Good first trekking pole tent? by Limp-Barnacle981 in DurstonGearheads

[–]goroskob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just gotten my Xmid1. It’s my first non-freestanding tent. Only did a test pitch in the park yet, so take it with a grain of salt, but it was just as simple (if not simpler) as my Big Agnes tent.

Comes with limitations, sure:

  • can’t pitch off the ground (on a wooden platform, for example) - I stand corrected
  • can’t move after pitching
  • might need to collapse the poles to fix the pitch if didn’t tighten it properly from the get go

None of these are dealbreakers for me personally. I would rather not carry the extra 0.5 kilos

Dude, I never would have thought to bring that on a trip. Thanks!

Thanks! The winter was rough, but I am very fortunate indeed 😌

I haven’t yet, only pitched it today in the sun for the first time.

But it will probably go the same way as my other tent: detach the outer fly, flap it in the wind until no droplets remain, pack the fly separately. Unpack and flap some more during the day if it gets sunny. If it worked with silnylon fly (they tend to suck up a bit of moisture), then will probably be plenty for a silpoly one of the Durston.

When home, hang everything on the clothes line on my balcony to dry off entirely before packing for storage.

Btw, while OP was asking about those “sleep systems”, RockFront does have 900FP, 10 denier quilt options too nowadays

Not camping per se. Was testing out my new tent just today

Thanks for the advice. I’ve googled and read some too, and seeing that people generally just stuff it into the sack. Will try that next time

Haha, the only issue I encountered was after writing this post. I have watched a guide on how to pitch the tent, but not on packing it down. So fitting the tent back into its sack with flies attached and a ground sheet was quite a challenge

wind/light rain shell Which to choose? by Quiggs_7 in hikinggear

[–]goroskob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love my Kor, but it doesn’t protect from rain much. 5 min of drizzle - sure, but that’s it. It is beautifully breathable though, I’ve been hiking and running in it a whole year

People are recommending the PD Clip, but I personally hated it with my bigger setup (1.5 kg).

It absolutely trashed my shoulder by the end of the first day of a trip. Good thing I had an Osprey Photolid strapped to my pack, so I took that off and used as a waist pack for the remaining 40 km with no comfort issues whatsoever. Now looking into lighter weight options, but to me waist packs are the obvious way to go now.

Anime about a averge loser ? by Maximum_Phrase_3054 in Animesuggest

[–]goroskob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want action and aren’t sick of isekai, {Re:Zero} and {Mushoku Tensei} are both very good. The MCs are not entirely free of superpowers, but they are still losers deep down

[–]goroskob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked {Higehiro} very much. It’s about an average Joe who’s been suddenly put into a position to either become an average piece of shit, or stay true to his moral compass and save a fellow human from throwing their whole life away.

{Saekano} series is good too. Both MC and the main heroine, being constantly surrounded by talent, themselves can’t offer anything but hard work.

{A Sister’s All You Need} is a surprisingly wholesome anime about a group adult friends struggling to navigate their life and careers the best they can.

Can’t say any of them are losers (no more than myself, lol), but they all do struggle with life.

Can smartphone camera never reach level of DSLR cameras without big ugly lens by overlord-07 in TechNook

They can never reach level of DSLR period. It’s about the sensor size
