This is one of the few 1p tents that is really a 1.5p tent which I wish were more common. I hate leaving my pack outside so I want a bit of extra room to fit it inside without having to carry a 2p tent. I wish naturehike would add a guy loop halfway up the fly on the sides, along with a matching inner tent clip (like how they do it at the bottom) so that you can pull the walls out a bit and open up the space inside. They already have the extra guy loop on the 2p version fly, just do that but add the inner wall clip as well.
Hi nice review, I have ordered one to do some motorcycle camping videos for my channel, I like the quick set up, nice beach camp you had, best of luck with the channel I have Subed , I know how hard it is to get the first 1000. Pete Western Australia. (PS, love the channel title)
Thanks for subbing Pete. Took me ages to find a channel name. I used to walk past a house here on the coast and it had a broken clock on its wall. When you looked closer it said on the face ‘it’s later than you think’.
Great Stuff matey - I'm looking for a light wee tent to give me a bit more room than my Lanshan 1 on a longer trail and this might be it! Is the vestibule big enough to use a gas stove in? You've got a new sub and a like! keep 'em comin'... atb Sinco
Thanks pal! Yes the vestibule area is fine. The other video I have called ‘Wild Camp on Deadman’s Hill’ shows this area a little bit closer. I’m going to watch some of your adventures today once I’ve done my chores. Keep in touch buddy! 🤙🏼
Oh and I forgot to mention, it only has one vent! ALL tents need at least 2 vents, to provide air FLOW. It needs one towards the back as welll, otherwise the air comes in at the front and has nowhere to flow out. It's good quality but a very poor design
Hi, thanks for the video :) I have 2 questions, please, in relation to the Cloud 1 person tent: 1. Does the rainfly touch the (inner)tent, or is there space between them? 2. Are the stake out points adjustable or non-adjustable? Thanks
@@michab193 cool that will be more stealthy for sure! I see you’re into Nujabes! I have some of his CDs which could be quite rare now. I used to go to Japan a lot.
@@DOOMFISH360 yeah. i bought the cloud up now! hopefully it works out for me. nujabes is great, yes. always gives me some good vibes when listening to him. going to japan is on my bucket list too. intriguing culture. what do you find so interesting about it that you used to go there regularly? and what keeps you from going to japan again? ;)
@@michab193 oh I used to have a GF over there a long long time ago. Amazing place! It’s the nearest experience you will get to landing on an alien planet. Everything is clean and the people are very respectful. It has very happy vibes. Well it did back then.
I'm sorry, but I'm totally disappointed in the cloud up tent I bought. It is the 2 person 210t version. It is just way too small. I can imagine how small the 1 man version is. The door is almost impossible to get in and out of. I'm only 5'7" too. For a large person...good luck. Also with the fly off, its actually kinda nice, except you can't see through the mesh very well. It's more like a plastic than a screen. And when you have the rainfly on, it's really hot inside. The set up is easy,, the pegs are nice, and the poles are good quality, but I don't think I will be using this tent too much. I think I rather carry a few extra pounds for a better tent. Only my opinion!
Interesting read there for discussion. I’m sure the 2 person one is 4 season isn’t it? Maybe that’s why it’s super hot! My 1 man version seems fine. I’m 6ft and I have a foot clearance for my feet and plenty of room for the backpack which I have to my side. In Blighty it’s never warm enough just to have the mesh layer so I’ve not experienced the stargazing element. Sorry you’ve had a bad time with it Borg! This tent is my beach tent.
@@ItsLaterThanYouThink maybe it is 4 season( not sure). The space inside is pretty good. It's mostly just the tiny door, that's annoyingly small. Maybe I'll try some more. Thanks for replying!
Hi Fernando! I was thinking of getting some sand pegs from Amazon but I decided to give it a chance without them. The default pegs worked but only just. So I put large pebbles on each peg. The freestanding structure did help also. So all good 👍
Hi Paul, very good review, nice to see someone who can do a review without coming across as a self styled expert, good stuff :-) I was considering the Cloud Up 1 for kayak touring due to it being freestanding. A couple of quick questions if you have the time 1. The flysheet seems to sit quite high, have you found this to be an issue? 2. Have you tried pitching the footprint and flysheet before attaching the inner (is this even possible)? Just wondering as it might prove useful if needing to pitch in the rain although it does go up pretty quickly in any case. Thanks again, Cheers.
Hey Mac, thanks for your kind comments. Not found the fly sheet to sit too high at all and not a problem. I think you could put the fly sheet up in the rain but I think it would be major hassle to be honest. Just waking around London and typing this sat outside St Pauls 🤙🏼
@@ItsLaterThanYouThink Hi Paul, thanks for the reply, yeah I watched another video showing pitching fly 1st, do-able but a bit of a faff. Good to know the highish flysheet isn't an issue. The MSR Hubba originally came with a similarly high flysheet but they introduced the Hubba HP with a lower flysheet and more subdued colours for the UK/Europe. The Cloud-Up is essentially a Big Agnes Fly Creek at a very competitive price, definitely looks good.
Can you make this semi free standing to full free standing simply by using treking poles on the single pole side and attaching the 2 ends to a trekking pole horizontally?
I know what you mean there Nelson but I think that would be very tricky to do. If you tighten all the straps to the max it's pretty solid but its a little flappy also. But you can get the job done!
Hi fella, I think you will be ok to be honest. I’m 6ft and there was a good gap at the bottom of my feet in-front of the door. I’ve got a new Big Agnes Copper Spur 1 and I gotta say there’s not as much room in that tent than this one. This tent feels like a 1.5 for room. Hope this helps mate. 🤙🏼
I'm in a cheap freestanding tent terrible quality in Australia freestanding so underated pick it up follow shade around brillant .I never use pegs weight gear stops it blowing away
I don't know why everyone is raving about this tent. I just got one, the upgraded version and have just been out to put it up. Let me tell you, compared my helm 1 this is a huge faff to erect! There are too many buckles, at some points there are three tie out points using the same peg, the little clips that connect the inner groundsheet to the fly on the middle either side down the length of the tent are useless with the fly taut as they are too short and hold the groundsheet up in the air, not flat on the ground. The groundsheet is so flimsy, you're forced to use the footprint, which just adds to the time it takes to set up. (I really don't see why tent manufacturers are using such flimsy materials for groundsheets to save weight, only to then have to supply a separate footprint to protect it). The fly doesn't appear to cover the inner enough in some places. Far too many areas to tighten, the footprint, inner and fly in some areas on one peg! This tent isn't even particularly light to make up for these flaws, over 1.5 kilos all in, only 300 grams lighter than my Wild Country Helm 1, which is a doddle to erect and bombproof, no footprint needed! Another problem I see with these kind of tents is that the fly just drapes over the poles, I can see In time the clips that hold the inner to the poles rubbing through the flimsy sil nylon material. That's not a problem with tents that go up all in one with pole sleeves. Crap really
Helm also includes ground sheet that you need to buy separately, adding another 200g or more from the weight you mentioned. I'm actually torn between this and the helm 1. Looking for a side by side comparison between the two.
@@mjojrjr6231 I'd say the Helm is a better tent, more robust, better in strong winds, easier to erect, two side vestibules, side entrance, doesn't sag when wet. Okay it's 300grams heavier, and I'd say you don't need the extra footprint as the Helms groundsheet is more robust than the Naturehike, I've never used a footprint with the Helm and the groundsheet has never needed repairing. Thanks
Hey Jay! 20D is Nylon and 210T is Polyester based. 20D is thinner but stretches more than 210T which means it has a good ripstop attribute to it. 20D waterproof index is 4000. 210T is is 3000. Hope this helps as that's as much as I know on that subject. Take it easy!
I’m not sure where it took off from but that one was landing which maybe gives you an idea where I was. I’ve been told they’re Amazon planes which just shows you what a crazy network it is. 🤙🏼
This is one of the few 1p tents that is really a 1.5p tent which I wish were more common. I hate leaving my pack outside so I want a bit of extra room to fit it inside without having to carry a 2p tent.

They already have the extra guy loop on the 2p version fly, just do that but add the inner wall clip as well.
You’re so right about it being a 1.5 tent. There’s a lot of room in there. Much more than my new Big Agnes tent. 🤙🏼
Great review to watch before deciding my next tent. Thanks Paul. Wishes from Malaysia
Thanks Suresh, Your vids are great! Wish I knew your language my friend!
Greetings from camper
I ordered exactly the same one.
Will share the review video soon
Look fwd to seeing it 🤙🏼
Bought 2 per about 2 months ago.A newer version,only used twice,but so far am very happy with the cost / quality aspect being well worth the money!

Cool. Glad it helped to have a good look at it. 🤙🏼
Cheers for the review mate, gonna pick it up now!
Nice one mate! Not a bad little tent. 🤙🏼
Very nicely designed, love front entrance.
It is a nice tent. Can’t wait to head out again in it soon.
I have the same tent and I absolutely adore it!!😊
Yes it’s a good one. A pleasure to use. 🤙🏼
Great review mate - thanks for this.
Thanks pal 🤙🏼
Hi, amazing video. Is it possible to first put the outer layer and then the inner layer?? Because that would be great if it's raining
Just orderd me one ! Going to use it on the Israel INT trail ! 683 mile hike ! I think it will be great and lite to carry ! Thanks for your video !
Wow enjoy your trail! Thanks for your kind words and the tent will be perfect for your adventure I'm sure.
Your welcome ! Take care and God Bless !
@@yeremychauvin9835 You too buddy! Safe journey!
Thanks for a great review!
Thanks Andrew I did my best. 🤙🏼
Great review. Well done. Quick question, how do you find the tension to be on the pole connector ? Cheers
Hiya Cyril, I find it quite tight but secure in the fact I’m not worried about it breaking at all. 👍

2. Adjustable
I'm really digging this tent. Do you think a tall person like me (190cm) would fit inside?
Hey there l! I’m 6ft. Got about 1 ft space at the bottom of my feet. Plenty of space at the side for my backpack and bits also. Enough room in there.

I have the 2 person version of this tent, and I'm curious how those little pegs preform in sand. Can you share your experience?

If on seaside,take as long as you can carry,half inch metal electrical pipe,bent tops over after driving in.

Show us how to put the polls please
Little bit late now for that now ☹️
would that color tent be ok for wild camping ? thanks for sharing the video
Hmmm yes but not if you wanna go stealth. I’ve camped a lot in it and when I look at it in the distance it does look like a UFO has landed.
Brilliant thank you
hi mate, can inner and fly pitch together. looks cool tent

I have a rei one person tent that I use for motorcycle camping but it is just too narrow for me and my riding gear. This might work!
Hi Steve, yes it’s quite roomy. Put it this way I’ve just bought a £350 Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL1 and it’s much more narrow than the Cloud.
I'm in a cheap freestanding tent terrible quality in Australia freestanding so underated pick it up follow shade around brillant .I never use pegs weight gear stops it blowing away
Hey Donald! Sounds perfect. No point in getting too notch stuff most of the time. I deffo like to mix it up. Part of the challenge.
Im was looking between cloud up 1 or a tagar2.??
The Cloud Up 2 is nice also. I'm sure that one is classed as a 4 season also!
Nice tent. Can the fly go on first?
