    Very nice. Good explanation of the underquilt. Great job!

    Nice Job Balloonatic.

    I hope we can get more exposure all over the country.

    Does 'preview ' mean that when the show actually airs that the segment will be longer than 2:28 minutes of this video. If it is is it something folks out side Mi can see online?

    this is what he sent me earlier today
    Hi Tim,
    Great meeting you last week at the Rifle River Recreation area! Hope
    you had a great time and thanks for the visit and interview. Here's a
    preview of the upcoming show I've placed on You Tube. The show will
    air sometime this late winter..I'll let ya know! It will air on the
    RFD TV network out of Nashville www.rfdtv.com and also on Ustream.tv.

    from what he said earlier he was going to do a whole segment on it i believe this is just a quick preview. I will let you all know if he makes this more then just this clip.

    Not bad. They kind of made it sound like they would like to find us during another one of our hangs when I talked to them last Monday. Good job Tim.

    Sshhh! Don't tell people about the joys of winter camping. Pretty soon the woods will be crowded in winter also.
