@henrysleath 3 года назад

I love my Mongar 2! Top tip for packing it when hiking though: pack the fly sheet and inner in the main bag and it'll compress right down to the size of a melon, then pack the poles and pegs separately in your bag - fills the holes in your pack better 😁

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

Great tip there Henry. Thanks very much.

@a_b_h_i_a_b_h_i 3 года назад

I was thinking of it. Thanks for your insight Henry!

@trip_in_the_mirror 2 года назад

Hi can you write to me what are the dimensions of the bag after inserting the tent without the aluminum frame and pegs - after maximum compression? Thanks:)

@jc55555jc Год назад

Hey Henry, I like the fact it has 2 doors but the fly sheet looks a bit short.. Have you found it to be draughty? 🤔

@unladpinoytv 9 месяцев назад

what height are you? is it still spacious when you lie down straight

@beschuitfluiter 3 года назад

Used this tent in Iceland on the laugavegur and fimmvörðuháls trails. Performed great! And yes, middle pole goes over. Two reasons:it rests on the pole instead of pulling on the rubber. And it's a bit tighter. The inner tie offs make this tent very sturdy in the wind. Tent is symmetrical, so inner and fly go either way. The loops of the inner can be put under the loops of the mat so you can set it up more quickly

@jc55555jc Год назад

Good to know!! 👌I like the fact it has 2 doors but the fly sheet looks a bit short.. Have you found it to be draughty? 🤔

@paulkeeley1905 3 года назад

If you run the top cross pole under the frame instead of over then it lowers the sides and gives you less airflow but a bit more protection.

@Dean_Smith 3 года назад

Absolutely love my Star River 2. Very similar but with the asymmetric height ends "inspired by" the Big Agnes Copper Spur as opposed to the symmetric design of the Mongar "inspired by" the MSR hubba hubba. Mine has the clips for the fly corners on both the inner and the ground mat corner tapes. Which means that you can absolutely do fly first or inner first depending on the weather. The Mongar looks like the vestibules are slightly larger which wouldn't be a bad thing. There is also a Mongar in 210T darker green for those looking for a stealthier option. Keep the tent reviews coming !

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

Must say I did enjoy the old star River, except mine had snow skirt which really annoyed me during the night. I did find it colder for one person, so I imagine I may have the same issue here having more headroom and far more mesh.

@preciouscode98 Год назад

Do you still own the Star River? And how good has it held up? I've got one and it's very nice but my groundsheet is way too big and doesn't clip in easily unfortunately. They also say it condensates a lot?

@Dean_Smith Год назад

@@preciouscode98I do - gets the occasional use and remains a favourite. I now have a Southern Cross 1 for sole use which is obviously a big step up but tiny. I recently bought a WC Panacea 2 - which is very similar to the SR2 but with the poles outside the fly. Although vestibules are bigger its actually narrower in the sleeping area. (noticed by my Daughter in comparison on a recent camp). So for 2 the SR2 feels slightly bigger with a slightly smaller footprint. Footprint matt for mine has always felt a perfect fit and clips easily. - strange. The included footprint always feels such a bargain compared to the overpriced terra-nova/wild country add-ons.

@Senki207 9 месяцев назад

The twist-locking clips are absolutely genius: I have friends who use this tent for winter camping, and the twist-lock clips are one of the main reasons they opted for this model. The most common clips rely on the elasticity of the plastic to clip onto the pole (sort of hooks that can bend open so that the pole can snap in). The problem with that is that polymer elasticity drops dramatically with temperature. At -15 °C, those hooks are VERY brittle, forcing the pole into them can easily snap them. This design, however, does not require the plastic clip to retain its elasticity to function, there's no bending required.

@shaunbowen 3 года назад

Same one I just got! I missed what you said half way through cos all I could focus on was the clip you missed on the inner tent.

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

@jamesjeal 3 года назад

Good tent, I’ve got one! Not the warmest but a very OTT sleeping bag and you’re fine. I prefer the grey colour, I’m not about the team extreme colours… I used 4 small carabiners to fix the ground mat and bottom of the tent together so I never have to faff with getting them together. Think I’ll get the porch extension at some point too. Space and head height is great along with the gear loft, super useful. Edit - I should say, I came across the naturehike brand via Summit or Nothing quite some time ago so your channel is definitely doing something right! 👏🏻👏🏻

@AllThingsConsidered333 Год назад

Just got mine today- came with absolutely no instructions so I appreciate you doing this video on how to set up! I got the polyester bcs I hate the colors of the 20D. It’s bigger & heavier than I expected but it’ll do for now and I got it on sale for $99USD. I’m only just getting started in backpacking from day hiking so this is fine for me for now. It seems like a tough little tent that can handle decently strong wind & rain. I look forward to using it this autumn!

@SummitOrNothing Год назад

That's strange about the instructions, naturehike usually have them sown into the top of end of the stuff sack. Anyway, yea, for £100 tent you can't go too far wrong. Enjoy!

@seanb1081 3 месяца назад

I’ve seen another video review of this tent where it shows that if you first set up the top central cross rod UNDERNEATH the main central arch you can the get the fly sheet/ outer tarp much closer to the ground and reduce air flow in the tent during cold weather.

@Destro7000 3 года назад

Doesn't that white surface all around you keep you awake when you're trying to sleep at night/morning? I like darker interiors like I like to blackout my room at night when trying to sleep, I think the white amplifies the little light outside that there is. Great for readers I guess, but ppl generally have torches/lamps!

@thewanderlustadventurer5665 3 года назад

Great review as always, I have had this ⛺️ now since March & love it👍🏼.Had several wildcamps in it & even took it on a 5 day Hadrian’s Wall hike 4 wks ago with no problems. As you say it’s very much a 3 Season Spring-Autumn tent due to the vents,mesh & I did use it in July with just the inner when it was a barmy 20 degree night in the Brecon Beacons. I am 6ft 2” and love it as a great 1 man ,spacious!cosy 2 man⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Certainly value for money & pretty much a clone of the MSR Hubba Hubba yet a snip of the £££. I’m looking for a solid winter 🏕 preferably Nature Hike so any suggestions welcome.

Think they have 3 different versions of this tent like 20D, 15D and 510T. Basicly it's the same as MSR Hubba Hubba 2P. Just a lot cheaper. So copy a construction is pretty nice sometimes. If you're not to bothered with bugs flying around, you can use only Fly- & groundsheet combo

@tonyanddeb1012 3 года назад

I have the 15D version, it's my favourite tent, I have the porch extension too and what a difference that makes! As for the colour - I love it and it hasn't done MSR any harm has it lol. Another stonker of a vid Trev, keep them coming!

It was a toss up between this and my Robens boulder 2. Decided on Robens just because the Mongar was difficult to get last year. Though I do prefer having separate poles as I find the fully connected ones harder work. Oh and less mesh in Robens so holds the heat better.

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

Yea there is a lot of mesh in this one. Don't know if they do different versions of the inners. Must say the poles are straight forward enough, ypu only need to shake them a bit and they pretty much set themselves up.

But that isn't what it was designed for.

I'm undecided between this and the Cloud Up 3... mainly because I really like the Mongar 2, but there will often be me + girlfriend + toddler, and I think it'll be a tight squeeze in the Mongar :( (considering the Mongar 2 with the additional large vestibule for me to sleep in!)

@deanwood1338 3 года назад

@@saccerzd maybe look at the cloud peak 2. I’ve had myself and my two kids in that 11 and 9. Plus all the gear. It’s a hard choice for sure… but I think I’m leaning towards the UP. But also I believe they do a mongar 3. So even more options to confuse you 🤣 my bad

@grahamkay8711 3 года назад

I like the tents but I got a sleeping bag from them it was a lot of money and there was an issue with the bag and email them and the did not reply until I got PayPal involved and they would not send me a new bag until I sent it back but shipping was 3/4 of the price and they would not help in any so beware that the service sucks they need to figure that out so they lost me as a customer so beware the customer service sucks very unprofessional

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

Ah that does sound a shame. It can be frustrating trying to communicate with many companies, another good reason to go through a supplier like outdoor gear essentials so that you deal with them and they deal with the issue. I have had a lot of gear off of Naturehike and so far no problems with any products, including their sleeping bagso a shame you have.

Inner sheet, poles, outer sheet, what a faff, thats why i use a Slumit Cub 2, up in 30 seconds and pegged out in 2 mins, bone dry and stable.

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

Must admit Mike, that does look an intriguing tent, may have to take a closer look at that one

@markperry4474 3 года назад

Another great review thanks. Looking at the ties inside the flysheet, it looks like some of them are connected to the tie off points for the guy ropes and that would mean the guy lines are tied to the poles which will make it all stronger in a storm wind. Is there any chance you can do a review of the 3FUL Taichi 2?

@SummitOrNothing 3 года назад

That makes a lot of sense, will have a look at that when I'm up on the hill. As for the tent recommendation, bare with me and I will look into it. Cheers!

@ThiRodovalho 3 года назад

Hey, Trev! First of all, thanks for the videos, they're great! I'm looking for a 2 persons trekking tent and I'm between the Mongar 2 and the Star River 2... I've seen your vs. video about them.... wich one do you recomend me? I'm from Brazil, I'll use it in the high mountains, cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Thanks a lot!

@Jbonn6141 Год назад

Should be getting mine today. I'll be using it in the Pyrenees this summer with my girlfriend. With two people in an actual 2 man tent I went with the all mesh inner to increase ventilation and reduce condensation. Hopefully this works!

@jboutdoors8165 Год назад

There's also two metal rings on the outer fly that hook onto the cross beam. If you open the fly door and look directly up you'll see them, just helps to center the tent relative to the frame. One thing I'll say is that the fly is under a LOT of tension when clipped onto the cross beam. Also, the end of the cross beam has a sharp ish edge to it that is pressed up against the outer fly which looks a bit sketchy. It would be much better to see a fabric pocket that the cross beam can slide into instead.

@jtaylorb88 Год назад

I went ahead and use some repair tape on the inside right at that point to give it better protection and strength.

My last go-to tent was the Cloud Up, compact and lightweight, good in all weathers, it just lacked on a porch cover for cooking and it could've done with a bit more headroom. The Mongar looks like a good solution for that. I'll forgive it the slightly iffy name!

Mine is an older model i think. No clips on the corners, but same eyelets as on inner and groundsheet. Also believe its a bit lower/smaller. Still love it though. Great for single person use with gear. For 2p with gear I use the Cloud up3.
