Love the gear choices and your color scheme! Very interesting bag...will have to look into that, I'm also a warm sleeper. Agree with you on comfort doesn't need to mean heavy! Keep on hiking!!
Thank you! Definitely a big fan of the bag. And I’m really happy with my personal balance of comfort and weight- don’t mind an extra pound or two for some more comfortable items, especially since I’m not on the trail super often.
Love that sleeping bag. Nice setup! I will sacrifice a little weight for some comfort as well. I think I need me one of those pillows. Nice review! New subscriber here!
Thank you! I’m really happy with the sleep system. And not everything has to be crazy light! Happy to carry a little extra weight if that means more comfort. Thanks for the sub!
Really nicely made gear video! Ngl I'm eyeing the SD bag now that I saw your video. I currently have a Nemo Disco which I love, but it's a lot bulkier and I'm trying to cut down on pack size/weight.
Nice Job! Great content! Grabbed the new Nemo tensor. Its a great pad. Still trying to figure out if I want to drop that much money on a tent. Im also looking at the osprey bags too. They seem to be becoming lighter now days. Thank for the vid!
Just a heads up that REI has their anniversary sale going on and the NEMO pads are 40% off (you may have already taken advantage of that sale) and some of the REI tents are also on sale! Their new Flash Air is similar to the Durston albeit with a slightly different design but still looks like a great option.
I’m 6’3 and got the X Mid 2p as well but if you aren’t as big the X Mid 1p is only $240 or $260 and still a great tent. I love the XMid, well worth the money investment. Checking out that REI sale is a must as well.
The new deluxe one is nice with the built in piezo lighter so you can cut down on that weight, but I always feel safer bringing a lighter regardless for any potential survival situations.
Great video! If I can make a suggestion, you should practice speaking slowly or practicing scripts. You sometimes just speak fast and frantically, but otherwise good content!
Great Setup! i know how you feel with long wide everything .. i'm 6'4' so everything sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad is long edition. it's good to see that tent is working for you, gives me options for future buy. Overall nice review, New Subscriber for sure!
Great gear walk through. Thank you. Ive got a similar setup except i use the 1p instead of the 2p xmid. Even the 1p has grwat room and the vestibles are huge too. I was eyeing off that bag too but landed on a Zenbivy 25 degree light quilt and fast sheet. Seems like a similar setup with the attachment. Im a side sleeper and was worried about the Cloud restricting me. Do you find this is the case?
I went with the 2P on the tent since I would like to dog my dogs with me on some trips at some point and the extra room is always nice. And you have great tastes! I want to get a Zenbivy setup at some point but the SD was on sale when I got it so it made more sense. I’m mainly a side sleeper as well and haven’t found any issues with restrictions on the SD bag!
I hike in the Cheaha/Talladega National Forest area or in the Sipsey Wilderness the most when it comes to AL. Trying to get a trip planned up to the Savage Gulf in TN here soon!
I try to keep it as flat as I can and haven’t had any crazy slopes yet. But since you can adjust the peak height with the trekking pole height, I would imagine that it’s actually more flexible than a freestanding tent! That’s just a theory though
No, I have looked at getting one of the ultralight packs from Z-Packs, UMG, or Durston but just haven’t had the need or the money to. My Osprey pack is light enough for me for now!
Brother, you need to properly hang your food bag regardless of whether you’re in “bear country” or not. Raccoons, mice, squirrels, and chipmunks have a field day with that bag.
To each their own! I haven’t been super experienced in all the different pack brands but I have been very happy with my Osprey pack so far. Which pack do you use?
@TerraOutdoorAdventures I've been stuck on the hyperlite packs lately when I thru hike, i also use a 5.11 rush 72 2.0 sometimes lol even though it weighs 5.5 lbs. I really really really like how it's set up.
HMG make some killer packs! I haven’t really tried any of the true “ultralight” packs out because for me at least, the extra structure and support I get from more traditional packs is more useful than saving an extra pound. I try to stay lightweight but not ultralight, but that’s what’s cool about backpacking- everyone has their own way of doing it! Never tried a 5.11 pack so you gave me something to check out
@TerraOutdoorAdventures If I'm walking 400 miles, I save every ounce I can. Sure you don't neeeed to go ultralight but it makes a difference. I know what you mean though, I absolutely prefer more stable, robust gear for anything else. If I'm just camping for a week or something, I don't care about weight, comfort takes priority.

I just got my xmid2p yesterday. I can't wait to use it this weekend

Nice to see personal touches in the kit 💛⛰️🚶♂️
For sure! Thanks for the comment!
great video and great setup dude ty for sharing
Of course! Thanks for stopping by

Awesome, thanks for feedback!

The Tensor is really great! And I’m super happy with my sleeping bag. Surprised more companies haven’t tried to follow suit!
watched a few vids and enjoyed watching, just subbed
Glad you enjoyed, welcome!!
Interesting design features on the SD bag. I don't think I have seen that one on any other channel.
I like my Bogler Co trowel.
Yeah I really do love the sleeping bag! Extremely versatile.
I want this tent!!!!! Waiting for distributors in Spain
Great video man! I happen to like the fast talking actually 😂
Haha thanks Brett! I know everyone has their preferences lol
Nice Job! Great content! Grabbed the new Nemo tensor. Its a great pad. Still trying to figure out if I want to drop that much money on a tent. Im also looking at the osprey bags too. They seem to be becoming lighter now days. Thank for the vid!
same on all 3 fronts 😅 getting new gear all round, going tensor, might end up with the lanshan 2p tent and leaning the exos 48

Yeah I have been loving the X-Mid!
Got the Flanagan 2 and exos48 would like to go lighter but then your going into really expensive gear
I also have the original pocket rocket and I can't think of a good reason to upgrade, perfect piece of kit.
The new deluxe one is nice with the built in piezo lighter so you can cut down on that weight, but I always feel safer bringing a lighter regardless for any potential survival situations.
The mesh on the Osprey’s belt on a long hike causes chaffing on the waist.
I have never experienced that personally and have worn the pack for a total of about 50 hours so far. Everyone’s body is different though!
@@adriant1940He’s talking about the AG mesh hip belts, not the Exos. The Exos doesn’t have mesh on the hip belt.
Great Video!
Thank you!!
Great video! If I can make a suggestion, you should practice speaking slowly or practicing scripts. You sometimes just speak fast and frantically, but otherwise good content!
Great advice! Definitely gonna do more of that down the road
hey dude, great video!
Glad you liked it!

Awesome, welcome Eli! Yeah the tent is great and the tall people struggle is real haha
I GOT THAT SAME FLASK, highly recommend an wide mouth flask!!
Also love the hat, where did you pick it up?
Yeah the flask rocks! And the hat is from REI, it’s their On-the-Trail Cap. Very lightweight and comfy!
Great video man! Just wondering, what size compression sack do you use for your sleeping bag?
Thanks for the compliment! That’s the 10L compression sack. Fits my bag perfectly!

Where do you hike? I'm local to Alabama and looking into the Pinhoti
I hike in the Cheaha/Talladega National Forest area or in the Sipsey Wilderness the most when it comes to AL. Trying to get a trip planned up to the Savage Gulf in TN here soon!
Have you pitched that shelter on any slopes sights or only on “flat” ground?
I try to keep it as flat as I can and haven’t had any crazy slopes yet. But since you can adjust the peak height with the trekking pole height, I would imagine that it’s actually more flexible than a freestanding tent! That’s just a theory though
Neither the umms nor the speed bother me.
Glad to hear it!
"free" pillow. pffft *eye roll*
lol I know, my data is the payment for the pillow. But I probably will purchase something from OV at some point so they will get my email eventually.
No Durston Kakwa?
No, I have looked at getting one of the ultralight packs from Z-Packs, UMG, or Durston but just haven’t had the need or the money to. My Osprey pack is light enough for me for now!

I have been using my method for years and have never had an issue! But not saying it’s a foolproof method haha
I like that nalgene boi
Nalgene bros
So many uhm’s, ums, errs; really detracts from a good post.
Good criticism! Still working on getting the thoughts out more cleanly.
@@TerraOutdoorAdventures you have a meaningful / constructive post. It looks like a really good beginning. You’re doing a great job.
@@TerraOutdoorAdventures And slooooowww dooowwwnnn. What's the hurry?
Haha! I know I’m a fast talker. Some people love it, some people hate it. Appreciate the comment!

Yr delusional. I thuhiked the PCT with osprey last year. Was stellar.
