    Yeah, plus anything below 70 deg F is cold to me. It'll be that way for a while still. Night's are still in the 40s here in Alabama. Once night's get above 70 I probably won't need a quilt.

    Some people just don't get it. I am planning my next bugnet. I got the look from my roommate.
    Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?

    My wife asked me why if I already have a Hennessey why I need a homemade hammock. I asked her why I didn't need one.

    Next time ask her why she needs that second pair of shoes.

    Actaually you might not want to. I currently do not have a wife/girl friend, commnets like that might not go over well.

    I do it anyway. She gets p.o.ed. You should see the look I get when I tell her we are not going to drive to the store and that we should walk. She says , but I hate the one that is near us, and I tell her that I don't want to spend the money on gas and I don't want to pollute. I end up driving half the time.

    AYCE already has a pretty detailed thread on clo in his archives. Have a look through there and you'll get the info you need.

    Question, instead of making draw string sleeves as Mirages has, why not just make a more tie outs ( 5 or so on the 60 inch ends)? It seems easier than making little tiny pockets for the draw string. Run one rope through the webbing, tie both ends off to a mini biner, and clip the mini biner it to the descending rings. How does that sound?

    Or maybe drop the mini biner and just use toggles?
