NatureHike Wishes This Video Wasn't Made - NatureHike Spire Trekking Pole Tent Preview

I've never seen a tent this small before and I'm not sure if I should laugh at it or get angry.

What I have today is a trekking pole tent from a company known as NatureHike. This is a company who makes a ton of tents ranging from 3 season to even 4 season tents.

This shelter is called the Spire and in this episode I’m interested to set it up for the first time in this first look preview.

……
Thoughts and Impressions :

Weight : 3.2lbs for the tent without any trekking poles means this is still a somewhat heavy tent. If you are carrying trekking poles anyways then great, this tent could be of a benefit. If you are having to carry poles for this tent specifically and you normally wouldn't carry them, then this is a heft system for what it is.

Size : This tent is small and I would say only for users around 5’3” - There is a picture of a man sleeping in the tent on the NH website and you can see that his legs aren’t even straight in the tent.

I am 6ft 4 inches and love this tent. I enjoyed using it so much I cut my feet off half way up to my knees so I could have a more comfortable night

[somerandomguy]

Just a few months ago i brought the hilleberg anaris tent its a trekking pole tent. absolutely love that tent best money i have ever spent on a tent. Just pay the extra money and get something that will last forever.

[dolphard]

I am 5' and this sounds great (size wise...), and I use a cane for city life but need trekking poles for hiking. Can hardly wait for the weather test!

[marcomcdowell]

When you're 5'3", this is a palace!

[AirdrieRambler]

That tepee design will let rain in every time the door is opened 🤔

[giftedfox]

The tent itself looks good and the price is really something compared to other trekking pole tents out there. However, with the weight, size, and angle the tent has I don't see myself getting this. I am glad the Luke made mention that you do have to include trekking pole(s) on your person where that weight isn't included in the tent when being bought. I have a free standing tent that weighs around four pounds that is easier to set up and has more space (true two person tent), it costs more but is worth it for everything you get from it.

Did you make the outro music? It's really good. I found I have it up in the background to play out, like I'll stay in a car to finish listening to a banging track on the radio.

[amfr]

Good review as allways. Would be even better though if you give dimensions in meters/millimeters too.

[surferjoe]

Luke you’re blowing up bro looking big these days

[GoldDragon]

Looks to me to be a perfect fit for a kid/Teen.

[anthonydesouza]

Had a trekking pole tent once and found it really hard to get a good pitch on rocky ground (where stakes are a challenge). Went back to a freestanding tent and am much happier. I'm still tempted to give them a try again, but even excluding the ludicrously small size of this one, the weight just doesn't make sense. 3.2lbs isn't light enough to put up with the downsides.

[SoulQuJo]

Bahahaha great timely review, I always see this item during my amazon searches

[WNYXeb]

Love to see you do a compilations on your personal favorite tents from 1 man ultras to say base camps. Be a great education romp thru tents from a trusted critic. Just saying. THIRD, haha.<- sry.

[chrisf]

So strange that this tent has the same name but seems to be totally different from the model I’ve been looking at in the U.K… the inner has an angled part so you can sleep diagonal… with a little zipped access hatch into the vestibule. I can only find it in bright orange though.

[tobystrickland]

Luke don't laugh but someone like me at 5'3" would be great to use. Can't wait to see how it does on your testing of this tent.

[tei]

For the price/weight, I'd rather go with the Lanshan 1 or 2. The 1 being a single pole tent would probably be lighter than this including the trekking pole, and still offer more room.

[Tanko]

Thats the issue with chinese tents, they make them too small, even the Lanshan is too small although they have made a larger version now.

[leonardepureanu]

Hey man, nice video!! May i ask you a favor? Can you talk a little about your training habitus and exercices you are doing at the gym, around the fire on one of your videos? It will be cool to know, im struggling to loose some weight and put some muscles on even if im hitting the gym 1h per day and eat only 1300 calories.

[earlshaner]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures and equipment testing

[hedleythorne]

Would have like to have seen how much more room there would have been with the guy lines pulling it out.
