    When one of these stormcrow quilts gets in your pack, it actually lightens your pack! How did you guess the secret?

    Hey Thorwren, glad you got him up the hill in the fog, and glad you got out of those nasty winding one lane forest service roads in the waning fog-filled light and made it home.

    His base was actually around 8.5, can't remember the exact number. His total pack is under 15 with food and water. I was at 13.79 starting base, but I didn't have his super secret double probation items in my pack, and I am not as crazy as he is - I like my comfort.

    I used helium to fuel the van home. I sounded funny the whole way. Wait a sec... I always sound funny....

    I'm guessing with a helium fill Cuben UQ there's no real need for the suspension. Gotta be a few ounces saved there . . . although don't go moving around too much
