Holy cow! I was expecting mine to ship on 5/31 but I got the notice this morning (5/17 ... 2 WEEKS EARLY!!!) that my X-Mid is shipping!!! We're camping next weekend and I was thinking it wouldn't be here in time, but now it's totally possible. Super excited! Question for Dan: I have made DIY footprints out of Tyvek for my other tents, and even a "welcome mat" for my gear under my hammock (I mostly hammock camp). Do you have or have you seen any suggested patterns or designs for a footprint for the X-Mid? If not, I'll come up with something and post it on this discussion board.
gavainmGlad to hear these are shipping out early. For an X-Mid footprint, I've posted a diagram at the link below that shows the dimensions you'd need. So it's not a nicely developed pattern but a useful starting point. https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-dan-durston-x-mid-1p-tent/talk/2396543

dandurstonAwesome ... thanks Dan! I'm working up a layout for two footprint designs:
  1. Minimalist (weight conscious) for bathtub only.
  2. Bathtub + "wings" for vestibule areas.
I'll post the designs and pics once I've had a chance to work through them and make sure they work.

gavainmHi! thanks for a great tent, Dan. I’m only using the fly, but I’m super happy w it. Do you have the designs/ pics up for the foot prints? What do you think about using tyvek? Thanks!
ssstephcamWe offer a footprint for these tents here although we are sold out currently: https://durstongear.com/product/x-mid-1p-2p-groundsheet Tyvek is fine too. If you want to make your own the dimensions are here: https://drop.com/talk/31226/what-size-ground-sheet-should-be-used-with-the-xmid-2-p
