About Me Having been a backpacker off and on since the early 90's when a trip to Philmont infected me w/ the bug, I have transitioned over to a lighter kit. My first encounter with UL backpacking was some CDT thru-hikers I met in New Mexico. I went home and combed the web, found BPL, and the rest is history. Right now, I'm between jobs, working at a local running shop and have been doing a little freelance writing, hoping to find a voice for a writing career perhaps. Previously, I have obtained a meteorology degree and master's degree in secondary educ.

good call on the Thermarest XS prolite

I dont think it's the batteries.
I don't think the Steripen is the problem w/ rechargeables. It's the temperatures they are exposed to. Our Lithium rechargeables on our camera got eaten up by the cold(17deg. lows) Same thi...

Is 1 1/8" enough for side sleeping?
I'd be curious to hear from any readers that: 1. side sleep 2. use foam and 1" inflatable pad. My general question is whether foam+inflatable at 1 1/8" would be closer in comfort to 1...

1" augmented w/ foam
Jim, I think the addition of foam to the 1" inflatable is a nice idea. The only reason I haven't tried that route is that the inflatable + foam = closer weight to the 1.5" inflatable ...

Thermarest Trail?
