    Well, last night I spent my first night in the Light Hiker. I have to say that while it took me a while to get to sleep (which always does in the backyard with AC and other noises) I slept GREAT! I found it easy to get in various positions while trying to get to sleep and once I was out I was OUT.

    I always make a cardinal sin in the backyard for some reason and put the foot to the east. That means that about 7 this morning the sun woke me up. Well, a simple reposition and I was back out until the bladder screamed at me around 8:40. I NEVER sleep this late!!

    If you'd like to know how I really felt when I woke up, watch this.

    You could save even more weight by swapping the carabiners for toggles and a Marlin spike hitch. Saves a little bulk as well.

    Interesting. At 5-6g per pair compared to the biners which are about 62g combined I'd have about 57g or about 2 full oz! I think I'll have to look into this.

    I swapped out the biners last night and they worked great!

    I think I lost my Light Hiker this weekend...

    My wife slept in it...

    Comfortable and warm...

    Oh well, it was nice while I had it.
