In this video I review and compare two backpacking budget tents I own - the Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 and the Vango Banshee Pro 300. I've owned the Banshee since 2019 so it's had lots of use where as the Cloud Peak 2 was bought a couple of weeks ago. I took it out recently on its first outing into the Peak District for a wild camp - the video is on the channel if you want to see how it performed "The Salt Cellar". I hope its useful for anyone considering buying one of these excellent budget backpacking tents.

Id have to say your new tent would b my choice less stealthy but way more comfortable with the extra headroom and more vestibule space. Another cracking vid gav keep up the amazing content

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

Thanks Karl, it’s a good to tent to replace the aging Banshee. 😀 The extra vestibule space will be useful and on the last camp the extra headroom was good. Just can’t sit up straight in the Banshee so you’re always leaning.

Nice to get a review of two tents side by side so nice work dude

@Moffatmountainadventures 3 месяца назад

I’ve got a Vango Orion, had it for years and love it. Rarely use it now a days but there’s something about a Vango that you just go back too. Also have a naturehike Mongar 2. Decided to go with that instead of the cloud peak 2 mainly due to that mesh on the roof. Just felt it looked like if the tent roof goes you’ll be in trouble. Still a cracking looking tent for the money. Great video Gav

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

Thanks bud. Appreciated. I must admit that thought crossed my mind about the roof but thought it was worth trying out. I’d consider getting a Banshee again in the future I think. But so many tents to choose from!

@rufusduck71 3 месяца назад

Nice video . My first tent for my son and i to take backpacking was the banshee pro 300 .and i love it .but at 2.8 kg plus a ground sheet its heavy .so i replaced it with a nature hike opalus 2 which is brilliant with a huge porch area .but the sleeping part is a touch low .so ive just changed again for this summers adventures to a vango krypton ul2 .which is the same weight as the opalus but has huge internal space . And 2 good porches .comes in at 2.4 kg with the extra ground sheet .same as my nature hike with porch ground sheet .

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

Nice one. Choices choices eh. So many good tents out there. I also like the Banshee 300 - great tent - but the weight is definitely an issue for longer hikes. 👍🏻

And it’s always nice to see them compared too. I’d have found it useful before buying mine.

@grizzlydoutdoors5115 3 месяца назад

I have both of them tents also. I think I prefer the cloud peak 2 because of the large double vestibules. I'm trying to get my daughter to choose which one she wants to use on her DofE expedition.

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

Great budget tents eh. Liking the CP2 as it’s a bit of a novelty at the moment still being new etc. Gotta love a new tent. I think if she chooses either they’ll look after her on the trail. Banshee 300 bit on the heavy side though Dave.

@grizzlydoutdoors5115 3 месяца назад

@@HikingForHealth1 that's my thinking too, and with her sharing with her mate I think the double vestibules will come into their own when regards to kit.

@Camped_on_Dartmoor 3 месяца назад

my first tent was the banshee 200, it coped pretty well on Dartmoor it never leaked, the only thing I found was headroom. if anyone wants a bivy style tent id say get this more room. the cloud peak is luxury compared easy to put your gear away while its raining. this too never leaked and was subjected to a lot of heavy rain. I did find the ground sheet a bit lacking though.

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

Yup, everything about the Banshee is brilliant but just the headroom issue. I got the Banshee 200 and returned it for the 300 as it was a bit more roomy inside and the headroom was better slightly. Depends what you’re after though, if it is a stealthy tent you just want to lay in and sleep then it’s perfect. The CP2 offers more living space and makes it easier to get changed in the tent. In four years of having the Banshee it never let me down once. Absolutely brilliant. Never leaked. Looking forward to seeing what this CP2 can do. One of the earlier comments mentioned tightening the roof slightly and attaching it permanently on two points so it’s always in the correct configuration. He also mentioned a ground sheet which fits the vestibules too which can be bought on Amazon. The comment is here for this video with the link. Thanks for watching! 😀

@TimmyBobinson 3 месяца назад

@@HikingForHealth1 Why not attach the skylight cover permanently? It wouldn't affect you errecting/disnmantling the tent. Tip: use shock cord so it pulls just tight enough under all conditions.

@bigkahooney 3 месяца назад

@@HikingForHealth1 This would be more ideal choice for the top cover, also solves the flapping issue as well with the top cover. Bit more work like! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LqAfjRZutPs.html

@camping_guru_uk 3 месяца назад

Great video but I think I might be able to help you out a bit. You've had the Vango for a while now but it looks to me you've been pitching it wrong maybe all that time. The main "adjustable" webbing straps at the front and back look like you've pegged them out through the small stitched "pull" loop which is incorrect as you have no adjustment doing that. If you watch this video I made years ago when I had my shop you'll see the correct way to use those straps. On the Vango family tents they also had a plastic pegging piece but on tents like the banshee you just peg through the big loop area that's left when you adjust it correctly. Anyway, maybe watch the video and see if it helps. Cheers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SOVHaRn9kWE.htmlsi=Drhh6DeXdipXW_fR

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

I’ll look into that 🙂 Every day’s a school day 😉 atb 👍🏻

@TimmyBobinson 3 месяца назад

Which one is your favourite? :)

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

At the present time, I’m terms of nostalgia for the tent it would be the Banshee 300. But if I’d bought the Cloud Peak first it would probably be that. 😂 They’re both brilliant budget tents but only just getting to know the CP2. It looks great so far and with a couple of tweaks will be even better. Thanks for watching! 😀

@TimmyBobinson 3 месяца назад

@@HikingForHealth1 I was after an Opoplus 2 for for wet weather camping, and just got one last month. Not tried it yet. However large footprint of the Opolus means it can't fit into small ridge edge spots etc so I'm guessing it will be restricted to forest/campsite duties, but I have a CU.2 for that. The CP.2 is a great tent also, the weight put me off buying one. I like my tents sub 2Kg, so I can carry more food haha. I'm a big eater. Subbed to your channel mate.

@TimmyBobinson 3 месяца назад

@@HikingForHealth1 The Bashnee 200 was my first tent. unfortunately it was just too short inside for me, and my mat and bag were pressing into the foot area. It was like a torture box. Took it back to Go-Outdoors (clean) and got a refund.

@TimmyBobinson 3 месяца назад

@@HikingForHealth1 I've seen others have issues with the skylight cover flapping, coming loose in high winds etc. Have you had any trouble with that? In addition to the weight, for a one user tent (see below) it put me off.

@HikingForHealth1 3 месяца назад

We’ve certainly had a lot of wet weather. Hopefully it’ll be a great summer. Can’t beat a good bit of food on a camp. Got the Jetboil Skillet recently. Did a review on the channel. Great for cooking up a bit of steak or some burgers!
