My Locale Midwest About Me I am in my late-40's and really got interested in backpacking about 10 years ago as a way to have some concentrated time with my boys, now all finishing up high school or in college. I try to get out a few times a year, including a bi-annual trip to Colorado for some of the big stuff. Otherwise I am stuck in the very boring midwest where everything exciting is a good day's drive away. City Indianapolis State IN Country USA My PDF Gear List UL tarp-solo

	2ookworks Might want to check out the 2ookworks inner for the Trailstar. Very cool design although expensive. I used it with my TS before moving away from tarps and back to tents. Quality is top notch.	In GEAR » Inner net tent for TrailStar January 18, 9:14am
	It's loud I stayed in a shelter with someone sleeping on the XTherm and it is really loud and annoying. I didn't know it was the pad at the time and I thought it was the rumbling of thunder and an incom...	In GEAR » XTherm does the noise lessen later? January 18, 9:12am
