NO, Dan Becker! Subscribing guarantees you'll NEVER lose another left sock to those Underpants Gnomes living in your dryer ! (OBOZ brand shoes own the no blister market.)
One that to note that I don't see covered often is how high up the fly sits on the Nemo. I have this tent and love it in fair weather. Very light and just the right size for 1 plus a dog. But, look closely at the fly configuration compared to the Tiger Wall. In addition to the high cutout on the back of the Hornet, the entire fly perimeter sits 6-8 inches off the ground. The tiger wall can nearly touch the ground. In a hard rain, you will get a ton of rain and mud bounce up under the fly of the Nemo. Those vestibules where you have your gear stashed now have even less usability. I really wish the fly was just a tad larger to provide full coverage when needed.
that's what keeps me from buying it. I love everything else. If they simply changed the fly, then maybe just put a vent at the top, it would be a done deal!
I’m glad you brought up the height of nylon walls versus height of mesh walls. I have a two person tent with mesh that goes way down (Marmot Ajax). I spent a windy night on Angel Island in the SF Bay in it some years ago. Woke up with my tent full of sand! My next tent will have way less mesh
yes hopefully no crazy methheads or serial killer sees your big flashy tent and come visit you in the middle of the night.... Snugpak all the way. they even got a Multicam fly tarp for the Ionosphere now.
Kevin Tieu thanks for asking. Yes I prayed for Dan and his family. It was not a very long prayer, something along the lines of “God please protect Dan and his family and keep them safe and comforted.” As a rule of best practice, I find that if I don’t pray for that person as soon as I say I will, it winds up becoming a phrase out of habit rather than me following through. Granted, I’m not perfect, and sometimes I forget, but I try not to let it be just a phrase that I say and it actually means nothing!
We own the BA Blacktail 3P tent. We are not ultralight people (longest hike/camp are 8 day trails) so the just above 5 lbs weight is not concerning comparing the price point for lighter 3 season tents. In AU $$ the tent was $299 with the footprint being an additional $70. No complaints with the tent. My one complaint is with Australia - no one here has the zenbivy nor have heard of it.
Everyone should look at/consider the Dan Durston Ultamid series--found on Mass Drop. About $200, 31 oz, double wall sil-nylon or poly--can't remember which. What I am waiting for is a tarp that will set up easily for the ground AND the hammock.
Dan, I think this is the BEST video about tents or gear that you've ever done! ( I'm keeping my Copper Spur) Loved how you compared the door types! You ROCKED this!
Should also mention, if you work healthcare or first response Marmot is offering a one time 40% off any full price item. As far as I know that applies to tents as well
Have been using a Mont Moondance 2p for a few seasons now - essentially bombproof!! Properly built for Aussie conditions 👌🏼 Ecstatic with this tent and would love to see you give either the Mont Moondance OR One Planet Goondie tents some love! Enjoying the channel Dan 👏🏼
My brother and sis pitched in and bought a TigerWall UL3 for 30% off from the REI sale as a wedding gift for our honeymoon in September. Can't wait to try it out. Should be delivered this Thursday.
After watching I am happy I passed on the Nemo Hornet 2P, and got the x-mid 2p... little bit heavier but a lot more tent. At $280, it is a fantastic deal.
Still out of my budget. Would love to see tents that are under 200.00 and may be one that is not always recognized by the hiker community. Lanshan, Naturehike, etc.
I recently just came across your channel and I have to say it is now one of my favorites. Thank you for speaking your mind on products and giving a real review!
I picked up the North Face - Sequoia 2 person tent for only 120 at my local sporting goods store. It has been an excellent backpacking companion. I like the more configurable vestibule that it has compared to the tents in this video.
Thanks for the info. I have been day hiking or backpacking cabin to cabin in the Porcupine Mountains SP, but am taking the plunge into tenting this year, and am shopping for a 2 person backpack tent (IRNP). Again, thanks
It’s weird, but between my old model Hornet 2P and my newer REI Quarter Dome SL 1P.... I prefer my Quarterdome. Similar tent design, but the QD has a much larger vestibule, I found ventilation to be superior, and it has a bit more shoulder room. It’s shockingly roomy on the inside (I’m 6’2” sleeping on a long Xlite). Same weight. And it’s cheaper. There is little I find I miss about the Hornet, except for maybe the Jake’s feet making setup really easy. Then again, the QD can be setup fly first with a footprint, and doesn’t drip water every time you open the fly door....
Just replaced my old family tent with the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL3, so excited. Next year I will be able to invest in a smaller solo tent for a solo hike. I'll keep these in mind!
That's a good comparison Dan, thanks! Can see clearly the differences and pros/cons of each. Good luck with your home town. One day soon this madness will be over. In the meantime keep looking after yourself and your loved ones. ATB, Mark. 👍
I can’t understand why the tents are so brightly coloured. Whenever I go bikepacking im always looking for a secluded place to camp where I won’t be seen and the last thing I want is a bright yellow tent with a white fly sheet. What were BA thinking? It’s like they make these tents to look good on instagram and not for actual camping.
I own the Tiger Wall 2 and it’s nice but just know when the fly gets wet the zippers are not the best. Be gentle. Other than that I love it. I use it solo. I got mine on sale at REI for 300.
Don’t blame you for taking your family away for a bit. Good review! I have the Tiger Wall 3 Platinum and love it! Super lightweight but have to watch that too. About the same weight as the two but a “three” person.
Couldn’t agree more, I just picked another ul backpacking tent (ended up going for the more pricey copper spur) but regardless of price these were the other three I seriously considered!
If I hadn't found a BA Copper Spur HV UL2 on sale last year, I would have gotten the Tiger Wall, I love my side entry tents. I went for a long time having single entry on the end style tent, but as I travel through middle age, the side entry tents are seemingly more roomy and easier to get out of in the middle of the night when nature calls, haha. I'm a huge fan of Big Agnes gear, I have multiple sleeping bags, sleeping pads in their brand. Great products:-)
Wish we could have met when I was visiting Kenosha. I went there quite often when I was living in Great Lakes. Im a midwesterner at heart(grew up in MI) but love the videos!
I'm not positive, but my marmot limelight 4p doesn't have color coordination, but does have red tabs on one side that mach up with red tabs on the fly, and it looks like there may have been similar red tabs on the superalloy to help orient. Just observing, great video as always!
I enjoy your content and have been subscribed for a long time. I am so sorry to hear that your family has been effected by the recent unrest. Getting away for a little bit is a good idea until things sort themselves out. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
I hope you and your family are safe. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I imagine that this much unrest could be sustained in the US. Be safe, be kind, help others.
Thanks Dan. Just bought the Big Anges, currently on sale at REI. I've been wanting a better tent and respect your reviews. The sale pushed me into action!
I'm just getting into backpacking, how did the Big Angnes do for you since you bought it? That seemed like the best of the three to start with, but it'd be nice to hear from someone who's been using it for 2 years.
The Marmot should be colour coded. There should be little red tabs on each corner of one side of each the tent and fly. They are visible in your video. Are those on all the corners? They shouldn't be....(I use the Catalist2 and that's how it is)
Here's hoping you and your family find some peace of mind away from Kenosha, and that your town gets through this difficult time. Love your videos - All the best!
I love my 2 pro. I will say that for winter, id rather have another tent. The Lanshan is fantastic in regular weather but chilly in the cold. These three are great tents. Ive seen two and they work well.
Sorry to see what's happening in your hometown. I have my fingers crossed that it ends soon. I own both the Nemo Hornet 1 and 2 person. I highly recommend I also have the Tarptent Aeon Li and Dan Durstan's 1 person tent
I'm looking at getting a Hornet 1p for solo adventures, smallish thru hikes. Whats it like for holding gear inside, would you recommend it over the 2p or is it worth dealing with the extra weight and getting the 2p if i want a bit more inner tent room?
Be honest...You're hiding at Kyle's place 😂 (but seriously...Stay safe) I prefer the Lanshan models (my personal choice) but great review... great tents for sure.
I've spent a lot of time in Kenosha. 10 years in Waukegan. Prayers are with you all. Thanks for looking at the tents. I'm a hammock camper but I've been thinking about a tent for some places where there are next to know trees.
We now live in Tennessee and I am hiking the AT with my 70lb dog so definitely want the lightest 2 person tent!!! Thaa as no’s again for he great video!!!
Interesting. The Nemo hornet 2p is too short for me to lay in at 6’3. I love the tent but couldn’t sleep without my head or feet touching. This is on a 3” thick BA sleeping pad though...might be able to make it work on ccf. Great tent, I was sad to return it.
Hello we hope all is well . thank you so much for sharing all your words of wisdom and reviews. it really does help us, fellow travellers. Please stay safe my friend. Kind Regards Sarah and Glenn
Dan, be safe out there! It really sucks what's going on in and around our cities now! Hopefully they all don't decide to hit the woods in a tent! Did I see that the Nemo door zippers leave an open gap? I hate when things don't close all the way and let mosquitoes in! I'm also interested in how short the poles collapse for bikepacking. In that regard, I'd add the Big Agnes Fly Creek HV UL2 Bikepack to the list for $379. Thanks!
Hey Dan. Have you ever done a video on vests? I used to think they were stupid until I was required to get one for a mountain climbing trip in Alaska. Now I'm a fan.
You should have mentioned the guy lines for Big Agnes tiger wall 2. Its a con seriously worth mentioning especially if we are going to call out the hornets guy lines which are pretty bad but nothing like the fixed pre cut lines of the tiger wall 2.
So you said that the marmot doesn't have a color coded setup. Although in your video I can see the red tabs at the connection points. Don't those tabs accomplish the same things helping you set up the tent. I too have been very curious about that marmot tent. I also was concerned about the color. Color is the main reason I didn't buy the tiger wall because I want to blend in when in the backcountry. I look forward to your review of the marmot after using it.
Hay fellow kenoshan, subscribe, thanks for the videos. In the process of getting back into hiking and camping from a ling hiatus from doing high adventure hiking in scouts. One thing i will say i think its crazy the pack weights you guys use. When we did hiking we all used external frame 85 liter packs loaded no less than 60lb, me at 6ft 145lb regularly ran 75 to 85 pounds. Now from a motorcycle accident bad back, hip and knee I'm hesitant to do long hikes.
I think you mentioned that you are 6’2”. Was looking for a tent at 6’3 “ and much heavier. Wondering about room in the tents you mentioned. Will likely use Mountain Crossings in Blairsville Georgia. Thx Pete
So sorry to hear what is taking place in your home town. Out prayers go out to you, your family and all the people of Kenosha in hopes that everyone is safe and the unrest settles down.
Thanks for the review :) For the Marmot model, nothing is color coated but can't you match the red tab on the corner fly/body - usually being the 2 front corners (like some of their other model )?
Subscribing guarantees you’ll never have blisters hiking
🤣😂
Did you talk about Family Tents 6-8 for ultralight camping because my Back was killing me last time my Wife packed
i ain't an doer. Madame DivineVegan Cēh. S.V.,
Lifetime guarantee*
NO, Dan Becker! Subscribing guarantees you'll NEVER lose another left sock to those Underpants Gnomes living in your dryer ! (OBOZ brand shoes own the no blister market.)
I'd love to see packed size included in stats on any gear in the future. As a bikepacker that's almost more important than weight to me.
Agreed, I know the nemo gets really small, but I'd like to see the other ones for comparison. Just had to return a tent because of the packed size.
Ms_87J I of course have my eye on the Big Agnes bikepacking-specific tents, but also keeping an open mind on other options.
@@Galactico42 big agnes has a sweet price at rei right now ;)
Check out the Marmot Super alloy. Poles are shorter than most a may pack into panniers better
Ms_87J picked up a copper spur 3 person from rei for $375 few weeks back
A table at the end with all of the key stat comparisons would have been a nice touch ;)
Our prayers are with you and all the people of Kenosha. Be positive! After this, all of you will be a lot stronger.
One that to note that I don't see covered often is how high up the fly sits on the Nemo. I have this tent and love it in fair weather. Very light and just the right size for 1 plus a dog.

Love my Nemo Hornet... but I find issues with the bottom and rain puddling where it comes off.
that's what keeps me from buying it. I love everything else. If they simply changed the fly, then maybe just put a vent at the top, it would be a done deal!

Love my Nemo Hornet 2! Super light, very compressible, and comes with me on most of my backpacking trips! Thanks as always Dan
How good is it at keeping water out.
yes hopefully no crazy methheads or serial killer sees your big flashy tent and come visit you in the middle of the night.... Snugpak all the way. they even got a Multicam fly tarp for the Ionosphere now.
Sorry to hear about life being challenging because of your residence in Kenosha with the situation going on. Praying for you guys! Good video 🤟🏻

I like Mont too. I have the Dragonfly 4 season tent and it is awesome. however, its 2.5kgs and too heavy for a solo hiker like me to carry
My brother and sis pitched in and bought a TigerWall UL3 for 30% off from the REI sale as a wedding gift for our honeymoon in September. Can't wait to try it out. Should be delivered this Thursday.
I own the tungsten and the tiger wall, both are great tents. I bought the big agnes after watching your videos on it a million times lol!!!
Praying for you and your family. Stay safe. I appreciate all you do and the content you’re putting out.
Great job Dan. Extremely thorough. You have me questioning on buying that Big Agnes! I appreciate your research on the differences of the tents.
Just broke in my gossamer the two and hands down lights most spacious tent I’ve ever had and I love it
After watching I am happy I passed on the Nemo Hornet 2P, and got the x-mid 2p... little bit heavier but a lot more tent. At $280, it is a fantastic deal.
you may be able to get 2 hornets in the footprint of the x-mid though ;)
Still out of my budget. Would love to see tents that are under 200.00 and may be one that is not always recognized by the hiker community. Lanshan, Naturehike, etc.
The marmot catalyst 2p is $183 MSRP and I've used it for 5 or 6 backpacking trips. Great tent but a little heavy. Check it out.
I recently just came across your channel and I have to say it is now one of my favorites. Thank you for speaking your mind on products and giving a real review!
Just bought my TigerWall UL2 and ground sheet from REI at 30% off during the Labor Day sale.
Good score!
John McA yeah! Still running this week too I think
@@guywithFX yeah still $299 compared to $399, I got one too.
Nice. I was between it and the REI SL tent. Ended up going with the 1p SL. Hope I don’t regret it
Same here! I got the UL 3 though. I figured it will be better for bring people with me.

Go Packers. Sorry you guys are going through that. Stay safe man. And thanks for the videos.
Finally tried out a hammock Dan. As comfortable as it was I think a tent is easier. Hope your having some fun in the outdoors.
Love my nemo hornet elite 2 person. I use it for just me so plenty of room inside and out.

Nice to be able to escape in the wheeled tent. Looks like an Imagine. Happy camping
I hope you and your family are safe. Never, in my wildest dreams, did I imagine that this much unrest could be sustained in the US. Be safe, be kind, help others.
Nice video, have the BA and it has been a workhorse on backpacking hikes. And I agree that a footprint is just a smart thing to do. Be safe 👍
Dan I know you are not big on Bikepacking but Big Agnes has a couple specific to that too which is nice short poles easy to mount to the bike

Speaking of neck gaiters, In my opinion a merino wool gaiter is always what’s preferred
Like the thorough reviews. I prefer the 3F UL Lanshan 2 tent for the price and weight.

@@brockdelorenzo7505 great to know. I haven't used mine in cold weather.
Come on BA, build those footprints in!
Wow, did not know you lived in Kenosha. So cool, I lived in Pleasant Prairie for awhile.
God knows the situation and is in complete control. Great chance for his children to be a light in a very dark world. Let your light shine man.
Good info Dan been looking into getting a tent for backpacking this will help. Stay safe my friend and stay healthy
Sorry to see what's happening in your hometown. I have my fingers crossed that it ends soon.

Good reviews Dan.
FYI, the MSR Hubba Hubba NX satisfies nearly all of your ‘cons’ with all three of those tents...worth looking at if you haven’t yet.
Thank you for the tips Jack Ryan. This helped.
REI Flash 2 is awesome for a sub 2 lb tent and only $299
I feel sorry for you and your family. I liked your home town when we lived in Milwaukee. So sad what is happening to this country. Stay safe

You should have mentioned the guy lines for Big Agnes tiger wall 2. Its a con seriously worth mentioning especially if we are going to call out the hornets guy lines which are pretty bad but nothing like the fixed pre cut lines of the tiger wall 2.
I’ve never had issues with those guy lines like others have. Been using the tent for 1 1/2 years.
Dan Becker glad to hear that here on the east coast it’s a bit more of an issue finding the footprint and flat area
Stay safe and stay strapped keep you're family safe
Im sorry you have to get out of your home town. Stay safe, enjoy the time away. 🥾🥾🌻
Worth mentioning the REI Co-op Quarter Dome SL 2 Tent as a runner up.
Good move. Keep your family safe.

So sorry to hear what is taking place in your home town. Out prayers go out to you, your family and all the people of Kenosha in hopes that everyone is safe and the unrest settles down.
I'm currently really enjoying the 2 man X Mid from Drop. Worth checking out.
Thanks Jim
Holy crap hope your family is safe, and your community as well
Thanks for the review :) For the Marmot model, nothing is color coated but can't you match the red tab on the corner fly/body - usually being the 2 front corners (like some of their other model )?
