Yeah I’ve started carrying in separate bags and pitching outer first but have had the odd moment when I just can’t be bothered with the inner and fall asleep for a quick 10 minutes Power Nap 😁

@@danny.k.87 Thanks Danny at mo out in Majorca on hols with the family but no matter what we will be back on the hikes soon.🤘🏻

@@escapeoutdoors. arrr nice enjoy 😊 atb

@@hamrammr1 that would be Aaron he’s after my spare set it z flip poles

I’ve been so swamped with work I ain’t got time for nothing at the moment. But you have just reminded me cheers. I’ll do that now. Now my boss has just left & yeah i haven’t used the jetboil in a while. Guessing that why it spat (hauk tuhh) at me 🤔

Possibly too close to get all round heat but great idea that’s thinking outside the box or outside the Esbit stove lol 😂 but yeah as with bio ethanol it’s just more of a relaxing chilled session

Yeah pudge I know they have been out a while but I’d never seen anyone using them on other tents so you gotta shove them in and try it out woop woop. I just wanna be able to ditch the hiking poles once in a while & run a trail still knowing I have something lightweight with me to whack a tent up with. Sweeeeet.🤘🏻

Cheers for the comment about the series but it’s an epic trail As for your uncle what a lucky geezer I was out in Cyprus in 1997 loved every minute but nothing ever kicked off just a boring tour spending every Saturday on nissy beach 😎

@@escapeoutdoors. Cool, I think it was the 50s my uncle was there.

@rbreiff73 lol a bit before my time.

Thanks vape will do now

Yeah had to try them out I get frigging nasty planter fasciitis but great for moon landings 😂😂

I think I cut the vid talking about shoving a cap on it 😁 but didn’t think of using a garden cane cap 😂 cheers for that. Like it.

Nice one, definitely better to import, didn't get stung with any import tax on mine (unlike the tent 😅)

Well when import & export are run by government agencies you gotta love them taking there cut 🤬🤬😂

@@bl1455if you import anything from Canada to UK and it’s less than £135 you don’t have to pay customs duty. Anything bought from Durston directly is shipped from Canada. Bought footprint and these poles from Durston directly and I paid no import charges.

🤔you just made me check on that. Maybe he brought the mummy because it was £20 cheaper and did he show the regular 🧐 only honest reviews from myself I love the mat and would take it over my Thermarest Neo air although it does have a bigger size when it is packed up. Check out our 3 day treck on the Cotswold way this was our test of the mat over 3 nights.

@@escapeoutdoors. yeah it’s a little cheaper but a great alternative to a Thermorest or S to S…tbh the Thermorests are never worth the premium..I’m gonna buy the mummy version think it packs that bit smaller.. oh he did say it slid about a bit in the tent.

Oh another thing would you recommend the durston? I’m gonna plump for the 1 solid…is the tax a lot when shipping?

@@alastairjones7359 yes I do agree with that if your tent is not on the flat then you will slide but on a flat it’s perfect 👌

@alastairjones7359 woooo don’t bother with importing like I did try finding them in the UK I imported the Durston P1 & the P2 it cost me just in import fees & taxes £180 really not worth it and in my opinion I would go for seirra designs these were the OG of this type of tent and after trying both tents out yeah there ok for hiking but I would still go for the Lanshan 1/2.

@@alangauld6079 so what’s your overall feeling on it. I had mine out today try staking the two extra guy lines on each side together. This is what I did. Still a cool tent for them long distance trails.

@@escapeoutdoors. My initial reaction was just that it's huge! I normally buy a 2 man because I like some space to spread out but, having seen this, I think I should have got the Xmid1 because it would have been enough. And finding space to pitch it might be difficult - certainly, on my last trip to the Cairngorms, I struggled to find room for my old Vango, I'm not sure how I'd have got the Durston down! But I love the different pitch options and the double vestibules and it's half the weight of my Vango. I'm using Durston's poles rather than trekking poles because I'll tend to use it as a base-camp and need the trekkers during the day. I'm really impressed with the poles, so light and pack really small. My next camping trip will be to Knoydart in late August, I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes in the wild. but I'm also aiming to do the WHW in the winter so will be using it with trekking poles for that.

Sorry I didn’t see this I agree it seems like every tent maker takes a little from others & I have had my eye on the Kuiu for a long time. But when you look at makers like Nature hike they all have the same design at a much cheaper price I’m not saying there better but it does make you 🤔 think.

Yeah you may have to put a few more guys in it as it only comes with 2. You will understand why especially in wind it’s not the best but still a great trekking tent with loads of space

Upgrades added ruclips.net/video/Q8nt6ttNowI/видео.html this will give a better insight

@@RJ-oo3vf I understand that or even waterproof zippers but for the price you can’t knock it. I have a chest rig too but like the convenience of having this style to.

@@escapeoutdoors. where I live they don't sell the Ribz so I had to order it from France and the price including shipping was €100. Maybe you got it for a lower price but that's what I had to pay for it.

@RJ-oo3vf I ordered from the US to come to the UK was very surprised it came in a week maybe mine came from France too ? 🤔

@@escapeoutdoors. If it would come from France you'll get a notification in French just like I did. 😀

@RJ-oo3vf 😂😂

@@320roj so glad you enjoyed it it was an amazing trip I just wanna do it again &I can promise you when you get to Robin hoods bay you will wanna turn round and walk it back. If you could please share the playlist I want people to do this amazing trail it was so memorable 👍👌🤘🏻

@@danielkitts9685 Did you start making a vid on that 🤔. I watched someone who did that & I was completely gutted for them. If it was you I feel for ya. How long did it take for you to hike back.

@escapeoutdoors. I didn't make a video, this only happened last week I'm still healing at home, once fully healed I'm heading back up there to start again

Cheers for the first comment much appreciated grew up with Hitchcock As for memories this is why I video as my Nan had Alzheimer’s so yeah it gives the kids something to look back on that I may remember too. Now let’s talk sierra designs I think Aaron likes it but I shouldn’t talk for him in my opinion it seems a lot better than the Durston Xmid 1. The gap between the outer & inner fly seems a lot larger. So when I got the Durston I tried it out with no mods just the guy lines they give you. Hence problems. On a previous vid the rain & condensation stuck both the outer & inner together the way to combat that was to lower the inner but in stronger winds it wouldn’t be the best. And I don’t want to give a false impression on the tent.

That’s the first time I’ve used the Sierra Designs in anger and I was impressed. Loads of room, I’m 6ft 2” and had plenty of head room too. It dealt with the wind and rain with ease and the fly and inner have a huge gap so no worries about condensation ruining things. You also have decent enough room in the porch to cook whilst sheltered from the elements. It’s my go to one man tent now year round.

@@aarongray635 what you could fit that head of hair in there too 🤔🤯

@@escapeoutdoors.😂

Now I have had problems in the rain and it’s this tent where the outer fly touches the inner. I actually wish I brought the Lanshan 2 over the Durston. At roughly the same weight. But you gotta do your research 🧐

@@Phil_adventures gotta have that stretch off while waiting for the youngster 😂

@@escapeoutdoors. 😂😂😂

You know I’ll side with you on that. My opinion I wish I stayed with the Lanshan 2 as far as I’m concerned that’s a better tent than the Durston p2 if you put price in the fix too.

@@escapeoutdoors.interesting, I have the 1p solid and it’s a great wee tent but I can’t think why it can’t come with a 2 way zipper. As for the Lanshan, I’m not totally convinced. A fair weather tent at best, but like you said, a better deal when you consider costs.

Just add a zipper slider above the zipper near to the top then you can vent the top half

@@Shan-outnabout cool idea 💡 👍

@@cuprajake1 yeah totally agree like I said in the vid this tent has been boosted by bullshit RUclipsrs and I definitely don’t think it’s the best.

Oh cheers thanks for the comment. Yeah I’m not a big channel but for me and Aaron that comes on the long hikes we’re all up for giving the truth to others and when we can the odd review.

Sorry bother too much coffee😆🤜🏼🤛🏻

Ah glad you agree 👍

Cool I’ll have a watch of the Cleveland way now

Thanks, really appreciate it.

Yeah I understand why now. This tent isn’t the amazing tent all the RUclipsers make it out to be.

@@escapeoutdoors. I’ve used it trekking in Sweden for a fortnight, around the highlands on various multi day treks and on the TGO Challenge for 10 nights. Easy to pitch. Light to carry and the vestibules are great for handling kit and cooking. Previously had a couple of lightweight tents but, at 70, headroom is an issue. Each to their own. I wouldn’t buy the DCF version and the 2p has a huge footprint so I only want it for when the dog comes along.

@@richardanderson9340 it’s funny you should say that I love my gossamer gear one. For exactly the same reasons

When it’s that cheap why not everything you see in our stores in the UK is from china anyway. But as I have said buyer beware do your homework on the best seller’s👍

Well I imported both the P1 &. The P2 and it came to £180 in import tax…. Yes a hearty amount

@escapeoutdoors. I'll ask if they can put birthday gift on the package, but i doubt they'll do it.

Yeah I thought of that after I pulled the trigger. You never know

Thank you. Much appreciated. 👍

yeah sorry brother i forgot my mic that day. but cheers for the Feed back.🤟

@@escapeoutdoors. for sure no worries. I just wanted to point it out in case that was your normal setup. Take care

I’ll be on it like white on rice 👍👍👍👍👍

@@escapeoutdoors. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for your video really appreciate it 👍

@@steveoutdoors6522 my pleasure

I have both the X-Mid 1 and 2 Solid, I took the two-person on the Coast to Coast last year, the problem I had was the larger footprint in finding wild camping spots. Once it was up though it's a large amount of room to organise yourself and kit. The ability to roll the fly completely up cylindrically from one corner to the other, making a starlight tent for those hot nights and the ability to be able to quickly unroll to cover up if the weather changes is superb. For maximum upgrade points, I recommend a tiny carabiner and 6" of cord on the grab handle of your Bergen tied round the mud basket on your pole to suspend your Bergen off the ground and maximise air flow, thus reducing condensation through the tent. I like to get my X Mids taut before I use the ridge guylines. Using the guylines to tighten your tent is in my opinion wrong as it should be tensioned through all four corners and poles to be bass drum tight before you pull out on the guylines Which I only use once it gets over 25 mph gusts. For Guylines I have replaced with Lawson Ironwire as the originals are reflective and I carry two additional with a tactical toggle from henge hammocks for quick threading and tensioning. I have added Six 6" 3mm bungee loops larks-headed too the four base loops for pegs and two to the mid panel tie outs for inclement weather☁️☁️☁️ The toggles help with going to porch-mode (door with guyline to peg to make a larger admin area) for easier cooking as I have had a clumsy moment when I poured a pot of boiling water on my genitalia and dried it by firing a lit gas burner at my crutch simultaneously!

@@VapourTrailz Now that's a write up. Your gonna be making me spend some cashola ill have a look into henge hammocks and ill try getting on parade for 6 & 10s dropping your channel in the mix. but i wont mention the boiling water on the Genitalia. To be honest I'm a little pissed with Durston as they cant be bothered to give you more guy lines a little disappointing but none the less upgrades must begin. Cheers Sweetfart good info at the right time.

The toggles should see you change from a fiver, the lawson iron wire was dear (£30ish) and only available in longgg lengths from hennie haynes tho' Try the easton 9" nails x6 and the sierra designs fl stakes x 4 for pegs +1 using your poo trowel in emergencies?

Yeah it’s a great tent and that’s a hearty trail so all hearts out to you and happy hiking also have a good one and keep safe. We are half way through the Pennine way and loving it but we have to section hike it do to work a bit of a bummer but what a trail.

Ah nice info as well I be taking a look cheers brother . Thank you.🙏

Oh brilliant which one do you have as I brought the 1p & 2p just don’t know which one I prefer

@@escapeoutdoors. I have the 1p solid, I know a lot of people prefer the added space of the 2p but I don't mind a snug fit. I recommend putting tie outs with shock cord sections on the sides to pull the fly out and keep it taught on an uneven pitch

@bl1455 yeah I found that out with the condensation the outer was touching the inner fly

@@escapeoutdoors. TBF I haven't had much of a condensation issue with it in various conditions dry and wet. I don't stake all the edge points down so even with the doors closed there is through flowing air up at the top vents and under the fly sheet

@@bl1455 I’ve only had condensation with the 2p not the 1p but that was probably down to conditions

Yeah I haven’t been out in the rain with it too. But can only assume a separate tarp may be needed just incase I still rate it though for a good night out under the stars.

Haha cheers I do keep he old man on his toes 😂😆

We will be finishing the penine way at some point this year lol.

😮nobody has ever done that. Thank you so much it’s extremely appreciated.

From phil🤨 very politely (shocks) headphones 😆

Hahaha it becomes background noise after a while

@@aarongray635 😳 WTH

Thanks mate . Thank you.

Our pleasure possible the hardest trail in the small amount of time we had. But still an awesome trail.

Yeah we find it hard to travel up and do a stage when that bloody thing called work gets in the way just looking forward to getting into Keld. I’ll feel like I’m on home turf then just because of the C2C

That’s much appreciated thank you. I believe a video should not just be about yourself but your surroundings and the people your with. Oh and I like to make my on transitions it makes editing more fun & annoying at the same time 😆

Ah thanks. But Phil dropped my bloody knitting needles 31miles in never have I been so upset. So I put stinger nettles in his boots 😂😆

This is of a trail they call the WOLF RUN

Cheers the write up made me laugh and yes your right I watched haze outdoors and kinda got the feeling it was about him too. Ours was a chance meeting Aaron & myself since the C2c we have been just going out and enjoying the trails we just finished the Cotswold trail and really hope the vids come out the same or though it was a 102 miles Aaron had us do it in 3 days but I think the quality will be ok this was the worst hike I have done so far just because of time. Oh & yes 2 Royal Anglian
