    Comment from Mrs. Beep

    My wife and I just finished a two night trip along a portion of the Superior Hiking Trail this past weekend. (Pics and a trip report to come in a day or so).

    The best comment...

    "I can't believe how comfortable my hammock is. I don't ever want to go back to a tent!"

    We have mirror-imaged WBBB hammocks, BTW.

    Heheh!! Not on paper, but she's already talking about our next trip! Gotta love it! FWIW, she was adamant for many moons that she didn't want to give up our tent. Of course, that was before she had a few nights in a WBBB. I give her credit for trying new things. She's also told me that she wants to learn how to put up the tarp and hammock on her own on our next trip!

    Beep, did you ever get that Reflectix I sent North? I just got back from my own hike the past three days and completely forgot to check in on that!

    Tell your wife welcome to the cult.

    Also glad to hear that she is excited about future trips.

    I feel a tear welling up ... can I borrow her to visit the blonde and have a talk?

    That's grand Beep ... and wants to learn to set it up herself ... dang that's a keeper!

    Cool! I was so inspired I made a new one for my SP700 mug and used it this past weekend. Cozy's are such cool things.....
