Want a piece of hard earned knowledge from an OG? Too bad, I'm gonna say it anyway.

Cool is WAY over rated.

Man I`m with you on that " moving about " thing I`ve been doing it for years,
O G . Great video , Doesn`t leave much room for people to insist that quilts and straps are to much to mess with.

Respect Raul......you have done your work)))))))))))
I usually go with those who "Get Out In The Piney Woods Often".
But opinions are interesting to watch and listen too.

I just stick with my own. Like most of us.

Nice video Water Monkey! Good facts all around

Hi water monkey, keep up the great work.
I have both you and Shug to thank for getting me of the ground. I very much appreciate the time and effort you both put into your videos. Your both legends in my book. If it was not for you both, I'll still be laying on the ground waking up each morning with a sore stiff back. You've both opened a whole new opportunity for me in camping places I never thought possible, such as camping up the side of a steep mountain.

LOL I'm no legend. Just a geeky accountant with quirky sense of humor and a video camera. Glad I could help out in any way.

You are to me, taught me so much. I would never have owned all this quality gear if it was not for your expertise in this field.

I watched you latest video, you've answered a question that had me beat for some time. My overnight hike last weekend, temp got down to 10 degrees celcius. I used both a 20F Burrow with snap lock on the footbox from Hammock Gear and a 20F Warbonnet Yeti, as a underpad for my foot I used a 5mm ccf foam I cut from a cheap pad, One of those you see rolled up.

I noticed a fair amount of condensation on the feet where I was laying on top of the 5mm ccf foam and yet the rest of me was fine. Had to hang my top quilt up for a while for it to dry.

Condensation must have come from my pad under my feet.

Nice one... Always great to see some good old field "How to" now where has that crazy dancing monkey in a kilt got to?

Good job, well presented and respectfully articulated. Hammock evangelism at its finest. Mad props, yo!

Agreed entirely! If followers of a certain individual can't handle the truth and do their own actual research before spewing information, then shame on them.
