Thread: SI tents

I bought a Durston X-Mid 2 solid. Got it to NZ for about $650. It’s just over 1kg and uses trekking poles. Very roomy, but the “footprint” is reasonably large compared to some tents. It does have good sized vestibules for gear.

Good to know I ordered one a couple of days ago.

Is it possible to pitch this fly only and without poles? Like string it up to trees using the extra tie outs?

I would say no you really need the poles or trekking poles and the 4 corners pegged out.
You can pitch the fly only they are super light and a great tent I used mine on the tahr ballot and was impressed.
I brought the poles rather than use trekking poles I put it up on our lawn in a bloody strong wind and was easy to erect in the wind and handled it with ease.
