This thing is really comfy. I had to boot my kids out of it to get some time in the thing though. Now they really want hammocks. Still working on SWMBO though. The thought it was comfortable but is skeptical regarding sleeping all night in one.

Time to introduce her to the Kindle and a ziploc freezer bag. I take mine backpacking all the time. Weighs less than a paperback, holds as many books as you could want, and can also be used as a rudimentary web portal. I've read mine on rainy days right in the ziploc bag.

I did the same thing last weekend. It worked great!

I folded a thin fleece throw in half, slipped it between layers of my 1.7 double, and found it to be a perfect solution for 50 deg nights.

Thanks for that tip, Jsaults. I just may have to try that this evening.

I have made the effort, she wants books, not electronics. A bit of "old school" in her yet. I may surprise her with one as a gift and see how she feels then.

Thanks for the suggestion.
