" for the lovely 'extra'
what about the Mongar?
Whats the lightest naturehike 2p tent?
I had a cloud up 2 and now a Naturehike Nebula 2 both great tents
what do you think about Nebula? is it windproof as cloud up 2? I cannot decide between nebula and cloud peak...
Hi! I'm planning to buy naturehike tent for 2 person. Which is better Cloud up 2 or P-series?
I have the cloud up 1 couldn’t ask for anything better
Just got the cloud up 2 for a single lerson backpacking tent. I hope it will do as well as everyone says
Thank you very much
Great videos man 👍👍 What do you think about the space for 2 adults with gears in the cloud Up 2 tent? We are 160-170 cm, not too big :)
Great info, but You stated that you bought the Dark Green version of Cloud Up 2 for stealth camping 🤔 but you then put High Vis yellow guy lines on it.😂
Valid point 😂
I want to buy a cloud up 2 but cant decide between 20D and 210T do you have a preference?
I’m 6’5” and have decided on the star river 2 for the very reason you don’t like it , it’s spacious.
I have Mongar purple 20d 2person good .
Bloody good stuff as always.
Cheers Arran.
Great review trev, i have the mongar 2, love it, i see you've been offered a free test in one, don't think you'll be disappointed, stay safe 👍
Yea, will be interesting to have a look at that one. Always exciting to try another tent 🤣
@@SummitOrNothing I have the Mongar 2 and also the vestibule. Have a review on my channel as well. So far I am very pleased with it and would love to hear what your thoughts are after you trial it in the wild, as you do.
@@GrumpyGoat my elixir 3 is heavy, but fairs well in weather. i would worry about a mongar 2 in wind.
@@racerx3669 Thanks for the concern. I have not yet camped in this tent in any sort of wind but this review of a similar tent from Naturehike suggests that it might not be too bad. There is no actual review of the Mongar 2 in the wind.
ua-cam.com/video/PNbl1M-3xkw/v-deo.html
@@GrumpyGoat oh there is. i remember one here comparing it to an elixir. maybe search keyword elixir as well to find.
Thanks for the reviews. Much as I'm really tempted by the cloud peaks at 210cm in length there's not realistic options. I don't know if it's just me but tents don't seem to be designed for people over 6ft. Realistically with a sleeping bag it's even longer...
Yea - I am just under 6ft, and sleep curled up so not an issue for me, but many say how it isnt ideal for them. Sometimes they work better if you set up diagonally in a smaller tent - not ideal I know, but I have done it in the past!
Would you consider testing the Cloud Wing 2?
Hey guys, and what about cirrus 2? If cloud up is so good as you say, cirrus would be great also, right? Some people say it’s is even better.
I had a sneaking suspicion it would be the cloud up 2 🤘🍻
Tou knew it.
You should try the Opalus 3
Have you tried the nature hike Cirrus 2 ? It uses 3 poles and is fairly light.
I made the mistake of getting the 1 man version, cloud up 2. As on the diagrams it had the bigger vestibule, still not a ideal cook area!
Wish I had of got your recommendation instead of trying to be clever.
Settled on the phox11v2 now🥰
The phoxx 2 is a great tent for the money too. I had one and also gave it away to subscrbers... sometimes I wish I still had it.
Really nice top, so usefull 👌
Thanks Sebastian.
Hi!
Would you recommend the cloud up 2, 3 or the mongar 2 for 2 people? Most times i am just going to use it myself, but that might only be on short trips, while i am going to use it with another person for longer trips. Is the cloud up 2, too small for my situation, and if; do i get the most out of the mongar 2 og the cloud up 3?
Nice videos😊
Do you have any experience with the Naturehike Bike tent? Thank you.
Did you have the Mongar at this point and where would it go on this list please?
Love my Cloud Up 2, bought it after watching the vids here showing it getting completely battered by the wind. Also bought the Opalus 2 but I would rate that lower than the Cloud Up 2.
Brilliant! Glad to hear that you enjoy it too.
Brilliant! Glad to hear that you enjoy it too.
Hi. Do you have the 20D or 210T version of Cloud up 2?! Can you get it in colour green?
I'm deciding whether to go for the 20D version in green if they have it. I read somewhere that (i can't remember which version) can make the inner floor of the tent more slippery and make your sleeping bag slide around? Do you any comments or experience with that. And if so was it with the 20D or 210T tent?!
@@smokie33 I have the 20D in forest green. As for the sleeping mat/pad slipping, yes it can be a bit slippy when not pitched on the flat. But, the pad material can have a lot to do with that too. No tent in this price range is ever perfect and there will be compromises to be made. However, out of the 3 tents I own this is still my favourite.
Hi
Which is the upgraded version on Aliexpress, there are so many versions?
Can you compare cloud up 2 vs mongar?
Rippages. Love it.
🤣🤣
Thank you Mr Nath. Interesting and useful. Why no Lanshans in here may I ask? Not a fan of trekking pole tents? Genuinely interested purely because people seem to rave about them so much. Love my Vik2, just bought Lanshan 2 Pro.
This is just my Naturehike Tents ranked. If tou scroll back through my channel you will see a top 5 vid from last year for my tents across the board.. you will find the lanshan in there! Thanks for watching!
@@SummitOrNothing Ah, just your Naturehike tents - like in the video title then!! DOH! Apologies, but thanks for the response. I'll watch that previous vid - interested to see what you thought. Keep on camping 🙂
is the 10D version of the cloud up 2 as resistance to wind concerning pole stability, movements of the tent (inner and outter) as the 20D version of the cloud up 2?
Thoughts on the Cloud up 1?
I'm planning to buy a NH tent need recommendation sir, i am torn between NH Cloudwing2 , NH Spider, and NH Cloudup 2 20D. thanks alot
Is that tent comfortably for two persons? Or is it just for one person?
Seen thee cloud up wing looks interesting and also I have seen a Cuban fibre of it. But can't find many reviews
I'll look out for them. Cheers.
What is best for me I'm 6ft2
Hi, great video reviews. How did you attach the additional tie line to the back vent at the naturehike cloud up 2?
I just tied it to a a loop by the back vent I think. The new versions come with the extra loop.
@@SummitOrNothingthanks, will give it a go.
Curious that you didn't rank the Tagar 2. Have you had it out on the moor yet? Would love to hear a report/review this summer.
I didnt use it im afraid.. I raffled it for charity unspoilt. Also, as it was last year I filmed that review I couldnt really remember it clearly enough to comment
