Customer Review for MSR Ground Hog Stake Kit:

“Simply the best tent stake on the market today. I’ve been a Scoutmaster for 23 years and have gone through dozens of different designs of tent stakes looking for the most perfect one out there: this is it. They can be bought for about $2 ea. If you look around you can find cheaper copies sold in different colors but unless you’re buying them by the hundred as I am, it’s not worth the search. The three sided design grabs the soil, placed sideways it hold in sand and snow. The anodized aluminum is very lightweight but drives into the hardest ground. …and the lifetime warranty means you’ll never have to pay for a tent stake ever again!”

“by far, the best alum tent stakes I’ve ever owned. The tri-leg design is the extra reinforcement it needs (which many don’t have) to drive into just about any type soil. The only upgrade I can think of would be to go with the same design in titanium… which I have, but now that I’ve got these, I don’t think the strength improvement and minor weight savings justifies the excessive cost of the titanium variety. Definitely a great product.”

Customer reviews for MSR Hubba Tent: 1-Person 3-Season :

“I spent several weeks researching one-person tents and found the lightest and most affordable to be the MSR Hubba, Sierra Design’s Lightning XT1, Eureka’s Back Country 1 and the ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr 1. Both the Zephyr and Back Country were relatively inexpensive ($100-130), both were large for a solo tent (23-24 sq ft each), and both weighed approx 4 pounds. The Eureka is very popular judging from the ample positive online reviews, but I didn’t like the fly designs of either of these tents. The ALPS has a top triangle that purportedly catches water and the Eureka’s barely extends past the door.

On to the Hubba and Lightning. Both were similar prices ($200-250) and had similar space (Hubba – 17 and Lightning – 19 sq ft). Both weighed in at 3 lbs 6 ozs but the Lightning’s width at 32″ seemed more friendly than MSR’s 26″. The Hubba is the most popular of the two but there were a few reviewers who gave a thumbs down on the narrow width. Unfortunately, I found almost no reviews for the Lightning.

In the end I went with the Hubba because of it’s sleek design. The first time I set it up I was surprised at how tall and wide it was. Inside it felt big, much bigger than I had expected. The length is ample at 86″ (the Lightning is 82″) and the way the top crosspole opens the ceiling as wide as the bottom provides very comfortable head space. The bath tub floor comes up higher mid-tent so if you like to sleep on your side, it will expand with a fully bent knee. This tent, which is made in Taiwan, is well-constructed from seams to poles and feather light stakes. Set up is fast and easy. The short poles at either end are permanently attached to a hub as is the crosspole, but despite the fact that there is essentially only one pole the Hubba is solid even without staking. Plus, there are loops at the corners of the square ceiling where you could attach an attic.

A plus for me is the fly’s yellow color. After the sun goes down, the yellow catches the waning light and puts it on the page of my book or notebook, a BIG help for someone who likes to read or write before turning in. I am so happy with this tent!”

MSR Hubba Hubba HP 2-Person Tent

The Hubba Hubba HP takes the world’s best-selling “fast and light” tent of all time to a whole new level of utility. Mountain Safety Research (MSR) started by adding greater coverage to the tent canopy, and then updated the design with lighter all-around fabrics. And less mesh and more fabric in the tent body means more protection for alpine environments, as well as for the chilly spring and fall seasons. The Hubba Hubba HP is also extremely livable, with a unique pole configuration that provides maximum interior space, two stay-dry entrances, and two large vestibules for gear storage and food prep. Campers can even use the Hubba Hubba HP as a combination freestanding tarp/shelter when paired with the optional footprint (sold separately).

The Hubba Hubba HP offers 2 side vestibules for gear storage or food prep.

Also equipped with an all-in-one hub-and-swivel pole design that’s stronger than ever, the Hubba Hubba HP measures 46.5 square feet total (including vestibules) and weighs a minimum of 3 pounds 11 ounces. As with all MSR tents, the Hubba Hubba HP carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Customer reviews for MSR Hubba Hubba HP 2-Person Tent :

“The HP version of the Hubba Hubba tent offers increased protection for cooler, windy nights, yet weighs less than the original. The freestanding structure is a snap to set up, and offers a very comfortable haven for 2 adults. The features include 2 doors and 2 vestibules which is great for gear storage and late night exits when nature calls. The handy gear loft helps keep the interior clutter free. Overall this is a very comfortable,lightweight, liveable backpacking tent suitable for all but the worst winter conditions.”
