    Smile Converted a friend

    Can I have a hallelujah!

    No. Not that kind of conversion.

    My friend John came with me to the NJ Winter Hang. I lent him a Hennessy Expedition with top cover and KAQ underquilt. When we turned in Saturday night I wondered if he'd be comfortable, especially with temps dropping to single digits. Sure enough...he was snoring in less than 20 minutes.

    Next morning he told me about how well he slept. Just didn't like the top cover since he normally sleeps under the stars.

    By the way, he did use two sleeping bags in anticipation of the temps.

    Man Knotty ... do you hate this guy? Sure you've made his life camping a lot better yeah ... but you've led him onto the path of "gear-aholism"

    Friends don't let friends camp with only one stove, one hammock, one UQ, etc, etc, etc .....

    No need to wait until next year. Hopefully you'll come to the MAHHA Spring Hang.
