I'm disappointed with the Rapide. It is cold and doesn't feel like 4.8R.
@GearGarden 2 сағат бұрын
Interesting! You’re the first person I’ve ever met with that opinion!! What do you prefer?
@ChristoferB Сағат бұрын
@GearGarden Yes I'm wondering if I might have got a duff one or if my expectations of 4.8 was wrong. I have had to revert back to my xTherm which has a higher Rvalue but isn't anywhere near as comfortable. I live in England so I naively thought that the Big Agnes would withstand our mostly mild Winters but alas no. But it's not a complete waste. I'll start using it in April.

@GearGarden that's great to know that it will hold up to use in the weather we typically expect in the uk mountains. Do you feel it is has enough space for you? I am planning on using it with a 26 inch wide pad. Did you purchase the groundsheet with it? Any negatives with the tent?

I have this tent, maybe a year and a half-two years Several hundred miles. I really love everything about it. Pockets are great and I keep my pack and most of my gear inside with me. The only question I have is can you set it up fly first, in the rain. Then clip in the body? I just use tyvek. I have heard you can but it’s really hard with the cross poll on top with the little pockets.

If you want to carry heavier gear the Osprey is more versatile. Light weight packs are great but not as versatile for the average person. I watch these light weight hikers adding bear canisters on their light weight packs and it looks kind of funny and unbalanced. If the light weight back packer used a traditional backpack with his light weight gear it would be really ideal in my opinion.

@@GearGarden I needed a 3 person tent but wanted a tent that fit 3 25" wide pads. I would have to buy a Copper Spur 4 person tent. MSR has a redesigned Hubba Hubba 3 person tent that will fit 3 25" wide pads but it's $650. Ended up buying an REI half dome 3 person for $240 plus it comes with a footprint. It's a little over 5 lbs. without the footprint, so splitting it 3 ways makes it kinda ultralight.

Nice cook kit but as you said individuals like individual things. My two you would not care for. The Evernew Titanium Appalachia kit with an Evernew titanium alcohol burner. An added item is the Evernew titanium non stick 6 inch frying pan. The titanium burner is packed in the kit but stored inside a small zip lock bag for safety's sake. If it's not that Appalachia kit then it is a Firebox titanium stick burner , the Nano gen 2 with a titanium canteen cup. Everything fits inside the ( Maxi ) canteen cup. Nice thing about it is that the fuel ( dead wood ) is free and at every campsite since I camp in a hammock so trees are always there. As you might of gathered , I like quiet stoves , not loud ones. Over a lot of years I've had my share of the gas ones.

@@GearGarden That's a really interesting question because I'm currently re-thinking most of my gear for the trail. Right now my big three are the big agnes tiger wall 2p, nemo tensor insulated, nemo switchback, nemo disco sleeping bag, and hyperlite southwest 55. I'm considering switching that tensor pad out for a gossamer gear 1/8" foam pad and just stacking the pads. I'll switch the disco bag out for an EE Enigma quilt. I really want to trade out the big agnes tent for a durston X mid 1p pro but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that investment yet. I'll be setting off this time next year, so the temperatures will definitely be colder but that tends to be how I prefer it. I did a bunch of summer backpacking this year and it just wasn't nearly as nice as the fall and winter season for me.
