Reallly great review, that fixed my decision for this tent. I had some concerns about condensation problems, but if you coud use it in wintertime in Canada, I will have no problems for a 3 season use here in Germany. Happy to have this review with metric data. These Inches and lbs makes me mad.
An excellent review and presentation! You've conveyed a wealth of information in a very systematic and clear way. You are a natural educator! Before I watched this video, I was considering the UL Obsidian Featherstone Lightweight Backpacking Tent as it sells for about $105 US, although that tent has a rain fly, but no footprint.
Thanks forn the job, this is a very good and full of details vídeo, i'm waiting for my Vik 2 and expect enjoy in the montain son. Bye from Córdoba Spain,
Excellent video and magnificent landscape! Is the fact that there is only one wall a disadvantage for spending the night, i.e. does the cold or, in your case, heavy rain filter in more? Thank you very much and greetings from Mexico.
Great tent Jeremy!. Thanks, appreciate all of these lightweight tent options videos. Really like the design, well thought out. That's awesome that it comes with the footprint. That's aggravating with most tents, having to buy the footprint separate. The price isn't bad at all. That's nice too that you can get one with snow skirts for the winter also. Hope it comes in green.👍👍🏕
That's a nice tent but I still like the Hammock set up that U have !! There's nothing more Relaxing then then swinging between two trees. Peace Brother 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌
I want to buy this tent and it is giving me the option of a skirt on the tent or not.. do you think the skirt makes a huge difference? I’m not camping in huge feet of snow if I do winter camp.
군더더기 없는 멋진 설명 이다 나는 한국의 zerogram 엘찰텐 텐트 , 일본의 dod 왈라비 , 중국의 naturehike vik 2 를 쓴다 .. 피칭후 마음이 든든한건 엘찰텐 이지만 , 가볍고도 넓으며 텐트 가장 구조가 마음에 드는건 vik 2 다 최근 7001 으로 폴대가 나와 더욱 강성이 더 보강 되어서 왠지 폴이 위태해보이는 큰 단점이 사라졌다 vik 의 가격이 좀 올라도 텐트 길이 와 지붕이 약간만 더 길고 높고 스킨만 다이니마로 나오면 완벽할거 같아
I have the Cloud-Up 1p NatureHike and I can attest its a great tent. This looks like an even better product. I really on the Vik1 how you get in on the side, instead of crawling in the front like mine.
Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about checking out their new motorcycle camping tent but since I have no experience with this brand and the fact that these are moderately priced, I'm kind of concerned about quality. They have the new tent on special for like $359. 🤔
i've read online multiple times that the naturehike vik 1 is too short for people 170cm tall or more, is this really true? i'm 174cm and don't wanna touch the walls and get my sleeping bag wet...
I've sent an email to nh and asked if they plan to offer more colors. Their reply: "I'm sorry that this model only has this color. Maybe you can choose another style." What a pity. Not usable for stealth camping 😞
Single wall tents dont work for me. Drenched sleeping bag every night. Unlike lanshan 2 that with certain creativity could be used in any conditions, this one ended up needing a bivy bag to save my sleeping bag from condensation drops from ceiling. I strongly believe the only use for a single walled is a membrane tent for multisport or summiting, but for backpacking nah, thanks.
@@Lonewolfwildcamping in winter this is even worse for me. My breething condensation freezes and falls right back on me with one huge plaster of ice in the morning as soon as i slighly move. Even when it's not winter, morning comes and morning dew sets not on tent, by on my sleeping bag, because dew point works on temp difference. It's already bad enough with most double walled tents that have any amount of mesh in the top area, and surpsingly managable with fabric inners, like 3f ul lanshan 4 season inner tent or 3f ul floating cloud 2 fabric inner. I do not have extensive use of this tent, maybe i dont get the way how to use it, but in winter i pick naturehike cloud peak 2 over this despite any weight difference.
@@mezmerya5130 I'm a newb in tenting, and I was thinking opposite from what you are relating here. Looking at the Lanshans I was going to go for the 3 season over the 4 season specifically because I imagined the mesh inner on the 3 season would be better to reduce condensation because of "breathe-ability". Your experience however, is that the 4 season fabric inner works better to reduce condensation, which is opposite of my imagined scenarios. Do you think that the issue is less about breathe-ability, and more about temperature differentials...thus the fabric inner reduces temp differential more and so reduces condensation more?
@@thankmelater1254 You dont get it. it doesnt' reduce condesation. It cancels drafts and doesnt allow condensation to drop right inside the tent, or ice to fall right on top of you when it's cold. I use fabric inners only for sub-zero temps, 3f ul sells them separately.
Considering to buy this tent for winter use here in Finland. We get fair amount of snow here. Do you still use this tent? Does it perform well in snowy conditions?
How you doing sir I think you are a very knowledgeable person when it comes to camping question for you is what kind of tent would be the best tent to get for a all year round tent
LoL!!! Inches and pounds please!!!!😉 Could I please ask how tall you are? I noticed as you are setting in the door-way, describing the awning, your hat is touching the top. Just trying to get a perspective of how high it is. Thanks!!!! Roger
@@Lonewolfwildcamping Thanks!! I've been wanting a tent of that style, but too many to choose from, to hard to choose. This little tent really showed well, then you demonstrated the awning. That sold me. I don't think I've seen that feature on a small tent before. Stay safe! Roger

Check out this tent in winter snow conditions
Love my Vik 1! Roomy, light, never any condensation and so easy to setup and use.
I just bought this tent and I love it. This is one of the best reviews I've seen of it.
Great to hear!

Hi, did you go for the tent? Shopping for a new tent and like the look of this one, would be keen to hear your review.

Just picked one of these up on sale for $65 CAD, I'm through the moon thanks for the review!
🤙🤙🤙🤙
After watching many reviews of the Vik1 I'd judge yours (Lone Wolf) the best -by a country mile. I also own one of these.
Mine hopefully coming tomorrow, damn postal services. Can't wait.
I've used the NH Spider 1p tent. Got it back when it was $70 as my first bikepacking tent. Was a pretty solid budget tent if a bit basic.

Thanks. So far it has proven to be a very good tent
@@Lonewolfwildcamping I would really like to get one. Thanks again
Thanks for the great review of this tent, I bought one a while back and had no idea all the things you could do with it!!
Thank you, glad it was useful
very in-depth thanks for doing this
Compact & Slick Lil Rig It Is, Thanks For Sharing " J " ATB T God Bless
Thanks alot, its a great tent 🤙
Best review about Vik1 !
Great...thanks for sharing always video...
Thank you 😁
Great review. Thanks for it!!
That's a nice tent but I still like the Hammock set up that U have !! There's nothing more Relaxing then then swinging between two trees. Peace Brother 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪✌✌
Thank you very much
That's purdy slick 👍👍
Thanks 👍🌲
I like it! Should maybe call it the Antenna tent, the way those poles looked when assembled . Like the specs.
Very versatile for its size!
😁👍
Definitely a great little tent 😁
Great content. A beginner question; what are the pros and cons of a single-walled vs. double-walled tent?
Thank you, single wall tents are great at saving weight, double wall tents generally handle condensation better due to a mesh inner separation
Thanks for the review 🙏 looks like a proper and affordable tent. That brings me into shopping mood 🤩
Glad I could help
Great review and very creative with the use of the trecking poles.
Thank you
I want to buy this tent and it is giving me the option of a skirt on the tent or not.. do you think the skirt makes a huge difference? I’m not camping in huge feet of snow if I do winter camp.
Like like my friend
😄😄😄

Hello sir new friend here watching from Philippines
Thank you 😁
Cool tent awesome video
Thank you
Nice. Hopefully they can send you the Mongar 20d, CloudUP 20d, Taggart, Cloud Peak,Picnic, Carrus and Shared-2 tents to review.....
Thanks, that would be really awsome. I would love to use those tents as well
Acha hy 👌🇵🇰
👍😁
Dyneema one would be awesome.
I think it would be loud and hard to sleep, like chip bag

Awsome, im definitely a fan of side entry tents
The most complaints for this tent is condensation problems
Great review, thank you!
😁👍
Great review. Have you personally weighed everything yourself or did you get weight from nature hike. Thanks.
Thank you, all specs are from Naturehike
Thanks for getting back to me. There seems to be
Nice tent.i have one

i'm 174cm and don't wanna touch the walls and get my sleeping bag wet...
Does the roof vents have a mesh?
Yes
Thank you for the review video, i love this tent it seems so cool and compact. By the way is there a green color version?
Thank you, I believe this is currently the only color option available
@@Lonewolfwildcamping thank you Jeremy :)
I've sent an email to nh and asked if they plan to offer more colors. Their reply: "I'm sorry that this model only has this color. Maybe you can choose another style."

Good review Jeremy
Thank you
👍👍👍✔️
😁
All you have to do now is stake it out have it rain and see if it's going to be waterproof..
I have, used it many times in snow and rain. th-cam.com/video/ZrM3v-QB7WM/w-d-xo.html
😁🤙
🤙👍😃 What about condensation issues?
Not too terrible to be honest. I camp on the ocean or lakeside alot and the breeze dries the tent
@@Lonewolfwildcamping thank you for the answer. I live in a coastal region in sweden. So this may be a solution
I think it would be suitable
Great review
Thank you
what is freestanding tent?.
Stands up by itself when poles are assembled. No guy lines or legs needed to stand
Considering to buy this tent for winter use here in Finland. We get fair amount of snow here. Do you still use this tent? Does it perform well in snowy conditions?
I use it in all 4 seasons
It’s a No in TX
No mesh too Hot.
How you doing sir I think you are a very knowledgeable person when it comes to camping question for you is what kind of tent would be the best tent to get for a all year round tent
Thank you. I use summer tents all year round , sometimes in winter I use no tent
👍🏴
👍😄
Would a 6’3” male be able to fit in it with extra room and not touching head or toes to walls while on 3” air sleep pad ?
Not likely
Solid review. Good job.
Thank you 👍
