I love the concept! I now leave my top & bottom quilts, bugnet, ridgeline bag and, pillow in the hammock packed up all together.

I got some of these so that I could easily bundle my stuff up and lock it in the car when car camping - they are very good for that. I used them with a big dry bag on a kayaking trip once but the way the lazy slug tubes hold air made it very difficult to compress the whole thing and get the bag closed.

I know that works if you're stuffing into a pack but with a dry bag its a different matter. The quilts expand faster than the dry bag top can be rolled down which then results in a sketchy seal. I really like my lazy slugs but they are not something that I find useful for kayak camping.

I was looking at something like this as an option, but I think I'm just going to use a couple pieces of cord on my ridge line to wrap and bundle my hammock and insulation every couple feet starting dead center and just stuff it in a larger bishop style bag. Then I can just cram the whole mess in the bottom of my pack. My only hesitation to any all-in-one packing like this is if I want to take a lazy lunch break (and who doesn't?!) I would have to get all my quilts out with it.

That's when you get a second hammock :P

I use my Lazy Slug a lot when it is wet, I find them a bit huge otherwise. My HH Snakeskins are a lot easier to manage. My Lazy Slugs come out when we are just on a one or two night Hang, the HH Snake Skins are way easier to stow and handle. I am short and find the Lazy Slug's a bit of a pain to handle, however when things get wet, they are wonderful way to quickly get everything down and ready to go.

I use mine pretty much year round. At first I felt like they took up waaaayyyy too much space. Then I did a comparison between the volume that they took up in my backpack while holding my UQ/TQ/UQP/hammock/pillow, to the volume in the backpack used up when I stored each of these in their own bag like I'd done before.

Turns out, I save a bit of volume with the LST's, and there are fewer gaps left to fill in the bottom of the pack that way.

I used mine the last trip to Burrell's Ford and it was great to just slide them over all my gear when it was raining, and I wasn't in the hammock. Kept all the moisture out and no worry about rain blowing under the tarp and getting my quilts wet. I love it.
