@@vvs3796 hi, yeah the Duomid is a great winter tent. It’s surprisingly good in wind but I wouldn’t go out if strong winds were forecast. I’d be happy to use it in winds up to 30mph. To be honest I don’t enjoy camping in strong winds so I just wouldn’t go out in a bad forecast.

Thought you’d been abducted by aliens Steve. Hopefully not too long before your next adventure. I hardly get condensation it any of my shelters. I’m a cold sleeper though. Do you think a gap of a few centimetres under the windward side of the shelter would avoid a back eddy of dead air which can occur on the leeward side of the shelter? It can act as a sort of tumble drier effect which circulates the moisture you breath out. Did you remember your en-suite toilet this time?

@@unclepeteswildadventures hi Pete. Hope you’re well mate. pleased to Report that I remembered the en-suite this time. To be honest I think it was just the conditions that created the condensation. My mate tent was dripping as well. Andy Beavers tents had lots of condensation as well. I think a bigger gap would perhaps have helped but don’t think condensation on that night could have been avoided. All the best mate 👍

Nice vid as always BAWC , glad you said that about the Trail Star because its one i have considered for a few years now but a month ago i ended up settling for the Six Moons Design Luna Solo because even though like you i love the Xmid i am forever trying to lighten my pack weight without compromising comfort and although i have only used the SMLS twice and its rained quite heavily and been fairly strong winds, so far i am a big fan of it and i can see myself using this right up to the winter months. Its very spacious and provides that all important midge protection and stands up very well to the wind and when its wet it sheds a surprising amount of water unlike a lot of Sil Nylon tents due to the fabric treatments ATB
