2p for sure. The Paria tents are great, but if you can stretch your budget I would get the Durston X-Mid 2p. 2.3lbs vs 5+ lbs

I’m a first time camper/backpacker and am planning on getting the Paria Zion P1/P2 which has a negligible ($20) price difference. I have no one to camp with, but I’ve heard extra space is nice. Is the extra space worth it for the extra pound to carry around, or is the P1 big enough?

The P1 + Footprint weighs 4lbs (83-inch length x **37-inch width**)

The P2 + Footprint weighs 5lbs (85-inch length x **53-inch width**)

Need opinions: 1p vs 2p backpacking tent

* Change out the X-Mid 2p (=36.34 oz) for the [MLD DCF Monk Flat Tarp](https://mountainlaureldesigns.com/product/monk-flat-tarp/) ($160) (= 4 oz). Total weight loss: 32

This is my first shakedown request. I've learned a ton from this sub, but probably not enough. Fuck me up.

I'm heading to Mount Mitchell (highest elevation east of the Mississippi, a dizzying 6700 feet! /s) in North Carolina for a 3-4 day trip with a friend. We're looking at 50-60 miles, and a \~4500 ft climb on Day 1. I'm dealing with a not-so-fun foot injury (PT says tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis). Lightening up my pack could make a big difference.

**Goal BPW:** 10 lbs

**Budget:** $500, but only 9 days until we head out

**Location**: Mount Mitchell and surrounding peaks, North Carolina

**Temp range:** Between 50 and 80 degrees

**Specific trip description:** Head to trailhead Thursday night and start hiking Friday morning. Roughly 10 miles and a \~4500 ft climb our first day, camping at Deep Gap. 15-20 miles on Day 2, sleeping somewhere along Big Butt Trail depending on how we're feeling. Another 15-20 mi on Day 3, and if we haven't finished by the end of the day, a couple more miles to complete the loop on Day 4.

(Imperfect) [Gaia here.](https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=11.1/-82.3341/35.7514&amp;pubLink=ttVCsD5brAOfyYrSkJZXN2VA&amp;trackId=f4c2cd8b-5586-4ad3-9f42-b17a57c19d50)

**Non-negotiable items:** I like my Trekology pillow mostly because the straps keep it in place on my pad. That's important to me — I don't want to be fiddling with my pillow all night since I toss and turn. But if you know of a lighter pillow with straps, I'm game. Sleep is important to me, which is why I have the wide tensor.

**Solo or with another person**: With one friend

**Additional information:** I'm torn between the X-Mid 2p and the REI Quarter Dome SL tarp for my shelter. I've never used a tarp before while backpacking, so I'm inexperienced with setting it up and if the weather turns, it might be nice having the extra protection of the X-Mid. I have no idea how an A-frame configuration (which is what I know how to pitch) would hold up in rainy weather. If I went with the tarp, I'd also need to pick up a bug net.

**Lighterpack:** [https://lighterpack.com/r/1vz9ia](https://lighterpack.com/r/1vz9ia)

The lighterpack doesn't include food and snacks, since I haven't planned that out yet. But food could add another 5+ pounds or so, bringing my max total pack weight between 25 and 30.

I'm also missing one or two things, like a pot lid and windscreen. Will make one out of aluminum in the next few days.

First Shakedown Request: Mount Mitchell in North Carolina

 I am going to chalk that up to luck. However, it is more durable than the X-Drop. I think overall this is a good tent and will be doing some more field testing soon. Also, moving forward I am going to be more cautious

 You need a ground sheet. I know this because there is a hole in my brand new tent. On the way home I stopped by REI and got some tenuous tape and the issue is resolved for now. Also, I ordered a pre-cut piece of Tyvek that will be here sometime this week

Overall Pleased

Since I'm a tall dude I ended up with the Durston X-Mid 2p (long enough to fit me + enough room for the dog), a monster of a quilt (UGQ Bandit XL at max dimensions), and a full size sleeping pad. Hope y'all are doing well and staying safe!.

 It's silpoly, so no sag like silnylon. It's also significantly lighter than the Ultamid 4, and can also be used fly-only if desired.

Hi, all. Planning my first thru. Does anyone have advice/experience on campsite opportunities for the Colorado Trail--how big of a tent could one usually fit?

I'm hoping to make camp in low(er) use areas if I can just to be more dispersed and choosey. But I know the terrain is a factor, and combined with the realities of daily mileage, I understand I might have to stay at the more established sites. As a result, I expect sometimes I'll just be stuck with whatever flat ground has been previously dished out, and I expect it'll be for "smaller" tents. Hopefully this is a fair understanding.

Reason I ask is that I'm considering upsizing from a Stratospire Li to an Ultamid 4. The use case is two adults with wide shoulders and one of us is 6'2". We just fit inside the SS Li inner tent for our overnight trips, tall person's bag is usually touching some part of the mesh. It's fine, but I wonder if more room on a thru hike would be better.

We used to use an Ultamid 2 but did not like how the wall slope made it impossible to sit up without wiping shoulders against the tent. The two separate peaks of the SS Li are great for that--good on Henry at Tarptent. I know the silnylon SS is larger, but I just don't like sag and water absorption, otherwise I'd convert to that. So, sticking to DCF.

Yes, I know an Ultamid 4 with either half/full inner is more or less double the weight of the SS Li, and a good bit more pack volume too. But, this is all in the pursuit of just having a better time when we do sleep/change/pack up/hide out in a storm. A little less "UL" and a little more "HYOH" on this choice. I worked a lot to reduce base weights to ~12 and 14 lbs respectively, so otherwise in good shape.

Thanks for reading all that. Input welcome, even on alternative shelters!

Tent/Campsite Sizes on Colorado Trail

 Nylon eventually absorbs water and sags- everyone that’s had experience with sil nylon knows what I’m talking about here. So with the xmid, you don’t get any wet sag or saturated fabric.  Well, I could go on and on about convenient pockets, high quality zippers, the titanium stakes that come with it but I’ll use the final bit of your patience to add one of the most important features of all the Durston Gear. That’s Dan Durstons accessibility to answer questions

 Second, the tent comes with 2 guy lines that attach to the two peaks ... I’ve pitched on top of exposed ridges and been blasted by monster storms

  The material is made from sil/poly, not sil/nylon. This is important because most tents are made with nylon. Nylon eventually absorbs water and sags- everyone that’s had experience with sil nylon knows what I’m talking about here. So with the xmid, you don’t get any wet sag or saturated fabric

PRICE IS NOT $650 it’s $300 beware gougers

 To that I would say that it's right on par with most other ultralight 2 person backpacking tents, and you don't need to find the perfect site for the entire tent: you just need to find a good spot that fits the interior. The height of either end can be adjusted by changing the trekking pole length, allowing you to pitch on uneven terrain. I've spent 3 nights in it so far, with my 85 lb dog, in below freezing temps, wind, and rain, and it has held up like a rock.  Overall, this is THE best backpacking tent I've ever owned

Everything a tent should be

Switchback Travel

A number of leading ultralight tents are built with Dyneema—the high-tech fabric commonly used in boat sails and praised for its strength-to-weight ratio—and the Zpacks Duplex is best in class. With an incredibly low all-in weight of just 1 pounds 5 ounces (counting stakes and using two trekking poles for support), it’s by far the lightest tent here, yet still sleeps two and includes a bathtub floor for protection from the elements. In use, we found the Zpacks to feel decently roomy for its weight with a 48-inch peak height, and you can adjust the dimensions fairly easily depending on the campsite and conditions. In the end, no ultralight tent is perfect, but the Duplex is a high-quality option that has been relied upon by serious thru-hikers for years.

What are the shortcomings of the Zpacks Duplex? We’ve had no issues with water entering the tent—even while camping in snow—but the open sides and thin materials definitely can make it feel drafty in certain conditions. Second, with a trekking pole design you don’t get the steep walls of tents like the Copper Spur above, making the Zpacks a feasible but cramped option for two backpackers. And third, setting up the tent is more complicated than with a freestanding model, so we recommend practicing before heading out to make sure you know how to get a taut, even pitch. Last but not least, $699 is a big investment for a small tent, but for the right person the weight-savings are well worth it... Read in-depth reviewSee the Zpacks Duplex

I want bug protection and rain protection because I don't like bugs (f ticks) and sleeping out gives me the creeps sometimes, so not really into the tarp and bivy. It seems to me like the Zpacks Duplex (occasionally bring my wife or a friend) would be a good option, being 19oz and having bug and rain protection integrated (not a tarp or bivy system, so it's simpler i.e. one piece)

Gossamer The Two vs. Zpacks Duplex

 One of the biggest benefits to the Dynamo material is that it's waterproof. This tent is 100 waterproof. I've never had any sort of leaking. I've had no issues

 You don't have to worry about the coatings aging and having to be reapplied. There's very little here with this tint that's going to age and that's not the case with copycat versions of this tent. I know that I've said a lot in regards to this tent, so let me wrap this up. in the end: this is a very impressive tint

 Thousands and thousands of miles with no issues at all. That is impressive. One of the biggest benefits to the Dynamo material is that it's waterproof. This tent is 100 waterproof

 it is. With all of my experience with this tent, I'm ready to pass on my pros and cons. So let's start with the pros. First, This tent is without a doubt, extremely lightweight

 So I won't go into any more specs on it because I'm sure you can find a lot of information out there about it. Let's talk about my opinion of this tent after 3,000 miles on the trail and what I like about it and what I don't like about it. So first off, obviously what I love about the tent is how insanely lightweight and roomy it is. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only tent that is this big that has this much room and is that low in weight

 So first off, obviously what I love about the tent is how insanely lightweight and roomy it is. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only tent that is this big that has this much room and is that low in weight. so that is definitely a plus for me. and it's why a lot of other people like it

ZPacks Duplex 3,000+ Mile Review

 However, the ONE thing that is bad about BOTH tents is the way the end tie outs are sewn and sealed. The tents BOTH leak at the tie out points. This is due to the way they are sealed. It seams as if the seam seal was applied FIRST and then the tie outs sewn into the fabric

UPADATED AGAIN: I have purchased both the 1 and 2 person tent. Seems like very well quality and lightweight. However, the ONE thing that is bad about BOTH tents is the way the end tie outs are sewn and sealed. The tents BOTH leak at the tie out points

 The tent leaked at both ends where the tie outs are sewn into the fabric. These points are seam sealed, so I do not know why or how it leaked at both points. The water on the floor of the tent was about the size of a quarter. I have since sprayed all of the fly seams and the tie out points with silicone treatment

Very lightweight.

 So we just/\s/want to lower that down and make sure you're/\s/ not getting rain splatter and wind coming/\s/into the tent so we'll just open the doors. We'll take our trekking poles which/\s/are set to around 120 centimeters now/\s/ Zpax recommends 122. But for a storm pitch you/\s/can come down to 110 or maybe even lower and/\s/ you can see that just brought us down a bunch. So/\s/now we'll just tighten this guy line a little bit/\s/ redo our doors, tighten our doors, you can/\s/see how much lower that even brought us/\s/ Now if we go ahead and do the same to the other/\s/side or we could technically even bring this lower/\s/ and we could bring yeah, if it was really storm and/\s/then we'd want to bring this in basically as tight/\s/ as you can for the doors

 Don't just stuff them door flaps in guy/\s/lines to the middle mosquito net tucked under. Now we like to float it in thirds first wind. a little more complicated when it's/\s/windy just tuck that back in there so we're folding thirds and/\s/then pull it into the middle, squish the air out again. make sure that/\s/everything is like tucked inside

How to Setup the Zpacks Duplex | + Tips & Tricks

 So for 2.3 ounces more weight and fifty dollars more in cost, is the extra six inches of floor space worth it? For the duplex cell, that's for you to decide for me since I've already bought the duplex cell, and I really loved the fact that I didn't have to stress over whether my feet were touching the wall and again, I didn't have my hood getting damp for me. Yes, because 20.8 ounces is still ridiculously light for a two-person tent, but if I was having to make that decision right now to go with the new duplex or the Duplex L, it would be pretty hard for me to make that decision and also just to make you aware

 First off, I love that this is a very lightweight two-person backpacking shelter. Finding a two-person shelter. that weighs significantly less than two pounds I think is a win if weight is important to you. The Duplex Cell is what I would say is the second most simple two-person tent up, the first being the duplex

 Yes, because 20.8 ounces is still ridiculously light for a two-person tent, but if I was having to make that decision right now to go with the new duplex or the Duplex L, it would be pretty hard for me to make that decision and also just to make you aware. if you're going to use the Duplex L as an actual two-person tent, you're planning to go backpacking with another person and share that space for only .8 ounces more

 The Z Packs Duplex L is very similar to the duplex that you all have seen me use in the past, but it's got more usable length, hence the name Duplex L. The difference as far as dimensions between the duplex and the Duplex L are in the bathtub floor. They take up the same space the same footprint at a campsite, but the floor width on the Duplex L is actually one inch more narrow than the regular duplex, and the floor length is a half a foot longer. So six more inches of space either in the head area or the foot area, depending on how you position yourself in the tent
