Budget Bikepacking Setup Sleep System

[@chris1275cc]

Budget, my second favourite word after cheap.

[@brentperron6914]

I have the cloud up 2 and absolutely love it! The price to value is great on it. Only downside to me is the front entrance but still worth it to me

[@liamswan1351]

I use the nature hike cycling tent. With a few quality of life modifications it is the best tent I’ve used. It’s tight for some people, but it works perfectly for me (5’11)

[@coreyreeder3549]

Yeah, I appreciate you doing a budget gear review. These are always well received. Already looking forward to the long term review- what broke and what worked

[@christieogdenadventures]

I have the same pad. I love the Ice Flame quilt from Aliexpress. It has been warm down to 3 degrees celcius.This quilt compresses down really small! I also have the same pillow.

[@kellymckenzie4865]

Finally! I knew you'd be the one to do it

[@peruvian05152]

I am very impressed with my Naturehike Cloud Up 1. I've used it for 2 seasons now and when it's staked out properly, there is plenty of room for bikepacking. For bike touring (with panniers) I might consider the 2 person. A friend just bought that NH sleeping bag and he enjoyed it on the one trip we took together.

[@KarloBituin]

Oh man, I got these same tent and sleeping bag from naturehike for an upcoming camping trip for my first time. I'm stoked now! Thanks for the review!

[@Likelybiking]

That sleeping pad and pillow are amazing for the price!

[@mendyviola]

I bike pack with a Burley Nomad trailer (my older bike can’t hold many bags). I use the NatureHike Mongar2 tent with the optional vestibule if heavy rain is in the forecast. Super easy setup and held up in heavy thunderstorms. I have a REI or Trekology pad depending on the season. Similar to my sleeping bag for the season - either a simple as a small NatiureHike down quilt for summer or a more serious sleeping bag for colder seasons. My sleep and shelter system by far takes up more space in my trailer than my food, cooking system, and clothes/toiletries.

This series is going to be awesome! I’ve been planning on putting a bike packing setup together and this info will definitely help out a ton!

[@sylv_ain]

Nice video. I’m also rocking the nature hike mongar 2p tent and the 290 sleeping bag. I use a big Agnes Q Corr slx mat and a basic MEC pillow

[@WheelsonaBike]

Thanks for a great video! I have the Nature Hike 2 person tent, which is more like a 1.5 person tent (I'm 5'4"). I also have the sleeping bag and the pillow and like them both. It's a great budget setup for anyone getting into bikepacking/bike touring.

[@MountainVisions]

Funny, I got the one man cloud up because it's huge for a 1 man tent. Wide wings and (actually too) long. I wish it was a bit wider and shorter. My dog can sleep in there with me and I can get most of my backpack inside (contents, not the pack itself). I wonder if you're staking it out? Or if you're just not used to one man tents.

[@WheelsonaBike]

@@MountainVisions Yes, I am staking it out and no, I'm definitely not used to one-person tents. Frankly, I'm not (or was not) used to tents at all when I started using it.

[@MountainVisions]

@@WheelsonaBike my actual complaint and not with the tent but with any tunnel tent is the entry. I struggle to worm into it. Especially if it's wet out. I would much prefer a large side door. But the price and size of this (which is a knockoff of the big Agnes fly creek) is perfect and as little as I use a one man tent, it's fine. At some point I'll shell out for a ideal side entry that weights and packs down the same. But my guess, I'll be spending $400 for a tent I spend 6 nights in most years when I go solo or solo with my dog. Just too much cash to drop on something that is a luxury.

[@pedroclaro7822]

@@MountainVisions definitely a luxury item.for such a small problem imho. I'm using a hammock system and there are some caveats like the entry, but otherwise it's not worth the investment unless i actually go on a world tour

[@wayneriley7557]

Cool, you have the same scales as me and I am in the UK.

[@chrisariens3786]

Good video, nice to see the budget gear available works OK for bikepacking. How do you pack this gear on the bike? Would the tent fit in a handlebar bag with drop bars?

[@LockedinCycling]

Thanks and it depends on bike I bike pack with but usually the tent minus poles fit in 1 of my fork bags

[@CraigEngstrom1]

Very helpful. Should've bought a pillow for RAGBRAI. 😏

[@wolframgarten4365]

UL80 has a quite low R-value of 1.6 . Its good for warm conditions but if it gets colder it is not my favourite mat..

[@mathieutallard6328]

Would like to know about light camping wood stove....I have the watercell x and i m looking for a way to heat up the water for nice hot shower......No gas stove.

[@willowwatts]

I'm contemplating between the cloud up 1 and the alpkit soloist..

[@pedroclaro7822]

Earplugs and facemasks are the most important here 🤣

[@marcochavanne]

Have you tried thier new bikepacking tent?

[@davidcampbell4647]

Is the down in your cheep bag from tortured animals or does that matter so long as it’s cheap?

[@jamesward8140]

How do you store the tent poles on the bike?

[@KingRatDog]

Enjoyed the video.... but really need the Amazon links. Thanks!

[@LockedinCycling]

I put links at bottom of the description for you

[@KingRatDog]

@@LockedinCycling Many thanks for your help!

[@mirandafoster-lugo2507]

not seeing the radwood In the background makes me sad 😞

[@ChristophLeitl]

6:15 is incorrect. The lightest tent should be 15D not 20D.

[@poviida]

Great video friend!

[@matthewnemer8062]

How long are the tent poles when folded?

[@tiffanynichol7765]

PSA: those sleeping bag temperature rating are based on the assumption that you have a warmer sleeping pad than the one on this list 😮

[@LockedinCycling]

@@tiffanynichol7765 good info and true !

[@knutknudsen9494]

Great one. But please dont forget to cover personal hygiene . What do you do when you are in the middle of nowhere ?

[@LockedinCycling]

I’ll cover that in one part about accessories!

[@knutknudsen9494]

@@LockedinCycling Awesome !

[@navidajayaweera]

people who can sleep with earplugs are just clinically insane... no offense.

[@outandabout5815]

Nothing budget here..

[@Raretrohead]

Bought and tested Naturehike sleeping bag last week. Stinky and low quality filling didn't keep me warm. Misleading information. Don't waste your money.

[@arishondatrak]

what temps were you camping in?
