  • Hello all. Thanks for visiting my channel.
    Follow me in this video and have a look at my new tent (Durston X-Mid 2 Solid) and also enjoy the sites of the peak district and the beautiful sunset.
    This video is a little different from usual, as I won't have voice audio, but instead it will be subtitled. I hope you enjoy this relaxing style.
    I enjoyed my outing and also the morning plunged in the waterfall. The tent was very sturdy and durable and I am looking forward to more adventures with it.

    Hi, my tip is to undo the snap clips by the zips because,when you step through to try to extend the pole, you catch the clip and rip it out….. guess how I know? What a great first pitch.

    Just subbed Chris, nice watch 👍. i can see you are making an effort to stay lightweight so here's a recommendation . That reflective mat you are using is what i used for a few years but Wild Sky do a lighter more robust one thats well worth buying and its a bit more robust and packs well too 😉

      Ohh thank you 🤩 the one I am using looks like it might be getting worn. It is such a good idea to have one but having something more robust sounds good. I will definitely check the Wild Sky one out. Thank you ☺️

    Nice tent! How long was the delivery from Canada?

    • @chrisdruryno1
      @chrisdruryno1  16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey! It took about 9 days I think. Not long at all. It get’s held up at customs for a couple days before Royal Mail gets it. So it is pretty sharpish. Well worth the cost of tax and customs and delivery. Around £400 total

    Did you know staring at the sun especially at sundown is good for you. The Durston site says their tents are 'storm worthy'. Are they?
    Thinking of getting one.
    How long did it take for yours to arrive?

      Hey buddy. I remember hearing something about starting at the sun at sunset…or slightly just off centre. Joseph Campbell Archives Lecture said something about it 😅 I will have to do some research.
      And yes…storm worthy indeed. I have a MSR Hubba Hubba NX and it is so much more sturdier. Honestly it’s great in the wind and very waterproof too. A better tent In Comparison. Only difference is the pitch choice. You need to make good choices to pitch. A freestanding tent is much easier to pitch and set. The Durston does need flat ground for the tent to pitch correctly and effectively…otherwise one side may be close to the floor and the other too high. This can cause consensation issues. The trick is to loosen off all guides at the first stage so when lifted with the poles, you have gaps for airflow under the tent. Saying that, inside, you are very protected against wind and cold 👌
      Go get one. Took about week and half to get mine and well worth the wait. For British weather it’s really quite amazing
