    The Down Side of Underquilts

    I knew there had to be a down side to using an underquilt and last night I discovered one. I got up in the middle of the night to answer nature's call and when I went to get back in my hammock I proceeded to sit in my quilt instead of the hammock. I think I bruised my a**. Note to self: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!

    I wonder what Newton would have said if he had seen THAT instead of the apple falling from the tree.
    Happy Trails to one and all.
    Enjoy the outdoors wisely and elevate your perspective.

    I like to entertain my fellow campers occassionally. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

    Never sat in my UQ....but I did load my jacket and TQ into it in the dark once. Turned around sat down and took my shoes off, climbed in and couldn't find a thing. Oh my! Must have kicked them out and they're on the ground. 5 mins later after putting back on my boots and doing a full headlamp search of the surrounding area....................
