I may be able to kill 2 birds with one stone here. In September, I took my 6 year old son on hist first backpacking overnighter, and naturally we both hung. He had a blast.
It was my first night to try my new 3/4 40º Phoenix UQ, and I loved it. My son used my older thermarest setup (I know, I know, what kind if dad am I? Well, let me finish). The lows that night were barely in the 50's, so everyone was comfortable.
Anyway, I was thinking. I chose the 40º 3/4 length UQ for warmer trips, maybe I should get another 40º full length UQ (Incubator). This way, my son can use the 3/4 length, and I can use the full-length on our seasonal outings together. Then, I can use both together for colder outings with my friends. I'd hope to get to 20º or so comfortably doubled-up like that.
I mentioned this idea to my wife, and she didn't dismiss me completely, which is always a good sign
Does anyone here use a similar setup? I'd probably have to ask for some extra width. Any thoughts?
