Battling The Storms Of Life | Devotional
Storms in life can come in many different forms. We often go to battle against these storms in our own strength and end up feeling defeated. In this short video devotional we learn the "secret" to winning these battles rests not in our own strength but His.

    I've been T1D all my life (37 years). - Insulin pens are the way to go, but I keep vials in my cooler in car at all time. I always bring two short acting, one long acting pen. I bring 30% more needles than needed. I bring 25% more energy than needed - Clif Shots have been the best. I have great communication methods just in case. (Inreach, etc) If your legs feel weird, check your blood sugar. If you're tired, check your blood sugar. If you're cranky, check your blood sugar. My big thing is when I start getting confused easy - typically low blood sugar.

    Owning both v1 and v2, what I love most about v2 is the dark inner tent floor. This makes it MUCH easier to figure out where the inside and outside is on the tent when you're rushing to lay it out and get it pitched before the rain falls. I used the v2 for 13 days straight last summer and was surprised at how often I appreciated this feature. I'm a v2 fan for sure.

    Interesting comparison especially the vent comments. Note that the original 2p had the vent on the long axis while all the 1p v1, the 1p v2, and the 2p Pro have the vent on the short axis. The problem with the vent on the long axis is it's harder to get to from the inside. The 1p v1 fixed that by putting the vent on the door side or short axis. Then the new 1p v2 some how got the zipper too far up as you noted diminished the vent size and function. Did you notice that the 2p Pro has the vent changed back to the 1p v1 style. It will be interesting to see how it is implemented on the 1p Pro; my guess is back to the way it was on 1p v1 style. Thanks for the comparison it was interesting, wonder if there will be a 1p v3 to return to the better vent style.

    • @wildernessmenistry
      @wildernessmenistry 2 роки тому

      It would be nice if the 1P Pro has a vent similar to the 1P V1. We had the opportunity to test out the 2P (not Pro). While it was a bit more fiddly to set up since we were used to the 1P we can see where the 1P V2 got many of its new features from.

      Thank you for the comment. We're hoping to get a "hacks for the V1" video out in the near future which will highlight improvements that can be made to the V1 -- taking the best of both versions-- that cost little to no money and add impressively insignificant weight (grams).

    Great comparison! I've got the V1 too and it's nice to get a better look at what I'm missing or in this case, not missing with the V2. Though mine was also among the first ever batch to ship which had an issue with the grommets where the trekking pole tips go being too wide for some pole tips and thus putting too much tension on the fabric on the other side and causing a small tear on the outer fabric at the peaks. Easily fixed though with a small patch and modifying the grommets with some narrower rubber grommets inserted into the original grommets.
