Nice review, I appreciate your time an effort. I also had a pad slipping issue. My "jerry rig" solution was to put a small strip of Velcro on the back of my sleeping pad and then on the floor of the tent. So far so good. Maybe 30 nights of use.

What an incredible blue sky! I love the music you have selected both days, but I loved the one shot where I could only hear your footsteps. Great editing on your part brother! Happy Hiking

Beautiful area. Sometimes the winging it of backpacking is the spice of backpacking.😁👍🏼

Spectacular scenery my friend

Avoid - even though hardly used and undamaged, my duplex leaks through a dozen or so invisible holes in the DCF. Because I'm a dry weather hiker, I didn't discover this until after the warranty period expired. zPacks response was "our tents have a limited life, here's some repair tape". So now I have a non-waterproof tent with repair patches all over it.

I remember the feeling of strolling out of Waterton Canyon. It was a badass day with goats on the ridge. I soaked my headband right near those big pipes and pushed on to wherever I ended up.

Looks like a beautiful day for a hike! Happy Hiking

Do you have to use a base layer under the Peloton 97? I am wondering if this piece can be used by itself as a base layer? Or would I need a T-shirt base layer under this? Thank you!

Shaping up to be an amazing trip!👍🏼

Prongs are nice they will let you get like 5 feet from them or atleast the ones on my property will

Can’t wait to see this trip. 🦑

I hope you enjoy your time on trail and with family. Sounds like a good plan with plenty of flexibility built in. Can’t wait to see the scenery. 👍🏼🙏🏼

Happy Hiking

What pack is that?

You might want to face the camera when you talk. Or better, try a lavalier mic.

Good luck with your Colorado hike. It sounds like fun and interesting. I'm surprised you got everything in that backpack. It seemed to be a little too small but you made it work.

Sounds like a good trip. What are your thoughts on the Vaucluse frame?

amazing

Nice!👍🏼

Awesome catch! 🦑

Beautiful trek. So happy that people are willing to help.

Too many poles, to many pegs

The shot of the butterfly was amazing! Y’all did get some good views in between the rain. Happy Hiking

You caught some awesome shots. Rain is never fun.

Great video Leonidas. Awesome trip. Crow✌️

One thing I've never understood about the Duplex ,and it sounds like this tent, is why not give a couple more inches overhang of the fly over the floor and eliminate rain splash back and the chance of the floor from pushing out. The tent is so light to begin with why not eliminate these problems? It would only add a couple of ounces. Those of us that camp in the mountains can't find level spots very often.

The sunset shots were fantastic. 🦑

Brings back great memories of my thru hike. I thought a bear was going to pop out any time. Hope her knees heals quickly! Happy Hiking

Hope the knee heals quickly!

Great to see you posting again man!

Glad to see you back on the trail. It would not be the AT without the rain. This section I slack packed in 2018 SOBO in September through a tropical depression, but at least I had a hotel every night! Happy Hiking

Those moments of sunshine after the rain always lift my spirits. 🦑

thanks for the review. Why not add clips to the fly sides that don't open up so that you can disconnect them from the ground and open the flys fully? You have peak tieouts so the tent will still stay taut. I don't know why Zpacks doesn't do this. Am I missing something?

Lots of deer and one rabbit 🐇. Beast hiking.

What an adventure! Beautiful section too. 2:12 That deer looked like she recognized all that hunter orange. 😄👍🏼

You have the head and foot ends the wrong way around. It is wider at the taller end (50") to accommodate mummy shaped pads and narrower at the foot end (44") for the same reason. If you need convincing, look at the product description and photos on their product page and their set up video.

Add loops on the floor corners to stake out with tiny titanium Shepard stakes

Definitely add silicon strips or bumps to your pad

Very nice review! Thanks for sharing Bud

Dont stuff dyneema! Fold it keeping it flat as opposed to a cylinder. My tent has lasted so much longer than previous ones. The thermarest pump sack makes a good bag for a 2p dyneema tent making it duel use.

This is a different take on the offset duo and more of a practical review and comparison to the duplex. I think I would prefer the rainbow door. Thoughts? 🦑

Nice review John. That's a tent to consider. Love the D doors

Surprised the sun shirt is not orange!

Excellent!! 🦑

Awesome!

That looked like a Dirt color Zpacks Duplex. Lol

Awesome video! I've always been super interested in the bear canister specifically for the reason of convenience and ease of use. I've never really cared too much about weight if it improves my experience. Love the ideas about using the lids and Cook station or a plate. Brilliant.

I love it. I have always preferred a bear canister. It’s slightly amusing to me how UL backpacking has become such a competition with some people on KZbin that they don’t even want to carry an extra pair of socks or a chapstick and their first aid kit consists of a single bandaid and an Imodium pill. You really laid out the case for bear canisters well. There are other ways to help keep your weight reasonably low and still enjoy your hike, get a good nights sleep and not have the aggravation of a food bag to hang or the worry over bears and other critters.
