  1. Four solo backpacking tents I'm reviewing for @tgomagazine #tents

  2. A new storm, a new struggle…
    The heavy rain is flooding our tents. I quickly grabbed the broom I had to make a sand barrier to protect our tent from being flooded, instead of resting in warmth… We are trying to protect whatever little we have.
    We urgently need your support to help us survive and protect our children and homes in these harsh conditions. 🙏

  3. A fire broke out in the tents of displaced people in Khan Younis; it is very easy for such fires to occur daily throughout the week.

    By me (using my friend’s camera)

  4. My first Durston tent arrived in 2023, but how did I get here?

    None of my other tents I had, were really usable any more. They were either too big or the material has gone bad or in the case of my Nemo Hornet, just disillusioned. I was looking for a new tent and I was reading up a lot about tent materials and designs.

    One day somehow I stumbled on this YT video and it was an interview with q certain Dan Durston 🙂 talking about materials and I was fascinated.
    When I looked at the tents themselves - only X-mid at the time - I was struck by the design and how optimal the floorspace was. That combined with the use of either dyneema or sil-polyester, and the weight; for me it was a done deal. I did compare to a lot of other competitors in the field and nothing had that wow factor.

    Today we own two Durston tents - an X-Mid and an X-Dome. IN both cases we have the solid inner and the fly is sil-polyester. Really glad to have chosen sil-polyester over dyneema, although heavier, just seems to be better in many other aspects than dyneema.

    The short of this story is not that we bought Dan's tents because of hype, but because they are innovative and well engineered.

    I like the X-Mid for its simplicity in pitching and it is the goto for tougher mountain trails. I like the X-Dome for its space.

  5. Both #tents have arrived and I pitched them indoors for a test:

    Decathlon Simond MT900:
    - 199 EUR
    - 1273g packed
    - Almost free standing
    - Very little room

    Naturehike Cloud Up Pro:
    - 140 EUR
    - 1350g packed
    - Free standing
    - More space

    Both measured without ground sheet, which is +200g for Naturehike, the Simond does not come with one.

    The winner is Naturehike!

  6. Another fun thing I stumbled upon while researching #Bikepacking #tents

    Big Sky sends you a fabric sample alongside the tent so that you can test how fast it burns and decide if you want to keep the tent.

  7. Oh boy, #Naturehike's product lineup is confusing. Only the Cloud Up tent has the Cloud Up 20D, Cloud Up 210T, Cloud Up Base, Cloud Up Pro and Cloud Up UL. (All labelled as "ultralight" so that the Cloud Up UL is double ultralight:) Plus dozens of color variants.

    There are inconsistencies, errors, omissions in dimensions and weight on their own website, and it's nearly impossible to know which version third party shops sell, because the names/variants never 100% match.
