Just looked, it's also available in pink. Thank God!
😹🤣
Got my hopes up! 🐸
LOL
Good one!
😂😂😂😂
Excellent vid. The color is appropriate for days when the weather forecast predicts "Purple Rain".
🤣🤣👍👍🤙
Good one!
That has to be the top comment yet :)
From the deep my heart i wish you had more likes
Maybe they’ll make a chocolate rain version soon
Luke, I have that tent and set it up just before 2 days of heavy rain and wind. Did not leak at all. Not a drop. Cannot wait to see your review brother
I would recommend to put the spreader pole on top of the ridge pole; IF the rubber connection piece breaks; the tent stays pretty much in shape; other wise your spreader pole will fall into you
It also adds a couple of mms of extra tension to the fly, which is good for stability.
And it maintains the space between inner and outer, as it was designed to do.
I've used this now for about 2 years and I love it. In strong wind it does have a tendency to have the side walls bend in, but that is going to be an issue with pretty much every lightweight tent.
Never leaked, deals well with condensation, insanely quick to set up, huge headroom inside for the weight, no issues with structure - even the pegs included are good quality.
I picked it up for $200 Australian dollars when I got it which is just unbelievable price for the quality
I just ordered one for 200 AUD also, I can't wait to get it 🙂
@@Grahamgringodid it end up being good? Thinking it for 114 usd
@@poletooke4691 It is a great little tent, no issues with it at all👍
As a first time camper, I bought this tent in the pink color. Very easy to set up and it didn’t leak after a rainstorm. Very spacious for two people. I had no regrets or problems with this tent. I did spray the tent with bug spray and had no issues. Can’t nor recommend enough! A must buy for any glamper like myself.
Tinky Winky gives this tent an enthusiastic two thumbs up!
Aaaah, Mongar Mongar!
Tenty wenty, aaaah! 👏
Eh?
Oh....
I have this tent as well, love it for a budget tent, paid $120 for mine 4 years ago. Thanks for starting a review on it, can't wait to see final thoughts. 👍
Its nice that MSR is finally offering more colors in their Hubba series tents /s
My Christmas pres-tent arrived and I can't wait until the spring when I can properly test it.
I got one in February, so not much testing yet. So far all was good. Setting up is very easy, disassembly as well. I have the 15D version - which is appr. 250 gr lighter than the violet one. I also got the floor mat designed for this tent. So far no leaking, but no multiday (night?) hiking was possible, so cant comment on the long term effect. Cant wait to see Luke's full review.
I've had the mongar 2 for a while now and pitched it in some really awful wind and rain. It's never leaked and for the price it's a great tent for solo camping. My brother has the msr hubba hubba and it's exactly the same design as that but obviously a lot cheaper.
I'm a solo camper. I bought a Naturehike Hanger 2 Tent(White) and additional Gear Shed because I worried about theft when I sleeping at night and away from tent. Also prevents animals from catching garbage.
You can store camping equipment and food in Gear shed from rain and theft.
I love it very much😍
Same I'm exited about it waiting in arrival just don't like that the vestibule only comes in white lol i got the purple would be nice to match
I've waited to check this out before I commented on this design flaw on the cross-member pole. Once the cross-member pole has been attached to the grommets and before the rain fly has been put on, I find that the end of the cross-member only has the bare metal pushing against the fly material creating a wear point on this reenforced portion of the tent. It would have been great if Nature hike would have attached a hard rubber cap which could be pushed onto the ends of this crossover pole to prevent damage to the tent especially when all staked out. In the wind this cross-member moves and can after a bit wear a hole in the tent at this area, metal on fabric.
YES to budget-friendly gear. That's where people start, and a bad experience may end it there too. So far this looks like good gear, and I've heard that it is. Can't wait for the rain testing.
Can only speak about Naturehike Vik 1 . This tent costs 130usd and it kept me super dry in Norway . It’s 2021 the Chinese got good in copy not everything they produce totally sucks . You will get a MSR Hubba Hubba copy with that mongar . A little heavier . Same quality if you look on what fabrics they use . Stitching is not bad at all . 120eu Vik 1 served me well 4 Trips to Norway . Upgraded to Tarptent Stratospire Li cause I wanted more Space and under 2 pounds so I payed 700usd for Dyneema lol .
Beginners are good to go with buying Naturehike. No problem in wind or rain
@@rodrev_hiking6757 I got the Mongar 2 15D version and it weights 1.57kg pretty much on par with the Hubba Hubba NX 2 1.54kg. So far holding up really well for the price a really good option for a 2 person tent. Happy camping!
@@rodrev_hiking6757 if you watch the other purple tent video and others of this channel they absolutely do not recommend to buy the MSR at all for any reason but do give great reviews a ND recommends for the purple tent or just the Mongar 2 i suppose there are other colors at the same waterproof rating minus one that is the 15D but even have a rain night test and did quite well as he put it it can be the best for this price range in his experience. But camping is all about the experience and perception some might call terrible other might call the best time but 700 seems crazy for a tent lol so i hope it was the best for you.
@@angellopez1418 700 is normal for dyneema. Yes i absolutly loved the Tent but Sold it to buy Tarptent Doublerainbow Lithium ( dyneema ) and this is the Best ive ever had for a tent :))
I like the poles on this tent it looks like they connect well and r easy to get into place the colors pretty cool too definitely sets ya apart from the rest of the herd
And Purple Rain is a pretty damn cool song to jam to when camping with this tent. 🤣🤣🤣👍
In the morning if the weather is right, you wake up to a Purple Haze
@@EveryDayCharlie nothing is better than purple rain. sorry jimi.
That's my tent!! Thanks a ton for doing the review. Not everyone wants a green or brown tent. 😀
I have that tent also:) purple is my fav color ✌🏻
Had to be an officer's wife. He must be an Acadamy Grad. 😆
@@SoloHiker1 nope....enlisted 23 yrs currently.
Looks exactly like the hyke n byke Zion 2. Same poles, vents, materials, etc. So if that's the case, get ready for a wonderful river of condensation!! I sent that tent back, out of 14 tents I have bought and tested, that one was one of the worst, except for maybe the Alps mountaineering zephyr 1.5. The top of that tent held water in the triangular frame. Thanks Luke!
What a crazy colour for a tent. But I like the easy set up process. Let’s hope it waterproof.
Hey !
I bought it last year and the guide lines are (or were) adjustable. And the clips or not right and left hooks but only one side hook. There is also a net for the top of the inside of the mostiquo net / the body of the tent. Very usefull to hang out things during the night.
I bought it directly from the Aliexpress NatureHike shop, that may be the cause of the variable accessories.
Great video !
Simple. Very similar to my old Eureka Apex 2XT. THAT was a fantastic tent, with really only one minor flaw, imo.
Thanks! I bought 2 of them! Perfect for camping with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts! This is an awesome tent!!!
The purple is great for blocking sunlight
I have been using this purple mongar 2 for a year now... withstood strong winds and harsh rains with ease.. no leaking whatsoever.either
I just bought this tent based off of this review. I think it will do great for my 16 year olds first tent.
I’ve got this tent (in grey) really enjoyed it and for the price I can’t find one to beat
Love it the purple color is actually pretty badass
I've got a nice muted blue version in 15D silnylon. Weighs just over 1.5kg. Tested it in heavy rain, snow and hail not a drop of water got inside. Great tent for the price.
Do you need to tighten it again, when it starts raining? I'm concerned that it stretches too much.
My hiking buddy used this tent on our two weeks hike in the Norwegian wilderness last year. Lucky for me, the white option🤣. It performed good. However, long term use will tell more about the quilty. We got a forthcoming video series from this pretty awsome hike.
Had the Vik1 4 weeks hiking in Norway Hardanger Vidda and it didn’t fail on me . Still have this Tent and use it even tho I got Dyneema Tents here
well i just love the colour ....strenght and honour
LOOKS NICE LUKE 👌 CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU THINK OF IT . THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US HOW TO SET IT UP . LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TWEEK IT IN SOME PLACES . BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 🙏 ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨
Good morning brother and thank you for your thoughts and adventures brother and your wife
Thanks Luke. I appreciate your videos.
Purple. to blend in to the purple mountains majesty.
Great tent, have one for about 2y now. More than enough room for 1, 2 also works when you dont mind being close... :-) never had issues with waterproofness or anything. Probably my most used tent at the moment.
I'd say theres more than enough room for 2 in the tent :)
The color is dope! Purple Rain
As a "newbie", this tent seems to be pretty straightforward with no real challenges.....I Hope. Want to see your "test night" results. Thanks for the video!
Don't be discouraged everyone starts out the same awesome tent cool color roomy and fast set up plus you can get a vestibule adds tons of space for your wet gear or dogs or even a small fold table to set up your small jetboil cup or similar small stove set ups keeps mud out of your tent if it's raining much
Very simple. Luke purple,but mostly waiting for test night.
That purple brings out the color in your eyes.
Purple camo blends with the terrain
Thanks for review. I`ve bought same one but in white. It is extremely nice.
Main feature of this tent is ability to setup flysheet using footprint, so you may attach inner later, very useful in rain.
ah I was wondering about this! I'd love to see a video of someone doing this!
Almost replica of Zion 2, which so far is a quality (altho a lil heavy) tent. Gr8 for canoe tripping, or truck camping.
I believe the centre pole is meant to go over the main pole to maintain higher tension.
No one mentions it, but one channel, if you do it that way it reduces stress in the plastic part i have seen other similar pole configurations but they have an aluminum piece (REI) instead of plastic I'm sure you could score one somewhere online to upgrade your tent lol aftermarket 😆 small corners to cut by companies to keep manufacturing prices down
Like the purple and the set up was very smooth
I just received mine today- was a little tricky for me the first set-up but I didn’t see any directions til I was putting it away afterwards and I’m not an experienced tent person.
I’m sure the next time I set up it’ll be much easier. I will also practice putting it up fly before inner as some have done in case of bad weather when I’m out on trail. I want to be proficient with it at home before I use it while backpacking.
I did get the heavier 210T bcs the colors for 20d are just awful. I got dark green for more stealth option.
It’s a lovely tent and quite roomy. I look forward to using it. I have seen quite a few reviews and it seems to do very well in higher winds and rain plus the high mesh will be good for hot summers.
I was thinking of how I could add another layer for winter camping so I don’t have to get another tent just yet. All this gear gets too expensive for someone like me. So if anyone has suggestions on how to temporarily winterize this, they would be appreciated.
Nature Hike is a pretty decent, budget friendly, gear company. I think it would be a good entry point for many folks.
I have this tent and experienced some awfully strong winds last weekend.
The "Y" intersection of the poles on one side got folded due to the strong gust of wind and I wasn't able to put some guylines.
After the wind and rain got weaker I attached the guylines and it became more stable.
I do like how easy this tent is to set up. I'd definitely select a green or tan color though! LOL
Looks like a slamdunk to set up. I think the color is kinda cool. Great con'tent' as always, thanks.
We just bought this tent for my wife, be taking it out this next weekend on a short overnighter.
As long as you get to sleep in the tan one.
The top cross pole goes over the bar not under (just like MSR Hubba Hubba that this is a clone of). More stable in high winds.
Be interested to see how it goes, I got the Cloud Up 2 model from the same company and its been amazing. Only issue for mine has been you need to pitch the tent so the flat face isn't directly in the path of the wind. But rain, condesation etc has been good. Hope to go snow camping at some stage (which is harder than it looks in Australia not many places lol)
When you do the test I would love for you to have a good look at the bathtab, and strength if you can, as my kids get older, son is 9, daughter is 6, they have been wanting their own spaces when we go caravan park camping, so was thinking of getting small tents just for them, and my daughter loves purple, just worried how it would hold up. My Cloud Up 2 does need to be treated gentle.
I need this for a long trip
Very informative. Thank you.
I like it. Thanks Luke.
Sweet! I love that color!💪😎
One cool thing about this tent is you can buy a add on attachment that gives it a giant porch. Great for cooking and for wet dogs to sleep haha! Don't see that very often. On a side note I'm always worried about that middle support pole poking people in the eyes when I see em setting them up. Freaks me right out! I don't think I could ever go with a tent in this style because of that.
I purchased this waiting one more day for arrival i did puchase the vestibule i gotz me a 🟣💜👾☔ igloo now haha sadly the thing only comes in white kind of annoying matching colors for every tent colors would be dope. I also happened to find some decent shade tarps in the purple didn't get them though maybe later but yes tired of all the natural colors hahaha you can only do so much with sand and camo green and such if all else fails and you get lost you take the rain fly and you'll be found a little easier(maybe) lol sidenote if you're a clumsy person a 10k dollar tent won't help you one bit so i doubt very many people actually poke their eyes much more likely to do it with a branch
Not about tying knots to secure the fly to the poles. But you do get the fly cinched up against the poles though
I was thinking if getting the companion pro hiker 2 tent but this is quite nice also
Great video can't wait for the test sesdion
Menu looks good!
So i just got this tent. And after watching your reviews on the Litefighter and how it can be converted to a 4 season. It got me to thinking and researching this tent. I found on Allie express a 4 season inner that fits this tent, and ordered it. So now i have a 3&4 season Mongar 2..
Can you provide a link or the ID number for that one? Thanks
I have to say your reviews are some of my favorites-- very thorough and I love that you don't limit yourself to just the most expensive or the REI catalog. Right now I am looking at getting some tents for Boy Scout Troop to do some backpacking so cost is an important factor as is ruggedness so I am not thinking ultralight. When it comes to 20D vs 210T what would you recommend? Also thinking about other tents beyond naturehike, I have seen a mountainsmith celestial at a good price and of course there is the Kelty options-- also I saw sierra designs tabernash, stoick madrone , and marmot catalyst. I only have experience with a marmot and that tent held up great for me. In terms of cost and durability who do you recommend---Kind of hoping to stay in the 100-150 dollar range
I'd love to have this party tent on the next outdoor rock concert with "Deep Purple"
Thanks friend...good video....freedom for all people..
That tent is fly!
Prince fans would love this tent.
I'm really looking forward to your review of this tent. I hope it does well because, I really want to own this tent if it's worth it. But in the color gray.
I know this is an old video, but I just picked this tent up for $103.28. I am excited to see how well it performs.
Where was this lol i just got mine new from amazing on a prime sale for 135 and the vestibule for 71.99 same sale lol nice shade tarp too was it the purple 👾 that's what I got so i saved like 45 usd give or take before taxes on the two. Saw this cool roll up low table fits perfect in the vestibule so as to not leave my backpack on the ground if it's wet fits right in there hight adjustable. Even for a small stove set up
That is one purple tent, WOW
I kinda want one of the green versions of this tent the more I see of it on your channel.
finally the review i was waiting for i have same tent and color =) great tent super price
I have this tent. Ive used it in heavy snow, storm winds and in heavy rain. 10/10. Not a single fault with this tent. Cant recommend this tent enough, and the weight + price combined with quality is a winner.
I wanna urge Luke to review the 3F UL Qingkong 4-person tent next. Its the natural step up in size from the Mongar, and is lightweight + budget friendly.
Edit: The Mongar 2 is a copy of the MSR Hubba Hubba NX. The 3F UL Qingkong 4 is a copy of the MSR Papa Hubba 4.
Did it require any seem sealing?
@@janis6321 nope
That Mongar is an MSR clone (which isn’t a bad thing).
I own a 3FUL version. AliExpress again.
It’s identical other than adjustable stake points and different guy line attachments
I think it’s a great thing that Luke is testing the gear from AliExpress.
It’s I feel a good budget option for a lot of people.
Hope he’ll be testing the Lanshan 1 soon. .
i was just looking through the comments to see if anyone else noticed this. I wasn't sure at first but when I saw those red clips I thought they looked so familiar.
Have you ever done a review on the Geertop backpacking tent for 2 person, 4 seasons camping tent double layer waterproof for outdoors hunting, hiking, climbing, travel.
It says easy set up. Be nice to see if it’s worth the money.
I truly hate wet tents from condensation and leaky seams or floor.
Never keen on tents where you need to set the inner fly first. Looks alright though.
What do You think about sewing pieces of veccro to those fly tie up points. Could such a modification be worth effort?
It would blend in nice in a field of lupines maybe.
It amazes me that none of the naturehike tents you have tested are anything like mine. I guess they have a wide selection.
I at least appreciate when the snapping body portions are attached to straps with loops as opposed to being sewn directly in. That way, if one breaks, you can substitute a carabiner and keep using the tent.
Well no problem finding that tent out in the woods
I've had this tent in this color for more than 2 years and I love it! Granted, the color is not for everybody. I wanted something different and I think purple is great. Everything in the tent looks pink in the morning though 😁 That's the tent I plan to have with me when I hike the west highland way in Scotland later this fall or next spring.
What's the weight of it Nicolas? I love the colour! Not that I need another tent though...
@@musingwithreba9667 it's around 2.1kg if you take the groundsheet and all the stuff bags. It's around 1.9kg without them.
@@belgasox not exactly ultra-light then😉 good for car camping tho!
@@musingwithreba9667 splitting 4lbs between 2 people for backpacking isn't bad....
@@katherinehellstrom1952 very true. 90+% of the time tho, I'm solo
Buena reseña ⛰️
Purple passion!
Looks decent. Only real question now is whether it is waterproof.
Thanks Luke...will I need to return my M Lynx.2....will soon see:)
Hey thanks for the review. I'm debating between this one and the star river 2. Have you tried that one too by chance?
What's wrong with purple? Love the color!
was this the 210T version or the 20D version? Also looking forward to your final review. The most interesting part of this tent for me in the optional/extra vestibule that you can add to it, do you also have this to review with the tent??
My favorite color. It does say hey look im over here lol. Thanks Luke for review.
I have the three person coming in tomorrow
Doubt it will replace my zpacks, but I need more tents for the troops.
My eyes!!! 🤣 Who thought a purple tent was a good idea?
I think it looks good in purple
@@theodorefarnsworth8509 me too, I bought this tent in purple a month ago. Great tent
Not everybody wants to run off and hide.
I am all about the earthy colours, but it looks awesome in purple.
I showed this to my wife and now she has to have it.
Looks like a Big Agnes Tiger Wall or the Marmot Super Alloy.
Naturehike tents are really good quality for the money. Way better than Coleman, crap sold at Bass Pro Shop or the Target Sierra Designs stuff.
Hey Luke, please test the Jack Wolfskin Gossamer II
Setup looks easy, now wait for the rain.
I really wished Luke would review the LanShan 1 Pro as it is one of lightest budget solo tents for long distance hikers. 690g isn't the lightest but for the price it's not bad. I'm torn between LanShan and Gossamer Gear's The One tent. That would be twice as expensive though and it's out of stock everywhere. Not going to order the Lanshan just yet because it's Singles Day and Black Friday and the prices have been jacked up 35% on Aliexpress. Going to wait for the "sales" to be over.
Put velcro in for attaching fly to poles and i might look at it. Wondering what the pole quality is.
The pole twist clips concern me. If one of the prongs breaks off, will that clip still hold the pole? Or does it become a non-functional?
(I personally like the purple color.)
