how does 1.6 psi feel on the boat (when you have no tool to measure?) I,m always scared blowing too much air in the packraft when using my electrical pump... Should it feel rock hard?
@Vildmark2 күн бұрын
The flextail max boat pump has a gauge you can set. Basically, I just fill until I can’t blow anymore in. If you topping up with your lungs you’ll never over inflate and there should be no pressure lines in the packraft

@dangerpudge192212 күн бұрын
Nice review. I've had mine for some time now and it's an interesting bit of gear, but I do view it as sort of an emergency shelter or something I pack in my GHB during warmer seasons here in CO. As with anything, there are pros and cons. It's unusual in that the pros make it great to carry, but the cons can make it impractical to use in some situations vs. other options. You don't have to use the harness to set it up as a shelter, and there's some advantage to omitting it, not least of which is the possibility that the hood will flop open, inside out, and expose you to water ingress or let whatever warmth you manage to escape. All you do to eliminate the harness is to put the trekking pole tip down, put the handle up into the hood area, and use the drawstring for the hood to make a tight seal. This prevents the hood opening from being blown around to expose the opening, which no matter how tightly sealed will leak. The arm holes will open up and funnel the elements directly into the shelter similarly to the hood if you don't take precaution. Tying them or putting a small clip on them when rolled generally prevents this, but it is worth noting. If you don't need a poncho but only want a shelter that's even lighter yet otherwise nearly identical, the Deschutes Tarp resolves both of these issues while also being designed to work with the Serenity Net Tent, and is the direction I've generally gone. To resolve rain protection while on the move, I've taken to keeping a tiny dime-store plastic or mylar poncho in a pocket (usually under 50g) for when a poncho is actually needed, and this means I get a bit of a better shelter. To be fair, the dual-purpose ability of the poncho is nice and does a great job of covering the pack; it's just a bit delicate and more prone to damage which leaves you without shelter, which is probably the more useful function. It's invisible (in green). The guy lines are reflective but the poncho color is absolutely invisible as soon as it starts getting dark so you'd best have a way to mark it before walking away from it in the woods. I see this as a fantastic advantage for my use-case, though I can see how some might find it equally frustrating or of no value, and it will be warmer than the white/gray color one for sure. It's delicate; this is NOT for bushwacking at all. Touching on one of your notes about pulling the guy lines up, most will simply wrap them around the body to tie in front (or clip as you see fit) which draws in the poncho's body to yours making it less of a snag point.

Brexit is just an excuse. All the shipping companies have long since figured it out. £194 vs the £125 listed on their website? Definitely significantly cheaper to to buy direct, especially when buying both, even with having to use a re-shipper and accounting for import dues. I find products from smaller businesses are pretty much always a lot cheaper to import directly than to buy locally.

It's a good tent that can be even better with a few mods. I'll add two extra pegging points to the fly on the vestibule, and I've added two internal guys lines inside the vestibule to reduce the annoying flap. The vent bar is useless, so I've added another guy line to the vent. Now a decent lightweight backpacking tent.
