Review on 🏕️ Naturehike Backpacking Tent: Lightweight, Waterproof & Spacious for Solo Camping – Includes Footprint by Christopher Smith

When it comes to bikepacking, I like backpackers with credit cards more, but I wanted to get a tent for hiking. I really didn't want to spend more than $300 for a tent that can be used twice a year. I found this $100 Nature Hike Spider 1 tent and decided to give it a try. When I opened the tent bag I was surprised to see a Sea to Summit pillow inside, but after taking it out of my pannier I found that it had been used. This tent must have been returned although it had all the tags and appeared unassembled. The first thing I did was throw away the tent bag as I had just put it in the tent. . I then weighed the tent when I was about to pack it up and it weighed 3.5 pounds with decking and 3 pounds without. I was very impressed! The tent poles are pretty junk so I replaced them with titanium poles and the thick and heavy pads with polycro pads. I like a bag that has a tent and poles. Rather than having to roll up the tent and try to stuff it into a small condom or bag, this one has a zip closure at the top making it very easy to pack. I bought a 20D navy blue tent and it's a great low profile color for stealth camping. I would have preferred army green but it was sold out. The navy blue fades at night for sneak camping and a subdued Nature Hike logo has been applied to the inside of the flysheet so it's not even visible from the outside. The interior of the tent has a hook for hanging a headlamp or overhead lantern and a corner pocket near the ground on the right side of the tent head for a phone or goggles. There's plenty of headroom, but the length probably won't suit those over 6ft who want their sleeping bag to stay clear of the tent wall. I have quite a few inches on each side of me though.
