Well I think I've found my personal nirvana. I took my new rig out to a hike in only campground near me, and had the entire lake to myself. Here's some pics of my new toys:
ENO single nest with structural ridgeline, and whoopie slings all in one set up
HammockGear.com cat cut cuben fiber tarp on a continuous ridgeline
HammockGear.com summer pheonix 3/4 under quilt, and summer burrow top quilt.
I slept really well till about 4 am. I woke up really sick with a pounding headache, I ended up running to the bushes to be sick, then the outhouse for...well you know. I filtered all my water even out of the hand pump the water is full of rust. (The lake water doesn't look any better), but once filtered it was fine, and I drank plenty of it so I wasn't dehydrated. The only thing I can think of is I used quite a bit of bugspray(with deet ) over the corse of the day, I'm wondering if I had a toxic reaction to that. After a few hours I was feeling a lot better though and was once again enjoying the trip. Any comments/suggestions, on the rig or the health issue would be apprecitated.
