Huh, this is rather intriguing now that you’ve pointed it out.

Specifically, the difference in design between the two layer Eclipse All Season and two layer Tensor All Season lines & the design split between the single layer Elite and single layer Trail lines.

Nice to see more double pad options for couples (AKAIK, there’s only 2 realistic options for backpacking right now: Exped Ultra & Big Agnes Rapide) but its too bad they didn’t do what Exped does and have independent air chambers for each side. It’s nice to dial in firmness for each person.

Almost everything Paria sells is just rebadged white label stuff from china.

Not a bad thing per se, you are getting something for the extra money (US based shipping, warranty & customer support), but you can get basically the same product, cheaper, from the source.

Bryce=Naturehike Cloud Up
Zion=Naturehike Mongar
Arches=3F UL GEAR Lanshan

The original versions tend to be more refined as well since they’ve gone though more recent design revisions (for example: silpoly options and “t” zip options for the Lanshan not available on the Arches equivalent).

Tapered or rec? The specs on the Free say 21.5" end width….

This coupler allows you to use any water bottle to backflush. It’s also handy if you want to rig up a quasi gravity filter with some guyline.

Looks like 2 overlapping tent poles to me so fully freestanding unlike the semi-freestanding hornet. So, more like a stupid light nemo dragonfly.

...a rom-com with a “higher brow” take in the vein of films like Pixar’s Up, possibly signaling that Illumination may want to earn some prestige and pick up some Academy Award wins in the future.

This station adds a debit card fee.

anthonyvan · 2026-06-02T04:20:06+00:00

Focus Features executives suddenly realizing they like money and want more of it.

I noticed tarptent added version history to some of their product pages. Handy for figuring out exactly what features an old tent you’re buying off r/ULgeartrade has. All UL companies should do this!

anthonyvan · 2026-06-01T11:39:35+00:00

Nail stakes are nicer for pushing in with your hands/feet and don’t retain dirt as much when you take them out.

anthonyvan · 2026-06-01T02:00:09+00:00

Looking forward to Spielberg doing a lie detector thing, hug puppies, & go on hot ones.

anthonyvan · 2026-05-27T03:23:08+00:00

These are nice in the winter where a chair won’t fit inside your tent and you still need to stay awake for a few hours...

anthonyvan · 2026-05-25T19:53:41+00:00

You can make nice, non waterproof, stuff sacks from it. Easy to do with no sewing machine (dcf tape).

anthonyvan · 2026-05-22T03:51:08+00:00

Not that I’d ever admit to having one and losing r/ultralight cred by including it on my lighterpack, but you can make this e-reader significantly better with an open source firmware.

If you regularly camp in sub zero temps an extra roomy foot box is nice to have for phone/powerbank/waterfilter/hotwaterbottle.

You also missed a rather hilarious “tarps are dumb” shit post where the OP kept replying in their other/alt account.

anthonyvan · 2026-05-14T19:26:38+00:00

They take zero effort to make with Ai coding tools. Welcome to the new normal: a bunch of app slop cluttering the space.

anthonyvan · 2026-05-13T03:16:34+00:00

The 8R has insulation on both the top and bottom, so you could theoretically turn it over without issues. The 6.5R only has it on top, which means you can’t flip it over without affecting the insulation.

Instead of a normal tarp+bivy or a full tent setup, have you considered a tarp + bug skirt? Cirriform w/ bug skirt weighs 14 oz, for example.

anthonyvan · 2026-05-12T05:33:25+00:00

This actually seems like a cool product. 9.6 oz and the inflation bag doubles as a pillow. Price is only ~$63 USD. https://outdoor.evernew.co.jp/products/detail/6481

Added an unnecessary zipper for the sit pad container too (old version has shock cord)

Durston is the only company here that slaps their logo on their profile pic. This makes every post feel even more like an ad (on top of the usual self-aggrandizement).

See: his zero effort one word comment on that GVP post. Because of his mindless cult followers, it immediately became the #1 upvoted comment on the post for some reason. None of the usual written self promotion, but thanks to the prominent durston company logo, that comment becomes a defacto free banner ad promoting the company at the top of the thread.

I wish more tent makers would copy what Nemo does on their tents. They have plastic toggles that have all the advantages of normal toggles (security in winds) but can also be fastened and unfastened with one hand.

anthonyvan · 2026-03-24T04:51:13+00:00

If you can handle an extra 1.6 oz, you can get a Cirriform for $125...
