The actual comment will come from my actual username with a verified checkmark after it ‘Dan Becker’. Do not be scammed by fake messages impersonating me! Only ONE winner will be selected as we only have one tent to give.

The fact that he was willing to have open dialogue about the “why” things are the way they are makes me like the style. I want this tent!

I love how much passion Durston puts into all of his gear, and how his contributions on ultralight forums are always so informative. I want that tent!

"I WANT THAT TENT!" It's awesome to see a small company resonate so much in the community and be able to deliver a product that easily exceeds almost all the competitors with what could be considered an ideal feature set!

Love how DB gives DD a chance to explain design choices and functionality! I especially appreciate the "functional 90 inches". Seems like the perfect tent for us tall guys, without the extra weight that comes with other oversized options. I want that tent!

THIS is how design should be done - by an expert with intense interest and desire to make something that he is proud of. Good job Dan D, and so happy that Dan B is doing well

Thank for taking the time to dive into it. It is always fun to see and hear the method behind the madness. I am 6'4" cool to see another big dude go over gear as well. It is very helpful to see that perspective! I want that tent!

I WANT THAT TENT! It's been amazing to see the conversation on why choices were made, and I can't wait to see what Dan comes up with next. I personally would be one of those people interested in a double-wall dyneema tent, so if you can just let me know when that comes around, that'd be great. Seriously though, thanks for all both of you do!

I want that tent. Great video D & D and the back and forth about the tent was fun. I've seen other youtubers using the Durston tent, but I didn't know much about it or the materials. The video really helped to explain its strength and the thought that went into the design. Glad you are feeling better Dan. I've been drinking electrolytes before and during my hikes since your rescue. It could happen to any of us and your experience was not in vain. It was a much needed PSA on the issue that I will take into consideration when I complete the Catskill 9 in a couple of weeks. Be well, my friend, and yes, I [still] want that tent. Thanks. 🐂🐻

“I WANT THAT TENT” Oh my goodness! As a woman in her 60’s who only discovered backpacking/hiking 4 years ago after watching the awesome UKposts content of people like Dan Becker and Dan Durston, it would be my absolute DREAM to own an X-Mid tent. Great video as always Dan, I hope you are continuing to recover following your scary illness, God bless x

I want that tent. Awesome to see a fellow Canadian continually making such big impacts in the community. This tent really seems to be a game changer and would love to be able to take it on my first ever backcountry trip and my first ever trip to Algonquin this summer.

I want that tent! I really appreciate you both for your discussions about your gear, the rationale behind it, and how you are trying to improve it/educate the community. I would really love to have the tent. Good luck everyone.

I want that tent! You can't even imagine how much I want to try this thing out for myself. Thanks so much for being awesome 😊

Durston is amazing. I got my hands on the latest pro2P and found a small issue when taking it down. The tie out points on the "pole corners" only have one bar tack holding the loop (despite having 3 par tacks on the single strand of grosgrain.) I popped the line lock off (blew the one tack) when pulling out my pole without loosening the corners first (be careful). Reached out to Dan and we had a short discussion about it, and he offered to fix it under warranty and consider more tacks for future tents. (I re-tacked it myself). Brilliant tent and even better service.

I want that tent I especially love the fun and inventiveness of the thought processes behind the gear. Good to see real entrepreneurs and enthusiasts interacting like this over something they are passionate about.

Hell yeah 'I WANT THAT TENT' Beside this contest, it's really cool to even learn so much more about tents and what to look for when finding the right one! Many thanks for you to show us all these video's!

I would absolutely love this tent Dan. I am a huge durston fan and Becker fan! Glad to see you doing better! I want that tent

Been a big fan of the original x-mid, and Durstons approach to design. So, yeah, I want that tent!

I want that tent! Been serving in the military 3 years now and want to go camping asap!!! Missing the outdoors as we get deployed constantly thanks for being a great UKpostsr Dan!

I WANT THAT TENT! Such a great video for the "behind the scenes" on gear. It was awesome to learn the thought process of why they chose certain materials, why it is setup the way it is, etc. And to hear it all from the man himself.

I really WANT and need THAT TENT! I mean I've only had one tent since 2015 and the poles are already bent, and the seam tape have already disintegrated but I am continuously using it since I love hiking and have more plans of hike in the future. I need the 'lightweightness' of the Durston because I am fairly small. The gears we have in here is 5 years behind so I'm positively sure that I''ll be the first to own a dyneema tent. But whoever will have this tent, I am sure that person will truly deserve it.

Thanks for introducing me to this brand, Dan! I’m a big fan of these smaller, owner involved, companies. Durston strikes me as the Tom Bihn of tents. I want that tent!

I want that tent! Just started watching your vids about 2 months ago, and you’ve been such a great resource as I begin my backpacking newbie journey. Excited to hit the road and see where the path takes me!

I want that tent!! Thanks Dan for the interview w/Durston, provided some great insight into the thought that went into the tent’s design.

Dan I want that tent!! I've been looking to lighten my pack weight and this is the perfect place to make some major changes, thanks for the opportunity!

I want that tent! It is a really neat tent and I appreciated your review of it! Keep up the good work!

I want that tent! Great video Dan. Loved the back and forth with the questions, provided some great insight into the decisions that went on behind the scenes!

Its so inspiring seeing how passionate the Dans are about this tent, really something special. I want that tent !!!

Would love the tent dan. I'm pretty new to backpacking but I absolutely love it and your videos!

I want that tent! Huge props to Dan for his outstanding products, customer service and dedication to the bacpacking community.

I want that tent! Love all the thought and real-world testing that he puts into these. They seem pretty awesome!

I want that tent! I love when people put true passion and innovation into outdoor products. Keep up the good work!

Would love the tent dan and I love your videos

Love hiking above tree line and am excited by the possibility of updating my gear. Young guys like Dan are revolutionizing backpacking.

I want that tent I appreciate how Dan Durston breaks down his thought process for all the design decisions that went into the tent.

I love my X-Mid 2. I'm 6'4, fit perfectly, and I love the "garage space" just outside the inner tent.

I want that tent! As a Canadian I love seeing Canadian designers and products crushing it out there on the trail. I'd love to take this tent on trail!

As a hammock camper, I don't want any tent. But it's great to see an excellent product come out of my homeland of Canada. Good luck winning one!

I want that tent! I love the thought process and details put into this design.

"I WANT THAT TENT"... I am about to upgrade my gear to start my solo hiking and I truly appreciate the honest conversation and advise from DB and DD... especially when light gear cost so much, you want to get it right. Best of luck to you both on your new ventures.

The Durston tents look great! It's interesting to hear the creator talk about the challenges of creating these tents. I'd certainly love to have the tent, but don't do Instagram.

I want that tent! Love hearing from Dan while going through the tent. This should be a new series when introducing new cottage gear and discussing it with the maker.

I want that tent, I have been studying UL tent options for solo thru hikers like me for some time and I have to say this is the best option by far out there, so big thank you to Dan and Dan such a good double act you are the best and hats off to you both for being so good at what you do.

I WANT THAT TENT! Glad you’re doing great and healing well Dan! Great video as always.

I want that tent! I like how the customer service and relationship with the company as the consumer is well built and communication and service is top notch.

I want that tent! Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos. They are very informative and fun to watch! My son and I have started backpacking with his Scout troop and your advice and reviews have been extremely helpful. (I'm just starting to backpack at 47 years old and hope to keep doing it!). Thanks!

I WANT THAT TENT. Love Dans enthusiasm and attention to detail. Tent looks amazing.

I want that tent! that one small dyneema loop to hang your head lamp is definitely something that can be easily added. Also I use two small rare earth magnets to hold my headlamp as well, works well, one on the outside and the other inside with a small loop.

I want that tent! Been watching Dan as I’m a relatively new backpacker and am always on the lookout for new information and advice from someone who knows their stuff.

I want that tent! This one really stands out from all of the competition. Love the easy setup, the crazy geometry that makes it so spacious yet so wind- and snowproof. I really appreciate when creators can design something so different and thoughtfull that is not just a brush off from someones elses ideas. The thing I love the most about the 1P is that it is even wide enough for ME... I don't compromise on good sleep out on the trail - so I use a 30inch wide pad as a sidesleeper even if it is a few ounces more to carry. Very few UL-1P tents can fit that properly. What I really hoped to hear though is an answer to the question if there will be a 3P version on it. When I am backpacking with my significant other (who also uses 30 inch pads) we'd really love to sleep in one tent together instead of two seperate ones - and I would be more than willing to carry the shelter for her since it would be a really lightweight one :) But the 2P version won't fit us both sadly... A 3P would be the GOLDEN choice for me - or shoud I say us... But I understand you can't serve everyones wishes. The light-hanging-loop would be a good one though ;) Dursten and his company - that is something I will keep my eye on. I look forward too see even more "crazy" ideas. If you allow yourself to be different good things might happen. Thanks for the short review... I really want one :)

I want that tent! Great video Dan, as always you provide excellent reviews. Can't wait to see you back on the trail.

I want that tent! Loved hearing the explanations behind the design decisions. Well thought out.

What a great video! I love in info and the up close look at the tent! Makes me want a Durston tent even more. I want this tent!

Grew up in Wisconsin for my whole life, it's awesome to see someone from wisco making great videos. "I want that tent"

I appreciate that the entire time you had your camera so all he saw was his tent not your face. It’s a pretty tent, I get it.

"I want that tent" I love the passion that Dan is putting into creating something unique and functional 😊

This is one of the best interviews I have seen! I love the way you bounced off each other! I want this tent! I am just counting the days to finish a contract so I can test drive My Mid X 2

I want that tent! Enjoyed listening to all the design considerations. Thanks for talking through the process!

I want that tent! It's incredible cool that this is basically a complete new idea of how a tent should be designed and constructed.

I want that tent - great video, i like the honesty with your beef, and the transparency from Dan Durston. Cool questions you asked him and to see how he came up with this awesome tent

I want that tent. Love the content - You're the first that I know of to do a video of this format. Dan Durston provided some excellent information.

Ooooh, that tent!!! I vant it! I have backpacked all my life but now find myself limited weight wise. I turn 79 in June and am still going strong but not as far or high as I want: can't carry as much as I used to. That tent would be a game changer! Knees and back would sing your praise!

I want that tent! Such a great and unique design. Low weight, small package, quick pitch, can't go wrong with that.

I want that tent. Dan Durston is much younger than I thought. What a creative mind. Regards from a 62 year old hiker from Denmark that need a Light tent

I want that tent! I've really admired the Durston tents for a while and just haven't been able to save up enough to get it for myself. Loved the video and hearing the dialogue, great work y'all :)

I love that tent - and the helpful overview. Dan and Dan rock!

Yesssss!!! I want that tent. Thank you Dan for your wonderful reviews and tips!

I would love to have this tent. Great video, can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

I want that tent. I’m a Park Ranger, and I’ve never really been into ultralight gear. But now that I’m a Park Ranger *sigh* over 40, I’m starting to look at ways to cut the weight on backcountry patrols. This tent is the dream when it come to keeping the weight off the joints. Thanks Dan & Dan!

I want that tent!! Really really love the transparency and the thought process behind the design! Wish I could afford one punching in the miles instead of lugging my heavy tent around!

I WANT THAT TENT! Glad to see such a great tent see some new updates

I want that tent. Absolutely love your videos and take all your advice with me out generally every weekend 🙌🏻

I want that tent. Really enjoy your videos and humor. Awesome tent and great video. Really neat to see a conversation with the designer on the logic behind the decisions. Well done.

I Want That Tent . I’m really new to all this gear and love watching your videos and learning the who what where and the why’s

I WANT THAT TENT !! Such a well thought out piece of kit that i would love to have in the backpack.

I want that tent!🎉 Amazing grass roots movement. Look at what design can be like when you start from scratch and work with the community. (and add a little Dan Dursten genius)

I WANT THIS TENT!!! (Really, Really Badly). Have bee researching great tents for the 4 pass loop and this one keeps coming up in ALL of the videos from content creators that I trust (and love).

I want that tent. Dan D. does amazing work and has such cool designs. Thanks for bringing his work to more people.

That was a cool video. Nice to hear the thought process about how the tent was made. I want this tent.

I want that tent. I just picked up one of his 55L backpacks and absolutely love how comfortable and light it is. I would love to complete the set with one of his awesome tents as well.

I want that tent! Honestly, love these videos and am looking forward to getting back out there this spring! Long live the Dans!

I want that tent! Great video - thanks for bringing us DD for the interesting interview!

I WANT THAT TENT!!! Durston is a visionary. I wish him success and blessings. This is a great creation and I'd love to own one. I also am looking at the Kakwa 55 backpack that he recently released. Yeah, we need more creators like Dan Durston. Also, thank you Dan Becker and Emmitt. Our hiking/camping experiences have greatly benefited from your content. Keep them coming.

I want that tent. I love the thought put into it

I WANT THAT TENT! My wife and I are just discovering the world of backpacking after a trip to Zion National Park and would be super blessed to receive some gear to get us started.

I want that tent! Also love the idea about a little loop for hanging a head lamp from.

I want that tent! Really looking forward to his new projects. Let's see what he comes up with.

I want that tent. Thanks for a cool format vid, that gave a ton of interesting detail on the tent's design and features.

I want that tent! Love the videos Dan, you’re an inspiration. I’d love to get out there and try the tent.

I WANT THAT TENT! Dan, love your videos and watching along your journey of all the various types of gear going from typical store brand gear to this fancy ultra light stuff. I'm still very much a backpacking novice as a Scoutmaster in mid Michigan. My base weight is way too heavy. I appreciate all the tips you provide and your honest thoughts on things you review. Manistee National forest in May, then Grand Island in June with the Scouts.

I want that tent. Love the Kakwa and this will pair so nicely together!

Thanks for the awesome videos, Dan! I have an X-Mid 2P, but I would absolutely love to have a 1P for my solo adventures! I WANT THAT TENT!! 😊

I WANT THAT TENT! Dan has produced some of the most affordable light and UL backpacking equipment that he has personally spent time developing and testing. I love all the products I've been able to add to my gear collection so far.

Great vid! I want that tent! Amazing to have a tent that has that much effort and thought into it

Definitely go with the Easton stakes in the future, I've used about every stake, and they are one of the best for sure!

I want that tent! You had me at radially symmetrical lol. I love how the design philosophy stems from a set goal and direct feedback from the people buying it

I want that tent! Thanks for sharing-- great interview with the Dan Durston Design Dept.
