Very good comparison review. Free standing is one of my big criteria as well. You can hunt and hunt for a nice spot for stakes and your tired you just want to get your tent up and throw your stuff in and get supper going! Thanks again!
Sweet tent.
Love the pups wanting your attention
The new version of the Hornet is a really nice muted green.
It will be awesome if we get an update on how your tent performed in real world. I took a hard look at this tent before deciding to go with the Tigerwall for my new UL tent.
My Durstan has a pretty larger footprint. It's difficult setting up at times but worth it.
Tiger Wall 2 isn't bad in wind, the extra spreader pole and double vestibule help keep the sides more dome shaped and rigid. I've totally thought about the front entry in a few tight spots but I've always been able to rig the vestibule up tho. The extra mesh is nice in the summer but it really makes a difference in the winter to have some extra wind blockage while still getting air flow. At least in AZ winter anyway.
Love the PUPS!!!! Need more!
My "Right Tent" is a hammock (wherever there are trees).
No muddy floor, no splash back problem. A ground sheet is a plus for changing, cooking, etc. and can be rinsed in a stream (or the rain).
Easy to mix and match to personal preferences.
Love mine! Awesome review mate!
Agree completely with the nemo fly have the cut out.
You made a pretty good case for the birth canal tent man! Makes a lot of sense to me.
I have the BA Fly Creek UL1. It's not a do it all quiver killer kind of tent, but when one wants a lightweight semi freestanding tent for less than 2 lbs it fills the need nicely.
The amount of space inside is amazing. And how light weight it is too.
Thank you for the informed tant in favour of tunnel tents. Love my Mountain Hardware SMUL2 that is fully freestanding. Tried to love the Fly Crk and FC Bikepack 3x for similar reasons but found it too “weak” in wind. Own the bikepack Tigerwall 3 and it greatish. Not perfect. Bought the 1p Nemo Hornet bikepack. Great stealth colours and nice design but I worry about the fly coverage being too high. No rain experience yet. But hard not to love the footprint size of a good tunnel tent. My choice for winter too. I was yelling “footprint” at the start of your video lol.
As far as the rain fly on the hornet, the elite uses the new osmo fabric that makes that complaint pretty much irrelevant. It's hydrophobic and does not retain water like PU coated nylon so virtually no water is left on the tent body anyways. It does not "wet out" like traditional tent fabrics. It's also white and gray if you aren't a fan of bright colors.
Bryce. I loved watching your review! Great points, right on. I'm a tent dork and I enjoyed every point you made about your choice in tent. I also agree about the awful Nemo green color tent and the BA yellow color. Why on earth make tents that color. 30% of the reviews on Nemo complain about that stupid cut out that allows rain inside. Great review! Keep it up, I'll keep watching. Still deciding on my "dream" tent. Excellent sense of humor, you had me laughing in a good way.
best vid yet lol. i thought the same thing about the nemo rain fly and went with the tiger wall 1.
Thanks for doing this! Like others, the other channels don't really test or discuss things about this tent. I like this type of tent, but this color makes the tent look really hot and I'm curious about the condensation. Either way, I need to look at a SilPoly tent review to see how that does in the rain.
I totally agree with you. I can't get myself to buy the tiger wall because of that nasty yellow color (even though you did buy it). I also don't want privacy material blocking my view. I want the bug mesh coming all the way down the inner tent. Good insights on some positive of a single front door. Thanks
Hey Bryce, good review, my and I use tiger wall 2, love jt. Listened to on the CT and the new hike stating the mosquitos were bad. You have to try Rescue mosquito clips. We use them in the mountains of Wyoming and Northern Colorado. Will never go out with them again.
I have the older version in green color. It is lightweight and your are right on the small footprint.
I got the Hornet. I like the color.
I love my Hornet. I was sold by its ability to pitch fly first in the rain. I can understand a smaller footprint desire.
Used my new Kelly circuit 2 over the weekend in the pouring rain on green river lake in Kentucky. Was completely dry
By most accounts the Tiger wall is an excellent shelter. I was in the market for a new tent and was seriously considering one but the color just wasn’t for me. I ended up getting the copper spur UL2 because I loved the low impact olive color.
I just bought the Tiger Wall UL2 haha. I am hoping to use it for me and one of my kids though. I was looking at the same 3 tents and it totally wins for an actual 2 person tent.
I just like having two vestibules. I like having the option to open both to get a cross wind if needed. So yeah I would have selected the Nemo Hornet for a freestanding tent. Not freestanding, but my Tarptent Notch Li is 1p, but has two vestibules.
I just got mine in the post this afternoon. I like the fact that it's the same weight as my Nemo Hornet 1p with more useable floor space. I'll be using it when I need a smaller footprint than my Durston Xmid 2p.
I’m considering buying one today. Do you like yours?
I've got the earlier version of this design....the triangle mountain ul3....large interior, easy to set up, bomb proof; huge for one, good for two. Tent, fly, poles, stakes, a tyvek ground sheet....all under 4 pounds!
I really struggle to look out my hole. Nice review and rationale for your new tent. Gear is all personal. Your opinion is the only one that matters.
It's better than having a "moist footbox"... 🤣✊️🔥
@@Canadian_Craftsman 😂🤣
Good looking tent. I think the yellow color of the tiger wall would drive me a little batty.
Nemo Hornet 2P - the cutout saves fabric = weight, and maybe increase ventilation at the top of tent.
Two entries rock for ventilation. Justify all you’d like.
When you scanned the camera over to that glow in the dark tent - I said out loud - Yuk! It hurt my eyes. I can't wait to hear what it was like to try and sleep in there.
Nice review--this is not a beginner backpacking tent, I don't think, given its minimal frame, thin materials. I like your review covered practical everyday usage concerns (setup, storing gear, eating). Even though it is 1lb heavier, I am still loving the Copper Spur UL2. I DO like having 2 vestibules though when I bought it I couldn't imagine using both (I'm a mostly solo hiker). Love being able to pick up the freestanding tent and moving it fast or just dumping the dust/debris out of it when packing up. Enjoy the Fly Creek--would never work for me at 6'2" but Big Agnes makes quality stuff. Should last you.
You know what I like that tent a lot
Nit pickin’. - LOL I like both Big Agnes and North Face tents.
Wasn't sure if I wanted a single entry tent when I was shopping last week and wanted to avoid buyers remorse. So I bought a tent with front and side entries. Maximum ventilation. Maximum doors. Salt Creek 2p might do the trick for me in humid weather.
I wanted to like the nemo tents, especially the dagger with their fancy osmo fabric marketing, but I just hate the cutouts so much, I want the option to drop the fly as close to the ground as possible in certain weather conditions and the cutouts make that impossible. I also had trouble with heavy winds so all these tents with this weird tri-pole design, or single "spine" pole just weren't going to cut it. Those winds also carried dust and dirt and having a solid walled tent (4 season) or at least those raised "privacy" walls really helps in keeping the insides cleaner.
Really good review !!! Your spot on about color , it does matter to me. You're in your tent and that color radiates everywhere. I've always hated the Nemo green, just terrible and cheap looking. Thanks for sharing !!
Did you consider a Tarptent like the Rainbow? I’m super interested in switching to a single wall tent
I just ordered one! A big upgrade from my copper spur 1, this will be more comfortable I bet. Same weight, more inner space
Are you happy with your choice?
@@watchman9198 yes its great
Especially during the darker months with its bright fly :)
@@Rixx1985 awesome. I might buy one this afternoon 👀 just can’t find a ton of reviews online so glad to hear! Thanks
I have the tiger wall mtn glo version, all the advantages of the tw without the nasty yellow from the basic version 😉
Thanks for the video
You had me at Yuengling
Curious if you considered any of the Tarptent options.
I heard some people have problem with sand getting in their tent when it’s windy, when they have the mosquito net going to the very bottom. I figured the “privacy guard” keeps sand from getting in. Do you know if that is the case?
Bryce' If you dont mind me asking"Is there any type of gap or space where the two zippers connect on the Interior Entrance....TYVM.....⭐As Always,Cheers Famz😎
I have the BA Fly Creek UL1 it is small (but light). I got a great deal on it or would have gone with UL2. I either take my BA or six Moon Lunar
Probably your best editing lol!
Haha thank you! I get creative some of the time 😄
DUDE I’m such a big fan, when will you do a meet and greet?!
The puppies definitely love to be in in your video on this one
Nice tent interesting way of picking one now I'm wondering which trip you are going to which will be so much wind but I'm going to find out soon enough when you get to video up
And by the way my good man when you get a chance to check out the five pics I put on Facebook and do tell me what you think later dude
Dude you can’t rag on BA’s colors and own a 1978 Monte Carlo burgundy tent.
1993 Chevy Cavalier Z28 Burgundy
you are hilarious, thank you for the review, if it could withstand a bit of wind I chose this tent.. it's a pity
Wait! Why did you not even look at the MYTent? LOL sorry could not resist! I looked at the Nemo also before I bought the Copper Spur. And I passed it by for the same reasons you did. But, as you know I am a bit dimensionally enhanced. And not to mention Gus tends to hog the tent, my quilt and my sleeping pad.
The thing I hate most about my BA Tigerwall 2 is in fact, the color.
My main reason to have a tent with two side entries is that I camp with a friend as often as I camp by myself, and when you're two people it is just so much more convenient. I don't have money for two tents, so this is the versatile solution
air flow versatility is the biggest reason for me. tents get flipping hot. 🔥
I have one and I really wanted to love it but it's just a big bivy.
admit it bryce -- you got it for the sweet interior camera shot
He still hasn’t admitted it, come on Bryce!!! We all know it’s true!
I love my Fly creek.
How is condensation on this tent?
Hilarious!
Buy even more.
Condensation? One door, no air-flow?
big swing and a miss. I did two nights in a head entry - no mas. either of the other two - tiger wall being the best option for that type of tent.
Edit:Upon further review, the yellow was un-doable
Any fan meetups planned? Or are you willing to do that?
So... You need to pull a tent stake out every time you enter and exit the tent?
No, there is a zipper on the vestibule.
I almost bought one of those….but I don’t like the front entry tents. Interesting take on it
I ended up getting the MSR freelite 1
Do you like the free lite?
@@watchman9198 I love it. It's a great tent. I've even used it in the winter. Never let me down. Just used it on a 5 day canoe trip
@@ItsGoodintheWoods so many RUclips videos say it’s bad for getting water inside after a rain but idk. I’m looking at free lites, elixir, and all tents rn. Trying to decide what to get
@@watchman9198 It is a concern. I combat that by simply not unzipping the fly all the way. Works well enough so far. And if I know there will be a lot of rain on the trip I pair it with my square dyneema tarp. Mainly because I don't want to be restricted to my tent in rain. Works out well. Gives me some living space and protects the entrance of the tent from rain
Can you even get the fly creek 1 person tent anymore?
i think so yes
You need to make a video about your dogs! Fully featured with bellyrubs.
Proud Tiger Wall 2 Person owner. Side entry is best for rolling to the side and rocking a piss in the middle of the night. I’m 6’ with wide shoulders. 1P just don’t work for me. My Duplex is my go to; but Big Assness hits the spot on overnighters. That Lab is giving you the finger BTY. He’s like “you’re in my shot bitch”.
I had a fly creek ul 2 and sold it cuz I couldn’t stand the front entry
Totally agree about stupid Nemo rainfly cutout for all the reasons you state. Totally eliminated their tents from future purchase consideration.
Good review but..... I'm old and getting in and out of a side entry tent is a little bit easier on me. Don't overthink it ! Lol
👍👍👍
The splash back on the model before this one was SO bad for me; And now the bug net even lower!! I’d wake up in the night and everything would be wet.
It was the worst at the foot end.
The bathtub barrier needs to be higher.
The Nemo cutout is for better ventilation
i can see that. i still dont like it. lol
@@BryceNewbold it’s not the best design
I had the same tent. After 2 years I sold it. The front entry was just a nuisance
Aww man, you missed an "Airplane!" reference @6:16
Love you, Bryce, but your Teletubby colors affection is killing me. Black and green, finito. 😜
I’m really glad I waited to the end before commenting. I think you’ll enjoy the tiger wall ul1, likely how I’d enjoy the fly creek. I ain’t lion, I like the tiger wall, see what I did there, ok, nevermind.
😄👍
Same pole configuration as the old Naturehike Cloud 2 up.. Not going into that wee shop again! useless in the wind.
Yeah… I tried this tent… can’t do it! It’s awful in the wind. The side guy outs don’t do anything for structure help since they don’t attach to the inner body. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Front door sucks. The Tiger Walls a better option. I prefer the SMD Lunar Solo.
It's a shame you're so wrong about front entry tents! They are the worst! Even though you may bring up good points, like smaller foot print, great zipper location and... I can't remember the others. Side entry tents for life! Also, dogs!
he means he wants a freestanding tent because of rocky area where he will camp but than decides for that
semi freestanding tent 🤔 fully freestanding would have made more sense no?
god i miss yingling man of refined taste here
nectar of the gods
No orange, no green, and no yellow yet you own a purple?? 🤣🤣
Funny shelter. It's got a FLOOR...and that silly meshy stuff (what's that for...like glass windows ??) Is that a camping shelter...or a portable HOUSE ? Why is it not on wheels ?
REAL men use tarps. We don't need no stinking floors ! Or silly meshy windows ! 😊
NSYNC? Should have been at least backstreet boys come on.🤣
Dude to much of what you like and no comparison of the other 2
well thats not really the video. but i dont have a nemo so i cant rightfullly do that.. and i dont do specs on this channel.. i do first hand thoughts and experiences
This Tent Performance in strong Winds is ultra bad :(
U cant even guyline it out , the pole will not withstand any strong Winds
yea it is a bummer
Are you getting paid for this review? It’s hard to tell these days. I love this tent. Why has everyone gone Nemo or anti-front entry? It’s gotta be money right? Tell me it ain’t true.
Please don't hate me. I covet your dogs.
