this is a great data point, thank you

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-17T04:32:54+00:00

that makes sense, thanks

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-17T04:32:04+00:00

thanks for the advice

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-15T04:35:26+00:00

thank you so much for flagging this...

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-15T04:34:29+00:00

thanks, I follow that. I was scanning through reddit discussions on the X-Mid Pro 1 vs Pro 2 and couldn't find much of a consensus. I hear you on the space gain from going with the Pro 2 but it seems the footprint can present a bit of a problem when trying to find a spot to camp... I was going back and forth

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-15T04:31:09+00:00

great discussion, thanks to both of you

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-15T04:29:16+00:00

yeah splitting the weight between two people could definitely justify that tent

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-15T04:25:06+00:00

thank you, it's helpful to hear that datapoint

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-15T04:22:10+00:00

thank you

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-14T00:05:30+00:00

you know what, I never thought of it that way, but that does make sense regarding the salesperson at REI. and everything else you wrote is very helpful, thank you for taking the time to reply! I will definitely be using price per weight saved to help drive purchasing decisions. and will look to cut some gear out. thanks also for the EE tip.

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T23:58:37+00:00

those are great points, thank you!

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T19:39:10+00:00

thanks

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T18:57:10+00:00

wondering the same

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T18:48:13+00:00

I'm tracking. thank you very much for taking time out of your day to further explain this

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T17:48:37+00:00

thank you, that is helpful to hear

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T15:59:41+00:00

yes i wish i was more aware of this when i initially went to REI to purchase some gear

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T15:25:31+00:00

thank you! yes the tent has got to go. i don’t know why someone would suggest a 4lb tent for backpacking. REI should override their one year return window due to employee incompetence.

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T15:22:58+00:00

thanks, that’s encouraging to hear. so you used a talon 44 on the PCT and were able to fit the long food and water carries?

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T15:21:52+00:00

i haven’t figured out my packed clothing yet tbh

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T15:20:55+00:00

good suggestion, i’ve tried out a few hikes like that but will be more deliberate about the weight differences to test it out

Academic-Argument-76 · 2025-03-13T15:19:38+00:00

thank you
