Just a few months ago i brought the hilleberg anaris tent its a trekking pole tent. absolutely love that tent best money i have ever spent on a tent. Just pay the extra money and get something that will last forever.
@@soniadowney7427 in everyday life there are precautions you take to protect yourself, and there is an expected level of comfort. camping is no different. if anything, you can have less annoyances or dangers to deal with, and the rewards are 100x more worth the effort than sitting around indoors. camping out has so many forms too. if you are constantly focused on only these creatures you mentioned, or other annoyances, then you're doing it wrong. or you can use different climate or seasons. even if you have special circumstances or simply can't stand any bugs or whatever, there's always a way. the love of the outdoor experience supercedes almost anything. you can find a way. besides, having some hardships and non conventional things to deal with is what camping is all about. a lot of the fun is learning how to be comfortable and enjoy yourself, while yes sometimes roughing it as we say. that's just how it is! : ) it's not as bad as people might think
@@DarkMetaOFFICIAL i did a lot of camping growing up in my youth, laying in a tent on hard ground, bitten in the eye by black flies whereby the teachers thought I was being abused l0l, crapping behind trees, cooking and eating pike for breakfast, lunch and dinner that we caught. Yesm they were the good ole days but no more. I bought a 36 footer with 4 piece bathroom.
The outdoor will give you the experience you need. If you don't already, do for lots of day hikes and see whether you like it or not. Backpacking/camping is the same but harder, more exhausting but also much more fun and rewarding (most of the time).
Ideal for the kids to play in the garden I'm the same height as you Luke and just one of the reasons why I enjoy your videos so much. The tent doesn't tick any boxes for me!
I feel better now. I purchased a roomy Lightheart Gear tent many years ago and although I really like my "Solong 6" . I have always felt it too heavy. I now know there are much smaller tents than mine that are just as heavy. I shall goi forth and smile as I carry my tent up the trail. BTW...there is NOTHING worse than a too small tent. Its awful. Thanks for the video.
Honestly I am 5'6" and love this tent. No mods done, sometimes I add room over my head with some magnets that are not sewn to it, I just place them when the tent is up. I admit it has a learning curve, to put it up with good tension. I can't sit tall in it, I just use it to sleep, and sit upright enough to get dressed, but I don't need to have a party in it. The extra space between the inner and outer tent (using a ground sheet) is great for keeping backpack, shoes and gear dry but not stinking in your safe space.
Had a trekking pole tent once and found it really hard to get a good pitch on rocky ground (where stakes are a challenge). Went back to a freestanding tent and am much happier. I'm still tempted to give them a try again, but even excluding the ludicrously small size of this one, the weight just doesn't make sense. 3.2lbs isn't light enough to put up with the downsides.
I use the Durston 2p (regular) and I am really happy about it. But if you know you mostly hike in places where you cannot setup the stakes, it obv makes little sense to use such a tent. Btw I am 6.3 and the size is as big as a light tent can get really. It is a palace for 1, and roomy enough for 2 (if one of the 2 isn't too tall).
The weight includes a groundsheet and 15 stakes, whereas so many companies don't include a footprint at all and love to short you on stakes and guy lines specifically so they can fudge the pack weight for marketing purposes. The weight could be wrong, too. I have an Opalus 2 that weighs like 5 ounces less than the all-in weight they claim. Even with an additional Tyvek groundsheet AND the included groundsheet, it still weighs slightly less than advertised. I suspect this is because the material is nylon and in China it's so humid that the material is always "wet" and simply heavier than it is in the US. This difference in humidity has caused fit problems for Naturehike in the past, so I can't imagine it doesn't also affect the weight.
So strange that this tent has the same name but seems to be totally different from the model I’ve been looking at in the U.K… the inner has an angled part so you can sleep diagonal… with a little zipped access hatch into the vestibule. I can only find it in bright orange though.
If you intend to use trekking poles either way, then trekking pole tents are a win-win. I always take trekking poles with me nowadays, they make a considerable difference for overall comfort on the trail. You can move much faster, your legs will stay happy for longer, they help push you uphill and make downhill trekking better. And they are nice for stability when doing river crossings or when on janky terrain. I keep going back to my Lanshan 1 Pro and my Gossamer Gear The One for their weight, ease of use and excellent design time and time again.
Well - since im 6ft 2" @ 285pounds - its just to small for me - id use it as my supplies shelter at my camp site - that would seem a better use for that tent - thank u for ur straight forward review Sir
At 6'2" I would have to pass. It would be a good tent for the grandkids, maybe. But I would want one that they could grow into. Looking forward to the Lone Wolf Mt rain test! Thanks for the preview review. Stay safe and God bless.
When my kids were young i bought them a pop-up tent for them to 'play with' & they actually camped in it when we knew we didn't have to worry about rain. It was MUCH bigger than that toy/pretend tent.
Regards the tent size, if you shorten the adjuster hook length at the top of the inner, and guy out each end of the bathtub floor to the side stakes, you end up with a 5"-8/9" tent, which is my height. This removes all the sag from the mesh. The tent works really well then.....
Apparently there are also women, of average or below average height, who camp without their husband’s or their father’s accompaniment or even permission! 😉
The first time I used a hammock, I had no underquilt or pad. The mosquitos feasted on me through the night right through the material. I would never recommend using any tent where your body is touching the mesh inner. If there are mosquitos, they will find you and dine.
Good point. I learn that caveat about the mesh while wearing a "bug hood" while doing yard work at our mountain getaway/retirement/vacation property. I tend to tilt my head while using a line trimmer. I couldn't fathom why my left ear was burning and itching so much, until my cousin yelled at me to straighten up my head. When we went inside, he told me the left side of the hood was laying on my ear and it was covered with skeeters. I had a bit of a cauliflower ear until multiple doses of Benadryl finally kicked in. Got me a new hood with a wide brimmed hat built at the top and a hoop down on my shoulders. And, the bug buttons I pinned on the top of the hood, on my shoulders and the front and back of my shirt helped to.
Hi, I have a request that doesn't concern this specific video…would love if you could test out some suv tents…you know the ones that attach to the back of an suv where you can either sllep in your vehicule leavin the hatch open and ise the tent to change, sit in if it's raining, even set up a toilet if wanted; an extension of your suv so as to be bug free with air circulation sine you leave your hatch open. Thanks for listening - take care and enjoy the summer
Thanks for the review. I really find it odd that this tent is being marketed in the US. It’s just way too small for us. For $30-$40 more you can get a Lanshan 2 which is lighter and far larger inside. This tent doesn’t make sense.
Love some of your videos. They a very thorough. This particular tent is set up at the bottom of a pathway that blocks the ability to traverse and it is at the foot of water flow. Correct me.
Did you make the outro music? It's really good. I found I have it up in the background to play out, like I'll stay in a car to finish listening to a banging track on the radio.
Wrong! To be successful, Everything has to suit your target demographic! Unless this tent was meant for the market in which it was sourced (China) then they are going after the 5’3” and shorter hikers in which i have never encountered (accept women) on my many hikes!
Awesome! A teepee tent for my dog. I can't imagine how much smaller that thing gets once you add an inflatable sleeping pad. Maybe a young child or a dog, but that's assuming you have no problem putting either in a separate tent. For the price point and quality, a better option trekking pole tent would be the lanshan.
The tent itself looks good and the price is really something compared to other trekking pole tents out there. However, with the weight, size, and angle the tent has I don't see myself getting this. I am glad the Luke made mention that you do have to include trekking pole(s) on your person where that weight isn't included in the tent when being bought. I have a free standing tent that weighs around four pounds that is easier to set up and has more space (true two person tent), it costs more but is worth it for everything you get from it.
Trekking poles are only accounted for if you usually DO NOT use them. If you do use them, makes no sense to include them in the tent weight. And to me at least, if you backpack for a few days and do longer distances instead of camping like Luke does most (not all) of the time, I'd highly suggest you try cheap trekking poles after educating yourself on how to use them effectively for hiking.
I really appreciate and enjoy your candor on this tent and the other products that you review, Luke! Even if I am not in the market, it gives me ideas of checkpoints to look at when shopping.
For the price/weight, I'd rather go with the Lanshan 1 or 2. The 1 being a single pole tent would probably be lighter than this including the trekking pole, and still offer more room.
You should measure distance across inside of the tents at the bottom then 1 foot up to show how much space you actually have. You could carry two boxes a foot on a side when you do the setup to make the measurements.
Hey man , nice video!! May i ask you a favor? Can you talk a little about your training habitus and exercices you are doing at the gym , around the fire on one of your videos? It will be cool to know , im struggling to loose some weight and put some muscles on even if im hitting the gym 1h per day and eat only 1300 calories.
My insert is different. It angles to one corner to give extra space that makes it seem not as small. It says way bad and have to sleep at an angle but still hit at head and toe. 5’8”. Has been waterproof and worked. But very annoying.
I'm guessing when you said " It says way bad" you meant that it sags way bad. If you were talking about the fly, that's because it's nylon and absorbs water and expands when it gets wet. Even high humidity is enough to cause it. This is normal and you just need to retension the guy lines to pull the sag out, but it's a good practice to slack them a little bit after it dries to take some of the stress off the stitching. If you were talking about the mesh inner sagging, this is also pretty normal for nylon tents that have a lot of unsupported fly material. They're made this way so that when the fly sags it won't lay against the inner, which will draw water through the material and drip into your tent. Nylon tunnel style tents tend to have saggy inners for the same reason.
Luke, I would think that a few inches in height may be gained by lying diagonally which would also keep material further from your feet and face. Maybe that is an option. Great intro, looking forward to testing!
Love to see you do a compilations on your personal favorite tents from 1 man ultras to say base camps. Be a great education romp thru tents from a trusted critic. Just saying. ------- THIRD, haha.
The point is that this tent used to be available in orange (ugghh) BUT that version had a three-quarters rather than a half inner, so the idea was that you would sleep diagonally which accommodates taller people, and still leaves plenty of porch space. Maybe Naturehike could confirm whether that inner is still available as an option with the green fly?
A good looking tent, but being so small and heavy limits its usability. Personally I do not think a second review video is that much necessary in cases where the preview shows constraints that won't get any better knowing that the tent is waterproof. Thank you very much for this preview, it was excellent!
I like the color. I like the weight. I even like the price. The problem to me with the teepee tent is that dang pole is right in the middle of the tent. You are constantly avoiding the pole which could NOT be in a worse place. At least with A frames, the tent poles are at the ends of the tent.
See, that's the problem I have with one person tents: the size. I am pretty average, 5'11" @ 238lbs and usually end up laying diagonally. Even then, still tight. So this tent wouldn't work for me except in a pinch or emergency. Thank you for the review.
I've been eyeing this but have a lanshan 2 so i wouldn't be gaining anything with this tent. The weight seems heavy. What are your thoughts on going without the liner once it was cold enough to not worry about at least flying bugs?
I don't see any reason to get this if you have the lanshan 2 already. It doesn't even seem to pack smaller, is heavier and has a lot less room. Might stand up better to wind though. For a budget single trekking pole tent, the Lanshan 1 is probably a better deal. Even lighter, but still offers more space than this.
This would be interesting without the mesh inner. Pyramid tents are insanely expensive in dyneema. Being able to pitch fly only or fly with groundsheet might make this worth something.
It looks like a quality tent and but the size would put me off. Also as it is pitched there you have big gaps underneath it so if you need to have it lower to the ground then the problems with the size will be worse.
I am so immature, but this thumbnail is a lot like one I drew for my friends of how I supposedly look in a tent (not needing a center tent pole - if you know what I mean) 😉 VERY impressive, Luke. Yes, I am 15 mentally.
Ive seen this tent with the inner tent extended by being designed to go around the support pole and then to the corner to give you an extra triangle of inner space. Funny how this is missing from the US market
Im in the US and was able to get one about a year ago but it was a pain because they emailed me saying they only had half of the parts in stock. I was in limbo for awhile with half a tent until i found another site that had the rest of the parts in stock 😅😅😅
I wish you would review a hammock hung the way old timers like me use them: strung extremely tightly between trees with minimal distance. I sleep like a log that way.
@@rgmALC I don't know if it's proper, recommended or customary, but I do know that it is, according to my own experience, the most comfortable, and it is readable protected from rain by almost any tarp.
Can you put your bed on the diagonal? Maybe your head wouldn't brush the tent that way. Still, that's incredibly small and wouldn't be worth the money for me. Thanks for your work.
No consumer grade tent is "fire proof", sustained fire will quickly burn through. If nothing else the nylon or polyester commonly used will melt. There are laws in the US requiring tents to be "flame retardant", meaning that when the source of ignition is removed the fire won't spread.
Thanks for making the video Sir. It actually might be smart to have the trekking pole handles facing up. I've heard fellow hikers state that critters sometimes like to chew on cork handles. I haven't had the issue myself here in Arizona, but will be hitting the Tahoe National Forest later this year where said creatures are supposed to live. We'll find out because the Durston is designed for trekking poles to be upside down. I don't think it's a major sin to flip them around though. Keep making um and I'll keep watching um Luke.
The word "denier' isn't pronounced (duh•neer') it's (den'•nee•yər). It's the word for the circumference and strength of the fibers used to weave the tent fabric and such.
I am 6ft 4 inches and love this tent. I enjoyed using it so much I cut my feet off half way up to my knees so I could have a more comfortable night
Hahahahahaha

Great idea! I’m going to do the same thing…

This is normal and you just need to retension the guy lines to pull the sag out, but it's a good practice to slack them a little bit after it dries to take some of the stress off the stitching.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures and equipment testing
I've been eyeing this but have a lanshan 2 so i wouldn't be gaining anything with this tent. The weight seems heavy. What are your thoughts on going without the liner once it was cold enough to not worry about at least flying bugs?
I don't see any reason to get this if you have the lanshan 2 already. It doesn't even seem to pack smaller, is heavier and has a lot less room. Might stand up better to wind though. For a budget single trekking pole tent, the Lanshan 1 is probably a better deal. Even lighter, but still offers more space than this.
I like the simple design, but two things: 1) Why only use half the space for the inner? 2) It’s way to small.
I Like This Tent I want to know where to get...It Maybe small but worth the while❤😊
This looks like an EXACT copy of my HUSKY piramid tent 🤨. Only that one is a bit bigger, and one of my favorite tents.
This would be interesting without the mesh inner. Pyramid tents are insanely expensive in dyneema. Being able to pitch fly only or fly with groundsheet might make this worth something.
5' 4" if you lay diagonal ?
headless knight will love this tent i think
What if you lay corner to corner instead?
Can the Inner Tent be setup by itself?
How about some bass pro/cabelas brand gear
They made a tent just for little people. Fantastic.
Luke been hitting the weights pretty hard
Thanks for the great video, as always. I am 6foot tall so I am thinking this tent is a no for me. Peace
It looks like a quality tent and but the size would put me off. Also as it is pitched there you have big gaps underneath it so if you need to have it lower to the ground then the problems with the size will be worse.
I am so immature, but this thumbnail is a lot like one I drew for my friends of how I supposedly look in a tent (not needing a center tent pole - if you know what I mean) 😉 VERY impressive, Luke.
Yes, I am 15 mentally.
Have an old Fly Creek 2, same weight, way more room. No trekting pole needed
Looks like a fine pyramid style, vented tarp pitch... Just throw away the inner tent 😅
Great review but I think I will stay with my lanshan 2 trekking pole tent.
Looks like a good hiking tent. How much $$?
Ive seen this tent with the inner tent extended by being designed to go around the support pole and then to the corner to give you an extra triangle of inner space. Funny how this is missing from the US market
Im in the US and was able to get one about a year ago but it was a pain because they emailed me saying they only had half of the parts in stock. I was in limbo for awhile with half a tent until i found another site that had the rest of the parts in stock 😅😅😅
😊A good children's tent 🤔 1.6 x 1 meter
That tepee design will let rain in every time the door is opened 🤔
I wish you would review a hammock hung the way old timers like me use them: strung extremely tightly between trees with minimal distance. I sleep like a log that way.
That’s not the way to properly hang a gathered end hammock
@@rgmALC I don't know if it's proper, recommended or customary, but I do know that it is, according to my own experience, the most comfortable, and it is readable protected from rain by almost any tarp.
Looks maybe it was pitched a bit high, next time try lowing the pole a bit shorter to get some extra head room.
Great. 🙏Tashi Delek🙏
I’m 6’3”+ soooo this tent is definitely a no go.
Wow, looks huge compared zpacks Plexamid. 🤔
It’s like a quality kids tent.
Hey Luke and Susie why don't yall get a van and deck it out . Put a bed a bathroom and a kitchen. Put solar on top and heat.
Can you put your bed on the diagonal? Maybe your head wouldn't brush the tent that way. Still, that's incredibly small and wouldn't be worth the money for me. Thanks for your work.
Uhhhhh, for Cub Scouts?
Is it fire proof
No consumer grade tent is "fire proof", sustained fire will quickly burn through. If nothing else the nylon or polyester commonly used will melt. There are laws in the US requiring tents to be "flame retardant", meaning that when the source of ignition is removed the fire won't spread.
@@hanelyp1 lmfao
Im 5'1" and use trekking poles, might work.
Looks neat but the space is a killer
They should make an XXL version with Sil/poly
Thats the issue with chinese tents, they make them too small, even the Lanshan is too small although they have made a larger version now.
Thanks for making the video Sir. It actually might be smart to have the trekking pole handles facing up. I've heard fellow hikers state that critters sometimes like to chew on cork handles. I haven't had the issue myself here in Arizona, but will be hitting the Tahoe National Forest later this year where said creatures are supposed to live. We'll find out because the Durston is designed for trekking poles to be upside down. I don't think it's a major sin to flip them around though. Keep making um and I'll keep watching um Luke.
This tent is for emergency porpoise only, or for the backyard for the kids to play.
The word "denier' isn't pronounced (duh•neer') it's (den'•nee•yər). It's the word for the circumference and strength of the fibers used to weave the tent fabric and such.
At 6' theres no way I'd fit in there. 😆
