My first Hub Hub lasted almost three years of physical abuse, probably close to 300 set ups, only one in my backyard. Tent is a beast. The Nature Hike Monger 2 is a clone of the HHNX except for peak height and price. Have both of them now, but I'll always prefer my HH.
100% agree with your points, nice video, Kevin 🙂 I also wouldn’t want a 1P, I’m 6ft4” and I’ve tried a 1P and no way is it liveable. I’m planning on thru hiking the PCT next year and this MSR is coming with me. The only issue I sometimes get is the fly on the ends touches the inner in windy conditions & I wish had a guy out to pull it away from the inner.
Picking a tent always leaves me feeling like I missed something! The last one I got was a Big Agnes Copper Spur. I got the foot print also. It's a 3 season tent... very light and breezy. My prior tents were by REI and Cannondale and they were 4 season tents. I've carried these tents on over 8,600 miles of bicycle touring and a few minor car trips. The Cannondale was used down to 19° and up to about 100° between Key West, FL and the Catskill Mountains and everywhere in between. On the low temperature end it was probably as comfortable as I could get with a 3 season bag and without artificial heat. On the high end it was too hot--not enough air flow. It was good in the wind, rain, and snow. The REI tent was mostly used in moderate temperatures in NY, CO, MT, WY, ID, and WA. The Copper Spur was used in NY, PA, OH and MD in August/September. It is a nice tent and was comfortable for the season. It will be used on my next bicycle trip too... need another 1,400 miles to hit my 10,000 mile goal! On another note, going from a sleeping pad to a Thermarest air mattress was a game changer... I can sleep all night now!
I feel the same way with camping gear. I like the thermorest sleeping pad, but it’s like sleeping on a bag of chips. If you move a lot, damn thing will wake you up lol.
@@KevinsDisobedience I use a cotton sleeping bag liner on the sleeping pad and then my sleeping bag on top. In warm weather conditions I put my sleeping bag on the pad and use a sleeping bag liner to sleep in. In that way there it minimizes the sound.
Just one advice from a 5 year user. You fold your tent in 3 and the inside comes into contact with the dirty part of the floor. Better to fold it half way from both sides and then fold it from side to side. This way the underside of the floor is only touching undersides and keeps the inside mesh clean.
I have 2 of this tent, it's not a tent for 120 days camping during the year, it's a occasion tent for some weekends and that's it. after 2 years of camping this tent start give many problems, and the answer from MSR is : You have this tent 2 years now you need purchase another one. 😂, it's meaning MSR make a tent durable for 240 nights, after that is problems and more problems. For me is the end, I use hilleberg now and 0 problems.
Glad you’re back !
Seems like a nice little tent. Love all the ventilation.

Great review Kevin! I love the snappy to the point review style. MSR makes excellent products.
Great review I was wondering how these held up yours looks almost new after hundreds of nights of use
That's a lovely tent. I really enjoy your review videos. Make more please
Thanks, I plan to

@@KevinsDisobedience P.S. I was looking at gear the other day and see the Copper Spur has been changed… probably wouldn’t buy the newly designed one!

Air vs. Foam is a no brainer for comfort, but the dang pinhole leaks are frustrating as heck.

Works when dry. No good way to pack a wet, muddy tent.
First! Cool review, love all those quick shots through the vid👍👍
Just trying to to keep it interesting.
Very good scenery! I bought Floating Cloud 2. I didn’t choose MSR because of low budget, but it’s also very good, 80%.
They’ll all do the job. Get out there and enjoy Nature

Good to know. I only camp a few times a year, and it’s been great.
