Initial comparisons from 6,000-miler! Xmid pro 2 vs Duplex
*UPDATE* I have released a newer video comparing the XMid to the Duplex after hiking some 1,200mi of the 0acific Crest Trail with the XMid. This newer videmo offers deeper insights and more direct comparisons. Please check it out at: • Duplex vs. XMid Pro 2: Triple Crowner spil... After hiking both the Appalachian Trail (2021) and the Continental Divide Trail (2022) with my trusty ZPacks Duplex, I decided to get the legendary Durston X-mid Pro 2. This video covers the unboxing, the first pitch, and my first camp in this new tent, and includes my many initial observations and thoughts on the X-Mid Pro 2 compared to the Duplex. Check out my Gaia GPS track that was created as I hiked through a part of the Cranberry Wilderness in West Virginia's Monongahela National Forest. https://www.gaiagps.com/public/earQ6x... ===== Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike, 2021 https://tinyurl.com/beatat2021 Continental Divide Trail Thru-Hike, 2022 https://tinyurl.com/beatcdt2022 Pacific Crest Trail Thru-Hike, 2023 https://tinyurl.com/beatpct2023 Nijmegen Vierdaagse, Holland, 2024 https://tinyurl.com/beatvierdaagse2024 John Muir Trail ++, 2024 https://tinyurl.com/beatjmt2024 ===== Send some love my way: Venmo: @travelinbeat (no service charge) PayPal: paypal.me/travelinbeat https://www.buymeacoffee.com/travelin...
