Naturehike Cloudpeak 2 - Best budget 3/4 season tent? Long term review, pros and cons!

[@heatonparkmassive]

Hey Karen, this might have already been suggested, but I've done something that makes the hood easier. Just 'permanently' attach two of the hooks by removing the hooks themselves, and then use two of the actual rings from a keyring to hold it in place. That way, you always put the hood on at the right angle and it won't get lost or blow away in windy weather.

[@ksgonewild]

Thank you so much for the suggestion!! 😃 it is a great idea!

[@darthkek1953]

That's what I've done! EDIT : but you do NOT need to use keyrings, you can fold it through itself.

[@ksgonewild]

@@darthkek1953 thank you for watching and commenting! 😃

[@heatonparkmassive]

@@darthkek1953 Yeah, you don't have to use them, there's many ways to attach. I just thought the spacing was best with the keyrings. If you tie them, you decrease the length of the elastic bit. Keyrings just seemed to act as a good spacer to replace the space the hook would take up.

[@timsatch9198]

Heard a few people comment on the roof edge dripping in the inner tent. Quite feasible to make an extended porch piece, that goes under your top and velcros around the 2 poles either side of the door. The initial experiment could be done with a large bin liner and gaffer tape, to work how long it need be to be effective. Nice tent BTW.

[@ksgonewild]

Yes it needs like a little gutter lol! Can’t afford to add anymore weight to it though unfortunately but I still love it 🥰 Thank you for watching! 😃

[@gudgengrebe]

Thanks for the tips about the hood and especially the Velcro on the zips. I’d not heard anyone mention that before. I’ve been binge watching reviews on this tent and what I like about it the most is the space inside. I’ll put up with the weight I think.

[@ksgonewild]

Ahh you’re welcome! Amy other questions ask away! I love this tent and have used it sooooo many times it’s just awesome! I have actually just bought an ultralight version of this tent by Jim’s Gear which looks brilliant so keep your eyes peeled for the vid! I’ll be filming later in October and will do a thorough look at it and comparison etc! It’s really exciting! 😍😍 Thank you so much for watching!!! 😃

[@cairnscrow8713]

Great user review Karen. I agree it is a fantastic tent especially considering the price. Performs as well of not better than a lot of higher priced tents imo. When I had mine I never had a single problem with the zip fortunately. I do have a Soulo and sold a handful of tents to partially fund it. I kinda regret selling the CP2 but a good friend has it now who's equally as pleased with it. I had the CP2 out in some very inclement weather and it never disappointed

[@freeforester1717]

You could make a gutter for the rainy side door with three or four clothes pegs, the type that has a bit of a hollow in their middle part, so that the material can form a rolled edge rather than a crease or tight double thickness. Always take half a second when opening and closing zips so as not to put undide strain on them, and not to catch other material in the teeth of the zip. Nearly every time a zip gets broken or gummed up it is due to pilot error, lol!

[@ksgonewild]

fantastic review Karen!! the best on KZbin by a mile!! subscription added .. I`ve had this tent delivered a couple of weeks ago (a few days before christmas) and the weather hasn`t played game for me to try it out yet , i don`t mind setting up in the rain normally but i`m damned if i`m getting soaking wet just to see the thing put up!! Can`t wait for a Dartmoor trip or two this year to put it through it`s paces and the thing that excites me most is the freestanding ability to move it about after it`s been erected (something my Banshee couldn`t do) and also the vestibule area for cooking (also rubbish on the Banshee) ............. P.S love the out-takes!!

@@Soggz7785 personally I wouldn’t camp in 60mph winds. I’ve camped in very bad weather but would always look for a sheltered spot anyway but that’s just me. My Oke Tor camp was windy, and my camp on Roos Tor with my lad so you can how it looks in bad wind. It’s never budged and never buckled or broken in anyway but 60mph winds personally I would imagine a lot of tents would struggle but that’s just me 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Soggz7785]

@@ksgonewild I was up on the Mendips in Storm Gerrit last month. That was 60 mph gusts. Once I was in the tent,it was fine. I’ve seen vids on KZbin featuring that tent in strong winds, for reference, and it didn’t look good. It’s hard for me to ‘pick my time’ to go camping, and the weather is just part of it, for me. I can’t lay out loads of money on Hilliburgs, etc, so was looking for a good alternative. That’s why I asked. Do you know the specs for that tent regarding wind speeds,etc?

[@ksgonewild]

@@Soggz7785 no I don’t, I’m not sure Naturehike test their kit in that way. It moves around a lot for sure and the hood moves around a lot too but I trust it. I can’t pick when I go either but always look at the forecast and choose my location considering wind direction and would always look for a more sheltered/protected pitch.

I was looking at the Vango Banshee but seeing the amount of room in this I'm changing my mind. I'm planning to start doing a bit of bikepacking and maybe wild camping. I agree so many people get or advice to get really expensive tents which is fine if money is no object and you probably do get something for that extra money but unless your pushing extreme weather conditions there just doesn't seem much need. I just want something reliable and dry, then I can get a good sleep mat and a good sleep bag.

Nice looking tent. I look at tents the way Mrs. Boom looks at shoes and bags - one can never have enough. I think my all time favorite tent is a canvas Whelen tarp - no bug netting so it is only good from late fall to early spring, and it weighs a lot so good for canoe trips but not for backpacking. All the minor gripes fade though when it is set up with a beautiful view and a reflector fire.

Yes, those big green HEAVY tents! They had to set them up with 10 strong guys 🥵.. Thinking about the weight of your tent now .. i wish we had them in the past!

Hi, I would much appreciate it if you, as a long time user could answer my questions about it: How is the wind situation inside the inner? Is it very well blocked (which means the tent is very useful in fall, less useful in summertime) or does the wind blast through a lot? Could you for example cook under the outer tent in pretty hard winds without having to worry about windshields for whatever stove is used? Do the outer doors have two zips to open from either direction or just one? I feel it would be useful to open from the bottom when it's raining to be able to vent the inside, as you pointed out the problem in opening from the top. Cheers! Thanks for your review :) Long term reviews are really the only useful kind.

[@ksgonewild]

Hey! I’ve never had an issue with wind blowing through the tent at all as the inner has a bucket floor design. I often cook in the porch but would always use a windshield anyway just to be safe. My stove has its own built in one anyway. The door zips from the top and bottom to get in and out yes.

Great video Karen!! I do really like the CloudPeak 2 and know quite a few people with them that love it also. Real nice size inside with good deep bathtub floor and really like that massive pocket!! Even though I have a Soulo I dont think you really need it or other high end 4 season tents for most conditions. High up on a summit in 50+ mph winds or in very bad snow with big snow drifts & compression then yeah I wouldn't want to be in anything else. But if you're not planning to do those sorts of things then they're not needed imo. Ive been high up in some still quite testing winds and conditions in my Helm Compact 1 and its held its own. For the price on the CloudPeak 2 then you cant go wrong. Paul Messner had a coloured tag on one of the 'ends' of his hood as he said it has to fit in only one certain way to be right. So he puts it on there so he knows exactly which way to put it on. Have a look at his vids try and find it you see if you can tell haha. Dont quote me on that though lol. It is a very big tent with lots of length 😆🤣🤣 definitely a superb tent to be in when you're going to be in it a lot this time of year like you said. On the hood if the Hillebergs there is a little skirt at the bottom, so as the rain comes down is goes into it, rolls down and drips out the end so it doesn't come in your vestibule area or more. If you were handy at sowing it would be a simple fix on there I think (if you check my peak district camp by the aircraft crash site and ffwd to where I pitch the tent up I show it on there) Loved the bloopers at the end! 😝😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Take care hun...

[@hedgerowsandzeros]

Some good points there Karen. I still haven't got round to buying one mainly because the width won't allow two wide mats. The rain off the door is a small price to pay really. The MSR's have a gutter seen in to alleviate this, but at a much higher price! The cap...Not a fan from what I've seen , but the stability is great. 4 season? Maybe 3.5 in my opinion as there is no snow skirt and by all appearances, the mesh inner panel doesn't seem to zipper to a solid panel so could see snow in the tent. Weight seems fine for the price. Great vid, thanks for the review. 👍

It's definitely a 3 season tent. That's not to say you can't use it in winter, any good 3 season tent can be used in winter in mild conditions, and I certainly have with it. The question is: can it handle winds and a heavy dump of snow? If the answer is no it's a 3 season tent.

Hey I'm totally will you with those tents being too high off the ground!!for me it's an absolute no no in Dartmoor!! As they tent to have intense lowdrafts that are frosty as hell!

It's got even better space vestibule and the lowest rainfly that sits as flush as possible to the grown while still remaining 3 S tent!!

I have been looking into this tent since watching this and i have noticed they seem to have changed the door from this to a kind of single arch shaped opening. Does anyone know is this a different version as i dont think this arch one is as good as the opening in the video?

[@ksgonewild]

The arch zip on the inner is the newer model and isn’t as good sadly, mine is the T zip which was on the earlier version. So many people have said it’s not as good I’m hoping they may change it back if they do another version.

[@davidmaskew]

@@ksgonewild Thanks, there are still places selling the older (better) version and that makes sense why they are a little more money then. If there's no other differences it seems a strange thing to do.

[@ksgonewild]

@@davidmaskew I know, I’m not sure what their thinking is to be honest?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@david_v2.1]

Late to this...it looks like a great spacious tent for the money although I checked and it has gone up in price. Hope you find a solution to the hood problem. My first tent was a budget Argos one 😄 survived a coastal Atlantic storm when more expensive tents were collapsing all around us! Anyway, a merry xmas and the happiest of new years to you and yours 😊

[@ksgonewild]

Thank you so much! Wishing you a very merry Christmas xxx

Naturehike tents are underrated, I've got a few and they are excellent quality for the price.

Absolutely! Couldn’t agree more!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Best review of the tent so far. I had one and used it once and found it very cold....mind you I was inexperienced at the time. With all that inner mesh did you find it cold inside in the colder months? Thanks in advance for the reply and thanks for making and sharing the vid. Cheers

[@ksgonewild]

Ah thank you!! I think it’s just about preparing for the cold to be honest. Yes it will be cold in the colder months but I just make sure I’ve got appropriate clothing and sleep system. It’s fantastic for ventilation so it’s swings and roundabouts I guess. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😃

[@camperp195]

I looked at this,but ended up going for a vango mirage pro 200 instead,more stable for the same money👍

[@ksgonewild]

Yes Vangos are a great option! Thank you for watching 😃

[@buffplums]

It looks a great tent xxx

[@ksgonewild]

I absolutely love it!!!

[@WildBeare]

Great review Karen, love this tent, still my fav :D I keep the hood attached to the tent by one point, no idea of its the right way around or not 😄 but seems to be ok and easier to set up I keep the footprint attached too. I find the bathtub floor really thin and have punctured my mat through it before 😬 so I always use a foil foam mat now Love the bloopers, happyy saturdayyy 😘

[@ksgonewild]

Thanks beautiful!! Yes I’ve thought about leaving the footprint attached but keep forgetting when I put it away and dry it all etc 😂 Thank you for watching!!! Xxx

[@mrbrown6657]

How does it fair up to heavy rain ?

[@ksgonewild]

Really well! The only slight issue you need to be aware of is that it can run off the hood into the inner if you’re not careful as there’s no gutter like MSRs have. This last weekend I had some issues with water dripping through into into the inner from the top which has never happened before and that was only because it was extremely wet and windy so with all the movement on the completely sodden tent a few drops got through but nothing drastic.

They are great tents for the money aren't they. I used to recommend the banshees for beginner campers but don't now as naturehike better. Though the latest versions aren't quite so good they're still a good buy. Oh and I've got one for sale if you know anybody that wants one. 😂😂😂 I'm getting one of the expensive ones you mentioned 😂😂

[@ksgonewild]

😱 nooooo!!!! You can’t leave the Cloudpeak gang!!! 😂 I hope yours finds a loving home and gets to have lots of adventures 😃 what made you decide to go for an expensive one out of interest?

[@Ragnar009]

That's my favorite tent and the least expensive. I was surprised at how nice it is for a little over 100.

Nice tent. Do you think it's big enough for 2 adults, 160-170 cm? 😃

[@ksgonewild]

Yes absolutely! Me and my husband have slept in it and it’s fine for two people! Having two porches helps for storage. It’s obviously more snug but easily a proper two person tent! 😃

[@gustaveriksson9091]

@@ksgonewild Thanks! Lots of space in the vestibule 👍👍 I'm going to buy a second tent also so the hole family can go on shorter hikings with easy weather. Maybe the star river also or the cloud up 2 :) Great videos by the way, lots of good info 👍👍

Hello Karen. It appears that you like your Cloud Peak 2, as do I. Just wondered if you have come accross my videos showing how I modified my rain hood / top hat. I also have made a modification to address the dripping into the tent problem. That will be shown in a forthcoming video, as soon as the weather improves (my bad body does not like the low temps). Happy camping and keep those grins and smiles coming!

Thanks Karen , your erection tip helped ( ooh err Mrs) and the top flap no longer flaps , I was doing it wrong by making each pole go over one and under one , the tip on fastening the Velcro so as not to snag the zip is ace too

Hi Karen...Have you taken the tent and camped in high winds and rain...This I think is the only true test of a tent that is rated 3-4 seasons....I dont think your a fair weather camper or are you lol...Take Care

[@ksgonewild]

Hi!! Oh yes I’ve camped in high winds and rain on Dartmoor many times! I will always pick a more sheltered spot as I think that just makes sense, I don’t want to risk damaging my tent for no reason but it’s stood up brilliantly in both. 🥰
