About Me I grew up in VA exploring and camping the woods around my house. As a teen in the 80's I learned how to backpack by reading books. Back then my pack weight was a respectable 27 lbs and I hit the woods every chance I got. Once adult life took over it was rare to take an overnighter. I faced several challenges during my middle age life and turned to the outdoors to restore me. As my knowledge and skills advanced, my base weight dropped to below 5 lbs. With this came a freedom that I had never experienced before.

re: Length
I assume Tim did this one as a custom length. For comparison, MLD's small quilt is 66" long. It is recommended for users 5'4" in height or less. Jamie

Alexander, The more I ponder your sleep system the more I appreciate it. I think I would be fine to 30 degrees in it.... a 12 oz bag, thats impressive. I do have one more question. How many inches ...

re: Momentum

re: ""Make Your Own Trailstar?" or "Where can I buy wide silnylon?""
Travis, I'm stumped then. How about a trail star that pitches 2.5" above the ground:) Jamie

re: ""Make Your Own Trailstar?" or "Where can I buy wide silnylon?""
Looks like Ron is getting extra width from the dyneema at top...i.e. the triangle don't go all the way to the peak. I'd guess 3 inches...so I am a bit stumped how he is able to get a full 7...
