Naturehike Star River 2 🏕️ TEST ON THE SUMMIT ⛰️ | SNOWDONIA - PEN YR OLE WEN | DISASTER! 

Interesting watch, you didn't give it a fair go really, and end of the day it still kept you dry. If asking so much from a budget tent next time would be good to see the guy lines out and the tent oriented into the wind. Good video though mate, I've subbed, would like to see more adventures with budget tents!

Brilliant the view of the time-lapse clouds there building the tent and canny review buddy class good vlog 👍

Wow you're very daring. Thanks for the video! Good to know about the tent! -Shybee

Are you serious ? A single pole tent, insufficient or even no guy lines at all, and the broad side into a strong wind : what did you expect ? Any such tent would collapse.

Good test for tent and at least they replacing poles. Fab to watch though 👏👍🏼

Nice review 😊

Awesome camp spot

Was there a specific reason you decided to pitch it sideways (where the tent is weakest) to the wind?

Good vid mate, thanks for sharing! When did you film this? I was on the other side of the valley on the 27th Jan, just above Devils Kitchen, it was brutal! The wind snapped two of the corner pegging points on my Helm 1, it’s just thin cord so can me replaced, but I definitely learnt some lessons. Do you think the naturehike would have faired better if you would have used extra guys?

Lad there's no way that's 40mph wind you'd hardly be able to stand up in it and talk. Where's your wind meter readings? Or is it RU-vid wind?

Quando vi que vc nao armou as linhas de vento e ate colocando extras, parei de ver.

Just some feedback as the test was daring and with the right idea. If you see windtunnel tests they always bolt the tent to the concrete floor that is how they handle 120 + km/h winds. Your tent is only as strong as the holding power to the ground. And it is held to the ground by your guylines and with pegs. There were extra small loops on the wind side (That you showed during the day time). In situations like this is is normal to take the guylines from the side you don't use and add them there. this really could have helped. Or buy some guy rope and bring two/ four more stakes. No need for the plastics on the guylines learn to make a taut line hitch. it is deadsimple and you have yourself extra adjustable. Also it looked like the fly-sheet was not lied properly to the poles in some places. If i remember right there are little like velcro or strings to tie them there these are really important and give the poles more rigidity this will help them hold up better.

Why didn’t you guy it out ? 😂

These are never aerodynamic tents and are always going to struggle in the wind

Desculpe mas montou a barraca com a lateral para o vento, deveria ter montado com a estrutura voltada para o vento.

Naturehike tents just aren’t built to handle bad weather especially on summits They shouldn’t be allowed to market some of their tents as 4 season because they just aren’t which could potentially get people into trouble if they take the marketing at face value Another thing is I don’t think those winds hit 50/60mph because you’d barely be able to stand up in those winds especially because you didn’t measure the winds with an anemometer And that tent would of been shredded or ripped out the ground in those sorts of winds Don’t think people realise how strong 50/60mph winds are
