What's the Best Budget Tent I Own? | Heartbreaking Tent Fail! | HELP!

[@HazeOutdoors]

What tent should I get next???

[@mathyooo]

I’ve been having a good time with my Quechua backpacking tent from decathlon. Dirt cheap.. been using it for a year now and had about 20 weekends of motorcycle club camping. Not a mark on it still.

[@markdaniels8576]

Hilleberg nallo 2

[@rayfraser5537]

Snugpak bunker !

[@markdaniels8576]

£784 with footprint from Taunton leisure, there’s one on eBay for £300 but it’s 6 years old 😞

[@GETtwoIT]

Big Agnes Copper-Spur-HV-UL2 a good compromise between weight and space. We have the UL3, done over 700 miles with it, holding up like a trooper and its great!

[@DartmoorPaul]

I love your videos, Haze. And these one’s shot indoors are special too. It’s like popping round a mate’s house and having a beer or whiskey and just chatting about stuff. PLEASE keep ones like these in your routine as they feel really personal and special for us, the viewer. Cheers, Haze.

[@lt2246]

Take a look at the Dunston x-mid 2p

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

I’m thinking of getting something to sling on my bike for a bit of a camp. Love the reviews mate. You’ve got a great, chilled, honest style. Keep it up man!

[@addichat7865]

MSR Elixer 2 (2019 - newer version than mine). I did a two week trip in Sweden with no problems. Great tent at a reasonable price.

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

My first computer was a big C 64. back in the Christmas of 1984. A cassette drive was another present that year. So I love the “old school” reference. As to the subject of tents.....I have found that a frugal buyer can find great bargains on Facebook Marketplace. A good example for me in the US would be a Mountain Hardware Skyledge 2 tent for $50.00 dollars.i priced the tent new at $450-US. Because of a brain tumor I live on a really tight budget, so spotting high end gear is essential for me. A recent buy was an Osprey 65 liter AG pack for $100.00, used only once by an elderly fellow. With a bit of luck and some research, good gear can be found by those who are willing to wait a bit. Having a bloody incurable brain tumor has turned me into an extremely frugal camper. Thanks for your videos the steak challenge video helped me deal with a round of high dose radiation this time last year.

[@andy.greaves]

Abused spouse coming back for more had me lolling. Outstanding!

[@peterwolf3001]

Love the indoor camouflage. Hubba hubba NX 2 person tent. free standing. Quick to erect. Double door. £400 ish steep sided so you can open door when it rains without it coming in 2 porches, tiny and light, it’s well worth a look and now in green

[@Nabagabo22]

Hi - great question - what next? Firstly - yes be prepared to spend more, but only on what you will love! Highly recommended 'Tarptent' from the USA are well designed and well made. Perhaps the Statospire 2 is a great choice 2 man tent with double vestibules / entrance ways and being walking pole supported the tent it's self weighs very little...

[@theoutdoorappreciationsoci8858]

After a poor customer experience with Terra Nova I opted for the Robens Starlight 2. It has served me well. It's stable in strong winds and can be pitched quickly. It's relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things also. 👍

[@aliceg9571]

So you now say, “hey let’s take the lolly pop tent, shall we?” You’d have to live in that expensive tent for that price. I must say I’m loving the jumper but only you make it look the best it can look. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

[@colinme2672]

The best tent by far is Scarpa one from tarptents. Trust me. I've had loads but this bomb proof tent has, two porches, and I've carried mine up many munros and it has survived everything.. Goes up in a couple of minutes too.

[@petersmith2461]

I just aquired anOEX Jackal and field tested it in constant rain for 2 days .Bone dry so very impressed.. Now thinking about the OEX Rakoon. Both can be bought for just over 100 quid.

[@marjiecleveland]

My vote is for the Big Agnes. Very nice wall hanging and walking stick! Your sweater matches your room! 😜

[@carolinesmyth127]

Single Malt Whiskey fan here... Love Glenlivet with a little room temp water to open the flavour and to make it last longer. Luvin the jumpers.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I bloody love tents. Great video. I have the Lanshan and the Banshee (albeit an older model) - I do love the Lanshan. The Helm 2 needs my attention, I think. Have you heard of the Naturehike Cloud Up 2. A lightweight freestanding tent - not a bad little tent- outperformed the heaftier and pricier MSR Elixir in 60mph winds when we went out once. The MSR was mangled! The Cloud Up still going!

[@allwaysinquire6212]

I had a cloud up great tent sold it to my mate he loves it stood up to a major thunderstorm wild camping in the alps cracking bit of kit

[@Impalaontrail]

Best budget bombproof yet still light tent in my opinion is the wild country zephorus 1. i used one for 150 nights camping in everything from jungle to 10k+ altitude. Can take a right beating and never failed me sold it for twenty quid and its still going strong. Thats one sexy jumper too bro.. happy trails

[@Impalaontrail]

also have you contacted wildcountry RE ya helm2, there warranty used to be bomber and they might fix it for free..shy kids get no candy bro...

[@4xplore64]

Zpacks duplex tent, I bought the spruce green which is the heavier fabric of three colours and comes in around 600gms. It’s made from dyneema composite. It’s very strong and super light and compact. It has 2 doors and can be set up with 2 trekking poles or you can purchase 2 carbon poles or even a flex kit which makes the tent free standing. It’s a comfortable 2 person tent or very spacious single. I know the tents not cheap, but it certainly is up there as one of the best. They are made to order, mine took 6 weeks when I ordered it about 18 months ago but I believe they are around 2 weeks now.

[@Sam._.santacruz]

My special uncle who taught me to milk cows blind folded had the very same jumper 🤣🤣🤣

[@fractalofgod6324]

Pull the udder one

[@justvin7214]

Haha made me laugh 'Faster, faster don't stop!' lol

[@marleyduke82]

Haha ... i though it was a episode of Noel's house party in a crack house

[@BushcraftEurope]

He should learn how to do it also 😂 whoever wears that jumper

[@tartytube]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ++++++++

[@jodooxq]

If you do decide to spring for a Hilleberg, the Niak is a 1.5 man tent. It's fairly light weight and has a bit more room than a conventional one man tent. It can fit two at a pinch. It's a sturdy three season tent that will do well on the hills. But it will cost you an arm and a leg....

[@magicmike6517]

Any Hileberg that is a black label is absolutely perfect for all weather conditions and strong as an ox and the material is very thick and hard wearing it is a true must tent

[@richardmacyczko1580]

I'm glad you're getting another one because I've been trying to get a Helm II in the States and it is not available. Whatever you find PLEASE let it be available in the states. Peace out!

[@paulflannigan276]

I have just got the Lanshan 2 took it out in very windy conditions in the Peak district - held firm and stayed dry. Also the Nordisk Telemark Carbon ULW 1( 750g,) no issues so far. Nordisk also do the Telemark Carbon UL2, more roomy and still only 898g.

[@rokerman]

Spot on with the Banshee review. Brilliant tent and I will never get rid of mine. Great all rounder. Also have the green Lanshan 2 and took it on the Cumbrian Way. That's top dollar too.

[@KazM-Made]

I love your Sweater! But I'm a knitter so am well aware that it took about 100 hours of careful work to make that! [if it's a hand-knit]. Debauchery you say? I moved house this week so the only 'fun' I've been having is unpacking and finding hiding places for all my clobber! Enjoy your weekend, whatever you're getting up to :D

[@DavidDoyleOutdoors]

Tarptent Scarp 1 is a great specious one man tent, very strong and easy to set up.

[@r13gbs]

Weve got the Banshee 2+300 Pro's with footprints and gear store,,Great tent as its a 2 pole up in one plus the 2 doors so its not a mither if the wind changes and it they fit good with the 2 of us on the motorbike,Also what we do is take the poles out (stick em vertical)and stick the tent in a sea to summit compression bag so save on bulk,

[@banquo3051]

It has to be Hilleberg. Cry once. They are fantastic. Also I had my MSR Elixir mended by Scottish Mountain Gear in Musselburgh, two rips sewn for £30. Maybe get the zip fixed

[@steviesteve750]

I've got a helm 2, had to be repaired already; the zipper on one door wasn't working properly, because the slider was cheap and wasn't closing the zip teeth properly. Got 3 vangos, a scafell 300, a Mirage Pro 200 (which really is unbreakable) and a cairngorm 100 - none of these have ever failed in any way yet. I've just bought a Helm 3 as I'm hoping it's a useful extra sturdiness over the Scafell for more exposed conditions, but I'm nervous of Wild Country's quality control.

[@leetshots]

Another vote for zephyros 2. Kipped on snowdon in one. I say kipped I mean spent the night on a slope trying not to slide through the bottom of the tent. But it kept the moths off my Kendal mint cake if nothing else.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

I bought a Coleman Cobra 2 as a lightweight under 2KG and not expensive - not massive head room - but more than enough room for one with all your kit and for two if your good friends. Tales from the jumper!

[@lemmy533]

I've got a Coleman Bedrock 2 tent. I find it very roomy for myself and my dog and all of my too much kit. The only reason the Mrs doesn't like it is because I always insist that she carries the "Tent Bricks" in her bag. Luckily for me and the dog though, she isn't overly keen on the idea of carrying all of the tent bricks herself so doesn't come very often which is actually a bit of a shame because she's really good at talking me to sleep on a windy night. There is one downside to the Coleman Bedrock 2 though, and that is that there isn't anywhere to put the "Tent Bricks" safely out of the way without them actually just looking like house bricks. Maybe if they made a hidden pocket (needs to be able to hold up to at least 6 Tent Bricks) then I would be confident in saying that the Coleman Bedrock 2 is the best tent in the world. Until then, or until I find the hidden "Tent Brick" pocket I will just merely suggest the Coleman Bedrock 2 tent for your consideration. Happy Camping, dude.

[@bengimanbig6881]

my best ever tent is a shangla la Golight 5 man tent now not available but there are the copy's ? it packs down very small and its the only tent i and stand up in ( Tipi ) and put my folding bed chair and table in !

[@IgnacioGlezCllo]

Terra Nova Southern Cross 2. Not that I have it, but from camping videos and reviews (and the look of it) I’m in love with that tent.

[@antb101mb]

Our old £20 Coleman cobra 2 now made of 2375 patches and silicon done us proud. Am interested in the lamshan 2...but I still find myself under a tarp & bivvy?!!

[@M.Mchale]

I use a snugpak stratosphere bivi tent combined with a British army basha works for me....

[@bax1842]

As the song goes, the jumpers so bright,I gotta wear shades. Excellent vids/vlogs keep it up. Started buying all the gear, definitely going out before my 58th birthday. Can't wait.

[@pootlingalong8928]

Vango F10 Helium UL2 in case you’re still looking two years on. Love the jumper 😂

[@thepullens6844]

Has to be a Raclet Borneo. Only takes me and the wife 3-4 hours to put up, most of the time arguing which way round it should be. Had ours for 15 years, still going strong. Hope this helps.

[@rjt1201]

Loved this review! I have The lanshan and yep, it now comes in green 🎉🎉🎉 but its more expensive, got mine for £115 I think... My Personal pros and cons are pretty similar to ol Hazey to be fair... Pros: lightweight, 850g including pegs, actually waterproof, small packing size, double skin, porch! Cons: Condensation, but you can avoid it more by pulling the fly tighter, however this means it flaps pretty bad in the wind. I made the front fly section smaller by using duct tape and that worked at reducing movement in wind. Also, the pegs are just straight so I take pegs with a bend on the top. The inner tent also sags over night as tenperature cools. 😘

[@scrippyscraps7804]

Lots of people will tell you to get a Big Agnes something-or-other... after a year using a Fly Creek UL 2, I went back to my Marmot Tungsten UL2. The key is the sil-poly fly, which is incredibly robust and doesn't sag like all the nylons on the market. It's a bit heavier but still completely manageable.

[@daveb1025]

Klymit Maxfield 2, thats what im investing in. Brand new from Klymit and it looks as solid as a frozen rock. Their gear is the skits! Classed as 3season (full mesh inner) but design and set up is more 4season. Mesh or panel inner?? It's still bloody cold in a tent no matter what. More mesh means less condensation, just put a fleece blanket over your sleep bag if cold. ATB all, Dave.

[@Mrhaggis19]

I am a lover of the banshee have had one for nearly 10 years it's a beast of a tent going to keep using it till it falls apart or till I need a bigger tent.

[@gb4670]

[@jimmycooper7390]

I’m looking forward to Haze in a shopping trolley,reviewing strong lagers and white ciders. 😍

[@motosafari]

I have an MSr NX Hubba, which broke, but was replaced under warranty in under a week, but would consider it as 2/3 season. With that in mind I bought a 3/4 season tent from Terra Nova, Laser, for a 5 week trip round Europe (the mainland). Both are green for stealthy wild camping. Easy to erect (phnarr phnarr) and both weigh in at under 2kg. Not cheap, but cheaper than Hillbillyburger and have great after sales support. I also have a Terra Nova from way back in the day which has been my "basecamp" tent for extended camping stays and joint walking trips.

[@BushcraftNFun]

Landshan 2 Flames Creed. Great little tent and I put it through alot of nasty weather.

[@stonehill27]

What I learned about Lanshan and Flame's Creek, they are probably same brand. Sometimes they produce one item with several names/brands. Or similar product with variation for lower or higher price. Naturehike brand is most known and can be expensive.

[@thomasmcgrath4017]

Vango mirage 200 2018. 3 sets of poles, heavy tent. But strong as f....k. loads of space and cheap. Water proof, wind proof and no condensation. Takes 2 minutes to put up. Been in Scotland in storms with it, snow and did the coast to coast with it

[@leedryden4502]

Any views on the Coleman cobra ?? Me and my son are looking for something to do Hadrian’s wall hike next year

[@barneyswalks]

Go for the Decathlon Quechua Arpenaz 2 at £19.99 You can buy a new one every year for the next 10 years and you will still only have spent £200 They are very easy to put up and take down as well.

[@Alexander-zk2ir]

I bought a Bergans Trollhetta, not sure if it’s still in production but I am really pleased with it! Fits two people but really spacious for 1 man. Check it out, worth the money! Cheers hazo! Always looking forward to new vids!

[@ashmaybe9634]

My first tent was a 1.5/2 man Vango. Weighed 1.5kg. Bought it in 1990 for £100 and it lasted over 20 years of wild camping, festival camping, being lent to mates, the Lakes, Scotland. I never washed it, or reproofed it. Eventually the material just broke apart.

[@LosDTenaces]

Could go for the wild country southern cross 2, it's kinda the helm 2's big brother. Or send your tent back to terra nova or somewhere like southern mountain gear, and get it fixed and maybe reinforced

[@justinelliott9023]

Can't wait to see what you decide. I've got the Hexpeak V4 and find it a pain to pitch. I'm thinking of getting a Hilleberg Akto, because of the build quality and warranty ......... Not much help, but can't wait to see what ya go for.

[@iaincraig4871]

Lanshan 2 in black version. Excellent tent and really good for stealthy camps.

[@RobertsBulgaria]

That Jumper would be super for a stealth camp in a Jamaican Reggae Bar - Bob Marley Camo Pattern.

[@RichardOutdoors]

Spend to save. Soulo is just brilliant. 4 mins and zero faff.

[@SamsonsLeader]

I have a Mountain Hardware Viperine 2 which I've had for about 10 years and it's awesome. Not sure they make it anymore but worth getting if you can find one. I can send you mine on a trial/review basis if you like?

[@andrewclarkson663]

I'm enjoying the Robens lodge, two man, two door, robust, maybe a little on the heavy side for some. I love it.

[@Lee-70ish]

Good over view. Just gone over to a Vaude Terra Trio 2P £125 from Cotswolds not light at 2.6kg but 5000hh fly and 6000hh floor it’s a good low priced tent that will stretch to 4seasons

[@Datsyzerberg]

Good vid. Hammock guy myself so I'm not as versed in tents but I've been looking at a Liteheart Gear tent. I think it's what you want. Light n tough. Lots of ventilation and room.

[@bak2earth666]

High Hazey , send your tent back to Terra Nova there only in Derbyshire dont do what i did 35yrs a go threw a perfectly good ridge tent away because the zip had broke and regretted it ever since , it had a Polyester mix Cotton fly sheet and never condensated not like to days modern materials , like you i have a Helm 2 and Love it ,your choice any way you need a hat to match your jumper !

[@blackiesmisadventures3413]

Hi, have you ever owned a MSR Elixir 2 ? Just thinking of buying 1 for motorcycle camping 🏕 Cheers

[@usafairmanlord]

I use the REI Half Dome 2, sadly the rain fly failed me this summer after having it for 6 or so years. The taped (or glued) seams disintegrated over time, but the tent itself is still in fantastic condition. Plenty of room for 2 people, and great for star gazing.

[@UneasyRider]

Cloudpeak 2 on Ali express...or the hilleberg soulo. I was watching this and the missus walked in! First thing she said was oooh I like his drawers!

[@markdale8301]

Splashed out on a Hilliberg Unna a few months back. Great room for one, could fit two if close. No vestibule but can make an area by unhooking part of the inner tent. Can open whole side for great views out and pitching is simple (poles take some practise inserting). Not had out in extreme weather but am sure it will perform. Condensation not been an issue but have had the vents open at all times so far. Worth the cash? For the times I get to venture out probably not right now, but I don’t intend buying again in the foreseeable so hopefully it can be a trusted friend long term. Like the the foray into reviews. Appreciate your experiences. Cheers.

[@PaulMessner]

Sorry to hear of your loss Hazo. You have my sympathy. If you want a tent that will last years then I really do recommend a Hilleberg. They also hold their price really well. You could keep it 3 years and still get most of your money back. As for which one then that depends. I swapped my Akto and got the soulo. For me it's the ultimate 1 man tent. It is however overpriced now and overkill for most of the times you'll need it. If you want extra space then the Unna snd Niak are decent shouts as well as the Anjan. The soulo it a doddle to pitch and take down in all conditions. It's fully freestanding which is perfect for when you want to just move your tent that little bit. Decisions decisions.....

[@HazeOutdoors]

Great advice mate, thanks. I’d best get selling my internal organs.

[@PaulMessner]

@@HazeOutdoors some of the bigger shops in the lakes take liver or kidney as payment, however I'm pretty sure your liver will be worth f*ck all now mate

[@WildGingerBruce]

It's the compact vertion released this year so it packs shorter,... Don't be fooled into thinking an expensive tent will last longer

[@jimbryan2271]

Maybe not for you mate for couples small family tent but I've always found the Berghaus air 4 and Outwell vacationer brilliant. Bit joobus about the old inflatable but was alot less hassle and I'll be sticking with them. x

[@DaveScurlock]

Mate, I don’t think it’s false economy to get another helm 2. You’ll keep buying a tent you like and enjoy, and the cost is the same over time as a more fancy tent that you may not like so much (but only have to buy once). I bought my helm 2 off the back of you using one and if I achieve half the value you obtained from yours, I’ll be a happy man. Love the format by the way, don’t think there’s anything wrong with tales from the kaleidoscope mixed in with your other content. Kinda tune in for you rather than your location. Definitely crack on with the vid of your knives and axes, would love to see that!

[@muwuny]

Best alternative to the Helm 2?

[@nickwharton3234]

You should design your own tent you seem to know what’s best with them could do a cheap Hazeie special tent for them bet people would love them you have a very creative mind seeing the work that uve done. Much love can’t wait for the next one bro

[@NorthernLaitila]

Get a Hilleberg!! You will not regret it! I recommend the same tent that I’ve got, the Hilleberg Allak 2. Got it like 5 years ago after getting tired of buying tents, and had some bad experiences with bad cheep tents. I hike a lot in the Swedish mountains. The HB Allak 2 is so easy to set up with there hooksystem, even in strong winds. And it’s a really robust and stable tent! Used mine all 4 seasons here in Sweden. Yeah it is expensive, but you will have a tent for a really long time! warranty on Hilleberg tents is at least 5 years, in some countries lifetime. Bonus is that it looks really good on picture! 😉 Thanks for a awesome videos! Cheers!! 🍻

[@trytheoutdoors]

Super vid. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and humour.

[@peterfardell8950]

Hazypoos I know you don’t want to buy a Helms 2 again but if you did your old one would have a spare zip and loads of material for repairs and the like but after watching your review that’s fine going to go for one of them now so thanks for that love you man

[@affalaffaa]

Never regretted getting the Hilleberg Akto, but sounds too small for what you're after. The Soulo is more like it but watched someone, in the lakes, faffing around for a while getting it set up. Could have been his first time though. Hillebergs are tough as hell and I've never been worried when sat in there in high winds. Good luck hunting, as it gave me a headache with the amount of looking around and re-looking.

[@gordonwilly]

Do you think the relative lack of robustness comes from the urge to be very lightweight? My Vau De Space Explorer is (real world) 3.7 kg, very spacious, pitches very easily, inner and outer together with just two poles and very robust (and very old)! I'm sure if it had been built down to 2.25 kg it wouldn't have lasted all these years!! Hilleberg Allak 2 is 3.3 kg, but is very robust (and very expensive). If it had been 2 kg would it be as robust? I was on the look out for a Helm 2, cos I'm too old to lug 3.7 kg about nowadays, but I'm wondering if it's false economy. I really like dual pitching, but few tents do this these days, so Ill be interested in what you decided on in the end...

[@Hyperbod777]

Right Uncle Hazo ! Tents then ! Deffo the Mountain Equipment Tundra 2. They don't make em anymore but you can pick em up on ebay for £90 ish (£400 new) 2.2 kg, roomy and dead easy to pitch. Been wild camping in mine for years. Mint mate ! Namaste 🤗

[@adamdawson4742]

I love my Naturehike Mongar 2. 2 porches, great space, lightweight and cheap. Looks like a decent knock off of similar, more expensive, Big Agnes and MSR models. Not the best name for a tent but you can get creative and come up with your own name 😜

[@BushcraftEurope]

I crave for Talisker now cause of you... oh, tents are cool also

[@Ambushcraftnhunting]

Hello pal I use the alpkit ordos 2 loads of room and weight is 1.3kg it comes in green or read I use it on all my hikes it's never failed and as you no alpkit make some great gear

[@benchapman649]

Got a Coleman cobra 2 about 7 years ago, is a 4 season tent and I've comfortably camped in it since. Was around £100 and weighs 2.1kg. Seen me through the toughest of times like over 100mph winds on Orkney islands.

[@steviesteve750]

I've got the Cobra 2, it's not 4 season in my experience - the helm 2 which I also own is stronger in high winds, and the mirage pro 200 another level again. Only the Helm is close to 4 season because the fly can be pegged so close to the ground. Plus it's blue, which is as useless in the wild as a box of wet matches.

[@RS.Outdoors]

If you dont mind the weigh too much the Robens Starlight 2 is a great tent and excellent in stormy weather. Good headroom and flysheet fabric is great as it doesnt absorb any water. Had so mnay tents it is crazy and like yourself trying to find that covers all bases is actually very hard. Sad to hear what you think about the V4 as was thinking about trying one. Scarp1 tent is a good tent that can do mountains and also 2 person if required. Best tent I have owned so far and done winters and coast to coast walks is the MSr Access 2. That good going to get one again. Atb

[@mrrustyjones63]

Tales from the garden ... great idea like it good spot for knives and axes wood be nice and easy no humping 100 lbs. of stuff around the woods ps love that yorkknife its a beauty

[@monkeymox2544]

I've used a banshee 200 for a while, but I really need to switch it out. Its lightish, but you can get so much lighter for the same money. The worst thing though is that it pitches outer first (or all in one), which I just find horrible in the rain, particularly after a couple of days.

[@ug0t74ng3d]

Went and got an OEX phoxx 1 from GO today and they fucked up on the till somehow and I got it for 54p. Can’t wait to test it out.

[@markwalker6207]

Have a look at MSR Hubba Hubba NX. Less than 2kg, two doors, plenty of head room (I'm 6'4" and can sit up comfortably) can't speak to durability as I've only had mine 6 months (but it still looks unused despite use and abuse). Don't bother with the lanshan 2. I got one after seeing your lanshan 1, really disappointed, just cant get the thing to pitch right (much like the hexpeak)

[@jayhoughton4174]

I’ve just ordered a dan durston x mid 2 tent off drop, won’t arrive till next April like, but it looks so easy to set up and lots of room inside. Uses two trekking poles to set up, so quite light, and it’s dead robust from all accounts. Downsides are; it’s about $250 delivered, but probably another $100 in taxes and duties, especially after Brexit. It’s also a mesh only inner only, and it’s a light grey / green colour, so not very stealth.

[@TheJakey09]

Just rename the channel now to Haze Indoors!

[@stonehill27]

Bought Naturehike Cloud Up 1 this summer. The cheapest/heaviest (more durable?) version with green polyester. Used it three times in good weather. Naturehike has several models. Look at Melon Bites channel for his reviews. In spanish with eng subs. For my tent I can't see any quality issues so far.

[@jdmccartney1]

i have the Naturehike cloud up 3 .... awesome 2 1/2 person tent .... i have the Lanshan 2 awesome tent but it’s a bit tight for two it’s really one man and his dog , spot and a bottle of pop!

[@rkh393]

Don't know if its been said, but if you want it to last years and not fall apart maybe consider a canvas tent like the Polish ponchos and add/sew in a groundsheet? Weight obviously shoots up with that by about 1kg but you'll be golden with all that SAS experience mate. Xo
