    Hello From Colorado

    I'm currently active duty Army living in Colorado Springs, CO but will soon be getting out. I plan on staying in CO because I love the mountains out here. I'm from the Lakes Region of NH originally and have spent a lot of time hiking in the Whites, and still do every time I'm home.
    Well it all started a few months ago when I picked up an Eno SN cheap at an REI yard sale. Then I found this forum and have just been devouring all the information on here. I love the sense of community expressed in this forum, and that got me looking into all the cottage vendors here. I might have been a little impulsive but I couldn't be happier with my purchases. I decided to go with:
    * Warbonnet BB XLC 1.1 DL
    * Warbonnet Superfly
    * HG Incubator either 0* or 20* (will be purchasing today)
    * Marmot 30* down sleeping bag for a top quilt. ( For now)
    Being in Colorado I had the chance to meet and work with Brandon at Warbonnet when purchasing my hammock. Excellent experience. Couldn't ask for better customer service. I can't express enough my appreciation for all the vendors on the forum and their accessibility, as well as all the members and their always helpful and often comical opinions and information

    Welcome to the forums. i lived just up the road from Ft Carson years back worked in Canon City. My friend that is still there says 115 is now a 4 way the whole way. I was driving it when it was a 2 lane. The folks at Carson were nice enough to let us park at the guard shake and carpool in. I love that area. I hope to get back that way in the near future and make it a permanent home. Got side tracked lot of info here and good people to help out. Thanks for your service.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy, or perhaps both." - James Madison

    I thought I would just add a couple pics of my set up. I've still got a lot of learning and experimenting to do. But I'm having a blast doing it. The weather here has been great and I've been out the last 3 weekends.

    Oh. And I am loving this Superfly and BB XLC. I have been a tent camper for a long time but I have NEVER slept so good in the woods.
