Great video, thank you! I love the Flextail Tiny pump - never seen it before. I watched this last Friday, ordered the pump from Amazon (via your link, of course) and it arrived on Saturday, just in time to be charged up and used to "encourage" the BBQ charcoal, which it did really well. I reckon I could have melted the grill bars with it given a bit longer. And then as a bonus (ie: what I actually bought it for) I tested it as a pump on my Alpkit Cloudbase mat and it worked fine. The lamp is pretty good too, once you've worked out how to turn it on. Maybe I should have read the instructions? I'm sure I saw a YT comment from you somewhere a while back when you said you didn't understand the hype about the X-Mid "I'm not feeling it..." or something like that! Glad you decided to give it a try anyway. I've just used mine for the first time and I was really pleased with it, plenty of room for one person plus the two huge vestibules. My main concern was how it would behave in a wind but it was fine, despite some strong gusts coming off Ben Lui (I thought I'd picked a sheltered pitch) but it didn't budge at all, or even flap very much. Light and easy to pitch too.

Enjoy your coffees. I'd love to know your thoughts on the Notch (from your CWT) vs this X-Mid please? I'm considering lightening my load by getting one of those.

Cheers

Thanks for the coffees mate, I seen the email ping up a short while ago. The Notch is an excellent tent, and for the CWT where I was knackered and just wanted to cook my tea and go to bed, it was fine. But as you noted it is a bit coffin like, the Notch inner groundsheet is wider by 2" at the centre, but as you know it tapers at the head and feet, which I don't like as much and could feel a bit claustrophobic when you're chilling on a summit camp. The vestibule space in the X-Mid is more generous, I felt confident enough to sell the Notch when the X-Mid arrived. X-Mid takes up less room in your pack as it doesn't have the rods at either end. Both as equally easy to pitch.

I always wonder how people manage to fit so much kit in a pack. My body would appreciate me more if I just carried less.

@@WalkWithWallace yeah the soulo is heavy so is the synmat7 wide. Osprey packs are heavy too. And I’m probably 7-8lbs heavier than my happy weight

The SynMat I've got isn't wide and tapers at the feet, however you can buy rectangular ones. I've got one for winter and it's proper comfy. Soulo is a cracking tent, but probably overkill in a lot of situations.
