Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 Set Up and First Look Review (Ultralight Budget Backpacking Tent)

Показать описание
Trev's new ultralight budget backpacking tent - the Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 - join him for a set up and first look review!

Trev's always loved his Naturehike Cloud Up 2, but has also always wanted to have a look at the Cloud Peak 2, too... Well, now he can as he finally took the plunge and purchased this robust, geodesic ultralight backpacking tent. Some consider this the best budget backpacking tent that you can get, its certainly considered one of the most durable for the price, but is it worth its additional weight when compared against such tents as the Lanshan and the Cloud Up 2. Here Trev has a closer look at this tent, and runs through how to go about setting up the Cloud Peak 2 from Naturehike.

Summit or Nothing is a great outdoors channel, making some of the best hiking videos on Youtube (your words not mine) with Trev and friends documenting their conquests and outdoors adventures of hiking, mountain hiking and wild camping in some of the UK's most beautiful National Parks.

great review Trev. I have tested it in dartmoor in the winds . when you get in and out of the tent open it from the top and slowly bring the door down because of fly door touching the inner and get in the opposite side to the sleep system in casewater drips onto the sleep system. I made a mistake of dragging the tent to reposition the tent instead of lift it. so I damaged the footprint. which I fixed with gorilla tape and lots of seam seal. another tip. keep the footprint attached for when it rains. plus match the foot end to the head end as the head end is slightly wider. I used longer and thicker Y shaped pegs for the soft ground . which are light anyway. Not sure about how.ot is goingto be in winter. oh another one. you can open from top down and fold the top in and wipe with a towel to prevent drips for ventilation when cooking. I am glad you got this tent finally . Glamorgan. weighs less than my Banshee 300. . not sure about the rain getting know the top when setting up. maybe attach the hood temporarily to prevent any water getting in..maybe have a small carabiner to attach it at first before it flies in the distance like a kite. Just food for thought. Trev. I hope this comment isn't condensending. Just wanted to share what I found out in the rain and wind. Take care dude.

Top tip - do the first clip from the bottom of every pole. Once that's done, there's enough tension to keep them upright while you do the rest. Saves trying to keep them up one handed. Also helps to minimise the profile until you're ready if putting up in a hoolie 👍

Hi great tent had no problems with mine. When putting the tent up alone do the bottom clips to the poles first as they will hold the poles up for you and then circle round the tent clipping up one level at a time. Wrap your guide ropes once round each of the poles when guying out for extra stability. I don't think there is much need for the ground sheet so you can save 200g or so there and also leave a bit more room in the tent bag for easy pack up.

Good video Trev. I suggest you attach the vent cover semi permanently to one or two of it's attachment points so it doesn't fly away during setup/takedown.

Hi Trev. One knot to learn, the bowline. You can do 99% of everything with this one. The only one you ever need to know. great review as always 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍👍

Trev, I own a Cloudpeak 2. It's a great little tent for the money. I went out in it in early November and found it was quite breezy. I wouldn't say it's a 4 season tent, but it's one of my go to tents for April through to October. The first time I ever pitched it, it was in the dark, peeing down with rain and blowing a hooley. We nearly lost the lid, thankfully my mate managed to somehow grab it as it flew off!! I wouldn't bother trying to roll it up when putting it away, just drop the guy lines into the centre, fold it into itself then stuff it in the bag. It will all fit in easily. One more thing when pitching it/taking it down in strong winds attach/detach the hooks in a circular motion, going around the tent as you go that way it minimises the impact of the wind on the tent. Enjoy using it, looking forward to your video putting it through its paces.

Yeah this is a very good tent, I had mine setup up for a month in the garden through all kinds of storms and rain and this thing is solid and didnt leak once.

Another nice vid Trev. I bought this tent from Natuerhike in the summer to replace my old one. 1st pitch out at Castleton one of the top loops that hold the inner up came away.
Still had a good night but I took photos & emailed Naturehike when i got home the following day. After a bit of a wait they offered me 40% off my next purchase from therm.
I can't fault that. I like their products & customer service so far. Keep up the good work.

Nice. . It is a rugged beast. Served me well for over 2 seasons so far in Canadian 4 seasons hiking. You will love it. It may weigh a bit more but it is a awesome shelter. Mine has survived snow, wind and rain storms. It is a bit overkill for the summer and I find bugs really love the yellow inner color but it does the job.

A very interesting looking tent. Can't wait to see how it performs in bad weather up on Dartmoor. Excellent first set up and first look. Cheers. Ken

I’ve been a Vango fan for about 20 years, maybe more but that little tent wow. Really Liked that review, looking forward to seeing how it survived your night out on the moor. Think I’ll be looking at this tent in more detail tonight on night shift, thanks once again Trev!!

Had mine for 18months or so now. Love it!!
If you cant stretch to Hilleberg money then this is the kiddy. Been out in some crazy weather with it and never missed a beat. Superb value for money overall 👍

“Just shove it all in” Is that what she said?! 😂😜🤣
Bought myself a vango tent bag on Amazon the other day. Perfect as it opens on the top like you say! No more struggling!! Worth the purchase.

Great tent, all poles same size. The top lid which some say they nearly lost just tie with some para cord to tent outer. No messing then figuring out the orientation when raining. Only negative is footprint should just peg down not the hooks, when windy would be a phaf. Slightly heavy but the size trade off is worth it.

A very useful video and a useful looking tent. Thank you.
Just one observation: I completely agree with you tying the extra guy ropes on now, rather than on a hillside in wind and rain, but I would have gathered each one up and loosely tied it into a hank before putting the tent away. That way they don't get all over the place when you go to put the tent up next, but they are still attached and ready to be deployed if needed.
