Great to hear! I just received my mongar 2 UL and can't wait to test it out tomorrow. The Star River also looked great! I have the older 210T model. I opted for the Mongar because it offers a bit more fabric in the inner tent, just like my old Star River and has a lot more headroom making it a very roomy tent
Naturehike is da bomb imo….. I have a gen one star river still going strong after multiple years of 5 day plus hikes
I would go with the Mongar 2 UL. The issue I have with the star River is the way the zipper attaches making it a pain to open and close. It's also more designed for hot weather rather than cold. Both are good tents, but of the ones you mentioned, I'd pick the MongarUL. The only real negative I have with it is the colour (same for the Star River)
I have the naturehike star river 2p good quality for the price and easy setup :)
I have a naturehike star river and think it's great although it was quite cold when I used it last February. I don't remember there being much of an issue with condensation but that's probably because the whole top half of the tent is a mesh. I'm really interested in your table lamp though, my lantern style one really is too bright to have on the table and this looks like it isn't as blinding. What is it?
Naturehike tents or zorali tents will be perfect to start with on a budget get a 3p tent it’s big enough for both of you and then use it either for car camping or hike in Get insulated mats to sleep on and either the Mont helium sleeping bags or neve quilts or sea to summit ember quilts Lights are a must get some head lamps and a bright lantern for the area to cook in If cooking by fire Alton titanium grill 40-60l Icebox not esky and companion 3 burner stove Small table and couple of the foldable stools not the modern camping chairs or the director’s chair
