Cloud Up 2

I use the nature hike star river 2, cloud up 1 and 2. Awesome durable tents that are incredible quality for the price.

I have had decent success with a *Cloud Up 2 Lightweight Backpacking Tent*. It has its cons and its pros, but for the distances I tend to walk (60 to 100 miles typically), it works well as a one-person tent. I like the water proofing when it is new, and the rain fly above the entrance lets me put my pack outside. A "long, wide" air mattress tends to be a tight fit length-wise. It costs about US$165. > Looking for something thats "designed for 3 people". Three-person tents are good for two people, with their gear outside.

Indeed, I like my Cloud Up 2 Lightweight Backpacking Tent. I found the "one person" to be too small, as I like to have my gear inside the tent at night. I once had an animal, in the East Mojave Desert, walk away with one of my boots. I wrote about this in my well-selling memoir.

>On a budget, the Naturehike tents are the best of the "Amazon special" cheap knockoffs. Indeed, and I agree. I like my Cloud Up 2 Lightweight Backpacking Tent, as it is good for one person (though not for tall people).

My first tent was the naturehike cloud up 2 and honestly I loved it. I severed me well for many hikes and weighed around 1.8kg. There’s some modifications on YouTube that might be worth considering. I never had it in any severe weather, but there are plenty of YouTube videos where people have and it’s survived. I might suggest getting the 2 instead of the 1 as a lot of people say the 1 is too small, but it’s your call :)

I used the nature hike cloud up 2 and it lasted me a whole thru hike on the PCT without any faults. Cost about £100. Its my go to tent now, I would never bother buying anything more expensive

The cloud up 2 is a fantastic tent, highly recommend.

I did a pretty serious hike with just Walmart gear, but I have since upgraded to mostly budget online / Chinese brands. Here's approximately what I have: Tent: Paria Outdoors Arches 2P Trekking Pole Tent / 3FULGEAR Lanshan 2 / Naturehike Cloud Up UL 2P / Naturehike Cloud Up EXT 2P. I have a Lanshan 2 with solid inner as well as the Cloud Up EXT. I think the Arches is a better trekking pole tent if you don't care about having a solid inner. Pad: Walmart CCF + OneTigris NobleJade sleeping pad. Bag: Paria Outdoors Thermodown 30 Down Quilt + I like having a sleeping bag liner for ease of washing. I actually have the 15 degree version. Backpack: Naturehike 60+5L backpack / 3FULGEAR Yue 55 / 3FULGEAR Tianshan. Cooking: Paria and Fire Maple have some good stuff. Trekking poles: I have some CMT ones and some BD ones.

I have that same tent (although I'm in Australia, and I'm only 176cm). Got it from Amazon. Light, inexpensive, and importantly, it packs up super small. A great starter tent for me to use while I lust over the Durstons.
