Thank you this was really helpful 😊just taken my first Durston out here in the UK 🇬🇧 and wanted to fold it and roll rather than stuff! BW, Sarah

This is how I fold bed sheets. Husband still is baffled.

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

😂😂😂 I haven't tried that but will have to give it a try!

You should actually stuff your tent because when you continuously fold it the same way over and over again it weakens the waterproofing and the fabric + it is easier to stuff it

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

@@dipalmafamily981 yes, precisely why I choose this method

[@danvk3ndg104]

Great video! I just bought my xmid 2 so this was very handy. Did you cut your Tyvek to civer just the inner floor or did you include the vestibules? Cheers, Dan

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

Thanks, Dan! I cut it in a rectangle to include the vestibules. I use the Tyvek kite material, it's a little lighter than the house wrap at about 5oz.

[@tomnoyb8301]

"28oz; can't beat it?" Xmid Pro 2 - 21oz. One can only imagine what Xmid Pro 1 will weigh?

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

I'm sure it's lighter. I prefer double walled tents though. Thanks for watching and your comment.

[@texmexia49]

Can’t beat it without spending a house payment, lol.

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

@@texmexia49 my tent was $240. The pro versions are MUCH more.

[@kevinmcgennan8110]

I genuinely do not understand why you would fold a non dyneema tent. Stuffing is is so much easier and quicker. I use a Sea to Summit compression dry bag which will reduce the volume to half that of the sack that the tent comes in. Yes it is heavier. I carry a smaller compression dry bag for the inner which is used when packing the inner first in wet conditions. Yes extra weight again. I live with it.

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

I keep my inner and outer attached all the time, so folding and rolling it is the quickest way for me to open it back up and not get tangled. No stuff sacks. If it's wet I put it in there outer mesh pocket on my pack until I can dry it (or have to set it up wet again).

[@MarmaladeOutdoors]

This would not be a good way when the tent is soaked from rain or condensation. You would be soaked but otherwise good info thx

[@BabyStepsOnTheTrail]

Thanks! When it's wet I do the same thing but usually put it in the back mesh pocket of my pack. I use a Nyloflume liner bag so I can put it inside if I really want to.
