Thread: SI tents

Ive been in a few different tents now and bought a kuiu mountain star- cant rate it high enough and if you wait until on sale not too badly priced

Not so much concerned ab bout the 230 odd grams saved but was wondering whether the Xmid 1 might be better for ease of camping spots compared to the Xmid 2 you have.
Thoughts?

Get something that stands up when not pegged down which my current tent doesn't and I regret it every time I pitch it on hard ground where I can't get pegs in.

Camping caravan and marine in chch worth a visit
They have good prices on msr tents - 2 person msr free lite 2 $688 down from $999 ATM

Thumbs up for the Macpac Duolight 2P - very impressed with the room, great waterproof floor that doesn’t require extra groundsheet, ease to put up and much, much better ventilation and no condensation issues so far.
Yes I tried lighter tents but decided a bit more weight for a better tent was ok for me

@BratNZ haven’t had to turn down any campsites yet but it will probably be an issue at some point.

There should be lots of gear to view next weekend in ChCh with the outdoor expo being held then.

The Outdoor Expo 8:30am - 5pm, 14th & 15th September, Canterbury Agricultural Park

@stug sorry that question was re the xmid solid.

For some reason it didn’t link it to your post.

@SPEARONZ I haven’t tried, or thought about, not using the poles. I can’t remember if the tie out ropes come off the top of the tent or off the bottom of the “vent flap”.

Yea nice it’s in the wish list. Fly only for summer and inner for Tahr trips makes it pretty versatile.
