I ordered a few things from them 3 days ago, but beyond the usual order confirmation email, I haven’t heard anything.
My order seems to be stuck in the “Waiting for details” phase and emails to their customer service team have so far gone unanswered, so I’m not sure what to do.
They look legit, but I can’t be absolutely sure. My gut tells me something is off, but I can’t put my finger on why.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Are these guys a legitimate company?

I'm hiking the Laugavegur trail in August and have been looking at ways to cut down on pack weight.
While I love my MSR tents, I am growing increasingly concerned that the Elixir I was planning to bring will not be able to sustain the high winds I could potentially face. It's been great for camping, but this is a very different kind of trip. (It's also pretty heavy and carrying it for 4 days isn't something I'm excited about.)
I really like the idea of using trekking poles to pitch the tent (even though I've never attempted it!) to cut down on weight.
I'm seeing alot of great reviews for the X-Mid 1 and I'm hoping I could hear more about your experience with this tent in high winds, really bad weather and how it held up in stormy conditions.
Any reviews -- good or bad -- are welcome! I'm hoping to pull the trigger and get a new tent in the weeks ahead.
Thank you!
I'm hiking the Laugavegur in August and looking to upgrade my tent to something that can handle the high wind and wet conditions Iceland is known for.
The Durston X-Dome 2 seems to be a popular name thrown out here, so I was curious to find out if anyone has used this piece of gear in very windy and/or wet conditions, how it held up, if condensation build-up was an issue, etc.
Any reviews or feedback would be greatly appreciated! I'm looking to pull the trigger on a new tent in the next few weeks so that I can get used to carrying the weight in training hikes.
Thank you!
Rewind to December of 2024, I matched with a woman on Tinder. Super cute. Had kids, a good education and was down for pretty much anything. I planned all the dates, took care of logistics, etc etc etc.
Fall of 2025 rolls around, and we’re talking about what a future might look like, how we’d want to live together, what that could potentially look like and we’re starting to share expenses (I’m covering the cost of streaming services and splitting grocery bills because I make way more than her and I was staying at her place the weeks she didn’t have kids).
Everything is going great. I get along with her family, her kids and her friends. My kids have met the immediate people on her side and every is getting along.
We are aligned on how we communicate, how we want to handle disagreements, how we’d manage finances, how we’d support each other if things were difficult, how we’d divide and conquer the day to day if we lived together, and how we’d always promise to talk things out instead of shutting down.
I’m thinking she might be the one. I’m thinking I have finally found my person.
Fast-forward to Mother’s Day 2026. I made a brief comment about not being a big fan of the Kardashians (I’m paraphrasing). Her daughter loses her mind and starts yelling at me about how they’ve done all these great things. I’m sitting there absolutely bewildered at what’s going on. It turns personal when her daughter insults me. I walk away to avoid any further escalation.
Later that day, I sit down with her to talk about what happened and I’m shocked at what I hear.
“My daughter doesn’t want you around anymore.”
“There are days when I want to be single.”
“There are days when I want to be alone.”
“I don’t like you in my space.”
All of this is coming out of left field.
I’m absolutely FLOORED. I did not see this coming.
12 days go by. Barely any conversation. Morning phone calls and texts have stopped. No good nights, no how are you’s, nothing.
It’s like the lights have gone out and no one is home.
She ends the relationship on a Friday saying, “I need to make a choice for me.”
We get together Thursday and I asked her to explain what’s going on.
She says that she is feels happier being single and that she doesn’t need a person in her life to feel fulfilled.
Then why join a dating app?
“I didn’t think it was going to be this hard when we started dating.”
“I didn’t realize that I hadn’t healed from my marriage.”
“I have plenty in my life to keep me happy. I don’t need a man to do that.”
I have worked really hard to get myself to a point where I could trust someone in a relationship and this person absolutely wrecked that.
No one goes from “I love you more and more everyday” to “I want to be single” in 2 weeks. That’s a huge leap.
At this point, I’m starting to wonder if I should resign myself to staying single for whatever time I have left. Seems like it would be easier, with less disappointment and less stress.
Anyone else just tired of trying? I’m exhausted.
