My Locale Big Sky Country
About Me I have been backpacking on and off since the mid 80's. More on these past few years as I have gotten older. My packing is becoming my lifeline if you will. It provides balance and restoration to the mind and soul. Besides, it's a great hobby for someone who loves toys and suffers from an incurable case of gizmosis.

RE; Options
The sleeve is designed for a 20x72 or 20x77 pad. Because BA pads in long size are only longer, not wider, that excludes the use of other products like ThermaRest labeled as "long". Usi...
