(TAS) Swap - Exped Sirius 2 for solid one person tent.

[dannydanny]

Hi,

I'm looking at downsizing my Exped Sirius 2 tent for something such as a Macpac Microlight or something else lighter and smaller - I'm mostly doing solo walking and the Exped is just a bit too heavy and big for me when I am by myself. I'm in launceston.

Cheers.

So what's the state-of-play with this ? I sent a PM not long after the ad was posted and no reply and I see that merlin & tibboh have done so also. Would've been nice to have the courtesy of a response at least but the silence has been deafening. Calling Dannydanny.....are you there ?

Looking at the profile page it seems Danny has not been back on the site since it was first posted.

I've been wondering the same thing sambar.

Another two weeks now and still not a word.

Yep Merlin.....I've give-up on Danny-boy and his Exped Sirius tent. The old saying "when something appears too good to be true....then it probably is" springs to mind with this one. I ended-up buying a Exped Venus 2 in the meantime and it looks the goods to me. I actually had a look at a set-up Syrius in Mountain Designs in Melb today.....good looking very roomy tent but BIG....quite long and it'd a squeeze setting it up in a few of my favourite winter haunts I think so Danny not replying may have been a blessing in disguise me-thinks. Cheers

Thanks for the info on that sambar.I have actually been looking a bit more myself as I'd pretty much given up hope of hearing from Danny. I'll check out the Venus, Cheers.
