- I have camped in this tent for the last year, I wanted to do a comprehensive review of what I think, Pros and cons. I've used this in Mountains, snow, beaches, forests on varied terrain and conditions. I also show how to set this up for beginners. This is not sponsored in any way, I paid for this with my own money. NatureHike Cloudup 2 - Best Budget lightweight tent??

What is your go-to tent? I'd like to try the tarp tent Scarp 1 next :)
OEX PHOXX 2
This one 🙂
@@discostu2246 oex lynx ll lightweight backpacking tent its brilliant
@@englishwoodsman no.. the cloud up 2.. love it
@@discostu2246 no the oex lynx ll, I love it 😍 🤣🤣
It's nice to see you ACTUALLY used it on the snow. Great video. Thanks!
Great review thanks. I think that's swayed me to this one.
Also, lovely dogs and motorcycle! 😊
Just about to set one up! Thanks in advance for the vid.
It is a brilliant tent, really. I'm surprised how sturdy it is in the wind, considering the tall profile, but the guy lines do their work. I've been down to -12 degrees at the most, but it worked well still. I guess the 4 season label includes heavy snow and blizzards, which I wouldn't use it in, but cold is okay. The small mods I've made is to switch the pegs for bigger ones, just for extra robustness of it, and I'm about to put some string between the lantern hook loop to the mesh pocket as a washing line.
These seem really decent for the money. I have a cloud peak from naturhike and its well made. gr8 video mat
Not going to find many Great Whites in them there woods 😅😂😂 yet I'm still watching, I'm interested in the tent now you've sold the idea!!
Sharks and camping, whats not to like :)
Nice bike! I bought this tent 4 months ago for my moto travel trough Croatia with my XSR 700 but still did not have the chance to use it. Nice to know you are happy with the tent! :)
Regards from Croatia!
Awesome! The XSR700 is a nice bike! The tent will do you proud 😬
I like how firm the inside looks
Great video Matt very informative. To be fair it looks a cracking tent love the colour. Stay safe my friend
🏴 Ian 🏴
Thanks Ian! I love it, didn’t have any expectations when I bought it but seem very well thought of
Crackin video and review mate, very interested in this tent.
Cheers Jay
Great review. I've got the Vik1 and have been pleasantly surprised by the tent quality
OEX tents are defo underrated
Thanks for the great review. Answered all my questions without needing to ask them ! Unfortunately... the dog is the star ! 👍
Anytime! 🙌 still one of my favourite tents
Great Video...Great information...and Thanks.
Great review 👍
I love my oex phoxx 2 mate but this tent look great 👍 👌
Thanks mate, bang for buck, the OEX PHOXX 2 is the best tent out there!
Excellent review especially with the Weimaraner assisting, we have a huge and daft one and he is ace but daft haha
nice review, thank you sir! 🏕
I was considering this tent. I have to say though having watched your video, I'm not likely to go for it. IMO; the sidewalls are far too similar to an A-frame design. No shoulder room at all. Also, it may just be the way you've pitched and guyed it out but the fly is WAY too floppy and loose. It would seem to be resting onto the inner tent. A perfect way for condensation to collect on the inside of the fly and drip in. That would also explain your comment about it being very noisy and floppy in the wind. Thanks for sharing with us.
I think UK winters are different from Melbourne winters. Shall be interestin. Good job
Greetings from camper
I ordered the same tent but 1 person
Waiting for cargo.
Will share the review
watched all of it
I’m a tall guy 6’5”+, so I always want to know the interior headroom height. Why is that so difficult?
Great video quick question, Did yours come with mat I ordered mine and I noticed no ground sheet!
Yes it came with one mate 👍
Great Review, thank you! Do you recommend the color? I mean you said its good for blending in, but does it heat up a lot in warmer climates? Would you rather recommend the grey one maybe?
I prefer the green, I don't think the colour would make much difference in temperature, unless it was black.
At one time,they had white available.Dont know re.temp.,but seems would get.dirty easier?
Is the connection point for the Poles where they meet up made out of some kind of metal?
Yes it’s aluminium I think
I am going to wild camp in Scotland this summer. And me and my girlfriend are looking for a budget lightweight tent. We thought the Cloud up 2 was a great option. Now looking at this great review, it is maybe not the best option, because its more like 1,5p tent. Is it still a good tent for a couple that is going camping?
It’s an amazing tent, I’ve never been given anything by Naturehike so I can honestly say that 🤙
Have you used a Tarp over the door to increase vestibule area? If so,what dimensions
No never needed to personally 🤙
ive just bought one, but before using it, im concerned about how warm it will be inside and the inner always looks exposed just under the fly, have you had any issues? whats it like for keeping heat in around freezing? cheers
It’s not a true 4 seasons tent so make sure you have a decent sleep mat and bag, I’ve used it in snow and ice and it’s been fine for me though
Do you ever adjust the corner straps and guylines to make it less baggy?
Yes absolutely! Have done on some of the wild camps on the channel
@@AirbornePirates don't wanna sound like a n*b but it might have been better for your video if you would have done it for this video. The tent looks a little sad that's all and it might put people off... I've had my eye on one of these for a while now but I'm a bit disappointed they got rid of the front vent when they 'upgraded' it.
@@GrizzlyGaz for the money bud I don’t think you’ll get more but tents are so personal, each to their own 👍 cheers
Looking at this as a potential bikepacking tent. Does the vestibule door open from the top as a way of venting the porch when cooking with the door closed? Can't see how would vent the porch when cooking if didn't. Has now become a must on my check list for suitable tent.
No I don’t think so but you could leave it slightly unzipped 👍
@@AirbornePirates Unzipped from the bottom.. Seems design flaw to not to have the option of having the door double zipped to br able to open a gap at the top of the door.. Only other venting option woulf be to rely on the rear vent expecting the air flow to move over the inner and out the rear vent.
i received the tent from Amazon today. Is it normal that one pole is already bended??
Yes mine came pre bent too 👌
Do you recommend nylon over polyester?
20D nylon one
Andbody use this tent that is 6ft plus? I’ve just sold 2 tents because my head and feet were touching. I’m fine in the cloud peak 2 but want a smaller and lighter tent that is still long enough.
I’d say there’s defo room for anyone under 6’5
Is it long enough for someone 6ft
I’m 6ft pretty much 👌
It’s a shame the footprint coverage doesn’t include the vestibule.
I was literally scared when your dog jumped in I thought you about to get attacked by lynx or something. But we all know camera man always live
I have noticed you don´t use a mat as the first protection layer, is that unnecessary, is the floor durable enough for any kind of ground in the nature?
I’ve never had any issues and I’ve used it in lots of places it comes with a footprint anyway if you desire
@@AirbornePirates thanks for your answer 👍
I'd say use footprint.This floor is thin,and it comes with tent.Ive paid 30$ to protect another tent.Keep tents for years with minimal maintenance!
how long are the poles when folded ????? thank you
Around 30cm
I'd say about 18 inches,ballpark.The whole set up with footprint would fit in most packs easily.
Whats the weight? Amazon varies in weight from 3.75lbs to 6.1lbs.
2.1kg
Just to say ,i have the first version of this 20d nylon also, they said it was 1.7 k for the tent plus 250 gr for the footprint but when i got it and checked i only got 1.6 total.
The wingman one looks tasty but £££. (Does come with a mattress).
Intro music from the midevil times lmao
I’m a bit Celtic music fan
So when are you doing a camping video pal 👍
Plenty on the channel already mate 👌
Iv watched them all I was just asking that's all liking your videos keep them coming 👍
New night cat outer frame destroys this tent!
Think I've betrayed you just bought an off grid camper 😊
Nothing wrong with that buddy 😬
@@AirbornePirates i know shes lovely hoping to head IOM July time in it would like to bring one of my bikes too guess we'll see
Let me know if you come over 👌
@@AirbornePirates will do dude
i have experienced a light rain on this tent and this is NOT waterproof at all...neither the mat or the tent. big fail.
Get a new one. You probably got used tent or you may be talking about different tent. Got it tested unser 2 days non stop high wind rains not a single drop.
One rubbish pocket... And inner pitch first! No good for UK camping
I’ve used it for years with no problem. Plenty of other options I agree 👍
Don't buy Chinese!.
Everything is manufactured in China 👍
Lol good luck buying a phone or computer
