In my opinion, you already own the PERFECT tent! The one you sleep in, the Hilleberg Unna, sand color, mosquito inner. I have slept hundreds of nights in exactly that tent, in all kind of conditions, while biking, kayaking and hiking. I just can't imaging a better alround and bomb proof tent. OK, I did buy all the extra's for it, like snow/sand stakes, extra heavy poles, additional guylines, the footprint, and the mosquito inner tent. Once you have that, you can bring whathever your trip might ask for. It is like owning every imaginable tent in the world. So again, stick with your great Unna, it is unbeatable!

DCF tents are for long-distance hiking. That's where the weight savings matter. For weekend warriors save your money and carry the extra weight. DCF tents not only cost twice as woven they also last half the time. So 4x the price per use. If you've got money to burn then why not though.

I have trekking pole dcf tents that are 14 years old and still going strong. If you take care of your quality gear, it will last a long time. I've had regular tents fail when the pole systems simply age and break. Weight savings is great for thru hiking, but I love a lightweight pack and kit even if I'm just going out for a few miles over a few days. Why should I carry an extra couple of lbs when I have crappy knees or a bad back. My dcf tents are amazing no matter how long or short my trip may be.

@@LiLBitsDK No, there are specific smaller sections of certain public forests where you are allowed to camp overnight under certain restrictions, such as hidden behind trees and out of sight, etc. and then there are designated shelters where you can also put up a tent. What you can't do is just put up your tent on a nice hill like in this video for example, or in the dunes of a beach, etc.

[@LiLBitsDK]

@@TomsWhip I guess you think of the shelter spots... you can camp in all the "fri teltning" forests off the path... can't camp on the beach but if you move a bit further in you can camp... except on the shooting ranges and such which has special rules. and then there are all the many shelter spots both public and private, many of them free, some of them paid.

Hi Paul, from Argentina, may I ask you something unrelated? I noticed the weather there is pretty similar to Buenos Aires winter (humidity 95 percent, everything wet, lots of fog). I have a new down sleeping bag and I have condensación inside the sleeping bag! As much as it wakes me up and I had to wipe the inner of the bag, with my fleece. Never happened to me in my 45 years, but is my first down sleeping bag, after I decided my 40y.o. sleeping bag needs to retire. Did you ever experienced sometjing like that? I tried at my garden nights of 5 and 7 Celsius degrees. Before the morning the humidity got to the down and I woke up being cold because of it. I only used a thin layer of first skin clothes while sleeping.

[@pascalcuoq9265]

Hi Paul, thanks for another nice video. I am currently using the Xmid Pro 1 in the North part of Sweden (Umeå last, Boden next). It is the one-person tent I had been looking for (some two-person tents I had been using before were also the one-person tent I had been looking for, but this one is so light compared to my previous nylon 2-person tents, it's a 1-to-4 ratio!). It's too small to have all your stuff with you like you would in a 2-person tent, but there is room for the essentials, and the absides are large enough for my oversized backpack (I'm never doing more than two consecutive camping nights but I'm traveling in Sweden for 5 weeks without a base to leave stuff at). There's enough height to use a pee bottle inside, which makes a big difference in the middle of the night when it's raining outside. The Xmid Pro 1 has stood up to the rain very well, and to a bit of wind, but that was already discussed in the video. It is very airy, which contributed to condensation being extremely minor so far: despite the rain on the outside, on the inside there has only been a layer of condensation so thin I never even bothered to wipe it up. You might find it too airy for the sort of places where you camp; if it's windy and cold, you will definitely have to use a few degrees better insulation than what you would have in another tent. The straight zippers have done a good job of keeping the mosquitoes out, they can be opened and closed very quickly; the vertical ones can usually be operated one-handed, the horizontal ones may require two hands. This has been one of the factors that made it acceptable to have my stuff in the absides instead of with me: access without letting mosquitoes in.

[@mtadams2009]

Durston tents are fine but they cost like they are hand made in North America or Europe but are made in Asia. Zpacks all the way. I don’t really think with your climate a single wall tent is the way to go. Condensation is a real problem. Just how it is.
