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

Hiya!!!

Well you all know how much I love my tent and I thought it was high time I did a more in-depth review and share my thoughts on it having used it loads.

I’ve heard so many people asking about what tent they should buy for 3/4 season camping and people recommending expensive models which I for one could never afford and actually, this tent is an absolute beast with so many brilliant design features!!!

I really hope you enjoy this video and the bloopers at the end - things did not go to plan when filming this but I enjoyed every second and hope you do too!

Thanks for watching everyone and all being well I'll be out camping next weekend!!!!!

Take care!!!

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.

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.

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.

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

fantastic review Karen!! the best on YouTube 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!!

Smashing review, great to see you’re using the tent lots and it’s still doing well. Great stuff!

Pleased I found your channel.
Got this tent on the old Chrimbo list to get into camping next year.
Videos are an inspiration and much appreciated.

Thanks for your long term review! Bought this tent two days ago 🥰 Loved it from the first sight) I’ve checked out lots of other tents in thus cost segment and they never got close to this tent! It’s absolutely good 😊 bought it for bike trips :)

[davidmaskew]

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.

Ur bloopers at the end kill me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmao! Great video as always Karen. Thanks for sharing xx

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

[loripage]

Great review, thank you. I have watched quite a few videos about this tent, and I found your video particularly informative, especially about the niggles (and how to over come them) and the hood.

[mattsmindfulmeals]

Popped mine up for the first time yesterday, pleased with the outcome, I may by a few for a venture I’m planning.

[boomshanka]

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.

[rachpwanders]

Brilliant review! I picked one of these up in a recent sale, but have typically been too busy since to get out in it yet. Thanks for your hints and tips, I'm sure they will help a lot on my first outing!

[freeforester]

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!

Hi there stumbled across you whilst looking at cloud peak videos was after something for me when up in peaks in wind
