Thank you all for your input. ?After reading reviews and watching tons of pitching videos, I have decided on the Durston XMid 2 Pro and the Bearikade Blazer. ?
?
On the backpack, I am torn between two packs, both are significantly lighter than my current Gregory Deva 60.
- Gossamer Gear Mariposa, which I would end up getting based on reviews and talking with other hikers I met on the trail, and which is pricier
- OR REI Flash 55, which I can try out at REI, is less expensive, but also 11 oz heavier
Do Durston, Bearikade, or Gossamer Gear ever have discounts or sales?
