About Me I love the feeling of solitude and the chance to be at one with the world around me.

My passion for MYOG has become not just a hobby, but a way of life, and so started my own company - Simply Light Designs. Right now we focus on mostly backpacking tarps & hammocks along with various accessories.

Money not a concern
If money isn't really a concern, I was always taught to by the best quality you can afford. Of course, you could always buy the Stoic and use the extra funds to upgrade other gear.
