Funny - it isn't that I don't like the Olive Brown, its just that I did not get to see the old camo and have yet to see the new camo.
Thanks everyone
The Warbonnet Superfly only comes in Olive Brown right now, should I get it or wait for the new camo to come out
Excellent information jwallick - stay safe out there (cagers can be crazy)

When I do my budget I round everything up to the next even dollar or $10 amount (depending on how much I want to save) IE $263 is rounded up to $270 I put the difference into my next toy.
Canoefor2 - your response is exactly why I was thinking of getting the Warbonnet, for more winter type weather

I have to confess Shugs videos have taught me a considerable amount as well. He and Syntax77, thanks guys.
I have been reading a considerable amount on hammocks. I currently own 2 Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asym Hammocks. (they came as a pair on Ebay). One of the places I have learned a great deal about...

While camping recently I found the tarp with comes with the Expedition Hammock a little less than stellar. If I were in a downpour, I have no doubt I would have gotten wet. Anyone else find this to...

I have seen people use snake skins on the Hammock lines and others who have used them on the tarp lines, which do you prefer and why?
You might want to play around with one side (head or feet) being higher or lower on the tree. I like my head higher than my feet (not by too much or you will end up in a heap where your feet are), my...

Awesome, more food for thought, thank you Floridahanger for all the good info
Thanks so much - I think I will take what I have to this trip and determine if the quilts might be a better idea, I like the idea of less weight like Gunner76 suggests, but I also like multi-purpose...
hmmmmmm. Good things to consider. The bonus about the yoga mat is that I can use it to sit on the ground if needs be, can't do that with a quilt
I am going on a kayak camping trip to the High Northern Sierra Nevada Mountains. First one to the mountains. I will be at 6K'...I have read much about under quilts and over quilts, I sleep warm, have...
I would think a pair of cut of rain coat sleeves would do the trick
