MSR Hubba Hubba NX Storm Test 47 km Gusts - Hiking with Evac - #msr #hubba #hubbahubba #hubbahubbanx

Hi Evac, I see in your videos that you use different tent. I can see that you have use the hubba hubba of course, but also the Hilleberg Niak. how so you see these two tents and which do you perfer?
Is the Niak worth the extra money?

The best Advert I've seen for opting for an outer pitch first tent in the UK!

is this the universal footprint without grommets? or an older NX specific with?

Yup! I tried pitching this up in my backyard with some 30mph wind last week, and doable with 1 person (yours truly) setting it up! Didn’t get blown away and still standing up the next morning 😝

the next night I tried to sleep inside, still quite gusty and so it was quite noisy inside! A bit scary watching the top of the rain fly blowing in the wind, so for my backpacking trip I’ll bring earplugs I think 😅

When it turned into a parachute I pissed myself 🤣

Fantastic video, thanks! This was super helpful, because I have just won the 2022 hubba hubba 2p tent, and I have been watching reviews of it.

I am so grateful for winning it! Along with the MSR pocket rocket deluxe stove! 🥰🏕️🏞️

Much respect, from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Great job. 👋Very useful demo.

That is one of THE most useful tent videos I have ever seen- Thank You. I definitely want to see a tent put up in adverse conditions BEFORE I buy it and do it myself. Great demonstration showing the rotation and the effects on the front of the tent as opposed to having the wind on the backside. Very useful demo- thank you.

This video really settles it, I'm buying this tent. Thank you for this review :)

Thanks for this video! Very helpful for me to watch how you did this; and to see how the tent holds up in the weather.

Hi mate. Would you still recommend this a year on.

Does your footprint click into your inner and fly mate?

Great video

I'm convinced, thank you! Was contemplating between the MSR Hubba NX1 and NEMO Dragonfly. My main concern was the wind resistance, and this video settled that.

At 17 mins in,,, I thought yes it would make a good kite too if the ropes were long enough....

Just stumbled across this video. I’ve owned a Hubba Hubba for a few years and am very pleased with its durability. Excellent work in difficult conditions! Would like to see you attempt to erect the inner tent during similar (rainier?) conditions. I’ve luckily not needed to do that on my trips (yet), but would love to see a demonstration of that prior to a real world situation. Hats off to you, mate!

Why are all the Guy connections not connected to be extra stable on the tent security. It does appear that way but I could be wrong with the viewpoint I have.

Great real world test on positioning the tent too. Its all well hearing all about it but its nice to actually see the diff and it seemed to be a big diff.

Hi there,

Is it harder to set up putting the fly on first then the inner? Its just this would be a good practice to be in. Especially being from UK like ourselves. Only 1 min away from rain.

Or is it much easier to put inner up first then fly and other way should only be left for storms?

Interested in opinions

Was the Cross Pole underneath the main 'ridge' pole or below it? According to MSR the cross pole needs to be on top of the 'ridge pole.

I'm assuming that's the MSR footprint? Would it be possible to use a different footprint and still set it up this way?

great demonstrated issue in practice. very helpful buddy 👍

Thank you for your Wind test Video. what do you do about the wind that goes through your tent? When I slept in my hubba hubba with just the food print, the wind came in and made me really cold. I did not solve this problem. Do you have any idea to get the fly more to the ground so the wind can not creep in?

The top crossing pole should be on the top. That puts less stress on the construction in high winds

Wow what a windy setup! Good job.
Does your footprint come with the grommets for the poles sewn in, because from what I understand the new footprints don't have grommets for the easy fast pitch option and it's stirred up a bit of controversy. I hope I can find one with the grommets.

I didn't expected a video of mounting a tent in a rainy day in my island 😂

That tent was not oriented properly to deal with high winds.

Cheap an ain't ways best

Why comment a test when the whole tent isn't used and also in the wrong way..? The top crossed bar should be over the other one, for better stability.. Still a good test ;)

Top pole should be above the main pole. Nice video thou.

This video made me really happy about my purchase of my tent...a Hilleberg Soulo. My Soulo tent has gone through about 5 times stronger winds and much more rain than what you mention and did not flex as much as that Hubba...has kept me dry, warm and sheltered everytime it has been pitched. Can't even count how many MSR, Big Agnes and other supposedly expediton level UL tents I have seen either break, torn, blown away, leaked through or their inhabitants crawling out shivering because they offer virtually no insulation with their all mesh inner tents.
If you are planning on travelling in areas like in Iceland where I live, I would look at other options than that tent.

That looked like fun... 👍

This is a TEST 💪

Thanks for sharing this video. I just got my hubba so am trawling for tips. I can’t find a groundsheet for it her in Oz so am looking into making something to allow me to ‘fast fly’. How come all the MSR videos I watch are posh lads in the garden of their mansion though? Do all mansions come with a free tent?

The short "top cross pole" should be on top, needs to be flipped around to be the highest pole. that greatly increases stability.

good setup, i can imagine in strong winds the fly just get ripped out of your hands though unless you could attach to the ground points straight away, i like the look of the tent overall just not sure about keeping the fly on while pitching.

Good test! Hahah crappy editing but that's the way it is - I love that!

Thanks for the excellent content! I have a hubba hubba nx2 and am totally impressed. I've had the tent in some extreme weather situations and it has never failed me. Best Always.....Bob V

It'd be interesting to see how hard it is to pitch the inner tent in hard-is wind and rain without anything going wrong.

what ground sheet/footprint are you using?

Very bad recent reviews on hubba's . I got main sealed along stitches and joints , have you ?

It seems you’re ready for heavy winds of the eastern Icelandic fjords!

Has Robbie Williams taken up camping? LOL, great video thank you. I just purchased one and haven’t had time to test it yet, but was concerned it seemed too frail, so appreciate this test before I take it out in earnest. 👍

you could use two small lines at either end of the tent with adjustable sliding prussic knots to pull out the 2 end vents open and taught attached to the MAIN END TIE OUT GUY LINES with out using tent pegs and keeping the weight down .

Thanks a lot for this nice video

Excellent mate - real life stuff beats perfect pitching everytime. The use of the walking poles is also a stellar idea

When you’re thinking of buying a tent as I am that’s the kind of video you really want to see. How does it perform in adverse conditions. Great job, thanks.

I’m not sure as it is hard to tell from the video, apologies if it’s correct, but it appears the top pole across the width of the tent is the wrong way up. This should always be on top, and would affect the stability of the tent. It’s a very common mistake but according to MSR it’s designed to work better on top. Fair play to you getting out there and doing it though, well done!

Biggest kite I have ever seen 😆😆😆
