    Sounds like you had the same experience I did going to an actual pillow! Perfect for a hammock and found it worked really well in a tent as well. Had thought maybe it'd be too small but it wasn't.

    I think I picked bucky after the name of Bucky Badger from University of Wisconsin back in the early 90s and then just added my zip code. Success many years later!
