    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    The X-Mid is an awesome shaped tarp shelter - easily the best option in it's class that I've tried. It's lightweight, highly functional and minimizes the drawbacks inherent to that type of shelter.

    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    Nice 👍. I've tried to redneck a few lightweight, floorless, freestanding options over the years but haven't gotten it quite right yet...

    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    I think there are a lot of great freestanding options in the 88" range. I'm well over 6' and prefer 92" or longer. Way fewer freestanding options in that length...

    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    I'm gonna wait to see if they release a silpoly version and would use it with and without the inner. No inner = stable, freestanding, fly first for 3ish lbs and likely not terribly expensive.

    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    I mostly agree, but the fly-first pitching capabilities of pole tent shelters is a huge asset. I was super excited when I first heard about the X Dome, but I want to see some real user reports of how it handles loading before I consider getting one. I'm skeptical of those carbon poles and...

    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    Yep, I was referring to the ArcDome. I'm not claiming to be a tent engineer or anything like that, but the way the fly attaches to the poles on the Durston disappointed me. It looks like it would concentrate wind or snow loading on a few bartacks. A sleeved design, in my uneducated opinion...

    Trekking Pole vs Freestanding Tents?

    I agree 100% and have gone back to freestanding tents the past few years. That said, I'd lean more towards the new Tarptent than the X-Dome because of the pole sleeves and aluminum poles.

    Best insole for ball of foot pain

    Do you have high arches? If so, you might benefit from gel insoles for absorbing impact. I've been using cheapo Dr. Scholl's gel insoles for years in Kenetreks and La Sportiva Aquelibriums.

    Early/mid season glove

    Kinco knit polyester/ nitrile palm gloves have been about perfect for me on September and October backpack hunts for the last 5-6 years. They cut the wind decently but still breath well, are lightweight, dry out quickly over a fire or overnight in your sleeping bag and offer great dexterity.
