The X-Mid Pro 1 is almost here!For the past year

<img src=https://durstongear.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png alt="The X-Mid Pro 1 is almost here!For the past year I've been developing a 1P version of the award winning X-Mid Pro 2 tent. The result is a 1P tent that is remarkably simple, spacious and stormworthy while weighing just 1 lbs!We'll be releasing all the details of this tent on January 23 with orders opening the following day (Jan 24 at 11am Eastern time). The best part is that the tents will ship to customers just 2-3 weeks later. Our first run is a good size but will sell out so we recommend signing up for an email reminder on our website (link in bio).Thanks for your interest and support, Dan___________________________ #thruhike #pacificcresttrail #pct2023 #appalachiantrail #sectionhike #hillwalking #bushwalking #durstongear #xmid #ultralightbackpacking">

Perhaps the perfect pitch?The X-Mid is designed

<img src=https://durstongear.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png alt="Perhaps the perfect pitch?The X-Mid is designed to pitch simply with a rectangular base, a minimum of 4 stakes and no measuring poles, but if yours doesn’t look like this check out the pitching guide on our YouTube channel. The two main things to keep in mind are :1) Get the base staked in an accurate rectangle (not skewed into a diamond)2) Tighten the base firmly before adding the poles.The latter is the most common issue. If you don’t tighten up the base before you add the poles then the poles will pull the tent corners inward to give loose sides and they overextend so you can’t re-tighten the sides easily afterwards.When winter finally ends here in the Canadian Rockies I will do another pitching guide video that goes into more depth on everything.Photo by @cj_holic ___________________ #ultralightbackpacking #thruhike #xmid #durstongear #pacificcresttrail #appalachiantrail #backpacking #hillwalking #sectionhike #tent">
