Naturehike - Cloud Peak

Hi, I can say that the CloudPeak 2 is an excellent value for money tent. Had it for couple of years and used it many times. It’s based on the shape of the Hilleberg Allak but at a fifth of the price. I’m always careful with the zips, avoid being heavy handed and it’ll be absolutely fine. Pros: good head room, two large vestibules and it’s free standing. Used mine last night in the Peaks and once I got it sorted I could move it around to get the best flat pitch before pegging in properly. I’ve reviewed it on my YT channel Hiking for Health if that’s of any use for you. https://youtu.be/Ym7eD6Wgxf4?si=bX2_4SR8odZOjcWp Get one, you’ll love it I’m sure.

Out of those, I only have a Cloud Peak. Not sure what level of wind it can put up with - I've never been caught out in it by anything too concerning, but I remember seeing a Summit or Nothing video where Trev got caught out in his and it survived. That was one of the reasons I chose it over the Taji, which I was also considering at the time. The pegs do seem a bit too dinky for windy conditions but perhaps I'm paranoid. Last time I used it I took a load of Alpkit Spikes instead of the stock pegs, but barely had a breeze. They're quite heavy so that was a bit of a waste of energy I suppose, but that's life, eh?

We picked up a 2p Nature hike tents off of Amazon and it was the happy medium you're looking for. It has quickly become our favourite tent. The poles are super easy and intuitive to put together. The tent is durable and has plenty of space too!

Naturehike tents have been my festival or car camping tents for years but the 2p ones make half decent trekking tents too. They’re made in China so it’s not weird to order them from Temu. Personally I got mine from AliExpress and they are higher quality, and thus more likely to last, compared to other similarly priced tents. I think buying one is more environmentally friendly in this way. The most environmentally friendly tent is a secondhand tent but the next best thing is one that will not immediately become landfill.

I have a nature hike 6 person mastiff for when my boys and when I go I use 2 person Nature hike. Have a wood stove and metal pipes. Feel safe. Might want to invest in a saw or a mini chain saw.

I’ve got the two man nature hike and it’s great, did Lands End > John O’Groats in it and had no issues.
