- Опубліковано 2 сер 2021
- We are always striving to find the perfect mix of space, convenience, comfort, weight-saving, durability, cost, and a thousand other things that go into deciding what tent to take moto-camping. Well, the good news is that I believe I have figured out the right blend to get a great budget buy that will hit all the necessary requirements we have as adventurers. It is the Naturehike Hiby 3 and this is my setup and walk through of the tent.

Great review. Glad I found this channel. Going on my first moto adventure with my son in October in Virginia. 3 days in the Shenandoah Valley (Blue Ridge PKWY in Lexington, VA through the full length of Skyline Dr) - camping trip. I ordered the new Naturehike motorcycle storage tent. Looking forward to it arriving and do a trial run before our trip. Will definitely be following your journeys.
The larger vestibule makes this tent. You can get out of the weather and organize your stuff in the vestibule without getting rain, dirt, etc. into your tent. Great design. Hopefully the quality is good enough to do the design justice.
Very true!
I have this tent as well. Set up gets faster the more you do it for sure. I tend to install the poles similar to you but I do the red cross pole first then the longer silver poles front to back. I find it helps arch the tent into position.
Thank you so much for the advice. I seemed to screw up the order the first time so hopefully it will go quicker on the next run. I am glad you seem satisfied so far with this option as I won't get to really use it until later this year.
Agree with what you see and like. My personal preference these days though is to have a clip design to fasten the tent. A tent many years ago with pole sleeves just aggravated the tar out of me. Having said that, the sleeves are stronger and such. But I also don’t camp in extreme wind if I can help it. Happy new year from a new subscriber of the channel. Come visit me in Colorado
I totally agree and I REALLY miss the clip in design already. Unfortunately, the clip in one I really wanted is about three times as expensive as this one. Maybe in the next year or two I will be ready for an upgrade. We shall see. Also, I might just take you up on the CO visit as we plan out this next year. Stay tuned to the channel for our trip ideas as we start 2022.
Looks nice chad
Sweet tent dude. Hadn’t seen that one before; like the vestibule. Good luck with your ride!
Thank you so much. Nice to see you back here with the channel. I am really hoping for this ride to be a good one. There is a lot that needs to fall into place but we are still very optimistic.
@@BeGoneForGood sorry, been watching but just haven’t been commenting. Lurking feels so exciting :) you seems to have been up to all’s rots of things in the last year can’t wait to see what’s next. HU VA this year? Overland Expo East? (Former but not latter for me)
Hey, lurk away my friend. It has been a really crazy 20-21 as I am sure it has been for everyone else as well. I will be hitting HUVA and not OEE so maybe we can chat a bit more about who REALLY killed Kennedy there. ;-)
Dang. About 3 minutes in, I would have already thrown it away! I just can’t deal with long poles sliding through those tunnels. Imagine that setup during a rainstorm 😂
Yeah, my tent goes up so quick just clipping to the poles, no more tunnels for me. Nice vestibule though.
I totally agree and got super spoiled with the clip in type I had before. The slide in might be my undoing with this tent but we shall see. I am hoping my set up gets cleaner and faster now that I have some idea what I am doing. Plus, I really want this vestibule...
I tend to agree ... however, only if the tent pitches as one, I hate inner first or outer first pitching ... I would choose poles and sleeves over 'inner first' clip to frames everytime personally. The perfect set up is like my Naturehike Nebulas and thats pitch together and clip to external frame.
Yeah, I have an Opalus 3 which seems to be an easier setup; a tunnel tent with 3 shorter latitudinal poles. Those poles in the Hiby would be too long for my patience. I'm now looking at the Mongar 2 as a smaller, stand alone moveable tent option. But I do love the vestibule of the Opalus and the option of rolling up the outer sil-nylon tent at the end of the tent for better ventilation.
There is not enough ventilation for summer camping at low attitude from my experience 🤷♂️
when is the bourbon ADV ride? In NC and I would join that!
I wish I something more definite for you but it looks like September or October might be our best shot at the moment. We will update everyone when we get schedules aligned. Stay tuned and hopefully we can all get together.
Tip: Put the cross pole in first..
Great tip and it took me a few tries before realizing that is the best way to go.
Great review on this tent, the Hiby 3 isn't available anymore but I'm eyeing off the Hiby 4 for motocamping and just about ready to hit the button on one. Will scan through your videos post this review but did you find anything you didn't really like about this tent?
There is nothing about the tent I don’t like as it is built. The only thing I’d like different in my next tent is poles where the tent snaps directly into it rather than sliding the poles into the sleeves. It is nice having the whole tent free standing and the interior compartment suspended inside the fly because it all goes up at once. But, the better way to go for ease and convenience is a quick snap in. The only time that doesn’t work is if you’re setting up on a downpour, which I likely wouldn’t.
It’s a great tent for the price and with the MINOR pole sleeve inconvenience.
@@BeGoneForGood Really appreciate the response!! After everything I've seen, I'll hit the button on it for sure!
What's your opinion about the floor? By look it seems thin. Would u say is waterproof enough not to worry about getting an additional floor cover.?
I don’t think it is any more thin than other tents I’ve been in. I don’t camp too often so I generally just go with the tent. I could see folks that do this a lot bringing a ground cloth with them. Honestly for the price of this thing, I’d just let it wear out and buy a new one.
@@BeGoneForGood thanks for the reply. I went camping on a road trip.
I used the extra floor cover. I had light rain for a couple nights. Water got in, I ended up returning it. 😕
I went through light rains last night without any issue. I haven’t used the ground cloth yet but next time that will get added as well.
Is the tent really long enough for you? You say youre 6”5 , right? Did you try laying down inside it yet?
I go corner to corner of the sleeping area and if I stretch all the way out, I am touching either end. Luckily, I am generally a side sleeper so it is more than big enough. I definitely couldn't go with two in there or expect to stretch out on my back long-term without running into space issues over the course of the night.
@@BeGoneForGood Thank you that excellent answer. Great to know. I hope you have lots of great adventures ahead! Ride safe!
What sold you on the nature hit brand?
I just bought a "cheap" tent (my first Naturehike) back in 2015 to take a single camping trip but it has held up so well since then that I thought I would revisit the product line. They seem to make reasonably solid gear at a decent price for someone that certainly isn't a die hard camper. This newest addition really excited me because of the substantial vestibule option.
@@BeGoneForGood awesome thank you for the honest opinion. I’ll definitely be looking at some of their options as it looks like a quality build for a good price like you said. Which model is your previous tent?
I don't think they even make it anymore but the Cloud looks like the most similar current model in their lineup.
@@BeGoneForGood thanks it’s good to know of a good tent brand and tent that’s not going to break the bank as a weekend warrior on a limited budget. Keep up the good work
I have both Lone Rider tents. The Moto and the ADV. I refuse to compromise with cheap China tents. As the saying goes, cheap is as cheap does. I've had way too many cheap tents fail at the worst possible moment. Get Lone Rider or Big Agnes if you wat a tent that will not fail and will last a decade.
I certainly was impressed with the quality of the Lone Rider but I also cannot find a way to spend that much on a tent that I will only use every so often. These Naturehike tents have stood up well to some significant usage so far but ultimately, I am all about getting the best you can at the time. It is far better to buy "cheap" to get out there and do it then waiting to start because you can't afford the best.
@@BeGoneForGood Agreed! I buy the best because I can and I camp enough where failure is not an option for me. The cheaper tent might be fine if you only camp a few times a season. Great video!!
🙌👏👌✌🖖🤙👍👋
@@ttrguy9952 Generally use the same ethos as you i.e. buy cheap and buy twice ... however, I have used my Naturehike Nebulas in some really challanging UK wild camp conditions for the last 3 years and its stood up to everything and still no repairs or damage.
Definitely nice, definitely too annoying to setup. Not for this kid I believe 😊 thanks for sharing it🙂
Yeh, it is FAR more complicated than my previous tent. We will see if I can get better and faster but it might just be a little too much for daily ups and downs.
