I just ordered the minipeak xl pro. Have the minipeak, octopeak, summer inner and bathtub floor. Love the luxe outdoors products.
Agreed! They make excellent products. If the door were taller on the octopeak it would make that tent 10x better than it is. It is a great tent, but I hate that door lol.
There are few channels that give me the joy yours does.
That is kind of you to say. I am glad to hear you enjoy the channel as much as you do. Thank you for letting me know. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Justin, well done comparison. Great tents !
Thanks.
Thanks, happy holidays !
Same to you! Thank you
They both look really nice. Merry Christmas Justin.
A Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
I've mine for years now, too. And I can torally admit. This is my favorite tent, too.
They are awesome tents. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours. Thanks for sharing. Always good to hear feedback from others! Happy hot tenting this season!
I hope you and your family had a great Xmas and New year.
All the best from New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you very much! We had a great holiday season . Same to you!
Wow, it almost got me to buy one. It's just not quite cold enough here. Nice review.
Almost...lol
That tent looks great. I was thinking of going with a Pomoly but went with this instead
you made a good decision! These are awesome tents I hope you enjoy it
No waffling. Vey nice review.
What is waffling?
@@ItsGoodintheWoods It's similar to as "blethering".
Saw a dude who added his own removeable snow skirts, his set up was far nicer than the company made one.
I always appreciate crafty.
I just got the XL, in a closing down sale in the UK, but the pro was sold out. Sale ends end of May 2024, so be quick !
Is a UK distributor closing? If so which one?
Cool video man!
Thanks man! A Merry Christmas to you and your family
Great review. I own the mini peak xl because of you. lol I wish I had the pro. I bank snow up and doing a dig out works well just need to make a custom pole. Keep the camera rollin I enjoy all your videos.
Right on! I was looking for your channel a week or so ago...I was searching coyote chris.lol
Just subbed ya bud
@ItsGoodintheWoods Thank you bro !!
Hey Justin. How is everything man? I bought the MegaHorn ||| two years ago, according to my experience in these two years it’s a very nice tent. Happy holidays
Thanks for the info! The Megahorn is a fun tent. I hope you get many more years of use out of it. Merry Christmas!
I need to put some miles on my Minipeak XL. Cutting down on drafts with the skirts on the pro probably helps eliminate the need to carry the extra weight on the winter inner I have. So.....outer is heavier but dropping the inner would be cool.
You can run the MPXL in the winter without the inner. I have done it a bunch of times. All you need is a ground sheet where you sleep. I Prefer it actually. But the skirts will absolutely raise the comfort level. I will probably use the inner above tree line though.
I find the single bathtub floor footprint to work out great. I don’t use the inner. Using a stove , it works out great. The MPXL will now be a fair weather shelter, ands my MPXL Pro with the skirts will be for winter. Just fantastic shelters ! Cheers !
We need to have a hot tent extravaganza sometime! lol@@MeetMeOutside
@@projectknifehand Sounds good !
ready when you guys are! need a break myself, so you crazy kids say the word!@@MeetMeOutside
Hot tents interest me, but I haven't gone down that rathole yet. I need to dial in my winter hammocking more first.
I am looking forward to the winter hammocking this season as well.
How is the sylicon caulk sealant holding up? I'm very much considering buying this tent but I worry that the PU coating (since the tent istnt sylcoated) wont work with the sylicon caulk for seam sealing. Thanks in advance !
The silicone caulk method has worked great. I sealed this tent years ago, and it is still keeping the rain out.
The snow skirts will cut down on drafts, but will also minimize ventilation and increase condensation. Low vents, which can be adjusted to control ventilation, would be a welcome upgrade. They would have to be high enough to minimize the ingress of spindrift, though, decreasing their effectiveness. A wood stove would minimize condensation issues in the worst conditions, but, without one, it is likely to be more persistent with the snow flaps permanently sewn in. Maybe a zip off option??🤔
I tend to agree. I never really needed snowskirts. But they are nice to have. The snow skirts have tie outs, so you can roll them up out of the way. Or open them up where you may want some air to come through. You can also adjust airflow with one of the doors. I think there are plenty of options to keep the airflow going.
On the mpxl pro, do you think I could fit two people with a stove?
It can be done, but it is going to be a tight fit
I don't understand....2 years ago you've said that you are done with Luxe tent....no more promotion....Should I considered buying or not a tent from this company ?
I said I was done with Luxe hiking gear. They were the North American distributors for Luxe Outdoors. Luxe hiking Gear has since been terminated for sketchy business practices. . I made a video about it. North America now has a new distributor, Three Ridges Gear, and they are great! I have no problem at all recommending Three Ridges Gear Co. Jim is doing a great job.
👍
Thank you
Do they have a loop on top so i could pitch it with a guy line instead of a pole if I want?
An excellent question! Yes they do! Although I have yet to do it, so I can't vouch for the durability of the loop. I am going to have to give that a go. Thanks for bringing that up.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods no problem. That will be 3 dollars.
Go Pro or dont go! Hahaha great stuff. That snow skirt would be a game changer. Merry Christmas bud.
The snow skirt will come in handy!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Does the xl have the stove jack as well
Yes, he pitched it the opposite way so it's on the left side. You can see it at 3:10
It does.
Thank you nice
Ugh.. I have a Mini Peak XL and I've used it a total of 0 times. 😂 maybe when I'm 50 at this point. Lol at least I have one before they're gone then.
🤣
