    Some good bits of kit there mate. I’ve just upgraded the nx to a freelite 2
    Weighs the same as the nx but it’s two man. Do like the msr tents!

    Great base weight and like the features of the OMM but i'm happy with my Exos. Saw quite a few Big Agnus tents being used on the Way but also believe they may have a condensation issue so would love to see a review. Looking forward to seeing how lost you got in the second part of your EHW trip, lol

    You did very well there with bringing your weight down, looks like you have learnt where to shave off the grams from your previous multi day hikes maybe?
