I have a cloud up 2 in purple and love. Its darker inside so its easier to sleep in if you want or if your in a campground with lights they don't bother as much..
You can add a small loop of thin shockcord to the existing loop , to make the process of passing the toggle througha lot easier. I did that with mine , and works very well. Otherwise it`s very hard to do it , specially with cold hands. Great vid!!
Great review thank you for sharing! Just one little detail I would like to mention is the tent peg angle, yours seem to be in the opposite position, normally they should be 45 degree outwards of the tent so that they stay solide down to earth in the wind with the tention. I have a Cloudup 2 and it's a really great tent too :) Hoping to see more of your work!
great review. I am considering this model, purple, as well... hahaha. The blue is 15D while Purple & white are 20D. Prefer a darker rainfly to block the sun so i can wake up late.
@@Hong.Wanderlust i have the Quechua F&B tent from Decathlon. The black interior is great & also keeps the inside cool even in the afternoon heat. Dont think i can go back to a white rainfly.
@@quekvincent5981 i went with this tent waiting for it to arrive tomorrow or the next day i did look @ the decathlon black out tent for the price it was 100 but i did get lucky and got my Mongar for 135 so that was neat saved me 35 plus got the vestibule as i had a nice 4-5 person tent before so i like the space but saw a few reviews on black outs and it's crazy how "dark" it can be for day living in your tent.
Thank you! 🙂 I just went for a camping trip on a tropical island and used this tent. Feel free to join me on the adventure. >>> ua-cam.com/video/o_yWvYoMiJ0/v-deo.html Большое спасибо! 🙂 Я только что отправился в поход на тропический остров и использовал эту палатку.

This is my first video of yours, so I have no idea how big your internet profile is (I was actually just researching the Mongar - I do covet that peacock purple! - & got here from another video), thus no patronisation meant if you're a well-known professional, but I was just so struck by the slickness of your camera-work & your confidence + charisma in front of the camera.

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words! ✌🏻 To be very honest, I'm fairly new to the world of making (camping/hiking/outdoor/travel) videos like these. I did learn some basics back when I was much younger, as a Scout; and also during my 2.5-year stint in the Army, but as you can imagine, it's quite different. 😊 Thank you for subscribing too, as I do plan to do much more, once the ongoing pandemic situation settles down and/or goes away. 🤞🏻 However, here in Singapore, camping permits have not been permitted for quite awhile, so frustratingly for many, we'll just have to wait awhile longer. I've been eager to test out these new tents I've got! In the meantime, WE gotta stay safe and sane however we can! 😊
@@Hong.Wanderlust I know the frustration - I've basically felt gridlocked for the last year & a half; it's been impossible to get out to the woods, where I live my best life - but I agree that we have to all agree to put safety first. 👍 Stay well, Hong. Looking forward to more content. 🙂
@@mysterylovescompany2657 I totally feel you... Thankfully for us in Singapore, at this time, we're still allowed to go out and chill on the beach (sadly just no camping is allowed). Really hope the situation will start improving soon. Wherever you're at, hopefully you get the chance to take some time off and connect with nature too! Sometimes the simplest things in life are the things we take for granted (fact for me). ✌🏻 #Peace
@@Hong.Wanderlust I'm in Australia, & lockdown in my city has just been extended for another month this morning, so it's pretty frustrating. I'm super glad to hear you can at least go to the beach & such. Hopefully that'll keep you from climbing the walls too much. 😀
@@mysterylovescompany2657 Damn... That truly sucks... 😔 I follow the Aussie news quite a bit, but it's quite hard to keep up with the many policy changes, AND that each state has different regulations. But regardless, for now, we just gotta keep ourselves safe and hope that the situation will be under control asap. 🤞🏻 And yeah, I am grateful that there isn't a strict lockdown here and that we're still allowed to head out to the beach or go for a hike. That said, it still doesn't beat camping (or traveling). LOL 😂
I would totally go purple if I didn't live in Florida. Unfortunately, that would trap so much heat from the sun I just can't lmao. White it is. Honestly, probably similar weather to singapore, mega hot and mega wet, so I'm surprised you're not sweating like crazy inside dark purple!
LOL~ The fact is that it does indeed trap a fair bit of heat, especially under hot/direct sunlight. That said, I'm usually not inside my tents in the day, so it isn't that bad. And yeah, I think the climate in Florida is pretty similar to that of Singapore, and it I'm honest, it is the humidity I hate more than the heat. 😊
I’ll say this, I am a very non flamboyant man and I’d say I’m pretty macho but I’ve always liked purple. I just got this exact tent in the mail today in the same purple. Excited to take it out and use it!
According to the outdoor gear review utuber this color makes for darker interior compared to the lighter color tent, a noteworthy point, i just ordered the blue.
Yeah! Absolutely! It is quite significantly darker on the insides, even under direct sunlight. Should make for a better night's sleep! Do share how your camping trip(s) go in your new tent! 😊
Hi Hong,from the UK. That’s a great looking tent and a fantastic colour. Have you tried it out,on a windy day? Just wondering how it would stand up to bad weather. Regards.
Hi Soggz, thanks for dropping by! Unfortunately no, I've yet to take this specific tent out for an over-nighter due to the many restrictions we still have here in Singapore. Based on my experience with other products, I am assuming the length of the tent-pegs to be sufficient for mild to maybe moderate winds. Longer stakes will definitely help secure things down better for stronger-wind scenarios. (Another option will be to add rocks as weight at the anchor points, and/or securing the guylines to the backpack to prevent things from flying away). 🙂🙂
@@og7748 there's a few other videos on this tent various channels but it's been tested to lith to moderate to some heavy rain ☔ and one mentioned gusts up to 30 mph but that's up to your skill in staking it down and such but the consensus is to 100 percent water coverage even with the gaps it creates great convection to keep you dry
Well the Mongar 2 does pair with a quite large vestibule you can purchase separately basically turn this into a purple igloo, mind you the vestibule only comes in white for all the tent colors lol but still large enough to cook in with something like a jetboil cup and even smaller stoves so that gives you some heat and also space for a low small fold table for shoes and such. You can even use it to keep your gear out of the sleeping area to have more space for a cot or so.
If you have to compare the mongar to cosmitto(one tigris) both 2 person Which one do you think is better I am planing to get a 2 person tent and one of them has to be it As you have both That will help me pull the trigger which one to buy. Thanks in advance
Hey buddy! Thanks for dropping by! To be extremely honest with you, I don't think I'll be able to share objectively, which tent I'll prefer, just yet. That's because here in Singapore, all camping permits have been restricted due to the ongoing pandemic, and it might be many moons down the road before I can properly test these 2x tents out. In my personal opinion, while I have tried out other tents, these two offer similar quality and value, and will probably be my two main go-to options in the future. Sorry I can't help more at the moment, but I'll definitely be putting up more videos in the future once I've tested them both!
I'm a harley cycle camper and I chose the purple! Nit gay or a woman! I just like purple. And the tent is great! 1st nite out and it rained hard. Nit a drop inside!
Sounds like it was an awesome trip! 😊 😊 I just camped in this tent last week, with rain, and stayed dry throughout the night too! >> ua-cam.com/video/o_yWvYoMiJ0/v-deo.html
Add to viewers, why the poles tent not equal one section is lower and the other side are too high. The purpose of that is for aerodynamic, just point the lower section where the wind came from. It can hold if there is strong wind.😊
@@Hong.Wanderlust 6 years ago i bought my frist tent from Naturehike was a classic 4P dome tent then i went for the Star River 2P after that for the Cloud Up Tourer and all'm was only for motorcycle camping purposes ! You can imagine all kind of wheather and the held up perfectly ans by the way all my motocamping gears are from Naturehike
@@ShineBright__ That's really cool! In fact, I ride as well, but have not gone on a motorcycle-camping trip (yet). Think I'm gonna needa add that to my to-do-list! 😉
Hello Jorell. I generally do not fold/roll my tents when I keep/store them, I usually just stuff them directly into the stuff-sack. From my past experiences, folding them will leave crease-marks which may affect the waterproofing in the long term. Having said that, if you plan to use your tent very frequently (i.e.: weekly), then folding might be ok.
@@adventurz2626 Hello! For me, i tent to spin/wrap the tent before stuffing it into the stuff-sack. If you take a look at my recent wild-camping videos, you may see my method. >> ua-cam.com/video/V94Khk5BAL8/v-deo.html However, as mentioned earlier, this method works for me and may not necessarily work for you. Another trick is to keep the tent-poles and tent-pegs separately (not inside the main stuff-sack). Hope this helps! 🙂
I have the purple and chose this colour to reduce light inside the tent as this purchase was for very hot tropical rainforest camping. So target marketing to females is a false statement.
