INSANE - I've Never Seen a Tent Set Up This Fast - Naturehike Canyon 1P tent - First Look

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ต.ค. 2024
- This is the fastest pop-up tent that I have ever seen!
What I have today is an instant popup style tent that sets up fast and here’s the kicker, it doesn’t weigh a ton. With the majority of tents that fall into this category, they tend to weigh a lot and that’s where this tent breaks the mold…kind of. I’m speaking of the 1p model, with the 2P version, the weight really becomes noticeable.
As you are about to see, this tent is impressive and bizarre all at the same time.

Finally a Lightweight Instant Popup Tent - NatureHike Canyon Tent
This is a very interesting tent and in fact, you’re about to see just how interesting it is in this episode.
Person : 1 or 2 person
Doors : 1 on the 1P and 2 on the 2P
Included :
Storage Bag
7 tent stakes
Tent with body
7 guy lines which come preattached.
Materials :
1P : Silicon treated 20D Nylon Ripstop fly and 70D ripstop Nylon floor
2P : 210T Ripstop Polyester fly and 19t Polyester floor.
Both tents feature a fiberglass pole system
Waterproof Rating : 2000mm HSH
Dimensions :
1P : Measure on video
2P : Since I don’t have the 2P version I can’t state accurately what the measurements are.
Folded Dimensions :
1P : 18” x 6”
2P : 23.2” x 7.8”
Weight :
1P : 3.3lbs
2P : 7.2lbs
Colors : Brown for the 1P, Brown, Green and Red for the 2P
Price :
$155 for the 1P on Aliexpress
$160 for the 2P on Amazon
$190 for the 2P on NH’s Web site
I would love to see NH consolidate all of their products; they produce so much and their products seem to pop up all over the place and also disappear.
One day a tent will be on their website, the next day it is gone. Then it’s on Amazon and then it's gone but it pops up on Aliexpress.
….
Impressions :
Setup
Quality
Materials
Fabric inner - this is what i consider a big problem with this tent - this material is going to hold in a lot of heat while blocking wind -
does the door have mesh?
Size
Weight : the weight of the 1p is manageable for the trail but the 2P is rather high. High enough that I would classify it as a car camping style of tent only.
Easy to get into and out of?
Any issues?
Rain testing is coming up soon.

Those extra long ties are for when the tent is used with a cot, the extra length enables the tent to be pegged out securely. I think this tent was initially designed as a cot tent.
thats what i thought
As I understand it, the guy lines at the bottom corners are to facilitate setting the tent up on top of a cot.
With the cot below the floor? That is weird. But I've seen plenty of weird things for outdoor use.
1:58 The manual shows that as an option.
on the tent instructions, it looked like it showed the tent on a raised bed.
Like the litefighter tents.
I'll stick with my lite fighter 1
This is a lightweight version of a decathlon 2 man tent. I bought it about 4 years ago, so been around a while, it is more of a car camping tent. Great idea. Love this lightweight version.
One thing you should remember is that these tents are not only sold in America. Last Sunday I arrived for an overnighter on Dartmoor, England at 4 p.m. and it was 12C which is 53F, chucking down with rain and blowing a gale. it was only going to get colder and a mesh inner would not have been any good, although one obviously needs some mesh for ventilation.
So they finally figured out how to stitch together two umbrellas, good job :D
This tent looks like it is making way in the future product of easy setup tents. Naturehike did a wonderful job designing this tent to set up very easily. That design in itself can make this tent sell out despite the other flaws it brings. I really hope that they improve on the tent because this could be their ticket to being a more respectable brand.
Actually they are not first. I saw the same system in decathlon products a long time ago (probably they invent this umbrella like mechanism)
@@alxmamaev Very well possible, don't know every tent out there. Might look it up to see what are the differences. It is still amazing for the easy set up with the low weight however.
Isn’t Coleman the proverbial umbrella style tent? Not sure if they use the same mech, we can’t get Coleman here.
The instructions showed a Image of the tent put on top of a cot . The dimensions are based on the average Cot. If you put it on a cot you can get better airflow . If you go back to about to 1:55 minutes part of the video you can see the images in the instructions. . A couple of those images show cot legs under the tent. I have looked into buying some thing like this a few years ago. I don't remember the brand but didn't buy partly due to the length. I am a little on the tall side and would need something at least 80 inches.
Its designed for to use it on a cot, strange it was not pitched on one
@@Difusion2172 If you look closely at the Directions he showed you can see the cot legs protruding down along with the tie down lines. Stat the video at 1:55 and pause the video and count the tie downs in the different pictures. You will also see that the extra lines look like the crossed legs of a cot There are drawing on two of the pages he showed
Another good first look. As a larger (over 6’) person I’ve usually gravitated toward two person tents because I like to have my gear out of the elements at night and the extra room is good for added ventilation in warmer months. The width of this tent makes it iffy for me due to the same concern you had (a drawback to going to a gym). Thank you for sharing this review.
I’m 4’9 and this tent is perfect for me.
Love the tent, and your reviews, Luke. If and when you decide to rain test this tent, don't forget to put those rubber caps at the end of the draw-pulls over the holes the strings pull through to make it waterproof. It seems like a good idea, but we'll see! Lonewolf Mountain has the right amount of rainfall to git 'er dun!! :)
but there's too much fabric. are you a madman?! 😂🤣
It shares the same spider frame design as the Decathlon Quechua 2 secs easy pop up tent (I reviewed this recently - great tent for the money). The NatureHike version is much lighter though. Great video Luke. Looking forward to see you test it out. All the best my friend 😊👍🏼✊🏼🏕️
I had this tent as did my mate. They both lasted about 5 uses in summer before they started breaking. Sure the warranty is great but the mechanism on the decathlon one was super flimsy
it dosnt SHARE it COPY PASTE :)
and decathlon is 100$
@@McTAnGuS its just remind me of a umbrella mechanism , lol
secs lol
Three seasons , spring, summer, Autumn .. Always a compromise with ventilation , probably good for northern Europe . Fast pitching , handy for motorcycle camping . Thank you for the reviews.
This motivates me to come up with a guy line hack. At my age, there aren't as many things that amaze me anymore, but this popup design is amazing. All of he other popup tents have stowed dimensions that won't fit on a motorcycle. Hopefully the company listens to and implements your recommendations. Thanks for this review.
I really like my Naturehike Mongar2 during warm weather. I can pitch a tarp and just set up the mesh part under the tarp. So nice to sleep in the woods and seeing everything around you including the camp fire will watching a movie.
Great video as always Luke, but I would have expected you to review the 2p tent that's more accessible and only $5 more, AND is coyote brown! Regarding the guy lines, you can see at 1:08 that they're designed for use on top of a cot. Also, if the 2p tent has 2 doors it might help with the ventilation issue?
Cheers, love your reviews
That's actually a very good point you've made there about the cot. Something I would have never thought about but makes total sense.
Peace
Weighs double thst of the 1p tent and is thus a very different product. This truly is incredible, while the 2P tent I wouldn’t take anywhere other than a car camping setup
@@pedroclaro7822 if it's double the weight, then it's definitely not as interesting
@@mrtacohunterm.d.355 not in the least… Luke always posts that in the description, friend. Have a good day
I watch so many of your videos I thought I was subbed but I wasn’t (am now!)… I love seeing your thought process unfold ‘live’… if you are confused, we are confused with you.. it’s a brilliant and very honest format.
I like your honesty!
Regarding stakeout points, is this tent intended to sit on a cot? The lack of guylines, and width, seem to suggest rhat
You’re correct
of course, it's designed for that
Thanks Luke.....well done...looking forward for the rain test.
Pretty nifty: no untangling & popping together those little pole sections. We shall continue to watch Luke & see if it puts back in the bag the same way, and pops out again. Bet it does. Nature Hike has a pretty good reputation.
Hey mate, do you know the Quechua 2 Seconds Easy 2 person tent? It’s got the same sort of setup mechanism but is quite a bit heavier. It does feature „blackout“ walls though, which is absolutely mind blowing if you haven’t tried it yet. love your channel, you’re a star! Keep up the good work 😸
It's amazing what you can do with 2 umbrellas.
Pretty cool set up really, I'm really interested in seeing the rain test!
Please do a review with the tent on top of a cot. I am really thinking about buying this tent for that use.
I think they are longer ,so you can stake when you use it on a cot.
I think that the long stakeout points are there to accommodate a stretcher. NatureHike seems to advertise this particular tent as being used with a stretcher quite often, and I imagine that in order to set it up like that, you would need the long guy lines.
Do the rubber pull handles clip over the pull housing? It would be an interesting way the prevent water ingress. This tent looks pretty neat though.
I have a very similar 2 person tent from Decathlon. Similar pop-up mechanism. Same problems with ventilation.
Stakeout points are long because its designed to be raised up on a cot, they'd need to be to reach the floor from the cot. Also, as a brit, I prefer the fabric inner to the mesh, much more comfortable interior on cold wet british days.
Just got the 2 person version of this Naturehike tent. The 2P does does have proper guy-out points about halfway up the fly (guy lines included). No lines attached (or provided) for the corners of the tent body - so the corners are just staked. All required stakes (though small) are included: 4 for the body, 4 for guyouts, 2 for the doors.
There is more mesh, only because the tent is larger - but it's still not enough. I'm experimenting with placing a fan, hung from the "umbrella mechanism" in between the inner and outer. It is a perfect placement to draw air from inside straight out the vent at either end. Oddly, there is a small patch of mesh, on the fly, for the vent - huh? I'm not sure I've seen this, why would it be there, when the inner is the bug protection. Maybe it's for wind driven rain? I'm thinking of cutting it out to improve airflow.
The inner tent body is attached to the outer with toggles and can be fully removed. Would be nice if Naturehike sold a replaceable full mesh inner - ok, there's a zero percent chance of that. As was said, so much fabric was just a big "miss" on Naturehike's part. This could be a great cool/cold weather tent as long as those umbrella mechanisms don't fail.
I like the colour. I would like to know how strong those two umbrellas are at each end though.
Naturehike has been crushing it lately. I have not had a single issue with any of their products. Yet
I actually like the lower fabric part (actually thats a modification i did to my mongar 2, removable) because in windy areas like mine a full mesh inner means you'll get cold in the night
Would you do a video of your mods to the inner as i would love to see it , been thinking of doing the same to my cloud peak .
@@mickd6942 got a timelapse video in my channel showing how i did the mods. Basically it consists on a "skirt" made of widproof fabric wich them is attached to the inner with snaps. Take a look and feel free to ask me any question you may have, i'll gladly reply the best i can
Once you said made for a cot, the tie downs made more sense. low center of gravity and enough length to reach the ground.
Interesting product. Looking forward to testing. As a part of field testing make sure to try it on a cot as many design features are built around that. As it stands it looks attractive as a less claustrophobic bivy shelter. Not super comfortable but quick to set up if the weather changed unexpectedly or you misjudged how much daylight was left.
I absolutely love how easy this tent can be set up and the quality.
I almost would run and buy it except I live in a warm climate. Without more mesh, I would be very limited when I could use the tent. Which is sad because I REALLY WANT to use this tent. A little wider would be nice.
I hope those pull points don't leak.
Thank you again for the video
well like the idea of the pull thing to set up and take down would want it wider for sure No i am not a big person but dont like tight spaces , material dosnt bother me , more tie out out's would be great. Cant wait to see the rain test Thanks Luke
Not to different than my military litefighter 1 tent. The guy outs are long and low on the corners because it was meant to be used on top of a cot like the litefighter 1 just different connections. Gives you that extra length in guy lines to make up for the cot height. Very quick setup though pretty impressive! Quality of materials and how it fairs in the rain is my only worries...? Good stuff always luke! Can't wait to see you put it through its paces. Hike on!!
Yh i thought for on top of a cot or as a roof tent on a vehicle
I have a lite fighter too and it has great mesh for summer.
I half expected it to spring to life when you took off the compression strap and looking at the instructions I was curious about the low tie outs. It looked like it was going to be above ground. At 6"2" and 260 I would never fit. But aside from the design shortcomings, it does look pretty cool.
Thanks for the review, stay safe and God bless.
Seems well designed, can't wait to see how it does in rain test.
I live in New England. So for early spring, late autumn would be great. I camped and woke up to 25 degree nornings before. I like the quick setup. Some of the gazelle tents and ice shanties are a pain to pull the sides and don't fold back up that easy. As far as guidelines, my current backpack tent doesn't have them from the top either. But with my gear inside, never had a problem.
been digging my core equipment instant tent, owned it for 4 years now
I'm thinking that this may be a good candidate for a Bothy when 2 people are on a day trip skiing and want to get out of the wind for lunch. If they sit back to back it is opposite to a Bothy were you sit facing each other, but it has the advantage of free standing so condensation is not forming on your head and back due to you holding it up.
Love the low guide line probably to reduce the tripping!!
Seems like a good tent for winter if you don't get snow where you are.
Luke👍👍 It's a cot tent obviously. Maybe the excess fabric is used to strengthen the body, being this tent is designed to be above ground and an auto erecting product, mesh is not very sturdy. Who knows what the Chinese designer had in mind. S&H!
I would like to know if the flying bells do not damage the tent after a few windy nights.
Oh cool, I have a tent from decathlon that uses the same pop up mechanism. This one looks lighter and packs down smaller. I like this feature for car camping.
it seems like the 2P version might be worth a look though, with two doors it could be breezier, and it has more vents and guy lines. The price even on your own amazon link is $130, so even cheaper than you mentioned. Cool to see new ideas, I'm still holding out for a quick setup tent for the lazy car camper that you endorse and is reasonably priced. That'll be a nice sweet spot.
Decathlon made this tent for car campers. They have 2 and 3 person versions, also in blackout.
Naturehike made a good product here, since decathlon don't have it in 1p and light weight.
Like you, I love the way this opens and definitely wish it was made with mesh with a separate rainfly. Oh well.
The long stake out points are to secure the tent over a cot. That's also why it's so narrow.
I had a Coleman easy set up, was great. I’m 6’1 and couldn’t walk around in it, and it was hinged, so you just grabbed the center point and lifted until it clicked. Done.
Interesting tent easy to setup, good review thanks for sharing
I was watching winter camping in Kei Trucks in Japan, and the algorithm spit out folks hot tent camping with videos showing off the gear. I saw a mix of cot toppers and full one man tents set up inside the larger shelter. One of the videos showed a full transparent outer wall on the big tent for the view. I can see this being bought by their audience.
This type of umbrella inspired setup can be found in Europe on several decathlon tents.
But they aren't light or ultralight like this one.
But they have an other party trick. They offer a fabric that makes it pitch black inside.
I would like to see the the reversal of the process. I have used the popup type tents easy to put up but when it comes to packing away different story
Thank you for posting these videos. Can you do some reviews on multi room family tents?
Those long stake outs are great for rocky ground or if one must pile stuff on the strings or tie them to logs. Sometimes, I wonder the tent makes one take the same line to the upper guy out & stake it all.
Hmmm...no upper guy outs...must just be for like a festival or pop right up out for a quick pop in long side the road car, maybe a half mile back the State Park.
Color grading is on point lol good vibes. If you don't get that a lot but it looks good.
This looks amazing
I think the guy lines are long to allow for the cot and why it’s narrow as well to fit on a cot and with the fabric inside I think they done that where the poles are because of how it folds and rubs on the fabric when it opens and closes.
I’ve been looking at this tent for a while and I’m glad you made a video so can see it in action would love to see a camp in it 👍
Interesting tent. Looking forward to test night. Might work well for cooler campground nights.
that is a neat tent. easy set up, would fit in my dry bag on the motorcycle. but as you mentioned, little space inside for all the other stuff. and living in fl. little ventilation would die from heat stroke. i currently have a 2 person with heaps of room, vents on 3 sides, mesh is plentiful, rain cover goes over with sloping to run water away from bottom of tent, i have only set it up once, takes about 15 min. would like the 2 man version of this. i'll keep looking. great review though. thank you.
Thankfully that Forest didn’t get burnt down with all the sparks!
The pop up mechanism is a copy of those netted, food covers that keep the flies off the plate. Like a reversed umbrella mechanism. Cool.
I believe you mentioned this tent was designed to also be used with a cot. If so, then those guy line placement points make more sense for going from cot to ground. Indeed, higher guy line points added would be a big plus. Yes, more mesh.
I have the Teton Sports rendition of this concept and like it quite a bit, and have both rain flies (short/long) but prefer to use it w/o the fly beneath a baker tent style tarp set-up so I get that max airflow and rain protection from the tarp.
Excellent for stealth camping
A lot of the pictures I see online show it on top of a cot.
Seems to me that this is just two umbrellas supporting the tent. I am looking forward to how it will hold up to wind and rain. Very interesting system. =)
Amazing how fast that sets up.
Outstanding review, Luke. Thanks for you service to the consumer!
The tent is interesting, and it's roomy enough for one person doing late sprint to early fall camping, especially out of a car or off of a motorcycle. The two-person version is so close in price that it would be my preference for this manufacturer/line for moto or car camping. I don't care if it's a little warm because that generally works well in the northern half of the country, especially in the West where the humidity is lower and it gets cool at night. I like the fact that this tent can be mounted on top of a cot to get up off the ground, and that will also keep it cooler in the hot weather.
I would have liked to see you actually spend a night in it, and then finalize your report. This was really more of an overview than a true review. In fact, I'd like to see you use it in warm, cool, and rainy weather... so I don't have to (and risk trip failure)!
Great review!
I wonder whether having guylines higher up would/could effect the poles and how they work?
I can't wait to see whether the hubs leak in an all-night downpour.
Similar to the Teton Quick Tent, long tieouts are for when you put tent on top of XXL camp cots for off ground tent
Excellent observation/thought.
the rubberized bell shape pull is also a cap for the hub to make it waterproof.
Decathlon has a similar tent although it weighs quite a bit more. I am skeptical about the durability and this system being a potential failure point in the long run. Still though,a very interesting tent.
I have the decathlon Quechua 2 man. I absolutely love it. Now for the longevity test.
Got the NatureHike Star River 2, super nice tent for what I consider a budget tent. I like their products.
Agree, it has potential. But yeah, guy line points and maybe mesh doors on both sides. I think you were saying a triangular design with 3 pull-snap systems? I think that would be interesting. Not sure how it would work with mesh but thats an engineering problem. I like it though because it provides gear storage space, which this design does not. I like the potential in the design though. In foul weather conditions you can have a shelter set up in less than 5 minutes. I hope they take your suggestions as constructive criticism and keep working on the design.
Insane :D I was just looking for something I can use as a windshield during ham radio operation and although this is a bit large when packed, weight is still OK.
Incomparably better than bothy bags some hams tried.
Luke that was a good tent, but they have to change the material on this tent to make the air flow come in the tent move
Good review I can see straight away, I wouldnt fit in it though, maybe a larger version, also wary of the design for the windy and damp UK climate, but for wee folk in sunny places, who cant work out how to put a tent up, could be a good buy.
This cot tent has potentials, as you said, if it can breath and stay dry. I do hope the factory take your recommendations of those mentioned modifications serious. As always, great review and comments.
Great warts and all review. Thankyou.
Cool tent! iv been looking for something like this after my stroke.
I agree 100 percent that people will spend the money for a good product as you said. I personally, would love to use this for me and my dog (maybe 2 p version) if different materials but the same design was used. I would gladly pay $300 - $350.
Have you ever tested the Camppal 1-person tent? It's a single pole tent that has a bathtub floor and a lot of mesh. It's not a hub tent but as a low cost 4-season tent it's interesting.
Wow! That is super cool.
Clever Design
You always do killer reviews !!! You should head a international review board on all camping equipment, you are the best
It has a cot or camp bed that it actually is custom made for sold separately. 2 umbrellas it's a cool design
Really like the easy set up. I would spend the extra 5 and get 2 person. That should help a little with Air flow and does need something to hold the top down. Would b great tent under normal conditions
If I was a manufacturer, I would be glued to this channel and take some serious notes …I agree with Luke .. Naturehike need to consolidate their products.. they are all over the place, nice tent, for kids and the Asian market.. too small..
Been wanting to see thus thanks Luke!!😁
Looks to be very nice to set up.
Luke have you ever considered working with a Tent maker and design your own tent? I bet you could make it economical and durable
Question about your jacket. Is it waterproof, water resistant and who makes it? Thanks
Are the long adjustable stakeout points so long because it is also ment to be used on a cot. . . . Maybe that is also why it is so narrow. Just a thought
I wonder if the long stakeouts are so you can stake it out when it's on a cot
I tested a pop-up tent in a store. Roomy but, if ONE of the angled arms at the top breaks, the bowe breaks too. Could'nt, help myself on that one. 😅 Great option until the plastic connection stresses too much then it doesn't reconnect. Trying to recall the company, the concept was made like an umbrella.
Decathlon sells this system in euro more than 2 years now.
Do you think it could be used as a semi-freestanding tent when you find like and abandoned piece of concrete to camp on? 70D floor is pretty thick / durable for a light tent floor isnt it?
