A look at the features of the MLD Duomid silnylon version. It’s an ultralight, 16oz, pyramid shelter that provides protection form wind and rain. Andrew Skurka used the solo version on his Alaska-Yukon expedition. It’s a nice shelter for ultralight backcountry pursuits such as extended wildlife photography adventures, backpacking, fishing or hunting.

The First Lite Unc 2.0 is a synthetic puffy jacket that’s a nice addition to your backcountry photography layering kit. Chris from AdventureFit has used it for three years in the Eastern Woodlands and the Rockies. He loves the jacket but highlights two minor design flaws.
First Lite Corrugate Foundry Pant Review
Просмотров 63111 месяцев назад
The First Lite Corrugate Foundry pant is a great addition to a wildlife photographer’s kit. Padded knees, stretchy feel, water resistant seat area and thigh vents make it a solid choice for photographers pursuing backcountry elk and other animals. It’s not perfect, though.

One base layer top stands out! Brynje, First Lite, Patagonia

One base layer top stands out! Brynje, First Lite, Patagonia
Their is slot pockets behind each pocket to hold cellphone. It also holds my Garmin Alpha with antenna up.
That’s right. I show those in the video. Thanks for your comment.
Fish net has been around for ever. It vanished from the American market when Patagonia came out with Capoline. If you like a sweaty back while running, biking, hiking, skiing, wear Capoline. If you want to stay dry wear fishnet. It is cool in summer with a ventilating shirt and warm in winter with a capoline or wool base layer over it. My go to layering for moving below 20F to -30F is Fish net base layer and Alpaca sweater mid layer under a wind stopper over the butt jacket. If you are going to standing around in the cold. add a down jacket or Parker if it will be hour in the cold standing around.
Wow! That’s Awesome dude! Keep posting these vids!
Thanks for checking out the video
Nice walk through of the MLD duo tarp. I have a few MLD tarps and I enjoy them very much.
Hi!!! What is the folded length from the base to the arca anchor? Thanks!!!!
22”. Thanks for the question.
Hi!!! What is the folded length from the base to the arca anchor? Thanks!!!
22”. Thanks for asking
Look into alpha direct material for a fleece. Senchi is the brand I went with
It looks like it would be nice to use over the fishnet base layer sometimes.
I have used mesh base layer(Brynje/Aclima) for over 20 years now and I never leave home without it. I'm happy more people become aware of this tech now.
Agreed! Thanks for your comment.
Very nice video 🤗 subscribed to you channel! Greetings from Sweden
Thank you for commenting!
Make front pole longer if poss snd back pole shorter or even pitch back to ground itll cut out draft through it Great pitch esp in snow Yeah like later in vid i see nice pitch great tarp
Tony, thanks for commenting. I enjoy your channel!
@@fit4outside many thanks for reply have fun 😉
The one person one is solomid they now do a solomid xl Great shelter Id loosen off the mid back panel tie out. Id keep pole in middle sleep at back that way if rains less chance it gets on you and keep door open. Often need to close door in heavier or wind blown rain but helpful to kip at back then huge porch Enjoy 😊
i cant really understand can a pole be used either : way tip or handle up?
Ever try Aclima mesh? Another Norwegian company that makes a similar top.
I have not but will definitely look into them. Thanks for sharing that.
Larry, I have both but Brynje is my favourite.
We like your review of the tarp, thanks for doing it. We also like tarps for hiking/camping on the AT with a dog (Willow). After trying several tarps, we've settled on the Durston Gear X-Mid. The non-DCF version has a polyester stand alone fly. We went above and beyond and cut the bug net out of the Pro (DCF version) for a very light and functional tarp. We hear Durston will offer the DCF fly only version in the future. Here's our set-up: ruclips.net/video/F7VOM7RTwew/видео.htmlsi=g2LfKE3k-MCLupj1
Thanks! I checked out your set up and I like it.
Lol no not a promo. All my review videos are done on products I purchase with my own funds and use on my own. Thanks for the comment.
Promo*SM 😆
Good video man nice job. I use a lot of the First Lite gear also.
Thanks. Me too. I have more FL review videos coming.
I’ve got a pyramid. I think it’s suitable for spring/ summer hiking. The snow seems too much for such light fabric to me.
I like pyramids, too. I’m working on a review of my mountain laurel designs duomid. I’m hoping to have it out in January.
did u use the nettent tuu
No I did not.
I’m glad it helped you. It’s still a great ultralight shelter, even after more than a decade.
11 years later this helped me decide to get the cape. 🙂
excellent. it’s still a great UL shelter. I’m working on an MLD Duomid review now.
Nice video. I'm thinking of using my gatewwod Cape for next years Elk hunt in Colorado. It will be around the upper 20°s. Would you recommend it for those temps. Plus my sleeping bag would be 10° rated. Debating whether to take the serenity with me .This year there where no bugs. Thinking maybe the bathtub of the serenity might help if it rains. By the way I also have the monster Fanny pack Love that thing for scouting and overnights. Cheers from Florida.
yes, I recommend it. it’s more than enough through second rifle in Colorado.
Aaron - I never have a problem with that. There is enough room
Hikerdoc, I was using a Mountain Laurel Designs Superlie bivy and a Jacks R Better Sierra Snivilar quilt. I had a fleece top and bottoms on with down booties and fleece balaclava. Mattress was thermalite pro 3/4 on top of a 3/4 ridge rest. Toasty warm
Nice vid. Think i might get this and a net screen for my next ul upgrade
That's my last name
Seems like condensation would be really bad if you had to close the hood in humidity. Pacific Northwest is very rainy and wet. I have a pyramid shelter and keeping the vent at the top open during heavy rains is critical. Would this shelter keep rain out if the hood were open?
no, if it’s blowing rain you would definitely need a good bivy
nice video I love seeing people outside even in bad weather! have you had this poncho in some heavy rains?
It seems to me that if you're expecting precipitation that you might want to lower the trekking pole and stake the cape closer to the ground until the precipitation stops and then raise it for ventilation. But, I've no experience with this type of shelter.
You're tough as a polar bear! I can see myself using this 11 oz multi use shelter. Current shelter is a 2011 Lunar Solo at 23 oz. For summer use, I'd sew some no-see um netting at the edges, b/c the bugs love my blood.
Do you ever have a problem kicking the trekking pole while you're sleeping?
do you think this is large enough to comfortably sleep in outstretched ... im 6"1 /185 cm dont want to touch the edges with my feet and face even when im stretched out
Nice demo. I don't have a Gatewood but do have three other pyramid shelters. Snow buildup is less an issue if you're sleeping in the tent- just knock it off once in a while. An adjustable pole makes it easy to tighten up when it sags- just extend the pole a bit.
Dude, you should have opted for a Hilleberg Soulo in that weather.
I had been harnessing the pole guy line incorrectly before viewing your video. A video is worth a million words. What a great idea to be able to adjust tension from inside of the tent. Alot of thought went into the design of this piece of gear. Thanks.
great vid
Great video. Timwaltham, you do want that gap at the bottom. Just like with any shelter, you need to breath, especially if the snow could block the gap at the bottom. I would even crack the bottom of the door a bit if I was going to sleep and the snow was going to continue. I have pitched this in strong winds and it held up and did a good job of deflecting wind.
im not sure i like the idea of such a large gap between the ground and the cape at the front, looks like alot of weather could get in there
Tim Waltham it’s for venting... you can pull it all the way down to the ground if you don’t like it... but you will need some sort of space for air flow otherwise you will get condensation. Not a big deal, but you don’t want a lot of moisture esp in this type of weather.
