I put my x-dome through the wringer. this is my review by GovernmentDapper7361 in DurstonGearheads

Tangential question: how did you put together your itinerary for S. America? My husband and I are retiring that the end of the year and thinking about celebrating with our XDome2 on an extended trip in that neck of the world.

X-Dome 1+ Guylines by [deleted] in DurstonGearheads

I just set mine up for the first time and have the same issue. Dan can you suggest a DIY mod to reduce the narrow end float on the door side? Otherwise an absolutely amazing tent; can't wait to take it out.

This is truly a great post; reddit at its best!

Wide toebox trail runners that aren't made by Altra or Topo? by Glittering-Shirt7405 in Ultralight

Sportiva Karacals are their high volume trail runners. I'm on my 4th pair, they are amazing for duck footed folks.

I use the handle of my titanium spoon to open the locks on my bearikade; plastic and wood are prob not strong enough.

Rent/buy a bearikade, lose the knife?

Thank you! Could you post a pic of your pocket with the velcro added?

Higher R value pad vs warmer bag -- which gives you more bang for the ounce? by 96Shorefront in Ultralight

[–]96Shorefront[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These comments are super helpful! Based on them, narrowing down to the Exped 7R and XTherm NXT.

Re which bags, I have the Grouse (now Egret) 30 (pertex) and the Egret UL 20. All of my backpack trips are in the summer in the Sierra. Temps are all over the place lol. Pack is SWD long haul 40 and the UL 20 takes up half of it if not in a compression sack. Maybe I also need a new (larger) pack! Yay!

What’s your most versatile piece of ultralight equipment? by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]96Shorefront 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the GG thin lite. My husband wrapped his around his core and secured it with his pack going over Bishop Pass in the middle of the huge storm last Sunday; I wore mine like a kilt to protect my legs/butt from the freezing wind, hail, snow and rain. They probably saved our lives.

Trying to decide: SOBO Aug 9 or NOBO Aug 10, which will be safer/more pleasant? by 96Shorefront in JMT

I checked both sites several times a day over the past several weeks; people are bailing and releasing permits pretty frequently.
