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.

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
Alexander, Looks like you have onw smart sleeping system. I'm curious about the dimensions on your quilt. Any chance you have the top width (chest/neck) and footbox girth (bottom width). I'...

re: Momentum 50
Matt, You just had to post this. I've resisted the urge to get this fabric until I saw your post. I pulled the trigger and got a M50 quilt kit. What I am hoping is that machine setup will be si...

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?""

re: ""Make Your Own Trailstar?" or "Where can I buy wide silnylon?""
Kyle, DId this quick so it might have a mistake, but I'm thinking the panels work something like this... If this is correct then the shelter uses 9.72 yds of fabric at a weight of 1.35 o...

re: Make Your Own Trailstar?" or "Where can I buy wide silnylon?""
Kyle, I think you are close, but you are placing the width in the wrong place on the panel. Silnylon is typically 60" wide. Given the bottom of the panel is 84" and the width is 60" ...

re: WTB: New Balance Fugu Down Jacket!
Tom, I'm curious what size jacket you got. I've got a large green one and love it, but I think I might need to see if someone wants to swap for a medium. The large is a bit big on me. I'...
