10 minutes in.... Your argument of having to unlatch the weather tub from the door to open it and leaving all the stuff open to the weather...... I mean just saying if you are opening the door you are literally opening the whole thing to the weather so obviously you won't be doing such things in the rain..... If the weather is good enough to open the vestibule all the way then why would you have to worry about the gear tub being opened to the weather 😅 just kinda seems like you are overthinking that part....

Not enough mesh for my liking and being too expensive for a tent with the cheaper option to mesh. But I tend to camp in warmer months as well and want ventilation. And there are better options and I’d say quite a few that just are better. But have to give credit to MSR for the design. Just in my opinion they haven’t kept up with the industry but are changing a premium.

Rather useful information! I also was initially thinking it would be TL/Dr…. But after the initial intro the talk got very informative! Plenty of takeaways & you & their piece was just right. Thx! It’s currently 110 in California (for a week or so) & tips can be gained here.

I just bought this on Amazon with the solar panel for under $900 for a father's day sale. I was worried about not getting a name I recognized but so far, so good!

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing the Essentials for a day hike. I like the essentials that you chose. All the best to you and your Family. Stay safe out there. 😮

I have this tent, and it's a very good tent, but I don't think it's the most popular tent ever. For every Hubba Hubba on the AT, I saw 10 BA Tiger Wall 2 tents. Zpacks being the most I saw over the BA TW 2, followed by Durston then Hubba Hubba, then Nemo the least. Can't knock this tent one bit, mine is 6 years old and I still care it on certain trips. Just saying I don't see it on the east coast trails enough to call it the most popular. Maybe out west it is, but even the three trails I've done there, BA and Zpacks still take the top two :). Very good video though, and I enjoyed the comparison video between the Dagger and Dragonfly Nemo tents, well worth the watch.

I only purchased because on sale. I would not renew. As a backpacker knowing if there are water sources is so important. I can’t find anything on those on the maps. Useless in that regard and to me that’s important.

Great tent for all

All that white fabric where it used to be black mesh in older models - does this come with a marked decrease in breathability? How would this thing perform on a humid or rainy night? Hot and steamy? Condensation?

dont like any but the Nemo. i AGREE about the digging into the pit's . i dont like that. so i found a fix by something i was alrready carring so it is a win win for me. however i didnt know about the Trekology !!! i would love to check it out... i like to b low !😊 thanks for the show n tell 😊

I have the older model of this. I love it. The only thing I'd complain about is that the mesh is pretty light so my dog (beagle) ripped through bits of it with his claws when he was a baby. I had to get patch kits. Still works it's just funny looking now - which is probably the story of my life.

>I used to blast down the trail hands free. Now that I'm in my 60's trekking poles have become a staple. Even when scrambling up and down a steep bolder trail with a 40 lbs. pack I found them very important. >A fancy tent? I got a 3+ season Alys one man tent. Is the weight savings really worth it? I'm thinking of looking into a 2 man tent for the added room, maybe... > I'm toying with the idea of a chair, one that uses trekking poles. Getting up from the ground isn't as easy as it used to be! >Back in the day I'd cook my dinner in my mess kit over an open fire! But let's face it, a freeze dry package is lighter and doesn't attract wildlife like a grilled steak! The isobutane fuel cartridge fits in my stainless-steel cup and the Primes stove doesn't take up much space. No need to upgrade!

Devin, what pack was the child wearing in this short? A kids backpack video would be great! Thanks

At just $100 more, the Durston xmid 2p pro starts to sound like a bargain!

Good luck to you! What happened to Waymark? Are they no longer in business?

Can I attach this camera in a neck mount for my running trips in the forest

I use 3-liter CNOC bags because more water why not and at the time it was hard to get the 2-liter bags, but hands down the swayer bag is so bad I'm surprised Swayer even still 6 years later include it with their filter

What kind of ground sheet are you using there? With the 4 vertical walls to keep things inside?

I got mine in 2006 on sale as a floor model from MEC, guided 2 summers worth of canoe trips sleeping in it every night. The inside got sticky after about 8 years and they replaced the fly and the bag for free, then the pole split lengthwise when my friend borrowed it at about 12 years old and they replaced the whole set of poles for free. It might not be my favourite tent now but I loved it when I was living in it and it’s the one that’s been the best investment in customer service

Day hike,within a day ,actually about 8 hours 4 in 4 out of.

The Flash 55 carries so well. I borrowed one from a friend just to try it on a weekend trip and I really liked it, but I just can’t get past the color options, because they are so terrible. I know that that is subjective, but it would really be nice to have more muted tones available for the Flash 55. I know they make a green color as well, but after seeing it in person at a local REI, it would be nice if it were even more muted. Brightly colored packs just get dirty so quickly. Thanks for the review!

6ft 4in here, If it doesn't have a 94in long floor its not worth considering

What's the tent in the background?

What manual coffee grinder were you using?

Check the rei for comments under this version of Hubbа Hubba, before buying it, there is some serious issues with quality.

Had to rewatch this video after the recommendation of the dragonfly 3p variant

I have an older version of the 1 person with aluminum poles. It has held up well and even though I own an Xmid Pro 1, I still sometimes bring this tent due to its tiny footprint and ease of set-up. Sometimes, you just want a freestanding tent.

Thanks for your review & content! I've been using this tent for years and am very happy with it. Used primary for 3 seasons but have been in light snow conditions as well. It has performed exceptionally well. Very pleased with it. Best wishes....

I opted for the Naturehike Mongar 2 which is basically a clone of the Hubba Hubba but with aluminum poles, a little bigger and a little heavier. It's also mostly mesh, and better venting in the fly. At $179 CAD it was an easy call to make. Great little addition to the hammocks, gives you more room to move around during bug season as well. Good stuff!

I borrowed a Hubba Hubba for a 2-week backpacking trip where I couldn't use my beloved hammock rig. I think it was a slightly different model than this one though. It's a bit heavier than I would have liked but not terrible. And while I didn't get much rain on that trip it stood up to some insane winds. I actually had the choice between that and an REI Flash tent which would have been a bit lighter, but I had heard that the MSR was sturdier, and it was! ...which was good because I was borrowing it and didn't want to damage/replace it.

The hot night is usually solved that you do not put a fly. The benefit of a freestanding tent

Really awesome tent other than it being made out of silnylon. Nemo beat every other brand to the punch with their OSMO fabric that really outdoes the competition

I have had the 2 person Hubba Hubba since 2018 and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have had a dog sleeping under the vestibule outside the tent body roll onto the tent and completely collapse the pole structure. Push the dog off and boom it popped right back up into place. It is one of my kids favorite tents.

MSR doesn't specialize in tents. Go with Big Agnes or another tent specific company. The Hubba Hubba had YEARS of problems with leaking seams and fragile carbon fiber polls. The brow design places uneven pressure on the tent frame.

im checking the website right now its $330 right now 40% off

Hey Devon, my most favorite tent I have ever owned. I have the 2017 version. With well over 100 nights in it, it still sets up rite and tight every time. It is my go to for any type of weather condition. I will say, I am not a fan of the new design, too much solid fabric. I also own the Elixir and this new version is just like the Elixir, with lighter weight fabric. You should do a comparison on both of them.

It really is a great design. Pretty much all the side entry freestanding tents these days are a variation of it. The NatureHike Mongar 2 is basically a direct copy but with cheaper materials. Picked one up for $88 from the US site. I like how the doors work. You can choose which vestibule to use depending on where the wind blows. Pockets are great.

Thanks to the design and ingenuity of this tent there are tents like the NEMO Dagger. I have the 3 person model. It weighs very close to the MSR shown in this video and is made from a very unique blend of fabrics.

I used the old version free light. It was a great tent before I went DCF.

I just ordered the Petrel G3 pot and a Soto Amicus stove. Will see how they work together. I've seen high ratings for the Amicus stove, so even though it won't be the fastest, it may be good enough for me.

I would like to see an ultra light chair.

Ps good fr u

In the UK uaflys piss through ua inner gets piss through no time fr all that fanning about

Love OnX. It really comes alive on a laptop with a touch screen.

Your thumbnail says 'Are We Crazy?' Yes you are, and I don't mean it in a positive way. First of all you must be out of your mind to have kids. Adding to that stupidity is taking them with you around on your trips. Nuts!

I think the designers for the Helinox never tried the design on soft ground. I tried it out at my local REI along with the NEMO Moonlite Elite, and several REI Co-op chairs. The Helinox was the best. Never knew it would sink though.

whats the chest rig? 👀

Excellent video! I like that you actually sat in the chairs when you did your reviews.

batteries and portable refrigerators up the camping game quite a bit. Maybe a future video could be comparing multiple brands with their most comparable models.
