So much more entertaining than the average WHW videos. I would also highly rate the X-Mid 2 Solid (my birthday present last year), especially for all year usage, that and my son has the X-Mid 1 Solid which I once borrowed - but felt too much like a coffin with the solid sides = the 2 for me.

So enjoyable to share your adventures. I've got the X-mid 2, as I wanted enough space to keep my camera gear inside. It's a wonderful tent and still super light. New Zealand gets its fair share of inclement weather and it has stood up well. The inner can get close to the outer sometimes causing sticking and damp at the top but I found not having the inner too tight at top solves that.

Currently its the only tent I own. Just so easy to pitch and as long as you don't summit camp during a storm it will be fine. It has now been on Cape wrath trail with me and the Skye trail. WHW was my first trail so I had a cheaper, heavier and worse tent then. Also on the Cotswold way I took a camo tarp because I had to stealth camp on that trail and this tent isn't very stealthy lol. That is the only issue for me really, I might get the south downs way done this year and will be taking the tarp again just to be stealthy.
@StephenJReid
@StephenJReid Күн бұрын
How important is stealth on those trails? I’ve seen people doing them with quite visible tents. Could always bring a camo net and chuck it over the tent, although prob weighs as much. I have the tiny Rab ridge raider for stealthy camps but it’s properly tiny

I've always been very sceptical of trekking pole tents but I'm starting to see more and more of them. Especially on long distance hikes.

I'd been looking at the xmid for a cpl years and finally got 1 at the beginning of the year.the weigh saving was my main reason.i got the solid 1p I like how easy it is to pitch and the weight the headroom is great single pitch is also great.i wish the inner was a little wider tho.i don't use a ground sheet so hope the floor is going to be strong enough I like the 2 doors.i got it primarily for summer so wasn't to bothered about the 4 season side my main thing is that it takes a lot bigger space to pitch for not much living space so the foot print is same as most of my 2p tents but that's not a deal breaker.on the whole I'm happy with it.

Well, I always thought sheep say Marrr & Goats say Narrr (means No).😉 Ps, the solution to blisters is wear 2 pairs of socks. The inner pair should be a light weight & slip easily against the tougher outer sock. That way, there is no blister causing stress within the dermis. I do a lot of wet wading while fly fishing & have neoprene socks to fill the space normally occupied by wader booties. Walking overland in neoprene socks will give you blisters in 10 minutes or so. You aren't going to get far like that, but with a sock liner you can go all day & the next and so on. I have never had a blister since adopting this practice some 30+ years ago.

As a bikepacker I'm still looking for more brands to give options for different poles with their tents. Most tents have poles with 35-45cm sections which aren't very packable onto a bicycle, and very few companies offer "bikepacking pole" versions of their tents like Big Sky does. Currently looking at their lineup and they tick a lot of boxes + have freestanding options. Otherwise I'd buy a Durston, but hiking poles take too much space and buying a set of lightweight tent poles is a bit rough.

Enjoyed this one. I have the x-mid 2 solid. I wouldn't say it is true Scottish 4 seasons but definitely 4 season for the glens. The bag is too small and not waterproof so I keep it in a 5 litre dry bag. Wind? It does quite well if battened down and using all the guy points. It is less flappy than my helium 1. Like you, I love my x-mid. Niggles? Large footprint but it is a palace inside. I never get the pitch right if I try it all in one so always pitch fly first and then hang the inner.

Hmmm I might reconsider my ideas to replace my 4 season. Although my 4 season Terra Nova Laser Compact AS isn’t a really solid 4 season either. But then I don’t tend to camp in crazy weather. I wonder if maybe the larger one is tricker to pitch? I’ve never had any real issues even on uneven ground, maybe some small adjustments.

Get a few navigation books mate. I've had the same issues but fortunately If you can read a map properly, take a bearing and triangulate your position, and use a bit of common sense, you're 80% of the way there. Where it gets trickier is when the cloud/mist/fog rolls in and the terrain is quite featureless. Which seems to have been the case the last few times I've gone out, hence the books, I bought like 5 navigation books 😂 been lucky so far but do not wish to tempt fate.

Durston double walled and can be pitched off the ground for extra ventilation so good airflow. It only takes a few seconds for an inner to get completely soaked in rain, happened to me once with an inner pitch tent and I haven’t used one since. Caught in a proper rain storm that lasted for ages. The inner had puddles in it after just a few seconds of rain, wouldn’t have happened with an outer pitch first.

Honestly I would think that was funny and would have been a great icebreaker leading to conversation about the shared history and culture between Ireland and Scotland. Most likely my ancestors were Scottish. Ask me where in England I was from on the other hand.. 😂

Nighttime bro? Exposed area? Leave the tent and drop the shorts. End of. Keep it simple. Sheep do it and don’t feel the need to dig holes. Just a thought. But then I am a dirty mother trucker. Take the lead from our Woolley friends.

Pick up a sheep 💩 in one hand and a human 💩 in the other, have a smell and tell me if you still think they are the same 😂 Human poop carries a lot more nasties than most animals. Cases of norovirus along hiking trails often linked to people not disposing of their poop properly.
