Duomid XL

-

So way back on the 28 Th June i placed an order with Ron at MLD,sadly this is wrong time of year to order,but while i was out this wknd it arrived


Im asking every one not to mention the horrid C word as i dont want them involved anymore than they are,if any one wants to know just message me 


It being a Cuben Duomid XL and an Inner,plus some spare pegs,just because i think there the best pegs out there for 80/90 % of the year








This is the Mld Duo xl inner ,i had asked Ron for a T zip and walls but sadly he said he was to busy to do custom work,im trying to find someone who might do it for me as we speak 


























This is my Oookworks inner 


Ive already had messages/emails and DM,s asking differnet questions so hoping these details will answer a few of them 



  1.  Duo xl no bag no guy lines on yet 493g,this includes an extra peg point i had Ron fit to the normaly closed panel                     
  2. I,ve cut 9 lengths of yellow cord at 24" each one weighs 3 g 
  3. Cuben Inner no bag 343g
  4. Inner W 48"  L 87"  H 52"
  5. Pole height 59" with edge to the floor 
  6. Ive ordered up some 2 mm cord as ive decided the 1.2mm stuff i bought will be too much of a faff to tidy up in winter 
  7. I plan to cut the corner guys at 60" and the mid panel ones at 40"
  8. Edit fully guyed outer is 549g that includes 3 1m panel guyines 4 1.5m corner guys and a 3m guyline following the main zip down, hat could also be attached to top loop and then pegged out .....guy line 2mm  at 3g per m









I was suprised just how well my Trailstar inner fit too 





Hope to be out on the hill with it soon 
Thanks for looking,Safe travels  Peter


So its had its first airing and i was asked to do a pitching vid to show the shelter,so here it is 


Heres a speeded up vid of me pitching the Duomid XL and the inner

Sweden DAY 7 2022,Backpacking above the Arctic circle line

-

Day 7 started cold with a good frost on the ground,so it was a breakfast in bed sort of start...The weather looked like another good day of blue skies   The very pointy shaped Drakryggen loomed up into the crystal blue skies Now on Day 7 food supplies were much less and very much smaller than when we had set of,today we had 1 pass left to cross to get us to the end of the JoJo trail section  But first we had to return back up the valley to where we had dropped into it,the views were amazing  The narrow ridge of Gaskkasbakti (2043m 6702 ft ) We turned East at the end of the valley crossing the bottom of this very impressive ridge                    First part of the pass ahead 👆 This section was stunning, with the eyes constantly drawn in every direction,this pointy peak was Giebmebakti,the dusting of snow kept us checking every footstep as we tramped along the frozen rocky terrain  The memorial to a helicopter crash ...

With another night time photo session it was weary heads that woke,the Trailstars "no door" option allowing us to see another good days weather was ready to great us    My cup sadly was cracked when i took it out of my pack on Day 1 off this trip,luckily some of Treadlite gears excellent Cuben tape sealed it perfectly  The day started cold again with a fresh wind but warmed as we followed the river and path down to the valley bottom Ive walked this valley section before on my first trip here and it was again alive with autumn colours,every shade of yellow was on display As this path serves the Kebnekaise Fjallstation and access upto the Tarfala science station/huts its a good path all wet sections well boarded over in the two plank style of these far Northern regions  It was on this section i got chatting to some folk,who turned out to be finishing and leaving there Science work at the Trafala station,they were surprised we had been over the JoJo trail,tell...

This years trip was to Sarek National Park in the far North of Sweden an,area protected with World heritage status.With mountains over 2000m and 100 glaciers,a place of  both long deep narrow valleys,but also wide flat high ones.Both of which  are criss crossed with wild rivers and glacier fed Lakes all joined together by miles of high alpine tundra and only 2 bridges in the park It took us a full day of flights and trains and taxis to get to Lulea where we met up with Christie Crowler who had just finished her walk,we were to meet Matt Holland,who was going to join us,but the bad weather and the big storm had him change his plans    Hotel was ok and close to the train staition,which we needed in the morning,so after grabbing our fuel off Christie (fanks again) we went to our room and got everything packed away We then all met up and went for tea as Chrissie told us of the storm they had caught at the end of her walk,she bumped into Dale too while out hiking  Th...
