MLD Duomid ultralight 2-person pyramid shelter plus inner

  

Here's my MLD Duomid that I have had since new for about 7 or 8 years. This is a serious backpacker/bikepacker ultralight shelter that you can pitch very quickly. Once you get the hang of it, you can be under cover in about 2 minutes. It is completely bombproof and has seem off some truly awful weather that would have shredded some of the ultralight tents I've had over the years.

This is marketed as a 2-person shelter, and if you're both on the shorter side you'd be fine. It's only ever been me in it (and the dog every now and then) and for one person it is enormous.

I've been very thankful for all the room on many occasions, stuck in there in heavy rain with enough space to safely cook and sit up. This is the DCF version, which weighs about 500g with guys.

I had to repair a tear on one corner when a kid tripped over it running through a campsite in France, but otherwise it's in very good condition. You can see the patch on the front left side of the tent. I bought the 2-person inner separately about 5 years ago ahead of a trip to Midgeland and wish I'd got the one person version, as the 2-person one here is a bit of a faff to set up inside. You would only need it if the midges were about or you wanted an integrated ground sheet. I think I've only used it a dozen times as I prefer the ease of the single skin tent and using a simple Tyvek groundsheet. If I can find that, I'll chuck that in the package. The tent comes with a genuinely scary strong custom carbon fibre pole set that breaks down into 30cm sections, and what I call a tent pole mushroom, which a techie mate of mine designed and we had 3D printed to go on the end of the pole to protect the fabric of the tent. It has 8 titanium pegs and a couple of alu v-pegs that will hold better in really strong winds. Lastly, you can have the fabric repair kit I bought to fix the tear on the corner. It's a really versatile shelter. The pics show it pitched with the skirts higher which allows a lot of ventilation. You can pitch it much lower, even remove one of the pole sections, to get the skirts right on the ground and a really low profile. It also pitches a lot tighter than in the photos. I was feeling lazy this morning. The lot packs down much smaller than the photos too. I used to keep it in all in a drybag with an air release valve and get it down to about 6ltr size. Yes, I did the maths. Basically my back and knees don't work so well these days and "camping" to me now involves a converted campervan in a forestry car park with the blackout blinds drawn huddled down while the dog stinks up the space with her breath.
