The Gear I’ll Never Use Again

[C.F.]

Nobody uses the sawyer bags, they’re junk. Just get a Cnoc for dirty. Indestructible. Never had a problem with backwashing. Put a pre filter screen on and it cuts down the backwashing immensely.

What is this pre filter screen , and where do I go about finding one. Sounds like a good idea

Sleeping pads that don’t have bumpers around the perimeter… sliding off in the night is awful.
Trekking pole tents off trail … they give you a hard time when all you want to do is go to sleep.

Damn really , I got one of the original ones and gave it to my buddy when I got the newer stronger one. Friggen love that thing for pumpkin the pad up

Same. I think I actually like it even more for deflating when I’m packing camp up.

I replace the rubber washer with this on the inlet side. Get as fine as you can find. Any hardware store or Amazon.

Eh, I've pitched the xmid1 in a few "body width and length wide" "flat" spots. It's a tricky given the different geometry between the inner and fly. Jack up the poles all the way, use the line tensioners and adjust stake geometries if needed to get a serviceable pitch.

But yeah, definitely larger footprint than an ultralight freestanding 1P. Second only to a bivy/tarp or a hammock (zero footprint??).

That looks like a real bummer

So the Xmid2P is too big of a footprint, but the Copper Spur isnt?

(Not trying to be a d-bag, I'm legit asking.)

I'm interested in a Bivy sack vs tent. I liked the video the guys at Exo recommend for a bivy and I get it, BUT I can't get over the thought of it raining/snowing on you and having to deal with that all over as opposed to a tent.

Yeah, I know you can toss a tarp over the bivy, but to me, isnt that basically a reg tent then? Lol!

The 1p copper spur is great for f uped spots. This photo doesn’t do it justice for how bad the pile of rocks I set it up in was.
