I’m a DIE HARD Durston fan! I’ve been pitching my Xmid tents for over 2,000 trail miles and have discovered a few tricks that might help you get that perfect “sage” pitch. #durston #xmid #ultralightbackpacking
With the Pro, I've been doing the alt pitch... zip both sides. Stake out the non-zipper ends first decently tight. That seems to get the zippered corners at a good starting point. Maybe it's how the DCF doesn't stretch as much as the silpoly.
Convinced! I received my new Durston xmid2 pro last week! I let Dan know that it was this video that convinced me to take the plunge. Not only did you make it look super easy, when I got it and pitched it for the first time, thanks to this video, my pitch was almost perfect!
Great idea, showing the position of the 2nd stake. Thank you. I was at Hawk on March 11th this year and I also walked across the GGB from SF! After Hawk, I continued on and did Haypress and then Centennial. Hiked to Sausalito and returned to SF via the ferry.
Fabulous video! That tip about the 2nd corner! 🙌🏻 I think my husband was trying to point that out to me last weekend, but i wasn't listening. 😂 You do a lot of good in the world. I love you, lady!
No. That’s dirt from The last trip. But yes it’s a well used tent, over 1k miles. The only hole I have is from a squirrel but that’s not what you’re seeing lol. I patched that up and that’s on the side walls of bathtub not on the bottom.
