Here's what I do with my pillow. I put a grommet at each end of a buff and tie a stretch cord between them. I slide my pillow into the buff and wrap the cord around my pad. Works pretty good.

Great winter gear loadout! I’ve done my quilt without a stuff sack and with and I’m the same way as you…I much prefer organization in my pack and just prefer using a sack. Plus a little extra piece of mind keeping it dry. Thanks for sharing.

Great loadout video. Patiently awaiting my xmid pro2. Had to have one to rock with my Kakwa 40. I'll probably still choose hammock over ground for most trips, but I like having options and extra gear to share if needed.

Excellent load out. I've had the x-therm for at least 5 years and still live it. Mines a bit noisy.

Nice Taylor! I'm team stuff sack for your quilt all the way. I don't believe the talk on it taking up less space in your pack. You need to jam all your stuff super hard to get it to fit the right way. Total sell out on the X-Mid! 😝

I have the XMid 2P (non-Pro) and I love it. It’s been a struggle to keep myself from buying a Pro. The specs are basically the same, aside from the DCF and obviously the weight.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking into neoprene socks or sealskinz since the rivers and creeks are so high here now. I just picked up a 10L dry sack and I might stick the HG quilt in there along with the pillow and sleep hood. I'm starting to compartmentalize more too instead of stuffing everything in the nylofume bag.

I just love to have total organization and contrary to what some say I can’t get a quilt to compress well outside the sack. 😆

You always give me good ideas. Thanks! It’s good to know on the water resistance of the AH Ultra. It never rained enough to find out on my thru but I always use a pack liner. I like the idea of using the ECOPAK for your quilt. I’ve been using the one my Revelation came with. Looks like I’ll be giving Ben some more business. Thanks again and keep on moving!✌️

Nice load-out. If I was to ever go back to the ground I think the Xmid would be at the top of my list of tents I'd consider, very innovative.

Great load-out ... love the XMid but I think I still like my DR LI better (a little more spacious and wider and has a bit more headroom). But having two lightweight tents has come in handy, so my mom's pack can be lightweight as well! Definitely interested to see how the NXT pad holds up ... I've got the XTherm max and it's kept me warm into the single digits but it's definitely tempting to invest to get that 3" thickness. Does the pot you've been using have ounce/liter markings on the inside of it?

I think honestly your getting extra room period with either tent. They are both very roomy tents! And it does! I wouldn’t buy one that didn’t. 😂😂
