Hi 👋 I would say the main differences are that the TAIJI will go up more easily and will be more likely to retain the original pitch without adjustments - the lanshan will however be much lighter and take up much less space in your pack. Comfort wise I’d go for the TAIJI. If I was going long distance and didn’t want to carry weight I’d go for the lanshan. 👍🏻

Hey Lisa. What I said was that this was going to be a better tent for me to get for use this winter because the Durston inner has too much mesh for a Scottish winter. Too draughty. The Durston will I’m sure come out with a solid inner at some point though like they did with the XMid. Cheers 🙂

@@campingcaledonia76I’ve used the pro for most Scottish trips in winter , have you seen people in USA -20 using single walked tents. Regardless though your passing judgement on a tent that hadn’t been released and you haven’t even tried it.

@LisaTheWanderingGeordie I get what you’re saying but you’ve missed that I was saying that the Taiji will be better… for me! Just because of the solid inner. The inner for now on the Durston is mainly mesh - I also mention in the video that of course the XDome is going to be a brilliant tent! 🏕️

Thank you!! I’m 5’10” or 177cm and there is more than plenty head/foot room for me 😊 Manufacturers state the interior length is 212cm. Height to inner ceiling 95cm.

@campingcaledonia76 Thank you! The Chinese often understate the actual length in the description, that's why I asked 👍

@GenaSpesivtsev Always happy to talk wild camping and tents! Cheers 🙂

​@@campingcaledonia76 Very good! Wild camping is my favorite topic 🙂

@@pueblo1960 Hey 👋 Thank you for those kind words I really appreciate that. I’m not hands on familiar with the Mier tents but had a little look online and the same will apply by the looks of things 🙂👍🏻

Cheers Mark 🙂 Aye the xboil is a brilliant little stove, I’ve used it tons, was just making a quick morning cuppa and the pot sat on fine without clipping it up. Versatile! You’ll see from a few previous vids I’ve got it clipped up fine 🤣 The Durston comparison was about the mesh/solid inner and also pretty tongue in cheek! As I said in the video the X-Dome will be a brilliant tent 👍🏻

@ not too bothered either way. Just a bit too click baity titling for me. Having said that, you made a good vid and open case and I’ll check some others out. The xdome will end up like the xmid anyway, choice of inners ultimately

@@markl2815 Thanks, I appreciate that and I do hear you Mark re the click bait thing. I’m actually on the same page as you with regard to that when it’s blatantly dishonest. The solid inner option when it comes (and it is coming) will be far more suitable for camping in the Scottish Highlands. All the best! 👌🏻

If you actually listened to what I’d said you’d know that I said the Durston was going to be a brilliant tent. What I did say was that it isn’t for me, for now. Sorry you’re unsubscribing but it’s not my fault you’re hard of understanding pal. All the best 🙂

Eh.. just look at the title of the video! .. I understand perfectly. well.

@ Look closer at the title. Listen to what I actually say in the video. You’ll understand better. Sorry I’ve annoyed you Mr JTRavers69 but you’ve fairly made your point and I’ve responded. Enjoy the rest of your day 😊

@campingcaledonia76 yeah, title says Better Than X-Dome. You know full well that just using that in the title will get the algorithms going your way. I stand by my comment. Have a lovely evening and good luck with the channel.

@JTRavers69 Thanks man. Yes you’ve got to play the game to get anywhere I’m afraid. A lot of time and effort goes into making these YT videos and wee channels like this will get lost unless you do what you can to boost engagement. There’s flagrantly dishonest clickbait out there which annoys me too - but this video was more tongue in cheek. Durston will be fine 😆 I’m looking forward to seeing the solid inner on the X-Dome by the way. As I did say, twice, in the video, it’s going to be a brilliant tent. Cheers 👍🏻

@@wulliescottishoutdoors Thanks Wullie the sub is really appreciated man! Slowly building the numbers 😆 Yeah it’s a good wee tent I’ll get a lot of use out of that one. Cheers 🙌🏻

@@campingcaledonia76 no problem mate

Cheers man, not missing the point though I was just saying the X-Dome isn’t for me, for now 🙂 A solid inner on the Durston will be a marked improvement for the climate here.

@@gavinwallbank7570 Delighted you took the time to tune in Gavin, really appreciate it. Aye that is a really simple but effective wee mod, did it on my Lanshan 1 as well. I got the idea from Long Suffering Hiker’s channel. He has tons of mods! You’ll like the Taiji 1, enjoy! 😊 ⛺️ 👌🏻

Yes the temps are falling for sure Rod. Thanks man.

Hi Andrew thank you for visiting the channel. I would and did choose the Taiji as an alternative to my Bobcat but I don't think there's a huge difference between the Taiji and the Helm, I've never owned a Helm so can't speak from experience on it.. You'll save money getting the 3FUL and also get a groundsheet included. The material on the Helm is big denier poly vs 15D ripstop silicone coated nylon on the Taiji. Out of the two I'd say the Helm will withstand the highest winds, but the Taiji will hold it's own too. See Andrew Park's video for a walking pole hack to strengthen wind resistance. Helm 4000HH v 5000 on the Taiji. I think the Taiji is better looking and the brown version blends into the environment better. The Helm is a tad heavier too. Either tent will fit the bill though. Thanks again, let me know which tent you went for 🙂⛺

Was lucky to get really good weather! 🌦️

Thanks Stig! 🇳🇴 That’s really appreciated 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍🏻

@@stigfloberghagenphotography Have subscribed to your channel, looks good 🏕️ 🏔️

@@campingcaledonia76 👍🙂

Hey Karen 👋 I'd definitely recommend the Taiji as an addition to the KGW collection! It packs quite a punch for a wee tent. Feels roooomy. I'm quite excited to see the UK UA-camrs reviews on the X-Dome too. Thanks you! 😍⛺

@@campingcaledonia76 I’m about 6’ so length and height always worry me but this does look quite sizeable 😜😂🤣😂

@@ksgonewild 😆 I'm 5'10" and I think it's more than big enough inside, the tent 😆 👍

@@campingcaledonia76 ah good to know thanks! I’ve dropped you a sub by the way, I have many Scottish friends and they recommended you so I look forward to watching more of your vids 🥰 have a great weekend!!

@@ksgonewild Thanks so much for the subscription, I'm slowly building towards that magic 1000 mark so your sub is hugely appreciated! I've subscribed to you too - tbh I thought I already had when I was looking to get my CP2 tent and I'd watched your vids. Thanks you! 🙌

Thank you! We enjoyed that little adventure 😃 🌲

Deadman anchors will solve that problem (re: pegs in the frozen ground) so long as you have snow.

Aye my bro has the X-Mid solid too. Absolutely brilliant shelter 👌🏻

and hopefully alloy poles too !

@@ALochOnTheWildSide Yeah I don’t have the local knowledge, was blissfully unaware of the bunker 🤣 It’s a pretty cool area, never been before. The crags to the east of where I was looked pretty cool too. Will deffo be back and I’ll deffo give you a shout. Cheers 👌🏻

@@campingcaledonia76 Aye give me a shout if you wan to go around the front crags proper and maybe a snow camp around the forests/reservoirs behind them...👍👍

@@ALochOnTheWildSide Yeah man good shout! ⛄️ Decent wee flat bits up on the crags to park a wee tent aye?

@@campingcaledonia76 Hunners of places Jamie - but fairly busy in summer (with walkers not tents) due to the closeness of Glasgow...but there is many a quieter bit...😜👍👍

That will be helpful 🙂

@campingcaledonia76 . Sorry to ask again pal but I come to you as you are a bobcat user too. I am wanting a robust 1 man tent that isn't too heavy but more room than the bobby. I was torn between the helm 1 or the Taiji 1 however I have noticed that the 3f UL has just dropped to £109 or £1@9 for 4 season inner. That is nearly 100 cheaper than the helm. I like a budget but is it a belter for my needs. Basically I am torn to save up for helm or give this a go as not to many reviews on this but lots on the helm but it is older.

@andrewstennett3186 I’d say go for the Taiji and pocket the difference 💰 🙂 I’m sure the Helm is great and you’d be happy with it… but I own a Bobcat and a Taiji and and I’m more than happy to never buy a Helm. I think the Taiji is better looking too. Enjoy new tent day when it comes whatever one you go for 😊 🏕️ 👍🏻

@@andrewstennett3186 It's only so low now because it's Black Friday! The price will return to the original price in December.

SF, where the Pacific meets the sky! Hope it’s all going well out there bro 😎 Thanks for watching, don’t forget to smash that like button and subscribe and hit the bell to blah blah blah 😆

Cheers Dougie 👍🏻

Yeah man some local knowledge!! Cheers Doug 👌🏻

@@campingcaledonia76 Well I got yer spot when you were still in yer sleeping bag! LOL. It's a fantastic area.

Aye you guessed it just from an Instagram fotie right enuff! 👏🏻 😆

Ah magic stuff Craig, gotta love a brand new tent like! Cheers man 👌🏻

@campingcaledonia76 yeah, I needed more space. I have an alpkit soloist which I love but it's a bit on the tight side of things haha

I’ve never had any Alpkit stuff but I like the look of it. It’s nice to have a bit of room to move in a wee tent right enough 😆

@@campingcaledonia76 bombproof and lightweight but just really small.

@@galavantinggav7025 It’s not quite as robust as the Bobcat Gav but it makes up for that with its living space 👌🏻

@@campingcaledonia76 glad your getting out again 👍

@galavantinggav7025 Getting colder now. I like it. Need to remember my gloves though, eejit 🧤 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s all relative! 😆 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👌🏻

@@campingcaledonia76 Yeah true also 😄 I’m my thinking under one kilogram tents can be considered as ultralight.

@@vonheiz I hear you. Compared to big lumps of tents I’ve used in the past, sub 2kg is ultralight for me. Folk that just use a light tarp and bivi will think vonheiz’ gear is too heavy and the person just using a bivi will be saying a tarp is too much! True ultralight is just sleeping naked outside 🤣

@@campingcaledonia76 Yeah true hiker don’t need gears 😄

@@vonheiz 🤣👌🏻

Totally agree with you Andrew, I absolutely adore the Bobcat. I like it so much I forgive the really small sleeping area. The Taiji 1 is FAR roomier inside and while I don’t think it’s as bombproof as the Bobcat, it’s going to withstand a decent amount of heavy wind and rain. Not crazy weather but in ‘normal’ bad weather it’ll be fine. Thanks for watching fella ⛺️👌🏻

That's brilliant Jim, it's a lovely wee spot - nice views out over the Loch onto the Galloway Hills - although I didn't see much of that on my last outing! The boot covers are great aren't they? Just about long enough to get you in the boat with dry feet and much less cumbersome than wellies. Were you in the X100? 🛶 👍

@@campingcaledonia76 No I was in Alpacka Caribou Packraft and slept I Hilleberg Akto tent.

That’s a very nice setup! I’m hoping to get out for another paddle camp somewhere before too long - just having a think as to where.

@@campingcaledonia76 I’m originally from East Kilbride but live down south now near Chesterfield so don’t have any I can recommend up your way sorry.

@@jimbland4560It’s cool, part of the fun is finding new places 😊

Hi Craig. It’s the Durston X-Mid 1 durstongear.com/products/x-mid-1-solid 🙂👌🏻

Great idea, they’re good little tents with a few simple mods! 💡 🤓 Thanks 🤩

@@goate666 ☺️ Just went and measured the poles for you. LWH 38x8x8cm folded. Thank you for watching 🤩

@@campingcaledonia76 that sounds perfect thanks very much for this 👌

Well it sounds like you’re going to give it a real test. Have a great time on your adventure and thanks for watching 😃👌🏻

How did you find tent in wind? (Assuming you've been on your trip) Been to Sweden a few times but never had the opportunity to camp there, it's beautiful.

@@chazphot couldn’t test it to the limits as it was extremely cold (-13°) and I pushed myself to reach all sorts of shelters to not having to pitch my tent in these freezing conditions. The times where I slept in the tent it wasnt particularly windy.

@@MoosebearAdventures Thanks! 🤩 Delighted you tuned in 🙌🏻

楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです。ありがとう 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇯🇵

@@mananddog.outdoors That’s great man, thank you so much for tuning in. Have subscribed to your channel too 👌🏻

@@chrisf5475 Aye it’s a funky wee beat isn’t it? 😆 Thank you for tuning in Chris 👌🏻

1560g trail weight not too shabby weight wise for a double skin exoskeleton 1 person tent with decent spaced 4 season inner 👌🏻

Aye it's a wee belter of a tent, really like it. It's not perfect like but what tent is? I'll be using it a lot in the colder months. I did get wet feet, thanks for your concern Gav! 😆

Fantastic. I'm a customer of Camperlists and have had very good service. Thanks guys ⛺

Your prices including tax are always the best

Great tent for the price. It is so easy to set up and lightweight to carry. I have used this in downpours and the rain fly kept me and the ground underneath me bone dry. Highly recommend for the low price compared to name brand tents!!

@OdetteLausell Thank you so much for visiting my wee channel. I am quite impressed with what the tent offers too. Excited to get more out of it 🏕️🤩

The extra accessories really help.

You know it. The main reason I try to reduce the space and weight of kit is to secure more space for noodles and beer 😆

🤣Aye it's pretty easy to get it up! Thanks for watching Pete 🏕

Yes, was lucky to be able to get hold of the Taiji 1 so early. Will get the craic with you re the tent before long fella. Thanks for watching! 🙌

It’s PDG, not perfect but will be a brilliant little tent. 🏕️ 👌🏻

Nice khaki bungee BTW.

😂 G’day mate. Fair dinkum I’d not heard of that one before you’re right 🦘

Yes absolutely hence me mentioning him twice and crediting him 😆

Thanks Arnstein and thanks for taking the time to tune in. I’m currently watching your Lindworm video. Incredible location 🤩

Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful 😀👍🏻
