MIND-BLOWINGLY Bad! - NatureHike Canyon Tent Review


What was NatureHike thinking? 

This tent is incredible and also AWFUL at the same time!
Made by NatureHike, the Canyon Tent is unlike any tent that I have seen before.....it is the fastest pop-up tent that I have ever seen but it makes very little sense.

This is Luke's Agenda Free Review of the Canyon Instant tent.

Finally a Lightweight Instant Popup Tent - NatureHike Canyon Tent

This is a very interesting tent and in fact, you’re about to see just how interesting it is in this episode.

Person : 1 or 2 person 

Doors : 1 on the 1P and 2 on the 2P 

Included
Storage Bag
7 tent stakes
Tent with body
7 guy lines which come preattached. 

Materials
1P : Silicon treated 20D Nylon Ripstop fly and 70D ripstop Nylon floor
2P : 210T Ripstop Polyester fly and 19t Polyester floor.
Both tents feature a fiberglass pole system

Waterproof Rating : 2000mm HSH

Dimensions
1P : Measure on video
2P : Since I don’t have the 2P version I can’t state accurately what the measurements are.

Folded Dimensions
1P : 18” x 6”
2P : 23.2” x 7.8” 

Weight
1P : 3.3lbs
2P : 7.2lbs

Colors : Brown for the 1P, Brown, Green and Red for the 2P

Price
$155 for the 1P on Aliexpress
$160 for the 2P on Amazon
$190 for the 2P on NH’s Web site

I would love to see NH consolidate all of their products; they produce so much and their products seem to pop up all over the place and also disappear.  

One day a tent will be on their website, the next day it is gone.  Then it’s on Amazon and then it's gone but it pops up on Aliexpress.  
….
Impressions :

Setup
Quality 
Materials
Fabric inner - this is what i consider a big problem with this tent - this material is going to hold in a lot of heat while blocking wind - 
does the door have mesh?
Size 
Weight : the weight of the 1p is manageable for the trail but the 2P is rather high.  High enough that I would classify it as a car camping style of tent only.
Easy to get into and out of?
Any issues?

Rain testing is coming up soon.

NatureHike Spire Tent - Trekking Pole Tent on the Cheap - First Look 

Person : 1

Doors : 1

Set-up Modes : 2 - Tent mode with an Inner and what the company calls Canopy which is just the fly.

Materials
- Fly : 20D Sil-Nylon
- Bottom : 38T Nylon
- Polyester Mesh Netting
- Corners : 300D Oxford Polyester for the Corners 
- Poles : None Included 
- Stakes : Aluminum 

Waterproof Rating : 2000mm fly and 3000mm bottom.

Measurements Stored : 15.75” x 5.12"

Measurements Set-up : 82.68” x 82.68” x 53.15”

Weight : 3.2lbs with all accessories and included footprint. Tent weights 2.4lbs and that’s the fly and inner with no groundsheet or stakes. 

Colors : Forest Green Only from what I have seen on the NH website. 

Price :  $130

Included : Fly, Inner Body, Ground Sheet, 15 tent stakes 
……
Thoughts and Impressions : 

Weight : 3.2lbs for the tent without any trekking poles means this is still a somewhat heavy tent.  If you are carrying trekking poles anyways then great, this tent could be of a benefit. If you are having to carry poles for this tent specifically and you normally wouldn't carry them, then this is a heft system for what it is. 

Size : This tent is small and I would say only for users around 5’3” - There is a picture of a man sleeping in the tent on the NH website and you can see that his legs aren’t even straight in the tent.

Fjallraven Abisko Tarp - Details

What it is : It has been some time since I posted my preview of this tarp - since then I have continued to test it and have done so in a variety of conditions ranging from warm summer days and nights to cold and windy winter ones.

This is the 10x10’ Fjallraven Abisko Tarp and unfortunately this product is simply not worth the rather high cost.

After a great deal of testing I can share with you both the cons as well as the pros of what I consider to be an expensive disappointment. 

Originally I purchased this Tarp from the Ray Mears site as it wasn’t available in the USA.  Over time that has changed and this tarp is available on Amazon and it can be found at other sites as well.  Not that I would recommend that you purchase it but as an FYI.

Colors
Pine Green

Sizes :
10x10
11.5’ x 14.5’ -

Weights :
10x10 - 1.1lbs
11.5’ x 14.5’ - 1.9lbs

Materials :
40D TripleRip Sil/Sil 3000 mm 100% polyamide
Guyline: 2 mm Dyneema (160 kg) reflective

What’s included :
Tarp 
Storage bag
Six adjustable guylines (the large size includes 8 guylines)

Price :
10x10 - I paid $140 for this tarp originally and it looks like the price has gone down over time.  I’ve seen the 10x10’ for $120 and the  
Large - 11.5ft’ x 14.5’- $214 instead of $240.

From the company :
The Fjallraven Abisko Tarp is made from lightweight, strong nylon. Practical as an accessory for tents but can also be used by itself as a shelter. 

This 10 x 10’ tarp is made from light and very strong 40 D TripleRip Sil-Nylon fabric and includes Dyneema guylines. A tarp can be used together with a regular tent to create an outside living space but is also easy to use by itself as a shelter to sleep under.
Made for a lifetime of use. 

Also easy to use by itself as a shelter from wind and rain.

This is a Must Have for Summer Camping - Game Changer - SmartDevil USB F...


What I'm reviewing today is a product that I have been using for many years - I absolutely love it and I think you will too.

For some, it will be a game-changer as it makes camping in hot conditions a possibility and get this, it's light weight, takes up little space and is inexpensive. 

I purchased this fan back in 2020 and have been thankful to have it on virtually every single one of my warm weather trips.

I take it backpacking, truck camping, overlanding across the country and on warm evenings, I plug it in and it helps me get a good night’s sleep.

This is a USB powered fan from a company called SmartDevil and in this episode, I’m going over why I like it so much.

Compact design doesn’t take up much space

This product is amazing! 
What I have today are telescoping poles that I have been using for years with tent and tarp set ups.

Green Elephant Adjustable Poles Review

Versions
The Black version is the longest
There is a silver version that is the shortest

Length
Long : 2’ 9.5” to 8’ 2.8”
Short : 2’ 1.2” to 5’

Weight :
Long : 1.1lb
Short : .7lb

Materials
Plastic, Rubber, Aluminum and stainless steel

Price : $55 for the 8’, $45 for the 5’

Included
Storage bag and 2 poles 

Review Pros :
Excellent quality poles
Have heard up to all sorts of conditions year after year without any problem - they have held up extremely well in rain, ice, snow, and wind
Can support a lot of weight, up to 50lbs but that requires a great deal of tightening. 
Shorter poles can support up to 35lbs
Smooth telescoping 
Highly adjustable
Easy to set up and breakdown
Lightweight 
Very versatile 
Universal tip will fit any grommet
The rubber caps do a great job of allowing the poles to be used up against tarp or tent material without causing sort of damage

Review Cons :
the company says these are waterproof and I have no idea what they are talking about as these poles will fill with water if you are using them with a tarp if they are exposed to rain.  The poles will fill with water and when you break them down will act like a squirt gun.  Because the water is on the inside, it takes forever for them to dry.

Does this cause any rusting?  I do not know, I haven’t seen any discolored water coming from these as i continue to use them and they continue to operate without issue even though I have used these year after year. The company claims these are rustproof and so far this seems accurate. 

The top rubber pole covers will eventually dry out and will rip off
The shorter silver versions aren’t that useful as they don’t do anything that the longer version can’t do and are almost the same price. 
Pricey - and depending on what you are setting up, you may need more than just 2 poles.  You might need 6 or even 8.
I mentioned previously that these poles can hold up to 50lbs but that’s with a great deal of tightening.  If you have them that tight you may struggle with getting them loose
I don’t remember specifically why as it has been so long since I threw them away, but I didn’t like the storage bag that was included with these poles.
