I had high hopes for this video, especially considering the enticing thumbnail. I anticipated a thorough revisit of the tent, complete with physical demonstrations of the issues you've encountered. After all, it was your original video on the tent that led me to purchase the X-mid 2, which has quickly become my favorite tent. While I acknowledge the large footprint and learning curve in pitching the tent, the overall tone and message of the first 10 min of this video seem somewhat off-putting. 😬

First thing that's said is "It's a single wall tent" The regular double wall Xmid; "Am I a joke to you?"

@diversie509 7 месяцев назад

Right? Like the regular tent is double walled with excellent room between the mesh and fly. I also don't know how so many people have trouble getting it up with 4 stakes. Its also insanely cheap for the regular version compared to anything comparable lol. But everybody has their own gripes with different things I suppose.

@ryan92084 7 месяцев назад

yep both the single wall and expense complaints are gone by going with the standard xmid over the pro. Also DCF fly is in development as we speak for those that absolutely need DCF in their life. Most of the rest are lack of experience/skinny pitch knowledge and them just being tall.

@spicymayo3191 4 месяца назад

What defines single wall or double wall? Is it a minimum amount of space between the two walls or mesh and wall? Because many “single wall” tents have mesh and a fly as well. Many of which the mesh and fly don’t touch each other at all.

I am about travel for backpacking in CO. I would love to see you produce a video breakdown regarding carry on, check back vs buy at your destination, when traveling to go backpacking. The previous packing videos you have produced have been great and really helped me prepare to best of my ability for local trips. You have travelled to so many destinations and I am sure there are a lot of lessons learned you could pass on. Just a future request 😉!

Clickbaiting your viewers then bashing Durston because the tent is single-walled and has short guylines when the tent is advertised as single-walled and ships with 50ft of extra coordage tells you the level of experience and professionalism in that vehicle.

Nice to see Dan and Eric together! It’s concerning to me that you’re using more of a clickbait title than usual. Are times tough over there? I don’t agree with your xmid critique at all, it felt really forced, willfully ignorant, and trying to spark a reaction in the comments. You succeeded on that last point, but also succeeded in disappointing me. Don’t make a habit of this. I hope you guys have some fun adventures that you share soon. Best wishes.

@natedill 7 месяцев назад

Yep thank you for saying this. The Xmid is exceedingly easy to set up compared to almost any other tent I've seen either set up. Only well pitched on even ground? By what metric does that make sense. Its literally pulled taut with adjustable height poles and adjustable lines. Also pick better spots if you are having an issue. Oh golly jee a single wall tent has more condensation?? Who would have thunk it.

@lesley1484 7 месяцев назад

LOL! To each their own, my dudes. I love my X-Mid 2P! I sleep on the diagonal and let my dog and gear have the low corners. After two years of steady use, it has served me well.

@MrDanAng1 7 месяцев назад

I don't have the Pro version, so I don't recognise a few of the problems they talk about. It have excellent moisture management (although no tent will ever be completely dry every night) and easy to pitch tight. But of course, no tent is perfect, every tent has it's trade offs. Hands down, my Durston tent is the best tent I have owned, for it's weight and for winter camping! In all other areas, I have tents that is comparable. But it's still an excellent tent in most circumstances.

@alpineearth 7 месяцев назад

alrighty. I can't help but be a little offended for Dan and all of us Canadians. All joking aside, a lot of these issues are the same for EVERY single wall tent. This was designed to work in the bad weather conditions in the Canadian Rockies and is likely the only Dynema Trekking Pole tent that will stand up to our crazy weather. It is why the X-mid is my go to but I am willing to change my mind if I ever find a better one. Do you guys know of a better and cheaper trekking pole Dyneema tent that stands up to wind just as well? Come out here and I will take you on a trip so we can test it out :)

@ronniepridemore8008 7 месяцев назад

So…what I’m hearing is you all don’t like one-person single wall tents. Only seemingly valid complaint is the footprint. Otherwise it seems a little directly targeted on Durston when what you all are really saying is you prefer to use a double-wall, 1.5/2 person tent and not worry about the weight savings the X-mid pro provides. What other ultralight single-wall one person tent do you find to be better? (Ps TOTAL CLICK-BAIT TITLE 🤣)

@907-q7u 7 месяцев назад

Nah, none of the complaints were even remotely valid. Becker owns/owned the Pro 2, he could have had Emmitt draw an outline of the footprint based on the measurements Durston provided on the website and realized it wasn't going to work out before making the Pro 1 purchase, but instead, he bought the Pro 1, used it to boost his channel, gained ad revenue then bashed the tent he helped promote. "Yeah, I'm trying to be nice, right now." then Becker immediately cuts away for an upbeat ad commercial for OnX to edit the rant. 😂

Influencers can do a lot of damage to companies by their words. The title and the feel of this was uncalled for, and simply put, just rude.

Good discussion gentlemen. I have the XMid Pro 2 (original version) and for me it is great solo tent. There are a few quirks with it and I do find my ZPacks Atlaplex easier and faster to set up, I use the ZPacks when I know my sites could be tight for space, but the Xmid has more room. Both companies make excellent tents and it comes down to what you like and need.

There is word of a DCF double wall version coming out soon. IDK why they didn't start with that. I know they're part of the whole grams race, but an even lighter version of their ridiculously popular double wall design, also giving option to put up or even take JUST the DCF fly without the inner. it would be so much more versatile. but again hopefully going to be one soon!!!!

I’d go to Wisconsin to backpack with you haha. I’m west of you in central MN, so you’re not far from me. I’m getting ready to start a backpacking/outdoor channel this year.

I would like to see a video on how to protect food in a lightweight manner when bears aren't a factor. How do you keep the trash pandas away without a $100 bear canister?

I don't like any of the true single wall tents due to condensation. I like the standard X-Mid 2, I like having the inner component... it's a touch warmer too ... less wind. I'm a big fan 😊

Water filters: I am usually backpacking with one or more other folks and I use the Gravityworks "dirty" and "clean" bag system but replaced the actual filter with the Sawyer. The bags are great as you said you just take the bag to the river/lake and scoop the water and then take back to the camp. We always have an abundance of water which is great for cooking, washing up etc and can fill all of our Smartwater bottles in one go. The sawyer filter with the syringe rarely clogs unlike the Gravityworks one.

Love these kinds of conversations! Feels like a conversation me and my buddies would have on the way home from Flagstaff after a hike or campout! Always good to see Eric in your videos.

Dan, it's good to see you out and about, and Eric doesn't have to wear an orange jump suit and tracking bracelet lol!

Going to look into that mystery ranch backpack, my husband and I carry heavy packs because we backpack with a 6 yr old and a dog, our packs can weigh anywhere from 35 lbs to 55lbs, my husband usually carries the heavier one, extra support for that weight would be good!

I'm three minutes in and i'm already wondering, did dan not wanna sponser them? Also, my mission is to convince people to stay home...and not go out...those waterfalls and scenic overlooks just aren't worth it...

You two guys have the best backpacking, hiking, and camping videos period! I always enjoy videos from these guys!

I love gear. I would love to have bunches of it... just to have and look at. I would love to have this tent. However, I'm practical. My 2p Copper Spur serves me well. As I age, I don't really do bunches of miles. Comfort, ease of use, and reliability rule my choices. Weight not really a big issue for me. Thanks for the share! 👴 Gotta have my inflatable lumin??? light. Had it for years and still going strong.
