Those D-rings are good for securing an under quilt for camping below freezing. They're normally used for hammocks but I attach one to the underside of my cot using safety pins and string for camping in a hot tent.
It is still my favorite way to sleep when I'm out. I really want to use it on stealths but it's takes a little too long to put together, maybe one day. 👍
The end of wet and cold "underground". I ll take a cot. Better a little more weight to sleep better. But as a "continental man" 4.6 pounds are how many grams? And how much it costs? Thanks.
I totally agree, I sleep so much better now using a cot. Sorry I didn't put the conversion in the video, it's just over 2kg and is on sale on Amazon now for only $63, that's a good deal wow. 👍
Putting up with rocks bumps and wet groundsheets for years i started to appreciate “niche” gear like this. well worth the weight imo. Plus it’s good airflow and you can pack anything underneath for insulation.
nice video..and I agree this is very comfortable cot, just as comfy as my huge coleman one that takes up half the car!..I've slept on it now 15 days over multi trips..I put my sleeping pad on top when it's colder..the plastic and poles are heavy duty..I wish I could secure my sleeping pad..there are o rings under the mat, not sure what the purpose of those are maybe I could rig them somehow to hold my mat..and I notice that they now have a cotton top quilt now..which I might pick up..I probably wouldnt take this back packing..with limited space..but for the canoe and car camping this is the best
Thank Stephen, I know what you mean as far as comfortable with a sleeping pad on top, it's the closest I've ever gotten to feeling like my mattress at home. If you end up getting the top comforter, let us know what you think. 👍
I don't agree, atleast not with this one, it's my favorite sleep method rt now but I know what you mean. I had sleeping bags that would put my arms asleep when then fell off the pad, but it was 20" wide. Lol
I have no doubt the helonix is a great piece of kit, but the Naturehike is not garbage by any means, it extremely comfortable and affordable. The Helonix is only 1lb 12oz lighter and over $200 more in price so it just comes down to preference. For me , under 5lb for a cot is ultralight.
oh put a dress on what’s “garbage” about it? I’d rather carry an extra pound than put $300 on some lightweight material and poles that hold up the same.

I never thought of using an underquilt with a cot, thanks for sharing my friend !I think I'm going to try that one! 👍
Elk hunter?
@@billquantrill4960 Ice fishing.
@@LaOwlett Nice.
I might get get this for my hot tent. Awesome video my friend
Thanks bud and I'm still loving that cot. I'm not sure I'll go back to the ground now. Lol 👍
same..
Thanks for the video. This is my first cot. Bought it bc how many legs it has, lite for hiking.
Instructions on the back is smart.
Nice cot
It is still my favorite way to sleep when I'm out. I really want to use it on stealths but it's takes a little too long to put together, maybe one day. 👍
The D-rings, which don't get a mention.. i wonder if they are for setting up as a hammock, or perhaos attaching a storage bag etc
I came across this product on Amazon and looked up a video your video is the first one I saw. Extremely valuable video and very much appreciated.
Thank you, and it's still my favorite way to sleep 🙏
I could set a tent up in the desert and summon rain guaranteed. I hope this will keep me out of the pond inside my tent.
Thank you, now I have decision
I’m curious to see how this stacks up long term to the Helinox. The price difference is immense and seems like this is an exact copy.
Mine still works and looks like new, time (or uses) will tell. 🤞
I have 4 helinox chairs and this cot. I give this cot an A+. It is freaking solid.Paired with my lost horizon matress it's an amazing combination.
@@DoritosResidue thanks for the comment, it's great to hear from some one with some Helonix gear. I've heard good things about them.
What tent is that? I do motorcycle camping solo sometimes and i am looking for a smaller tent like that 😊
This video is on a hammock I've been testing out that is doing great so far.

See how it holds up in use those plastic clips seem like a weak point. Have fun stay safe.
I hear ya Kenneth, that's def what I'll be keeping an eye on. I hope temperature fluxuations don't effect it's hold and I go plop. Lol 👍
Hi :) So how did it last.
Greetings @@OutdoorAdventureandGear
@@senectarius9685 as if now, it still rocking on and is my fav way to sleep when I'm out. I never knew cots could be that comfy.
@@OutdoorAdventureandGear ok, good to hear. Thx for the quick response:)
I thought about but I'll just stick with my mat and bag. 4 pounds is way too heavy
I can understand , 4lbz is some weight. For myself after using it, I'd carry it if it was 6lbs lol.

🙏🏼💚
The cot is comfortable.
I can't wait to use it. 👍
A good night sleep, dry, warm.
My traditional coleman cot weighs 20lbs, I would say this is "ultralight" in comparison at only 25% the weight.
It def is to that cot lol is is comfortable ? I've seen the Coleman cots but have never used one.
@@OutdoorAdventureandGear it's pretty nice. Wide for sure. A bit of a chore to set up but pretty nice
Thx for making this video. Ive been eyeing this one on amazon for solo camping 🏕️
I was as well , then Mrs Claus was so kind to gift me with it. 👍
Bought one and it arrived today. Cheers brother
Awesome Vinny ! Let us all know what you think , I'm heading out with mine this wknd. 👍

After one second: This is extremely comfortable! Maybe test it for one full night ;)
Lol I plan on it but it is comfortable .👍
@@OutdoorAdventureandGearhow is the cot going?
@@blade1535 Great! I still love it and it's given me some deep sleeps out in the woods.
They are fab...😊
...too narrow.....laying on your back your arms hang over sides...or, are supported by hard metal frame.
I don't agree, atleast not with this one, it's my favorite sleep method rt now but I know what you mean. I had sleeping bags that would put my arms asleep when then fell off the pad, but it was 20" wide. Lol
your arms are hanging on the side of the bed
Lol
The cot is narrow
No thanks
Heavy cheap garbage get the helinox lite cot you get what you pay for. 4.8 lbs is no where near ultralight.
I have no doubt the helonix is a great piece of kit, but the Naturehike is not garbage by any means, it extremely comfortable and affordable. The Helonix is only 1lb 12oz lighter and over $200 more in price so it just comes down to preference. For me , under 5lb for a cot is ultralight.
oh put a dress on what’s “garbage” about it? I’d rather carry an extra pound than put $300 on some lightweight material and poles that hold up the same.
