Paul you have a special chemistry and style when doing you vlog and making videos. Always appreciate the effort especially for those of us that can’t get out camping yet.

Well I need AND want that TABLE!!! 😊

Hi Paul, another great one - and good to see you and Andy back out together. I was beginning to think you had fallen out lol 🙂

I have camped near there a few times... last year at about 3am I was awoken by what sounded like a plane coming down.. it was so close that my friend got out of his tent ready to run ( don't know where to ) ..

Probably won't happen, but boiling water that way means if a gust of wind blew the cone and pot over you'd get first degree burns on the inside of one leg. The cones are normally pretty sturdy in most breezes but Ive had one go over in a sudden unexpected gust.

Hi Paul, thanks for another nice video. I am currently using the Xmid Pro 1 in the North part of Sweden (Umeå last, Boden next). It is the one-person tent I had been looking for (some two-person tents I had been using before were also the one-person tent I had been looking for, but this one is so light compared to my previous nylon 2-person tents, it's a 1-to-4 ratio!). It's too small to have all your stuff with you like you would in a 2-person tent, but there is room for the essentials, and the absides are large enough for my oversized backpack (I'm never doing more than two consecutive camping nights but I'm traveling in Sweden for 5 weeks without a base to leave stuff at). There's enough height to use a pee bottle inside, which makes a big difference in the middle of the night when it's raining outside. The Xmid Pro 1 has stood up to the rain very well, and to a bit of wind, but that was already discussed in the video. It is very airy, which contributed to condensation being extremely minor so far: despite the rain on the outside, on the inside there has only been a layer of condensation so thin I never even bothered to wipe it up. You might find it too airy for the sort of places where you camp; if it's windy and cold, you will definitely have to use a few degrees better insulation than what you would have in another tent. The straight zippers have done a good job of keeping the mosquitoes out, they can be opened and closed very quickly; the vertical ones can usually be operated one-handed, the horizontal ones may require two hands. This has been one of the factors that made it acceptable to have my stuff in the absides instead of with me: access without letting mosquitoes in.

Nice to see you out together. I really want one of the Durston XMid2 tents (the 1 is just too tight). But since I only go camping 3 or 4 nights a year it's hard to justify the pennies! Also a shout out to Andy for getting a photo featured in TGO magazine!

There's always room for another tent, I have purchased 2 more, now I am up to 29 tents! Gonna have to look for something special for the 30th

Good to see you back out with Andy. Liking the camper van idea, some friends have been touring Scotland recently, scenery looks stunning! Not quite in my budget yet though I’ll be looking at the Tentbox range and Alpkits’s Lookout roof tent, technically it’s still camping 😂

When you asked Andy about his tent , he looks proper smitten , 😂

The views were great today.

Amen on having a roomy tent. I bought a Southern Cross 2 as a solo tent. I do not begrudge the extra weight as it feels positively palatial for one at the end of a long day, and I get a super comfortable night's sleep.

DCF tents are for long-distance hiking. That's where the weight savings matter. For weekend warriors save your money and carry the extra weight. DCF tents not only cost twice as woven they also last half the time. So 4x the price per use. If you've got money to burn then why not though.

Weight savings is great for thru hiking, but I love a lightweight pack and kit even if I'm just going out for a few miles over a few days. Why should I carry an extra couple of lbs when I have crappy knees or a bad back. My dcf tents are amazing no matter how long or short my trip may be.

How would this tent handle in 50mph wind I wonder? It has a lot of pegging out points, can be pitched low and you wouldn't have to worry abou the poles breaking.

I have this tent, with the DCF floor, and a groundsheet. Gave it a proper test in mid May, in all weather conditions, when I did the Coast to Coast. Genuinely fantastic tent!

Its funny though, i tried this stile Zpacks Dyneema tents. Thing is its terrible in winter conditions. The dyneema is not as strong as they say either, reason is the Dyneema is way to thin. They tend to break en fewer uses than DilNylon tents. Condensation happend when its too rainy, and misty. Its also a problem when you break a pole on the lo g distance hikes. And its not as sturdy at storms either. Super expesive, with shipping and taxes too. Hilleberg does a way better job, but still too expensive and to small for me.

I'd bet Andy's quilt, pad and clothing is no more insulated than Paul's. It's true that the mesh may add a couple of degrees of warmth, but it really doesn't change the insulation and kit you bring when camping in those conditions. I had my dcf tent out this past week and my total pack weight, with food and water was under 18lbs. That included a 20 degree F quilt and insulated pad and sleep thermals. The people with me had packs closer to 30lbs and brought double wall tents and a sleeping liner instead of a sleeping quilt or bag trying to save weight at 9000 feet elevation. They froze. I was a bit too toasty warm in my dcf single wall. A double wall tent at a weight penalty doesn't guarantee a smart and warm kit or camper.

Paul. No noodles no rice no beer no potatoes. Watch your blood sugar

Is it just me, or does DCF sound awful in the wind? Think at that price, I'd go for the Duplex Zip with poles... How's about Good Bloke's "Bonfus Duos" do you like the look of that?
