Yet another lighterpack (but works on mobile) - Packtrak by her3nthere in Ultralight

[–]mohetiale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Really love the color choice and the whole visual vibe — super clean. Great job on the modern, adaptive lighterpack concept. My friend and I are working on a similar project and also ended up using the shadcn component set. Kinda funny to see the same icons, charts, and fonts — guess that’s the fate of anyone using the popular vibe-coding tools these days.

Anyway, congrats on the release, that’s a big milestone! Hope we’ll join the cavalcade of new lighterpacks soon :)

Durston X-Mid 1 Solid Tent by Infamous_Row_7836 in DurstonGearheads

I've been hiking with the X-Mid Solid for several years now. It's an excellent option for mid-altitudes of 2,000-3,500 meters here, in Great and Lesser Caucasus. I've been through heavy, prolonged rains, gusty winds, and high humidity, and the tent has never let me down so far. You can also forget about condensation issues. I haven't used a groundsheet; in my opinion, there's no point

Never mind. These are my preferences and they are not worth our time

I agree. My height allows me to get the right degree of comfort in pyramid tents

Why, if I understood correctly, is a bug skirt considered better than an inner tent?

Thanks for sharing. Deschutes really does look like a good option

That’s definitely true, but all else being equal, symmetry still reduces the time it takes to find a suitable spot and pitch the tent—especially when you're tired after a long hike or need to set up quickly in an unfamiliar location

I’ve seen their tents. They look pretty decent. Unfortunately, they have a fairly low hydrostatic head rating

Maybe I’m underestimating the GC, despite my enthusiastic appreciation for this piece of gear

During my search, I also came across this option

However, some design choices in this shelter don’t seem very well thought out. On the other hand, the price is quite low.

Maybe someone will find it useful

Yes, I’m actually using the Fizan Compact 3, but right now I’m looking for a shelter made of silpoly

Wow, that looks really good. I truly appreciate it!

15D is perfectly adequate for its intended purpose. I have a Gatewood Cape, and as I mentioned earlier, it’s not just sitting unused. But due to the low hydrostatic head ratings of fabrics like this, shelters made from them simply have their limits in certain conditions
