Dezeen : Andblack Design Studio creates "permanently impermanent" events space in India https://www.dezeen.com/2023/09/05/darwin-bucky-dome-andblack-design-studio-ahmedabad-india/ #Parametricarchitectureanddesign #Prefabricatedbuildings #Modulararchitecture #Mobilearchitecture #Architecture #India #Steel #Tents #all

#Tents in #SF take up less of sidewalk than #trash piles in #NYC and are more attractive.

I was suppose to take the Durston X-Mid Solid 2P for a outing this weekend. But the delivery came in a couple of hours late, and the weather forecast turned really bad too, so the trip was postponed. I set it up on my patio just to get a feel for it.

I am really impressed by (1) the quick setup, (2) that it can be setup fly-first and without the inner and, (3) the amount of space inside the inner tent.

Given the additional tie-down options, I reckon it will just do fine in wind.

It is so much simpler to pitch than my Nemo Hornet and ddi g in the inner after fly is up is so much easier than the Vango Nito that I had.

DesignBoom : rafael amzallag’s compact and ultra-lightweight tent folds into the size of a 1.5 liter bottle https://www.designboom.com/design/rafael-amzallag-compact-ultra-lightweight-tent-folds-pantanal-08-24-2023/ #creativecamping #readers #design #tents

After a lot of reading, listening, evaluating I decided to buy the Durston X-Mid 2 Solid.

(1) From all reviews it seems to be in the top echelon of tarp tents when it comes to wind performance.

(2) Double-wall with 132cm-wide floor.
(Will see how much space there is in the vestibules after pitching, but it will definitely be more than the Nemo Hornet).

(3) I wanted better protection for the shoulder season and thus I took the Solid model rather than the standard X-mid version.

(4) I did not want to pay the DCF-based Pro version due to (a) price (b) smaller footprint (c) the weight difference is small enough for me.

I am either going to sell this off 2nd-hand to someone who has a better use case for it OR just keep it for some solo trips where I know the weather won't be bad.

4/4

(6) There is no way of cooking in the vestibule in a bad weather. Cooking needs to be outside and trying to run a half-zip on both he inside and the fly is tricky.

(7) Unlike some other models of tents, the zipper on the fly is unidirectional. It is very hard to peek at the weather conditions without getting wet, or letting water run into the inside.

(8) It does not like snow accumulating on the top. Yes, it is a 3-season tents, but sometimes now arrives at inopportune times.

My gripes are primarily about bad weather, but that is my primary use case for a tent. Therefore the Hornet just does not cut the mustard for me.

3/N

(3) The zip protector on the fly always catches on the zipper when closing from the inside. One has to always run a finger on the outside when closing.

(4) The vestibule is very small - yes. I've mentioned it before. It is not possible for a big person to try to get insdie the vestibule, close the zipper on the fly, then try to unzip the inside zipper. (and vice versa for getting out).

(5) if you had heavy rain, the rain gutters do not work well, and there is a good chance, that when unzipping the fly, water will run into the living area.

I'm pretty much done with the Nemo Hornet 2P.

It is well-manufactured and lightweight tent from a reputable brand, but I just have too many gripes with it.

(1) It is marketed as 2P, but in reality it is only suited for 1 person. If you are in a bad weather situation, you need to have everything inside the tent. The vestibule is too small to keep things dry. 2 people with all their equipment just does not do it - there is hardly any space to move around. Any tall person will end up either with their head or feet on top of a backpack.

(2) It is a fly-last pitch. It it rains will pitching, the small living space will get wet.

@alnetloc Although this is the Gossamer One, after watching this review, I think it suffers the same problem as the Nemo Hornet: The vestibule space is too narrow, which means rain/water can get in easily if the flysheet is unzipped. In order to take off wet outer layers, one has to partly sit inside the bathtub and not just the vestibule.

Large number of #tents in 50 knot (57.5mph) danger swath for #Typhoon #Khanun.

Hmm, I wonder how #tents do in torrential rainfall from a #typhoon?

Still on the trail for purchasing a new tent. Some of the ZPacks are candidates, but I still have questions:

- How well they hold up in wind?
- Because they are cooler, would one now need something warmer to sleep in? I.e lighter tent -> heavier sleeping bag/quilt.

A lot of people who rave about them tend to be thru-hikers, with access to reasonable sites to pitch a tent. If I look for where I would normally use a 3-season tent, the terrain tend to be uneven, stoney or clumps of stingy mountain grass.

I am tempted, but not convinced yet.

Suella Braverman's plan was quite rash
To house new migrants in a tent-filled crash
It'll save a few bills
Yet put many ills
On those seeking entrance to pass
