Hey Hans, I love all these little hacks making the tent more functional...Great video edit too really well thought out with extra touches.... Video straight to the point as well which is very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to carefully film and edit... Keep up the great work... best wishes Tom
thank you for all of this "hacks", Hans. I`m just in a process of deciding what 2 person tent I will buy, and, considering very much polyester version of Durston X-mid 2 solid. Your videos are very helpful and fun to watch ! Mile from Toronto, Canada
Great video man. I have decided on this tent for my first ultralight tent. I figured that when i get it i would have to dial it in and maybe add guy lines and things. This video was perfect. I think im gonna take you up on every single modification you made. Thank you
I just got my X-Mid 2 and I can't wait to add most of these hacks in! Especially the drying cord and the Trekking pole slot carabiner to hold your pack off the ground, those look so useful and it's so simple to add on. Your videos on the X-Mid definitely helped with my tent selection. I love your choices in music and editing as well. The landscapes you often show are so beautiful and almost eerily calm. I hope to visit Sweden someday soon, it looks so very wonderful there. Thank you for the videos!
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 Heya! I actually ended up going with the mesh inner as I was planning on taking it into some warmer climates this coming summer. I will also have a chance to use it on the snow-covered mountains nearby, and I will be seeing how it holds up in colder/windier weather. I appreciate your videos so the thanks is all mine :)
Hello Hans, I'm waiting for my x mid to arrive and have very much enjoyed you instructive videos. Thank you for all your work bringing these to us. Take care Sir.
Great video, Hans. The quality is superb. Audio is a pleasure. Tasteful musical choices. I liked seeing your modifications of the XMid Pro. I've been poking around for some mods for my XMid 1.
Excellent thinking my friend. I like the elastic at the short side ground loops. I currently have a Dyneema blend cord (very thin, extremely light, particularly durable) there to the loops; I have them in a loop, with a taut line hitch so they can be adjusted. I think the elastics at the short and long door loops would be a fantastic idea and that'd allow you to put the door stakes right in the center of the zipper which would make for a better pitch, then put both doors looped around the stake. I also use the same Dyneema blend cord (by GO! Outfitters) as my clothesline inside. Instead of the toggles I just tied one end off, and on the other end did the same loop with a taut line hitch. Nothing to rub against the fly that way and abrade a hole in it (either during a windy night or during transport). As a general rule, I try to eliminate any hard points coming in contact with the fly by using a line with a taut line hitch. Much lighter, no fail points, no hard points to abrade anything, and very convenient to use for anything at the moment. By the way, your English is quite good and thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Hi Dangeroudge it’s the first time I’ve got positive feedback for my English 😂 thanks so much You have many interesting ideas for other hacks and I know that people are looking in the comments for response and that is very helpful - thanks again 😊
Very nice! I too changed out the stakes immediately. I did not know about the Sea to Summit Ground Control. I'm using something different to attach extra guylines but that's a nice gadget.
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 I added four foot guylines to replace the corners. I used 2.4mm Nite Ize. This way I can tie them around objects if need be. Or when on snow I can use deadman anchors. This is Andrew Skurka's method. ruclips.net/video/slOhlEmBwwY/видео.htmlsi=9UOrmDmfsIDFgtzb I recently purchased 2mm dyneema reflective guylines I intend to try out.
This is a great video and I appreciate the carabiner trick. One comment. Instead of the s2s guylines with their unnecessary plastic people can just buy dyneema core line for $20 and use taut line and hitch knots, which is lighter and more versatile
For anyone new watching, just got my xmid 1 solid today, the tent stakes it came with are actually sturdy and seem to be of nice quality. Not the same as in this video
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 Yep, Dan's providing 4x6" DAC stakes (7g) and 4x8" stakes (16g). when you buy them from durstongear directly. I think the tent purchased on Kaviso might not be updated with new stakes (yet).
The video needs a black sequence that lasts a week in duration. I think this would make the editing even better because the experience of missing seeing something for that long will give the impression that the video is much better.
No I don’t have a video specifically about pitching the tent, but I have a video about how it handles condensation - here I am testing different pitching setups
Hej Hans. Det er da bare et vildt fedt telt. Jeg har kigget på et Tiger wall fra GA.Det vejer kun 1145 for et tre personers. Det ville være godt til alle sommer turene. Ha en god weekend. Hilsen Søren.
I apologise if it has already been answered, but I was wondering if the carabiner hack to get a pack off the ground might cause any durability issues with the tent? Especially at the attachment point. I worry because my pack can still be a number of KG if it was to be hanged there at night. Thank you for your efforts!
Hej Hans, super fede idéer til teltet. Jeg snupper den med de bardunliner fra STS. Har aldrig set dem før, men de vil være perfekte til mit tarp 👍 Håber ikke dine hacks har kostet for meget nattesøvn. Ved at de bedste idéer altid dukker op når man skal til at sove ☺️ Tak for videoen Hans 👍
Hej Steen ja de fungere de bardunliner og er ok lette - de vil være gode til din tarp, en pakke med 4 liner koster 100,- 2 på 2 meter og 2 på 1 meter Tak for din kommentar ⛺️😊
Hi Hans, which guylines do you use on the corner of the xmid on a pitch if the already attached guylines of the xmid are too short. And because for example of rocky ground near the corners of your pitched place you would like to add longer guylines to the corner guylines to find softer ground to be able to put in your pegs in the ground?
Hi Hans great video would you mind me asking what millimetre the elastic cord is and where to get it from going to take you up on the sea to summit guylines also I bought extra msr ones for my msr hubba hubba nx2 but I like the look of them more from Lancashire UK 😀👍
Hi Jonny thank you for your nice comment 😉 I have bought my elastic cord in a hoppy store, first I thought that it needed to be some special cord. I just went for the thinnest, knowing that it wouldn’t last forever, but easily replaced when it loses its elasticity over time.
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 okay hans will look into thanks for your swift reply and a quick tip from me get the MSR tent peg hammer might seem a little extreme but they're light as hell and sturdy buggers the swing weight ratio is amazing and it's help me out in downpours where you just want to get on with pitching I can't recommend it highly enough plus it's got a beer bottle cap opener integrated into it result atb and happy camping buddy 😀👍❤
Super fed video! Hvilken elastisksnor bruger du? Skal det være en speciel stærk en af slagsen for at man kan bruge den langs bunden af den ydre teltdug?
Hej Anders jeg har købt det i Panduro Hobby og alle former for elastik snor mister kraften over tid, det er meget let og koster næsten ingen ting - så det behøver ikke at være noget specielt, jeg har valgt rød for at det skulle være lettere at få øje på 😊
Hej Dellepuden hvis det skal være let og stærkt helt klart X-Mid, men vil du have masser af plads og et telt der er let at slå op, så er det Cooper Spur
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 you’re awesome, just ordered most of your mods, appreciate it! Would love to see more videos of you camping in the future :) very funny and well edited
It’s because I live in Scandinavia, and here we have some cold and wet weather. I have for a long time been looking for a winter tent that’s not to heavy, I think I’ve found it with the solid version of the X-Mid, did that answer your questions?
Hey Hans, maybe I missed it but what are you using the shephard stakes for? My X-Mid Solid 2p, which arrived yesterday, came with 4x 18cm and 4x 15cm stakes (which are actually quite different from the ones you showed - more similar to the DAC V-best) and no shephard stakes. Thanks for this video. It's really helpful :)
Yep, when you order direct from Durston, they provide the same DAC stakes that Hans is using now. You have to order the tent in parts from Durston, though... as I believe the Kaviso supplied tents still use the older pegs.
Great video! very cool :) I still can t decide between the 1 vs the 2 p version 😬 Is it possible with some creativity to put in the 1p version a pair of shoes or a backpack?
Hi Pascal yes I think so, but I have the 2 person version. Because I like to have plenty of space and the possibility to invite a family member to join me in the tent. The X-Mid is famous for its large vestibules (2) Maybe you could have your backpack and shoes there! I think the biggest problem with the 1 person version is that there’s not so much space when you’re sitting up because one of the sides is sloping. Was my answer helpful?
@@hanskirk-hiking9697thanks a lot for your answer! Yes it was helpful! Why do you use the solid version ald not another one for example the dynima version or the non solid one? And are you always confident to be able to pitch your tent whereever you go (for example in other countries)? Have you ever had problems to pitch you xmid because of its dependance on pegs?
Thank you… the X-Mid is in my opinion difficult to pitch correctly especially in uneven terrain. Sometimes if the ground is loose there’s a lot of tension on the pegs, a rock on top of the pegs helps

Great to hear from you Tom, my loyal subscriber … i am having fun making these videos. Looking forward to your next video 😊
Really like the carabiner on the trekking pole to get your pack off the ground, thanks for sharing this!
Hi Dontall you are welcome 😊
This is also a great solution for gravity filtering water, a real bonus of trekking pole tents
I haven’t thought of that…. great idea - thanks 😊
This video was so straightforward and so informative. Why doesn't this have more views!?
Hi Michael thank you so very much for your message.
Dan Durston is now including 8 DAC stakes with purchases when made from his site directly. Just received them!!!
Great news, so my choice wasn’t that bad ha ha
Hans,
Excellent hacks.

Very nice! I too changed out the stakes immediately. I did not know about the Sea to Summit Ground Control. I'm using something different to attach extra guylines but that's a nice gadget.
Hi Bertman thanks for your comment - yes the included stakes are rubbish 😂
What kind of guyline are you using ?

Much appreciated Justin and thank you for your tips about guidelines
Excellent. Thank you for your concise, well edited, no bullshit video. Great hacks, as well.
Hi Paul thanks so very much and I appreciate your feedback
Man I wish I had seen this sooner, that Sea to Summit guy line kit is awesome and I would surely use them on my PCT hike in a few days!
Hi Andy, they are called Ground Control, great name and the weight is also acceptable - good luck on the PCT 😊
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 they came just in time! Arrived the day before I leave. Thanks again for the heads up.
Nice 👍🏻
Thanks Hans, very informative as usual, made me smile while watching

What a great piece. Love this guy!! I just purchased X Mid-1 Solid as well.
Hi thanks so much…. and congratulations with your new X-Mid
This is spectacular. Thanks for your valuable time.

For anyone new watching, just got my xmid 1 solid today, the tent stakes it came with are actually sturdy and seem to be of nice quality. Not the same as in this video
Hi Feldgrau congratulations with your new X-Mid - I have heard that they provide some better tent stakes new, right !

Hi Hans
It looks as that orange colour is a really good idea, as it distances it from the environment.( except maybe in the autumn)
Great video
Hello Lars thank you so much, maybe I could change it for a blue line 😊
Fantastic video Hans. Much appreciated from a new X-Mid 2 Solid owner :)
Hi Maxine - your comment is much appreciated - thanks, and congratulations with your new tent hope you can use some of my hacks 😊
Great. Appreciate further descriptions of parts or links where bought.
It’s all bought in a normal hoppy store. 😊
Thanks, friend. My Xmid 1 Solid arrived yesterday and I’ll definitely be using your carabiner pack hanger trick.
Hi Callum thanks for your nice comment
Congratulations with your new tent
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 it’s a great tent but I can’t decide whether to keep it or get the Copper Spur 2 😩
I have both tents - the Copper Spur is the best tent to be in - but the X-Mid is lighter and more storm worthy.
I loved that idea for hooking your backpack up! Great video

Thanks, I only bring the guidelines from StS they are easy to extend on other guidelines or attachment points
Exchange the metal carabiner to a soft shackle and you don't have to worry about the metal puncturing the fly on the pack hanger
That’s a very good idea 👍🏻
Amazing hacks!! Thanks!
RUclips are welcome and thanks
Why the Shepard stakes? I'm assuming for right off the side of the tent with no cord?
Hi David some of the point of the tent like on the doors don’t need a heavy tent stake… it’s to save some weight
Hi Hans great video would you mind me asking what millimetre the elastic cord is and where to get it from going to take you up on the sea to summit guylines also I bought extra msr ones for my msr hubba hubba nx2 but I like the look of them more from Lancashire UK 😀👍
Hi Jonny thank you for your nice comment 😉

Hvad vil din anbefaling til et vandre telt være til min hund og jeg - Durstons Solid eller BA Copper Spur?
Hej Dellepuden hvis det skal være let og stærkt helt klart X-Mid, men vil du have masser af plads og et telt der er let at slå op, så er det Cooper Spur
Naive question, but what are those elastic red cords? Shock cord? Do you know thickness?
Its shock cord and I think it’s 3 mm
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 you’re awesome, just ordered most of your mods, appreciate it! Would love to see more videos of you camping in the future :) very funny and well edited
Thanks very much
cooollll
Thanks Richard
I'm curious why you chose the solid over the regular or the pro?
It’s because I live in Scandinavia, and here we have some cold and wet weather.
I have for a long time been looking for a winter tent that’s not to heavy, I think I’ve found it with the solid version of the X-Mid, did that answer your questions?
Hej Hans, super video. Kan man også lave disse hacks på Durston PRO-teltene? Tak.
Hej Frontpaterners tak for din ros… om man kan hænge rygsækken op på Pro modelerne ved jeg ikke men de andre tricks virker 😀
Hey Hans, maybe I missed it but what are you using the shephard stakes for?
My X-Mid Solid 2p, which arrived yesterday, came with 4x 18cm and 4x 15cm stakes (which are actually quite different from the ones you showed - more similar to the DAC V-best) and no shephard stakes.
Thanks for this video. It's really helpful :)

Very 😂 funny.. but super hacks!
Ha ha glad you were entertained 😊
Hans, what diameter cord did you use?
Hi William it’s the Sea TO Summit Ground Control I don’t know the diameter
Thanks Hans. I'll check it out on their website. It should have it listed.
Hans, what are the model of tent stakes you show in the video? Is that an MSR ground stake for the first one.
It’s not MSR but DAC Aluminum V-Best tent stake - they are my preferred stake - light and strong 💪🏻
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 what about the hook stakes, same company?
No… it’s Vargo Titanium Tent Stake (orange)
What size do u prefer for Dac Aluminium v-best on this tent?
Medium size
Mange tak! 😊
Hej Vanessa - selv tak 🙂🙂
So 18 stakes in total for every point on the tent?
Hmm yes and remember there’s attachments for guide lines on the ventilation openings
furthermore the video is well made
Hi Le thank you 😊
I wanna buy that elastic cord (the same that’s used to tie the door) - do you know the name or brand?
I bought my elastic cord in a hobby shop - in my opinion any elastic cord will do the trick, it’s cheap and easy
Great video! very cool :)

Sometimes we are 2 person hiking but most of the time I’m alone in the tent enjoying plenty of space 😉
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 Thanks. Did you use it for winter camping in Sweeden ?
I have been using in snowy conditions here in Denmark 🇩🇰 and it have preformed very good 👍🏻
@@hanskirk-hiking9697 Super. Do you think that the 2P could be a better option that the 1P for winter ?
Absolutely in the wintertime you are bringing more gear and are spending more time in the tent ⛺️
Have you tried the footprint from Durston yet?
Hi Johan no but I’m considering buying it - but for longer hikes I wouldn’t bring it because the tent would be too heavy
😂😂😂😂 03:10

Wow! Thanks Hans for all of your timps with guy cords. I will definitely follow your hacks to my tent! 👍🥾⛰️😊
