Considering I saw one of your earliest reviews, you have really leveled up. That intro was so good with the music and the titles really add to the video. Holy multiple angles, that made editing way harder but the look of it is worth it. What makes your video so good is that you represent the everyman!
😀 Ya the tent reviews are a lot of work but that is where the watchtime and subs come from at the moment. I haven't built a large enough audience for trip videos to keep us afloat yet. This video is a little late in the season for it to do REALLY good! I certainly enjoy the challenge of the multiple angles and the editing. Thanks!! I can't handle the pressure of doing anything perfectly the first time! I always screw something up! 🤪
@@DMSAdventures The one good thing about youtube, is that people will find this review when the season starts. Most of our seasonal content doesn’t pick up until the next season. Seriously well done.
@SantosChronicles Thanks Carl I appreciate it! Ya we've had that happen a few times where something sat dormant for 6 months and then for no apparent reason just took off! One of them was a really early video with terrible quality... its STILL doing pretty good!
Love this tent so far. I too set up the fly inside out. And I gave up on the stakes immediately. Depending upon ground I use MSR groundhog (hopefully mini). Like your presentation starting with your son. And comparison to the equipment you were using. Good personal touch.
Hey thanks for the kind words! Some people just want the info but that's too boring for me to shoot and produce!! 😀 I've used it in the field only two times now but each time i get a better pitch!! Thanks for watching and taking a moment to drop a comment!! 🤜🤛
Thanks for bringing us a tent that is in a solid price range,some of us live paycheck to paycheck!I just bought the one person tent ,think its a x mid solo 1 person!
Yup, I DID reference it before putting mine up... I just forgot a thing or two between watching it and when I put it up!! :-P Thanks for watching anyway though!!
That's one of our things! We always setup new Tents for the first time on video! Gives the viewer a good idea of what to expect when they do it for the first time! We are getting to use it for the first time this weekend!! 😀
Nice job on the review. Very detailed, practical and useful. Thanks. One question: does it matter which way the mesh inner tent goes in the outer fly? If so, are there indicators on both pieces to assist proper orientation?
Thanks alot!! 😊 That's a great question. Too the best of my recollection, no it doesnt matter. I only attached it here in this review. I just leave it attached when I fold it up.
Thanks Tim!! Ya someone else on here mentioned that the Stan Mursten is a solid tent!! As a sort of engineer, the design is what got me interested in the first place!!
This video is really good and I’m laughing but not for any reason you may think. Trey amigos just did their first review of a product. Stay tuned that video will come out Oct 2. It was a calamity of issues and you can see the difference in myself who’s just figuring out this RUclips stuff out vs you who’s been here a while. Also I don’t have a lot of experience in various tents. So prepare to laugh with me when you compare your video with mine.
Hahaha ok!! Well you gotta start somewhere! My first one had pretty terrible audio! I had to do some cutting to get it under 20 min too!! I just thought over 20 was a little too much!
Thank you soooo much for showing it from above----however, absolutely NO ONE will show me how to put the interior part of the tent in!!! Kind of super important. I could not figure out how to get around the poles. Argh. I kind of hated putting this thing up.
You're welcome! The way we film the first setup i can't really show what's going on in the inside. I tried to come back and show a few aspects of getting the inside in there. It just clips into a snap buckle at the top and hangs. Then the D rings attach in the 4 corners. You just set it in between the two poles then Make the 6 connections. Two at top and the 4 corners. Then i actually put the pole ON the little fabric tab attached to the tent. I role it up with the tent attached to the fly now so i haven't had to reattach the inner tent since the first time. Sorry i couldn't show you better in the video!! Hope you're able to get it!!
@@DMSAdventures he sure does where abouts in the states are you my my friend got a mate coming over to the UK for a big camp out in suffolk from albuqeurqure damn I wish he lived in new Jersey or some place cos that's bloody hard to spell 🤦♂️😂😀👍❤
Buzzin mate the mid west wow 🤩 is that the long straight roads with the blue sky country amazing mate I'm gonna go to whiley coyote country one day the cliffs and rock formations you see on the films look totally rad I'm from Lancashire UK ❤
@jonnytentpeg Pretty much! Amber waves of grain and such. They would be awesome to see! I have not been out west yet. I follow a RUclipsr in the UK called Hiking With Rosy. I love his Instagram pics from over there!
I can certainly take a constructive critique. Especially a specific one. I went back and watched it, and what I consider the intro was under a minute. I'm not sure what was so self-absorbed other than mentioning that we made a little money on another platform which we had been asked about in the past. You were the only comment that mentioned the intro being both too long and self-absorbed. If it was something I heard more than once from different people, I would definitely take it as a critique to pay attention to in further videos. Meaningful critiques are generally better received when they are justified with specifics and included with some sort of compliment to let the creator know the commentor is acting in good faith and not just being mean.
I have been wanting to see the Z-flic poles in action, as I consider my next tent choices. Thanks for the video!
Hey no problem!! I hope they work out for you! I really like them!! 👍
@@DMSAdventures I’m still in my research phase and very much considering either the X-mid 1 or 2.
I use the tent poles as well, love them! The Stan Merston 2p is my go-to tent of choice these days!!
Ya they are pretty awesome!! Haha the Stan Merston huh?
Every trip video with Buckley and myself, we always say the name wrong. I keep with traditions.
Ahh gotcha!! 🤣

Oh nice! I just used ours this week! Still an awesome tent. I bet the 1p is super light! So much room in the vestibules i love it!
😮 oooh! That is one nice tent!! Lots of room for two!
Yup! Can't wait to actually use it!! More room... less weight!!
😊
Great information for anyone considering a Durston...........might even make it my next rent. 👍👍
It's a pretty solid offering for the price! (At least the sil-poly version) I'm excited to get it on trail!!
Dan has a really good pitching video for the x-mid
Yup, I DID reference it before putting mine up... I just forgot a thing or two between watching it and when I put it up!! :-P Thanks for watching anyway though!!
Daring to put it up for the first time on video, I would have had to do a pre- roll put up 😂! Love all the pockets! Enjoy your new tent!

@@DMSAdventures Have fun!
Review the Lanshan 2, you will find that good things may not be so expensive.
I did look briefly at the Lanshan 2. If someone sent it to me, I'd be super happy to review it!!

@jonnytentpeg We are in what is called the Midwest. A long way from Albuquerque. I agree, thank goodness for auto correct... for once.

It takes up too much space, sometimes this tent is not practical in the jungle, especially in Europe, but it is better in the United States.
For sure it's footprint can be an issue for some. You can always go with a bivy when camping in the European jungles!!!
Intro is WAAAAAAAY too long and self-absorbed.
Mmkay. 🤜🤛 (That was way too many "A's" btw)
@@DMSAdventures well, take critique or don't.
