Naturehike Mongar 2 ALTERNATIVE to MSR Elixir 2 Tent? Which one is better?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2023
- In this gear comparison video we are going to review and compare two very similar structure and design wise tents - Naturehike Mongar 2 tent and Elixir MSR 2 tent. As you may already know we have been using our MSR Elixir tent for a very long time and so far we haven't found a better alternative to replace this tent except more expensive options like MSR Hubba. Therefore, we are in constant search. What we know for sure it should be a self-standing tent with separate pole frame, quite spacious in width and height that will keep its shape and not sag inside so will be comfortable for two people. Additionally having a budget-friendly price. That is quite a task we know. But we were eyeing this Naturehike Mongar 2 tent for quite a while and it seems to come very close to this criteria. We are going to find it out in this video comparing MSR Elixir and Naturehike tents side by side!

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

If you have any other questions or suggestions - leave us a comment below. We would love to communicate with you!
I have the Mongar 2 and I like it a lot. Even slept in it in winter, although you definitely could feel some draft and you had to brush off the snow now and then to take weight off the poles. Good part about the huge amount of mesh is that there is almost no condensation. Just sad that when I bought it the Nylon version was only available in super ugly colors.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We wouldn't dare to sleep in it in winter so we look up to you!😊 That's great about condensation, we love it, but to us it would still be a nice tent for summer or warm weather. The colors are the bummer, when they do those bright yellow, white or fluorescent green. We get only one reason why it can be useful - to be seen in an emergency especially in snow.
Nice review guys. I've had the Mongar for 3 years now. Bought for when hiking with my partner who created a tear in my duplex on our first night in it!! This tent has held up great and I don't have to worry about babying it due to the low cost. Also, and very important in my opinion, you can squeeze in 2 wide sleeping pads. No issues with zipper. Tent stakes can bend easily if pounding into rocky ground. They look like MSR groundhogs but I can assure you they are not as robust.
Thanks for sharing and valuable info! We really liked this tent overall and it was the first time when we considered some other tent after having our MSR Elixir. The only thing that bother us were smaller vestibules, have you found it an issue when camping two people in it?
@@WalkingNatureWorld So far no issues. But both my wife and I use pretty small packs (30/40L) and so far we haven't had a problem storing our packs and shoes in the vestibules. However, on a rainy day you might have to cook your food in the vestibule and that may or may not be an issue. I haven't had to do that yet so I can't comment. I've never used the elixir so I can't compare, but a smaller vestibule could also be advantageous if it translates to a smaller footprint. All depends on where you camp and how you use your shelter. But so far I am happy and impressed with the quality and functionality of this tent. Thanks again for the content. I hope this helps.
@@ricardojorge5886 Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion. We are excited to try out out more times outdoors this season and see how it is for ourselves. And yes, we usually do cook in the vestibules so we'll see how it ends up being.
I own the Mongar 2. It is a reliable tent even in strong winds and heavy downpours. I use it only on bicycle tours as a luxury one person tent. For two persons on a longer journey with lots of luggage I would always go for a bigger 3 person tent or in case of the mongar at least for the vestibule extension. So far I had no issues with the zippers. What I really apreciate in rainy weather is the option to set up the the fly first and hang in the inner second for a dry setup.
How do you set up the fly first with the Mongar ? Do you have any link to a video showing it ?
@@arkeez1181
The Mongar tent is delivered with a separate floor. Fix it on the ground, set in the tentpoles, put the fly on it and fix it. Now you have the free standing Mongar without inner. Hang in the dry inner and connect the edges to the pole ends on top of the separate floor. Done in 3 minutes.
@@robingood62 Thank you sir!
Thanks for sharing your experience with it! We were also concerned about how the two people and two backpacks would fit, but have to test it a bit more on some trip to verify. The extension is nice, but it would add quite a bit of weight to the whole construction. Great to hear it held up to a bad weather too and yes we like that option as well, it is really nice.
You need to take a look at the 3F UL Qing Kong 3 person tent... I was also looking for something like that size and lightweight, and this one I suggest was the only one... It is a great tent... Palace for 2.
Those are some great recommendations! Thank you! Haven't looked that close at the 3FUl gear tent range, need to check it out👍🏻
All mesh is not a minus. Mesh is more expensive than the other fabrics which is used on innertents.
Probably not, we usually refer to the mesh as a warm season tent, that's the only concern we have with it. Also it makes the tent weigh less which is a huge plus
You should check Natuhike StarRiver 2 which has fewer mesh parts thus it is more suitable for more cold weather.
I own the Naturehike CloudUp1 witch is very good and lightweight
It would be cool to be able to test a range of Naturehike products and see it in person to decide which one is more suitable for us and what is their difference. CloudUp is lightweight but may be too restricted in space for us from what we've seen.
Спасибо, было интересно. Это природа в Испании?
Рады если вам было полезным это видео😊 Это природа в Пиренеях, Каталонии где мы были этим летом
@@WalkingNatureWorld А есть видео, про вашу историю? Откуда вы и т.д..
Пока нет, но мы думаем над созданием такого видео😊 Сейчас у нас есть краткая история на сайте : walkingnatureworld.com/our-story/
@@WalkingNatureWorld Еще интересная для меня тема, но ни у кого из блогеров я как-то не видел ее - это насколько безопасно оставаться одним ночевать в горах или просто в путешествиях в палатке? Дикие животные, другие случайные люди вокруг, не страшно ли ночью? Какой ваш опыт? Где берете воду если на несколько дней? Привет из Атлантической Канады! Я тоже хочу заняться пешими путешествиями.
@@xlarin Это отличная идея для видео, спасибо за подсказку! Думаем нам есть чем поделиться по этому поводу. Канада кажется отличным местом для походов и кемпинга особенно летом, столько красивых мест. Наш совет это начинать с одной ночевки где-то недалеко от дома и так постепенно приобретать опыт и потом уже осмеливаться на более длительные путешествия🙂
I would go for the Mongar. It also has an option to purchase a separate much larger vestibule. It's also lighter and stronger in winds. Now compared to the Hubba Hubba Nx, of course I would choose the Hubba Hubba.
Have yet to test it more under different conditions, vestibules are nice although they add up quite a bit of weight. Interesting to hear that it is stronger in winds compared to Elixir. We just hope for Hubba Hubba to drop down the prices one day, maybe this Black Friday;)
Msr!
Has been our go to for many years:)
Tramp cloud si уделает все это и по комфорту и по весу и по цене, покупал за 6 тыс, это меньше 60 долларов!
К сожалению у нас эта палатка недоступна для покупки и цена ее превышает 180евро. Но было бы интересно посмотреть на ее обзор.
Таких цен на неё никогда не было
The mongar is a copy of the hubba hubba. Used to be cheaper but covid brought brands like naturehike up.
Yeah, it is pretty much a copy. Didn't know it used to be cheaper before.
exactly. I bought it for less than 100 euro during and now I cant find below 155 euro .
