Enough is enough. The feuds between us lovers of hiking, backpacking and wild camping have got to the point where they must stop before we damage the outdoor gear Brands and the outdoor activities we love. Many of us have shown great passion for our beliefs and loyalty to the camping gear Brands we like. However, this has sometimes gone too far. In nearly all cases, this refers almost solely to Durston Gear and Hilleberg the tentmaker. Within these Brands it mainly comes down to differences of opinion with the Durston X-Mid and Durston X-Dome and Hilleberg Soulo backpacking tents. In addition, there has been conflict with ultralight backpacking gear ultralighters and some fans of Thermarest too. The vast majority of my comments on these backpacking gear Brands and products have been positive. However, being a reviewer, I must disclose my true thoughts and feelings to give a true representation of the Brands and products. Sometimes, I have gone too far. With a stressful full-time job and life, sometimes I nibble and sometimes I bite on comments received. In a perfect world of no stress, I would just ignore them and move on. However, sometimes it is difficult, especially if they occur regularly and I'm having a bad day. This does not make it right though. Moving forward, I would like to offer a truce to owners of the Durston and Hilleberg Brands. Let's draw a line and move on. I've said my bit and you guys certainly have to. If you are into your hiking, backpacking and wild camping please SUBSCRIBE @BackpackingUK Thanks, Andy. #hiking #camping #wildcamping
