@twodogstudio2 5 месяцев назад

You inspired me to sleep outside in a tarp and bivy setup on my father in law's land in a pine forest. The sky was very overcast until about 4 AM when the setting moon's light hit my face and woke me up. The views of the moon set over the pines and a pond I was camped next are things I will never forget - and I would not have been out there in the near freezing temperatures and rain without your inspiration!!! all the best.

@davidpippin3460 5 месяцев назад

Dan Durston put tons of research and engineering into his tents. Well worth the money. It also has specific geometric angles to allow snow to always slide off and not collect. I have the same exact tent and love it! Thank you Claire, your smile always makes my day when you drop a video!

@user-wx7wg5cn1m 5 месяцев назад

Wow, you’re a trooper. Shooting and working in inclement weather is so challenging. I’ve worked in TV for a loooooong time and had to endure tornadoes, rainstorms, blizzards, floods, 115 degree summer temps and even been struck by lightning while in my vehicle. You handle it like a pro! Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing.

Dan Durston put a really good pitching guide together for the xmid. So many useful tips on how to pitch correctly in all conditions 😊

@WildBeare 5 месяцев назад

Yes I think I've seen it, if it's on their website, the skinny pitch is pretty useful too :)

@pjbell007 5 месяцев назад

I've only pitched my x-mid 1 solid once, but tightening the corners as tight as a drum before putting in the poles seemed to keep everything nice and tight. Although it was nowhere near as windy and this video 😉

@Anttik_ 5 месяцев назад

@@pjbell007 Yes, you need to tighten the corners well first, that is really the most important thing when pitching this tent. The pitch in this video seemed a bit loose. It should handle the wind better when it is tighter. I'm not sure if the extra guylines in the loops in the ventilation flaps does any help. I think it would be more useful to add the extra guyline to the same loop as the original guyline. Then you could pull the two guylines to different angles and get more support for the poles to all directions.

@macs2015 5 месяцев назад

This was perfect! I’ve long been curious about the strength of these tents but you’re the ONLY RU-vidr who camps in truly strong winds and this was the best wind test on the durston xmid. Thank you so much! Hope to watch you use it a lot more.

@cliffwise 5 месяцев назад

I suggested your videos to people on Quora who are suffering from mental stress and need to get away for awhile. I suggested nature as a low cost high value solution. You have such an appreciation for the simple gifts of being outside in nature. Just watching you, how you move about and deal with problems, lowers stress for us. Cheers, Cliff Wise

@Anonymous0.019 20 часов назад

That's some crazy weather. I admire your passion for backpacking to be out there in that kind of weather throughout the year.

@mikelambrou4462 5 месяцев назад

I’ve had this tent in 60mph gusts (96kph) and it stood up to it. For me it’s the perfect balance of performance, liveability & weight to £'s spent available. It’s really well designed and made, common failure points (tent poles) are negated. The only negative I’ve come across (I’m nit picking now) is the large footprint sometimes can inhibit finding a good pitch - I’ll happily trade that for the interior space it offers. I’ve had MSR and Hillebergs and whilst they are more bomb proof they are cramped and condensation pits in comparison. Unless you regularly camp above the tree line or are an extreme weather adventurer (or don’t use trekking poles) it’s incredibly difficult to justify the 2-300%+ price premium imo. Hats off to Dan Durston, the hype is real!

@WildCamper 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely agree, I have the 2 person and loved it so much went for a 1 person xmid pro to reduce that footprint. Amazing kit

@WildBeare 5 месяцев назад

Wow that is insane!! That's the storm force wind that I want to try it in 😄 Yes I agree about the large footprint, actually the large size in general, it seems more the size of a 2P but with the sleeping area of a 1P. Part of me would like it a smidge lower to be a bit more low profile, as I'm tall in the torso and the headroom is massive. All the space for gear is amazing though of course Some of the winds my Hille has been through I just can't imagine this not being flattened or ripped in half in them but time will tell, sounds like your experience has been great so far :D Thanks for watching 🐻

@mikelambrou4462 5 месяцев назад

@@WildBeare I’m beginning to think you have masochistic tendencies! In reality every tent is a compromise, I guess it’s about working out what’s most important to you, either that or become a tent collector with one for every occasion! Last count I have 8 but Durston is by far my most used, closely followed by the Big Agnes Copper Spur which is a brilliant good weather shelter. If you want to indulge your masochistic side you could try the Copper Spur in a Welsh storm! Bring pole repair sleeves and your drone to search for it in the morning 🤣

@deanrowell2435 5 месяцев назад

@@WildBeare I have the 2P Solid which comes in a darker colour, but even the lighter colour is surprisingly difficult to see at a distance. If you are really concerned, you could drape some of your camo net over it, but I don't think it matters, especially if you are setting up late and taking down early.

@603storm Месяц назад

I recently set up in and went through a night of downpour in my Durstan X-mid 1 pro. I had water get in due to two issues. The water came in from splash back. There were two reason, one was my fault, the other, not so much. After I did the initial pitch I should have went around the tent and tightened the corners a bit more to tightened up the long sides. The other issue had to do with the pole sinking into the ground because it was saturated with water which contributed to the long side collapsing in even more and allowing the splash up. Lesson learned for next time. Great vid.
