I like to take a book. Usually a small paperback. I know some people like to cut out just the pages they're reading, but I'm of the school that if a book isn't worth keeping it isn't worth reading....
Two things to consider:
1) The benefit of the emergency blanket's reflective coating won't be realized if the mylar is flush against the next layer of insulation. I don't remember where, but I saw...
That's not a good idea. The Marlin Spike Hitch is designed for the knot, not the toggle, to take the load, which compresses the webbing against the toggle and keeps everything in place. When the...
BackpackingLight did an empirical test of 11 types of stakes in two types of ground (compacted campsite and moist sod). I think you need to be a member to read it but the gist is that the Easton...
I've been using a hackey sack lately. Works fine.
Thanks for the tips. I gave Adam a call and that was his recommendation, to toss it in the dryer on no heat for a little bit. He was also very insistent that if that doesn't work I should send it...
To 12trysomething and PhiDelt496, I didn't intend this as a post to "publicize an issue" with the vendor of product. I've never owned a high-fill down product before, and I honestly didn't know if...
My brand new Burrow 20 came in this afternoon! Adam was great, he even put a few extra attachment loops on it for me and got it here in time for a trip this weekend!
One thing though: it smells...
The only reason I know this is because I just asked a very similar question. Here's the thread:...
I'm no expert, but I get the impression that you might get more bang for the buck upgrading your bottom insulation first by getting an underquilt like the HG Incubator.
Cool, thanks. I know this is typically a thing to figure out through backyard experimentation, but apartment living hinders that a bit. Gleaning from the collective wisdom is a big help!
Thanks for the advice, I'll give Adam a call and ask him to put some loops in the corners if they aren't already there.
Anybody have input on the original question? Do you think I'd be better off...
No, I honestly didn't think about that. I'm primarily buying this stuff for ground sleeping, I just had the thought today (after ordering) that it might be able to be multi-purposed into a UQ.

Honestly I hadn't figured out the details. I know Enlightened Equipment advertises that the Revelation can be used as an underquilt, so I figured any rectangular quilt could be fixed up as an UQ with...
I'm primarily a ground sleeper, but I'm starting to dabble in hammocking as well. I have a Hammock Gear Burow 20 on order, and I'm planning to make a summer quilt with 2.5oz Apex in the near future....
Hey y'all! I'm a long-time ground-dwelling backpacker, just coming over here to absorb the collective wisdom. I got a Grand Trunk Ultralight for Christmas and have finally gotten around to ordering...
