    you'll have a tough time beating leighlounderquilt.com and her $120 summer (35 degree) UQ - for price/quality. stormcrows are filled a little thicker, but a little more pricey.

    leseee...

    1) Whoopies, should save me 6-8oz
    2) A lightweight summer UQ
    3) A DIY sleeping bag to TQ conversion
    4) A yard boy to do the yardwork while I trot along mountain trails.
    Seems like the grass grows twice as fast when I'm off packing as it does when I'm just looking at it in the evenings.

    I'd like to do some more colder weather hiking/hammocking this year, so maybe a full length underquilt may be in my future. I'm also in the process of planning a thru-hike of the John Muir Trail next year, so I'm in the process of shopping for a GPS and a bear canister. That's all I got to say about that.

    Well, this looks like fun...

    1. Fabric and zip ties to finish my DIY pack and larger snakeskins for the hammock.
    2. A cuben hex tarp. I may wind up going DIY here as well.
    3. Good wool socks for the three months it gets below seventy degrees here.
    4. Tough No-See-Um mesh for tarp snakeskins, sandal bug proofing, and lightweight anti-bug gaiters.
    5. Lighter tarp lines.
    6. A lighter bear-bagging system.
    7. A smaller camp towel for the cooler months when I don't go swimming.
