Naturehike Mongar 2 lightweight tent - Wildcamp at the Long Mynd

[@gunny1961]

I have seen many reviews in which the tent is assembled roughly, often with obvious errors. You are among the few who carry out the assembly correctly and, almost completely new, also show the disassembly phases. Seeing the entire experience is informative and validates your judgment. All much appreciated

[@mendyviola]

I have it and love it with the optional vestibule which works great to store my bike-packing trailer with room to spare to cook under. It’s withstood several Texas thunderstorms with zero issues. Super easy setup and light weight. My only complaint is the difficulty to setup the fly first. Mine requires the inner tent to be installed before I can clip on the rain fly.

[@outdoorgaz5]

I've not tried setting up the fly first yet. Good to know it's survived some real thunderstorms. Thanks for watching.

[@keesverhagen9227]

Hi, Do you have a link to that extra vestibule ?

Just seen this video today. I have been looking at so many tents and this tent took my eye . I am just starting out on the road to camping/wild camping and plan to go wild camping next summer after getting the gear I need . I got the hiking/wild camping bug this past May in the lake district with my sister and brother in law we did some amazing walks and I knew I wanted to strike out on my own. Great video 👍

[@pedrok60]

I have a Cloud Up 2 tent, love it, however i found it a little bit narrow (i'm a relatively tall guy) even for a two person tent. So the depredatory capitalism spirit has been invading me recently, for that reason, i'm even more commited to make a completely unnecessary purchase of another Naturehike tent, and i'm thinking about this Mongar 2, it's a bit heavier than the CloudUp2, but seems much more spacious.

[@outdoorgaz5]

I know how you feel my collection of tents and hammocks keeps rising. The Mongar 2 is a perfect size for 1 you'll have plenty of room. Thanks for watching. .

[@steveprice876]

Great report. Comments of your experience spot on. Tent has superb space, especially with two vestibules. Only problem (but probably gets easier with time/experience) is the complex pole set up. You did enjoy the fact that you had no rain when setting up or when stowing. Not sure I would enjoy it in poor weather.

[@outdoorgaz5]

Thanks for watching, yeah great tent and I'm sure my time setting it up will get quicker. Poles are not too fiddly.

[@waynemccuen8213]

Yes, the poles go up and down quite quickly after a few set ups. 1st time camping for me ever. Love this tent with and without the vestibule.

[@keesverhagen9227]

May i give a tip. On Wish you can order a little USB heating pad. It is around 15x25 cm. I strenghtened the edges with a strong textile tape. Connected to a powerbank the heating-pad gets really warm. Around 70 degrees Celsius. I have used it for 4 years now. And by that i can leave the very warm sleepingbag at home. I have a dual setup sleepingbag. And the light one is very small when packed. Whenever i get cold i use the USB heating-pad with a powerbank. I take two 20.000 mili-amp with me allways. And re-charge them while riding on the bike. One of them is more then enough for the whole night. Used that several times when it was just above freezing. The first time i was amazed how warm it will keep you. I push it down around the feet. One of the greates but cheapest product i ever bought. I must admit that i allways take 6 handwarmers with me. I like to do motortraveling for two or three months. And you can never be sure. In case of emergency those little handwarmers can keep you alive. They are very cheap on Temu. Packing light on a motorcycle is a must.

[@outdoorgaz5]

Great tips thanks I might get myself some heat pads.

[@daveondartmoor]

Looks like a great little tent, I have been thinking of getting the Cloud peak 2 for ages but this one looks like its as good if not a little better as that overhang on the vestibule looks like it keeps the water from falling right into your tent inner when you have the doors open! I also like how you can put the outer up first then the inner second (seen that on other reviews)

[@outdoorgaz5]

Yeah it's a really good tent, you're right the rain doesn't get inside. Thanks for watching.

[@notme1345]

Looks the the inner is 100% mesh which would make it a fair weather tent.

Bought the Mongar 2 last year, but haven't had a decent chance to test it out yet though. :( I wish they had the darker green then, but it was only available in white or purple... and up here in the north (Sweden) it is really bright in the summer, so a darker tent is preferable. Nice video!

Thanks for the review of the Naturehike 2 Mongar tent! I've been looking into tents to use backpacking (I'm new so I need all the gear). I don't want to drop a bunch of $$$ on a really expensive tent until I decide I like backpacking or not. Anything I buy I can use for kayak/SUP camping so it won't go unused, but lightweight and smaller is better for that as well. I didn't catch it, but what was your pillow?

[@outdoorgaz5]

Hi, glad my video helped its a great tent. The pillow I used was a Vango deep sleep thermo pillow. Thanks for watching.

Not sure yet on the 3 season I'll ha e to try it some more but I don't see why not as I'm used to sleeping with a hammock and tarp. Thanks for watching mate 👍

[@johnymingle]

It would be a nightmare rigging in typical uk weather! such as heavy rain and high wind, once up it looks great, but I would prefer inner and fly rigging together

[@outdoorgaz5]

It rained all night and I had no problems, also slept for three continuous nights in high wind and it was fine. Have you tried one?

[@donnymotions]

nice video how cold was it in nighttime ? I asked myself maybe it is to much mash and could be little bit more air circulated and slightly colder like the cloud up 2..... because the Mongar has much more mash. what you think ? I am between the cloud up 2 and the Mongar, will use it for 2 person, though not to tall persons =) what i like at the Mongar 2 is that the sidewalls are way better for more roomy feeling. best regards from Germany

[@outdoorgaz5]

Hi, I didn't find it cold but you're right it's all mesh inside. I'm used to sleeping in a hammock under a tarp so feels more sheltered than that. Thanks for watching 😁

[@saifaldin_]

I’m not sure how cold it would be for your weather, but the mesh on the mongar is quite densely woven. With the fly on top and doors closed, there’s not that much direct airflow (although it does vent very well). I personally prefer the 2 door design & side entry for 2 persons or more. So I would chose either the mongar or star river (this one is like halfway between mongar and cloud up)

[@mjcussen7458]

@@outdoorgaz5 Ahh! This is a problem I'm having. I'm used to my Clark Hammock; it has a weathershield as well as a tarp and it's cozy and very comfortable. As much as I've looked around for a ground tent, I just cant bring myself to buy one. I can set my Clark up on the ground, if there aren't any trees. It won't have the room of these true ground hugger tents. Presently I'm torn between the Mongar 2 (so thanks for the vid!), the NH Opalus 2 or 3 or even maybe the NH Hiby 3. I live in the tropics.

@@mjcussen7458 I think you will be happy with the Mongar 2. It is hard not to be in the hammock but the Mongar 2 is very well vented.

@outdoorgaz5 good stuff! If it did you well I may invest in the green rainfly, mine is the 20d purple edition which looks fantastic, but not very stealthy, kind of looks like barney the dinosaur waiting for the air ambulance 😂 I've found the purple rainfly clips on to the inner in the corners using buckles rather than the anodised metal pole receivers, which I don't think is quite as durable and makes pitching rainfly first abit more challenging. Time and weather will tell I suppose
