It's not often I click a link and say "Holy shit, that is expensive!" out loud, but I just did.Starting to get nervous. Still need to order some bits and pieces like special underwear and gaiters. Probably should get all that done today so it can get here before I leave.
Quite concerned about my tent. It’s starting to show some signs of shrinkage and the fly is too high off the ground to prevent splash back in heavy rain. It also needs some new guy lines and a stuff sack. Would love to replace it with this. But I don’t have the cash right meow.
X-Mid Pro 2
The X-Mid Pro 2 is the pinnacle of ultralight tent design. It combines our maximally weight efficient and stormworthy X-Mid geometry with Dyneema® fabrics to create the world's lightest tent for the size. It weighs just 17.9 oz (509 g) while also providing excellent stormworthyness, simplicity...durstongear.com
Yeah Dyneema tents are stooopid expensive. While they are incredibly lightweight they don’t have a long lifespan if used for thru hiking. The material starts to shrink after a while. I just recently learned this.It's not often I click a link and say "Holy shit, that is expensive!" out loud, but I just did.
But it's half the weight of my swag, and a lot bigger, so the price makes sense.
Yeah as an obese person it was never going to be for me. I planned on doing some overnight bike trips, so I went with small and tough, think mine is Event for the outer layer and the floor has a 10000mm HH.Yeah Dyneema tents are stooopid expensive.

Styrofoam will work in a pinch but it takes a lot and it isn't very throwable with a scoop since its very soupy.
you would much rather enjoy a very pistol, those aids takes a while to fizzle up and is kind of a let down, but a very pistol is essentially a flare gun made for starting fires. The ricochets are very entertainingI would accept one of these but with a 3' barrell and tripod mount for longer range.
