Tent Review & Giveaway | Hyperlite Mountain Gear Unbound 2P

[@WOODTOOL101]

I have been using a Hyperlite southwest 40L backpack for four years and love it. Excited to be going on a trip to Seattle with the family. To hike/backpack near Mount Rainier. Thanks for the gear review have had my eye on this tent. Thanks for all the content from your channel have been enjoying everything. More bike packing adventures please! Thanks for a chance to win a home.

[@nicolekirsch2043]

Hey Murph, thanks for reviewing this tent. I've been researching all sorts of camping gear recently. I am doing a solo hike of Te Araroa this summer, starting in Bluff going North. Already watched a whole bunch of your videos in preparation for that. From what I gathered this would be the perfect tent for the changing weather conditions in the South Island.

[@Ericidryfly]

I picked up the unbound when the tent came out in January. Very happy with it after about 30 plus nights and 400 miles on it. Couple things I would add. It does weight more then my Duplex but is so much more bomb proof and up to date. I hiked in Scotland and England in April and May and the tent handled the rain and wind with no issues. That was something I wasn’t sure my Zpack duplex could have dealt with. All in all this tent a winner. Great job on the review. Whoever wins the tent will be very happy camper.

[@alexsavin3173]

The HMG tent looks absolutely stunning! Its sleek design and rugged durability make it the perfect companion for adventures in the Italian Alps. I can already imagine the breathtaking views I'll wake up to while snugly nestled inside.

[@tevin620]

Thanks for the great review. I have been paying attention to this tent since it was released for a long time, and I want to take this tent to the highest pole on earth, the Tibetan Plateau! All the best~😊

[@johnhelmuth9718]

Wanted a zpack duplex for quite some time, but decided to first test out a cheaper trekking pole style tent. A few years ago, I got the 3f UL Gear Lanshan 2 for $100. With footprint and stakes, 3 pounds. Lighter than my 1 person big agnes jackrabbit with more room. It actually performed quite well. After doing more off trail excursions and longer days in the high Sierra, was ready to pull the trigger on the duplex for this upcoming summer (lighten the load). Well based on more research, including this balanced review, I decided to go with this hyperlite instead! Thanks for the discount code. Can't wait for it to arrive.

[@mrsjimhalpert22]

Great review! Would love to take this with me on a few backpacking trips through Rocky Mountain NP this summer 😊

[@NedVasquez]

Thanks for the thoughtful and thorough review. I’d love to take the HMG Unbound 2P on various hikes in the North Cascades this summer, including the Spider Gap Loop! Collie Astro will be accompanying me and gives the tent a 4 paws up😊

[@genefidz2426]

I’m taking this tent on the TA baby!!

[@sia_yer7254]

Thanks for the review Murph, I’ll love to take this trip to Yosemite National Park and do Rae Lake loop trail. Thanks for the content.

[@kitkatexplore9195]

Thanks! I will take it to the Rockies or PCT!

[@ChristinMottaz]

Thanks for the great review! I've been looking at Hyperlite Mountain Gear for awhile as an upgrade for a lighter weight tent. I'm planning a trip to the Eagle Cap Wilderness in August.

[@boostedshuttle2231]

I'd use it in the spring/summer to finish of the second half of the south island ta that I have been section walking. Have seen 1 on trail and it's light, with heaps of room. Sigh me up murph.

[@TheFraziers]

I would love to win this tent and take it on the uinta highline trail here in my home state of Utah!

[@MoveWithMurph]

The Contest is now over, thanks to everyone that commented, loved reading through all the places you plan on going in the coming years. You can still snag 15% off of one of these tents if you use MoveWithMurph15 at checkout! Happy trails

[@alikdoesit]

Me and my wife are going to explore Patagonia next season.

[@bazza959]

Awesome review, I appreciate the the thoughtful comments. I would take this tent into the Tararuas of New Zealand to do some trips with my daughter.

[@Vocalsound1000]

Thanks for this great review. Always good to see new and improved gear. I would take this tent to the PCT and the Hexatrek .

[@KathyBuffington-y4v]

This tent looks like the answers to all my tent issues! I'll be taking it on the Colorado Trail this summer. I am stoked to potentially get a DCF tent, especially with the CO rain storms,

[@kevinfiscusoutdoors]

Thanks for the review. Looking to use this tent for my 2024 CDT NOBO hike. I compared this and the zpacks duplex. I think they hit it out of the park. Looking forward to many cozy nights on trail.

[@stephenobrien7647]

Yeah, I would take it off trail to the south of the Eagle's Nest in the Eagles Nest wilderness, Colorado to Cliff Lake. Maybe 2 or 3 people make it there a year. Really cool spot.

[@BrookeEppaPhotography]

Thanks for the review… have had my eye on this for awhile. Fingers crossed for some luck in this giveaway! 🤞🏻

[@emilehussell7648]

Tent setup looks sweet, I'd love to take it out to the north west coast of Scotland. Cheers for the opportunity to enter!

[@anthonyzummo867]

I'm in NY and currently planning a hiking/camping journey from Dublin to Cork Ireland, so having a durable lighter tent like this would make my trek a sooooo much easier.

[@BananaSixx]

I'll be taking this tent on the Florida Trail to help finish up the Suwannee Section. Also I appreciate the well done review of the Unbound. Not a lot of reviews around for this tent so It's good to get a concise review of it!

[@DavidMcKeon-xu9cw]

Hi Murph, thanks for all the vids. Always enjoyable. And thanks for the chance to win the tent. Hopping to use it on the PCT. Good luck to you buddy.

[@timcraig3907]

Hey Murph - nice review. This will be coming with me on the Skye Trail and the GR 11. Can't wait!

[@justcallmemario3013]

I love all your reviews and what makes them so unique is your experience which always shines through. I created my cocking kit based on your recommandation, and I could not be happier. I´d love to hike the Rennsteig trail in germany with this tent. All the very best to you.

[@AARONdaniel174]

Great review from am apprentice backpacker. My daughter and I are going to start back packing Maine trails and looking at using Hyperlite gear. Thanks again!

[@reyolfx]

Thank you for the review! It sounds like a great tent, I would love to take it on my thru hike of Te Araroa this year 🙏🏼

[@paultillery1612]

Great review Murph, I’m fairly new into backing and at 61 overall weight of the big three is essential to longer hikes, Ive chosen Glacier national park this year as my first backpacking trip and has been on my bucket list for years and looking forward to many national and state parks to come. Just acquired a Hyperlite 50l and excited to test drive it in July.

[@kiwiDan03]

Hey Murph, love your videos, great review of the tent. If i had one I would use it to explore deeper into the Nelson Lakes National Park

[@eliottking99]

Thanks a lot for the review. Been looking at getting a new tent for the blue mountains. I would take this with my brother.

[@kiwi_velonaut]

First of, thanks for your videos, I particularly enjoyed watching the one where you take on Mt Maungatapu track with your gravel bike. I am slowly converting a bike into something capable of traversing the metal roads like the Mt Maungatapu track. I plan on taking the tent on trips to the rainbow station and molesworth and eventually take it further a field by getting inspired by videos just like yours.

[@VentureFarOut]

I'll be taking this tent to the wind river range this summer in Wyoming and then eventually to Nepal in the fall!

[@ZakMahshie]

Appreciate the review - I’d either do part of the AT in the fall or Lost Coast Trail next year.

[@mrDopeBear]

A Great lightweight 2p tent! I am planning a backpacking trip with my daughter to the Caprock Trailway in Texas that is 64 miles long.

[@sanfordguy5349]

Thank you for your informative review. I would first use this tent on a couple multi day canoe trips to shake it down with my kids. The end goal would be a hiking/fishing excursion with them to Isle Royale back home in Yooperland.

[@failingfreely]

Currently a hammock camper. I'd use to redo some of my favorite Wisconsin spots with a tent to see if I which I prefer. Tent would also ease elevation trips instead of dealing with just the tarp shelter.

[@amistern1242]

Hi murph, great review. I'll be more then happy using that tent will hiking with my son in the וsrael national trail.

[@guilhermeadami2945]

Great Review and absolutely amazing piece of gear. I would love to take on of it to my backyard, the southern Alps of Switzerland.

[@mwasy2713]

Thanks Murph -Ive enjoyed your channel so look forward to your reviews etc - I would take the tent over the Wangapeka track and return over the tops of Mt Arthur

[@tannergreen4333]

Me and some buddies from the fire station are going to the pecos wilderness in New Mexico in a couple months. This would be a great weight saver! Thanks for the content

[@stevendavis6556]

Hi Murph. Great review on the HMG Unbound 2P. I would take it for a section hike on the Pinhoti Trail here in Georgia. thx

[@Alex-and-Joker-Hikes]

This is the first tent ive seen that,for me, may compete with the x-mid2. Id love to take one on some section hike of the Sheltowee Trace this year.Great review.

[@Itsleighdavies]

I would hike the te araroa trail! NZ has always been on my list.

[@brent0624]

Great review of the tent! And thank you for your generosity! Good luck to all that enter. This tent would be perfect for my wife and I. We would take this tent on sections of the Appalachian Trail. I’d tag my wife in this post, but unfortunately she’s not on KZbin. We have done several other hikes and an overnighter to McAfee Knob. We would love to take this tent on a hike to Devil’s Bathtub in Duffield, VA for an overnight stay!

[@stevemaurer24]

I would love to take this with me on the Colorado Trail next summer

[@HybridHiker556]

Hey Murph. Me and the wife going on the Pinhote/Benton Makaye this fall. Would love to take it

[@Hiiyoo33]

Hi Murph, thanks for the review! I would love to use this tent in Eastern Sierras!

[@mdlouis1859]

This is awesome. I plan on taking this to the trailhead of the AT next year

[@nightowl153]

Great and comprehensive video of the tent! I'd take it on the Wonderland Trail, I've been looking at a new, lighter tent to upgrade to. I just bought the HMG Unbound 55 which will arrive Thursday!

[@WhY_ADV]

Great video about the Unbound tent! I'm a motorcycle camper and am downsizing a lot of my gear in both size and weight. It'd be great on my excursions through Nevada, Oregon, and California.

[@hikefishmakemusic]

Good thorough review! I'd like to see more video snippets and photos displayed as you voice-over the review points, but what you did share is helpful in visualizing your points. If I win the tent I will use it on my backpack trips in Rocky Mtn National Park and Indian Peaks Wilderness Area!

[@matifischer23]

So proud of you I wanna mention everyone from St. Mary haha

[@bobrb9801]

Last week I have tested Unbound 40 backpack and unfortunately it doesn't fit me well. But I like it visualy. So I hope to use this tent for hikes with my daughter in Czech mountains mainly

[@jamicrawford6729]

We backpack the AT, North Country Trail, Sections of the CDT, FHT, and various other trails in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, and Tennessee. I love the pods from HMG as well as their bag packs. I had the Southwest 3400, dialed in pack more and now use the Unbound 40L pack.

[@Dylan-jq7hu]

Really helpful review as I was yet to find one as detailed 👍🏼. I have been getting my 8 year old into hiking and we would love to take this tent out to the Victorian high country.

[@nedanother9382]

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Looks cool for sure. Its a virtual copy of the Duplex...made with far too light of material yet still comes out heavier than the duplex....I assume its the zippered version. Zpacks came out with their zippered Duplex also - with one glaring difference that should be concerning. With regards to the main ridgeline guyots - Already being a somewhat weak point for the duplex due to being staked out too close to the tent. In the new zippered version they dropped the tieout point from sewn into the heavily reinforced cup where the poles go down to the end of the beak with little or no reinforcement at all...all the weight of a heavy wind will be born by a little edge of DCF8. Requires a perfect angle to the stake and hope for no heavy wind. HMG didn't make that mistake with their version. - just a thought. I gotta go see what 15% will get me. Peace

[@jtm45bluesbreaker]

I would be taking this tent on my upcoming Father/Daughter trip to the Saint Mary's Wilderness in VA.

[@laandrew7258]

Looks amazing! Would love to take it on the Oregon Outback trail for bikepacking.

[@bluefire025]

Great video can’t wait to take this tent to the great smoky mountains

[@ozeran]

Awesome video! Love your content, especially the things about the TÀ as a fellow TA veteran!

[@wanderinghobo78]

Hey Murph, nice review. I didn't hear you mention anything about splashing into the tub while it's raining, how does it do with that? I know with other UL tents it seems to be an issue. I'd use it on my fall AZT hike.

[@MoveWithMurph]

I had no issues with that at all. Potentially because the rain fly goes closer to the ground so it has more coverage and less splash

[@irairaklis512]

what a great tent! good luck to all!

[@matthewmckague]

I’d like to take this tent to the Eagle Cap wilderness in Oregon! The unbound collection is pretty appealing!

[@neilcotter6035]

Great review. This would make a great tent for my solo hike of the Lost Coast Trail in Northern CA.

[@Janetasman712]

I'd love to take this tent to abel tasman national park in the top of the south island nz next summer. I could just roll that side up and watch the tide and sunrise!!

[@kevinyu9154]

Hey Murph, awesome review! I have been trying to dial in my gear and become ultralight. The places I am planning to go next is the south cascades and Mount Saint Helens, and I would love to have this tent with my on my adventure. Hope you have a good one!

[@haydennnnnnnnn]

Just discovered your channel due to catching the seasonal backpacking bug. I'd take this tent on the Colorado Trail! Hiked the first half of the trail sobo a few years ago with a stupidly overweight pack, have the itch to get back out there much lighter and smarter.

[@MotorcycleMonkey]

This would be awesome for a Yellowstone or Yosemite trip.

[@lawrence724]

Plan on taking it everywhere! To name a few... Abel Tasman National Park, NZ Wilson's Prom, VIC Alpine National Park/Dinner Plain & Mt Hotham, VIC

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

I'm doing the Sierra high route this August. I would definitely take the tent if I won. the last three years I've been using a homemade bug bivy and a tarp.

[@TerenceHenriod]

I want that tent! I've been curious about an ultralight 2p trekking pole tent and I wanna take it around WA state on lots of trips, rain, shine, or snow.

[@willemhergesheimer9790]

Hey! I'll be looking to use the unbound on the hike that helped me discover your awesome channel: Te Araroa!

[@taavettirautio3885]

Great video! I would take this hiking in northern Norway next year 😊

[@Daniel-Bones]

Heck yeah! Superior Hiking Trail, MN.

[@Vw_vonda]

With this tent I could take my aunt who wants to start backpacking with me, where will be go? And honestly that’s a tricky one because I suppose we should start short and somewhat easy, so I’m not 100% sure yet, I need to do more research (and I’m waiting for her to buy all her gear)

[@yuval159]

hi murph ! love the videos ! i would take this tent with me on my international trips along europe and mainly the alps ! cheers !

[@jarradphillips2218]

Great review! If I had this tent I’d make use of it here in Oklahoma’s Chickasaw National Recreation Area. I’d probably let my 16 year old son Gage have it to lighten his pack out weight.

[@georgebritt2812]

Great review! I would take this on the TRT hopefully can get the wife to come with if i got this!

[@rumpynz5470]

I'd never heard of this brand before but it looks great. I'd be using it for a bit of bikepacking in and around Taranaki up in the North Island, NZ. Keep the videos coming. Cheers 👍🏼

[@mikedeal7457]

Hey Murph hows it hangin

[@parker2882]

I'm a year 12 student in the Snowy Mountains / Koscuiszko National Park Region and have been really wanting to upgrade my tent from a Denali Kakadu from Anaconda. If I won this tent I would love to take it first throught Long Plain, a famous hiking trail location in my area and then next year take it with me through the AAWT!!! Goodluck to everyone else and I'll see you in the wilderness!

[@parker2882]

P.S. The AAWT is the Astralian Alps walking trail, a 650km long track

[@haiironezumi]

Great review, with practical considerations. I'd probably take my 7 yo on his first overnight hike, possibly in the Grampians Range (Australia)

[@bogestobirds]

I'll be taking this to Lassen National Park!

[@ntjedgar]

Hope to bring it to Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite.

[@oscarclaesson3867]

Great review! I would like to take it on the Kings Trail Sweden together with my brother.

[@kevinwilliams4143]

If I were to win this tent I’d take it on my next hike in the Smokies.

[@pjo-cf4ne]

I’d Love to takie this tent to Albania trip this year!

[@PeteBlaxter]

Sound perfect tent for an explore around Capola Basin & Gunsight pass in Nelson Lakes.

[@noesamyn1039]

First time seeing a review of this tent, do you think it would be good for tall people, around 1m95. If yes, I dd probably go to do the crossing of the pyrenes with my significant other, doesn't have a KZbin account so can't @ her but would be good as we are both quite tall. Anyway great video seems like quite a strong tent!

[@BellaVista1470]

Hi Garret, thanks for your great videos. I admit that I have been over the years somewhat a "bring the kitchen sink person" when tramping, and my body is no longer able to cope with heavy loads, so I am trying to go lighter and appreciate your tips and information. I wish we could easily access some of the US brands in NZ. I would love to take the Unbound tent on the Casey saddle Binser saddle circuit, and other South island adventures! I bought a HMG waist bag (fanny pack) recently and am looking forward to trying it out soon. Cheers, Aileen

[@brandonhampton7804]

First trip I’ll be taking it on is the tombstone territorial park in the Yukon

[@LoranWitteveen]

Love your videos!! I've been hauling a heavy tent or cowboy camping so this would be epic to win..... I would love to take this on my backpacking trip in Yosemite :)

[@russanderson144]

I would love to bring this tent camping in Puerto Rico!

[@lucky1124]

How do you become an ambassador for companies like you are?

[@dedisaputro655]

Great review @MoveWithMurph, some time ago I bought an elevate 22 and some of the accessories, it was amazing the mid 1 tent is very interesting, maybe if I had it it would be very nice I can use it here in my country Indonesia Explore many very beautiful mountains here 😊

[@aarondavis7764]

Thank you for the thorough review. I would like to use this tent on the Sierra High Route this September.

[@MoveWithMurph]

@arrondavis7764 you have been selected as the winner of this tent!! Congratulations, please reach out to me via email at [e-mail]

[@aarondavis7764]

Awesome! Reaching out now.

[@aarondavis7764]

I love hiking.

[@gibson0934]

If I were to win this tent I would take it on the AZT. Just moved out to Arizona and it would be great to take this tent out for a spin in the south west

[@navn8568]

I will use the tent in Sweden with my girlfriend and also when bikepacking 🙌🏻
