By the way, Tony recommends using a Therm a Rest Ridge Rest pad for his hammocks. The pad pocket was designed around this pad and is what he used when he tested his hammock down to -2*.

Will the large Ridgecrest pad that's 25" wide by 77" long work?
According to the hammock dimensions posted on the new website, the pad pouch is 86" x 26 1/2, so yes, the large Ridgerest pad will work.

Did you order a custom FOB with a 2nd entrance or window? I would like to see if he could do a custom FOB with 2 doors/windows for mine.
Yeah, mines custom with the 2 windows. I'm not sure if he's able to do 2 doors or not. Not sure you'd need 2. I wanted 2 windows for better air circulation in the summer. Tony's pretty good about taking care of his customers.
Thanks for the tip, I couldn't understand what you where talking about but, after setting it up I am definitely going to do that :-) I am going to have to get a ridge rest pad, I put a therm-a-rest air pad partially inflated in the sleeve (It wouldn't go in fully inflated) and also put a therm-a-rest z-lite sol foam pad on top of the sleeve. The clothing that i put in the side pockets overlaps the pad and holds it in place, I probably did not need both pads but it will be getting below 30 degrees tonight so figured it wouldn't hurt. I will be posting a review once I sleep in it tonight but, I did lay down in it for awhile and was very comfortable and warm. all my trekking poles where too short for the peak so I got a extendable painting pole from the garage and used it, anyone have a recommendation for a really tall collapsible trekking pole?
I've been down to 19* in mine so far, stayed plenty warm. I made a thing to use on my rainfly so that I can just cut a sapling up for a pole and use it. I'll try and take some pics of it. It's really lite weight and easy to use.
I slept alright last night and stayed pretty warm, it got down to about 25 degrees. I am going to wait till next weekend and sleep in it again before writing a full review. I wasn't laying as flat as I would like, I think I didn't have it setup quite right.
I didn't really believe the whole "No Under quilt Needed" statement and was planning on buying one just incase but, I dont think I will need it. It did stay surprisingly warm, the area my feet where in was a bit chilly but, some extra socks would have fixed that problem.
btw: I am thinking about buying this as a tarp support:http://www.campingworld.co.uk/en/Rob...e/m-8323.aspx? Goes from 3ft up to 7.5ft and weighs under 1lb.

Are you a side sleeper or do you sleep on your back? I've noticed when on my back it's a perfectly flat lie. I'm normally a side sleeper and when I curl up I can feel the middle of the "w" at my feet. All I do is just move my feet slightly and I'm back to flat.
I have a scout, which for my tastes is a little small, but still pretty comfy. For me, I am more comfy at a greater diagonal lay. That said, i got it because it wasn't 13' long and I have it hanging in my room on a homemade stand.
Likes: Taslan outer fabric ! feels like cotton and seems very durable
Main pad pocket and side pockets, great ideas
High quality workmanship/quality
Dislikes: Seems a little narrow/short(could be just me !)
No ridgeline, ( I made my own adjustable one out of amsteel)
I would like to have zippers or something to close the side pad openings
I was going to get an FOB and still may, however an 11' Xxxxxxbird is looking pretty good right not too !
