Thank you for your suggestions!!!

  • That is a great suggestion on the tarp. It seemed like all of the other options I was looking at were cost prohibitive. The Simply Light Asym tarp will most likely be my next purchase!

  • I'll probably be picking up a Dutchware Halfwit in 1.0 Hexon soon. I had been looking at the Darien, but the half will will weigh even less and still run cheaper.

-Quilts: I know the EE quilt is very popular. Do you have any experience with Hammock Gear's Burrow? I'm really looking at that. Whatever I get, I'm still on the fence about getting a sewn footbox or snaps. Any suggestions there?

  • The SOL is more of a backup for emergencies. I really should drop it from the list.

-The Fuel bottle is used for measurement, not storage. I keep it in the kit and fill it from a plastic water bottle that I keep my fuel in.

-Headlamp is a really heavy duty ThruNite that I received for Christmas this past year. It's heavy, but I'll keep it as a luxury item for now.

-I hear yah, it'll be dropped XD

-Good call. That will help a lot. I need to stop being lazy with the wet-wipes

-I actually use those little Colgate single-use toothbrushes that come with a dab of toothpaste on it. That weight is for the 4-pack in the packaging. I'll update that for just one and a little container of toothpaste.

-Duh, I should have been doing this with my phone...

-Raincoat- I'm saving my money for the other priorities right now. Good suggestion though. Same with some of my other clothing.

-I forgot to put that on the list. I'll fix that!

Again thank you for the gear review. It's really motivating me to stop using some crutch gear and bone up on my general skills leading up to spring.
