I recently picked up this tent, but I feel like I'm struggling to pitch it correctly. I haven't had it out on the trail yet, but I'm practicing pitching it in my backyard. I have the trekking poles set just a bit over 48", but the bathtub floor doesn't seem to want to stay up. Any help would be appreciated. I can take additional images if the ones I posted aren't helpful.
I don't know where to ask this, and if this violates the rules, just delete this.
I have a trekking pole sent, Zpacks Duplex Pro, and I'm looking for some help in determining if I'm pitching it correctly. I've watched the Zpacks videos, and some other YouTube videos about pitching it but I'm still not sure I'm doing it right. Could someone point me in the right direction? TIA.
I'm looking for an overnight trail in western half of the state. I was thinking about the North Country Trail at Moraine, but they don't allow tents. I live fairly close, so that was my first choice, but I'm looking for other options.
I was planning to purchase a pair of Ridgelines, but once I saw they were on sale for Mother's Day, it was a no-brainer. I was still on the fence between '64 Brown and Weathershield, but the 4-6 week production time vs the 10-14 week production time sold me. I'm going to contact CS and see if they're willing to do these in roughout, as it wasn't an option, but if not, then that's ok.
After 254 days from order to delivery, I finally have my hands on these beauties. Can't wait to give them a whirl. I'm interested in how the D width fits in the HNW vs my E widths in the 55.
I'm planning on purchasing a pair of Ridgelines in the very near future, and I'm looking for opinions on the leather options. I'm going to be using these primarily as my hiking/backpacking boots.
The options that I have settled on so far (leading contender at the top) :
I've heard that a few users around here have these boots in some of these leathers, so their opinions on water resistance, breathability, break-in, etc., would be appreciated. Although anyone with these leathers could chime in, that would also be very helpful as well.
Just received an email telling me that my ND1s have shipped. Pretty unexpected, considering they went from started to shipped. Not sure why I didn't get the other status updates, but I'm not complaining.
Be prepared for some ND1 gym pics in the near future!

After 4 days in the backcountry, my Bobs are itching for some weight.
