Naturehike Mongar 2: Is this the best budget lightweight tent?

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- So I thought I would take the Naturehike Mongar 2 tent up into the mountains for a wind test and it didn't disappoint. I headed up Old Man of Coniston in the Lake District for a solo night on the mountain. Such an amazing tent for the price. I highly recommend. My tent is the 210T

Had me laughing when you switch to the rain scene, making light of it at the sane time, legend
Thanks for the very nice comment. It can't be sunny all the time so may as well enjoy it
Mongar 2 is fantastic! Love mine and always enjoy using it.
I'm not the only one then, thanks for watching Matt.
Which one do you have nylon or polyester?
@bachoxitarishvili6445 I have the polyester
Had my Mongar a while now, really good tent. I camp alone but feel the slight extra weight, all up with scran and some water generally about 14 kilos. is worth it for the twin doors, vestibules and ability to get all my kit inside the tent.
It is nice to have that room in there for all your kit and you don't feel cramped. Thanks for watching.
I should have my Mongar 2 early next week, I paid 200AUD for it, same colour as your's. Lots of great reviews on this tent.
Fantastic Vlog mate, the scenery is incredible, I've never seen such beautiful countryside in my life.
I'm sure you'll love it such a good tent. Yeah I love this location the lake district is beaitiful. Thanks for watching.
@@outdoorgaz5 Thanks, It is stunning scenery, quite different to here in the north of Australia. Am glad I subscribed to your channel :-)
I actually nearly bought a Lone Rider ADV tent but even with the 20% Black Friday discount, it was nearly 280 dollars more than the Naturehike and seeing what your tent has been through I reckon it's bullet proof :-)
@@Grahamgringo Thanks for those kind words, I hope you have many happy adventures in your new tent. 😁
They even sell it in stealthy purple!😆 Been looking at this tent as well in my search for a new tent for myself when wee ones are out every other weekend. Going to start camping more ( nature campgrounds as the Netherlands are quote strict as to wild camping: 150 euros). Tent seems ok, but still am leaning towards the Hexpeak V4a. Outlawed Landscapes really put that one through the ropes (or whatever the saving is lol)
Awesome landscape, nice images! Cheers for sharing!
No leaks.....Just from the nose😆
Hahaha yes a lot of leaks from the nose. I'll have to check out the Hexpeak. Hope you get out on some cool camping adventures soon. Thanks for watching 😁
@@kaya-sem Yeah plenty of space for 2
Great video, nice pace and all! The tent was the main focus of course, and it finally convinced me to get a Mongar as my first back-/bikepacking tent myself. However, being a bloody rookie, I found most interesting the impossible amount of stuff you got into that backpack. ;-)
I'm so pleased my video has helped with your purchase it is a great tent. Haha I did get a lot in my pack but I suppose that's just practice, maybe I should make a video about what's in my pack. Thanks for watching.
Also have the mongar in the grey, can't fault it, great watch and a nice set up, 👍
I agree, a really good tent. I haven't seen the grey one. Thanks for watching.
How tall are you? Im thinking of buying a monger. I'm 195cm tall. So should be enough to spare? Cheers keep up the good vids
I'm about 185cm so I don't think you will have much spare room. Thanks for watching.
Great video and the Naturehike tents are fantastic. I have the Purple one. I wanted a green one but couldn't get it in 20D
Yeah I'm loving mine. I may have to check if I have the 20d as someone else said the same as you. Thanks for watching.
@@outdoorgaz5 sir i think yours was 210t
@@markdarryllazo7097 Yes I do have the 210t I'm sorry for the confusion. I was sure I ordered the 20d. I made things a bit clearer in my last camp video.
ruclips.net/video/j7FPhS_ydcU/видео.html
Great video, thumbs up lad 👍
Thank you much appreciated.
Hi im uk too cant decide if i should buy the 20d or the heavier green 210t any advice
I have the heavier 210 T it's great and very waterfall
@@outdoorgaz5 I"m leaning towards the 210T as well because it's cheaper and I will be using it for motorcycle camping so the weight difference alright. Also I think that the darker green might help with the early summer mornings!
Great vid Gaz full of detail careful no BS honest opinions, observations and advice etc very realistic unlike most vlogs out there. Cheers for sharing.👍
Thanks John really appreciate that. I mainly just don't have a plan and just take you guys along and hope you like it. More camp outs coming soon I hope.
Great Tent I have one and easy to pack i use it for motorcycle touring ...thank you for the view of your place where you camp ...good to see the sheep too john from OZ
Hi John you'll have to say hi to the Ozzy sheep for me next time your out. Thanks for watching hope you enjoy the tent.
I've always fancied the Mongar tent .. don't they always say it's very similar to a much more expensive tent from MSR.
Yeah it's very similar to the MSR Hubbs tent which is 3 times the price. I would highly recommend the Mongar 2. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a cool place for a wild camp. You can't beat the good ol Trangia.
Yeah was a great spot Chris 👍
Wow so much mesh must be very cold in freezing weather,I much prefer a 2 skin tent any day
You can hardly tell. I'll test it once we have some proper weather but so far I don't even notice. Thanks for watching
Just picked one up for £79 on Amazon the other day, seemed to good to miss. In the bright green colour, but it's not as bad as it looks in the photos.
That's a really good price, I think I paid double that. Thanks for watching.
Those unused guide rope points should have been a must mate. Wouldn’t flick then
I know I realized after but still stood the test. Thanks for watching
@@outdoorgaz5 I’m about to order one so was actually super helpful. Thank you
@@AsoreAreola Glad I could help
I have the Naturehike Cloudup One, and I really like the tent, or I did, until I had it in a super windy place with little shelter, where it became unusable and I had to pack up and share my cousin's Phoxx II.
I still like the Cloudup One, but I'll only use it if I know it's not going to be overly windy, because in high wind it's completely useless.
I might try this one in future though, as it seemed to do a little better, with having the '4-points' of stability, as opposed to CloudUps 3-points.
Its worked for me so far no pole breaks but only had it out in high winds once so far. Thanks for the comment.
Nice video! I liked the misty weather and the Mexican finale. 😊 I've been looking at this tent myself but I'm a bit sceptical about the size. Naturehike says it's 210 cm long, but several reviewers have to put it to less. I'm 194 cm myself, so every cm counts. Have you measured your tent?
No but I will, I'll get back to you soon on actual length. Haha yep I thought that music worked well. Thanks for watching.
Just got it out in the living room it's 200 cm. The sides come up almost at 90 degrees so you shouldn't have a problem with the tent pushing on your face. Hope this helps.
@@outdoorgaz5 Thanks a lot! It's what I suspected. That's 10 cm shorter than what Naturehike claims.
View, fog, sheep, amazing! Do you have any thoughts/regrets about the 210T? I'm trying to decide between that and 20D/15D but honestly leaning towards the 210T as it looks very nice in your video, price is right and polyester is supposedly more uv resistant(I'm near the equator), though of course a bit heavier.
No regrets great tent and has never let me down yet. Hope you have some great adventures in it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@outdoorgaz5 Lovely, cheers!
We still use an old school meths stove. It was my girlfriend's grandma's and she refuses to ever part with it. I like it to be fair, takes a bit longer but what's the rush eh?
And it's silent. Thanks for watching and such a nice comment.
Green is a custom color, only some sellers have it.
Ah never knew that. Thanks for watching.
Hmm, did you tie out all your rain fly tie outs, looks like some are not tied to the poles. I did watch a video and then tried it my self, of setting up the tarp first in rainy conditions so you can setup the tent under it to keep it dry. Very cool location.
I think you're right I didn't tie to all poles but I survived the night and tried to get as much natural cover from the wind as I could. Thanks for the comment and watching
I still use a Trangia but without the rest of the kit, just the burner, a concertina windshield and a pot stand made out of a wire coat hanger. Seems to work well unless I need to melt snow, which needs gas or a petrol stove.
Sounds like a good way to go lightweight with the trangia. Thanks for watching and happy adventures.
I like this guy, he uses realistically priced items lol everyone else on RUclips uses sleeping bags that cost 3x the amount of my tent😂
I try not to spend all my money on camping gear but I have just bought another naturehike tent. Thanks for the comment very much appreciated.
@@outdoorgaz5 I’m about to buy this tent myself. Every review says nothing but good about it and you can’t beat the price.
Hi Nice Video 👌🏼 witch color is your tent? i mean witch color name? It looks awsome! greetings from Germany
Hi the name of the colour was forest green. Thanks for watching
@@outdoorgaz5 Hmm, when I search for Forest Green I only get a green tent. Yours looks a little turquoise and orange 🥴
I'm not sure that must depend on the seller. Mine was called forest Green.
Enjoyed this video, thanks but I have to say the subliminal background music really added to it!
Thanks Clive I try and use music not to overpowering. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Великолепный обзор! 🙂👍 А как называется модель спального мешка?
Спасибо за просмотр. Трекинговый спальный мешок МТ500 от Декатлон.
i am 1.95 m do i fit in this tent. with most tents do i touch the outside with my feet?
I think you would also touch in this tent. I'm making a video this week and I'll measure the tent on video. Thanks for watching
Haha,,,
stunning scenery
This has to be one of my favourite spots.
Whenever I set my Mongar 2 up I find the gap between the walls and the floor is huge. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Joe, check that all the tabs are at their longest position and rain cover is symetrical. Make sure the poles arn't pushing too far out. Hope one of those helps.
Thanks for watching.
Would you say this is a spacious tent for 2 people? I'm 5'8 and my partner is 5'7. Looking at picking one up for a month long bike packing trip we will be heading out on and would prefer to keep our bags inside with us if possible.
Thanks for the vid - you seem like a super chilled guy - subbed.
Thanks for subbing I really appreciate it. The tent is perfect for two people with packs, plenty of room. Hope you enjoy your cycle tour
Where did you get this color in 20D? I can't find it anywhere.
I brought my tent from amazon. I'm not sure if mine is now the 20d after similar comments to yours I'll check and get back to you in a up coming video. Thanks for watching
I've just checked I have the 210T sorry for the confusion I thought I'd ordered the 20D
Excellent video, thank you
Much appreciated thank you.
Hello. I'm looking at Mongar 2 and Cloud Up 2 models. I am looking for a lightweight tent that I will generally use in the spring months and carry with a bag. Which one would you recommend?
I haven't had any issues with mine so far. I have the 210T model of the Mongar 2.
Hope you enjoy your adventures.
How do you think this would perform in the winds of Iceland?
I'm sure it has its limits but it feels very well made and sturdy once it's all set up. Thanks for watching, let me know how it goes in Iceland
@@outdoorgaz5 Thank you! Trying to pick the right tent is a bit stressful. 😂
@@flutingaround Did you take it to Iceland? Trying to figure out the same thing
Are you creating videos for monetisation or the love of outdoors?
It's a love for the outdoors. I hope sharing my adventures will inspire others to get out and enjoy nature. Hopefully that comes across in my video.
@outdoorgaz5 Yes, you love the solitude and peace the same as I do.
I just wonder if you are aware YT are playing ads during your videos. It spoils the enjoyment and pretending we are there with you, away from the madness of life.
@@TimmyBobinson I am aware of adds and any money I do make from my videos goes straight back into more adventures. I hope this doesn't stop you watching my other videos. Thanks for the comments
@outdoorgaz5 it will stop me watching your other videos. Unsubbed.
@@TimmyBobinson That's unfortunate you could always try RUclips premium if adds are such a distraction.
Really enjoyed your video! Is a big inspiration! And I will get the Mongar 2 after seeing the rain and wind resistance 😊. But what a lovely cup of creamy coffee 🤩 Do you perhaps have some tips to make it? Many thank in advance!
Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. I cheated with the coffee it's just a kenco sachet but still delicious. I hope you get loads of great adventures in your new tent. Thanks for watching
Great video, enjoy your reviews and vibe. I think your Trangia is the best for that breezy condition, no need to carry extra wind screens
Thanks I'm glad you liked the video. Trangia is awesome, I just got back from a snow camp and it helped warm me up on a cold night.
Thanks for the review. My god, it's seriously beautiful over there! 😍
Thank you and yes we have some amazing landscapes here. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing. 😊
No probs thanks for watching.
Your mongar 15d or 20 ?
It's the 20d
@@outdoorgaz5 wow amazing. this my country (Indonesia) only grey , white green and purple available 😁
@@bangbigmou Thanks for watching, 😁
Fellow Trangia/Mongar-packing hammock hanger here, had my Mongar early doors, just a little time after they first came out, so a fair few years now, and I’ve been very happy with it overall, the weight is bearable for the features, protection and comfort it affords, as well as the wind- and water shedding capabilities, I use it predominantly in the highlands, where I live. My Trangia set is over 30 years old and still bombproof. Though there are of course much lighter options for both tent and cook-set these days, I’ve not bothered to ‘upgrade’, preferring to stick with what works, and have used both items several times right up among the highest fishable lochs in Scotland with no dramas either getting there nor in use and sheltering from sometimes quite unpleasant squally weather. Good choices! Btw, the cross pole is meant to be set atop the main pole, not under it - it’s stronger and slightly roomier when it is set on top, per the instructions.
Greetings from the Grampians 👍🏻
Nothing wrong with sticking with what works. We are in the highlands now so it should be a good test. Thanks for watching and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with a trangia.
Lovely film.
Thank you greatly appreciated.
It seems the star river is better because of using more fabric surfaces instead of mesh, so for the mid seasons it will be better..
I'm starting to think I don't need a winter tent. Although recently camped in the snow in this Mongar 2
Naturehike hike tents are garbage! Save up and buy a proper one!
Do you speak from experience?
@@outdoorgaz5 yes!! The zips are terrible... They always get stuck or catch... The designs are bad... Most of them have too much mesh, the toggles on the doors are shocking! .. The tips on the poles always come out... And if you buy the cloud peak 2, you get pissed wet through inside because of it leaking down from the hood...
@@outdoorgaz5 just cheap budget tents which appeal to the masses!
@@mrmods7912 I can't say I've experienced those problems yet and I hope I don't. Did you have the cloud peak and the nature hike?
@@outdoorgaz5 I've only ever had one...star river 2... Zips where terrible and so where the tips on the poles. Constantly pulling out on the elastic
