    That's all good news. The large REI Flash 45 holds 50 liters. It's on its way. Really probably going to pull trigger on WBBB xlc. Then Superfly tarp. Then UQ. Figuring this all out has been a rollercoaster ride! But I really like your philosophy. I cut 2lbs 11 ounces with the new pack. The WBBB xlc will cut 2 lbs 12 ounces. With the fat I found in other smaller gear, I can keep my current pad, homemade tarp, and sleeping bag, and still end up cutting about 10 lbs total.

    Good enough for the first round.
    Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.

    I found a WBBB XLC DL 1.7 for sale. Should be here by Tuesday. I am thrilled. You convinced me, RisingEagle!

    Got mine yesterday! Will set it up this weekend, hopefully for an overnighter. I have a poncho liner on its way. Hoping that it works as either a top or bottom quilt. I'm a warm sleeper and I'm only looking at buying 40 degree quilts so if I can make the liners work...

    You didn't have any trouble with the pad sliding around? What width was it?

    I took the pack out this weekend when I tried out the Blackbird. Think it's going to work great now that I've lightened my load a bit! Had a little trouble getting my little boy out of it! IMG_4463 2.jpg

    I think you'll be happy in your XLC. I'm a round guy - 350# at 5'10". I only get out in my XLC a few times a year, but absolutely love it. My first hammock was the WBBB, but the WBBB XLC feels much better to my wider body. Enjoy your XLC!!

    Good to hear, Tru! Was hoping to do an overnight tonight but tons of rain so I bagged it.
