My Locale Grants Pass, Oregon
About Me I'm a Physician Assistant working at a lung clinic. I'm married and have two young daughters. I dabble in ultralight, bushcraft, and even car camping. I enjoy making my own equipment, but also believe some things make more since to buy. Volunteering with the local search and rescue gives me a practical use for light weight gear.

Re: Exped UL Downmat vs Neoair XTherm
I have both, but have not had a chance to try out the XTherm as the weather has been too warm. Being able to store the Neoair compressed is a big plus for me. Unless I find something surprising w...

Re: Re: FlytePacker Raft
