Got my AHE hammock and quilts home and now my son wants to throw out his tent and start hanging. Unfortunately the dogs went through the top of his tent last weekend so I've got to buy him something. I guess I'm gonna spend the new tent money on a hammock setup for him....and while I'm at it I might as well pass down my synthetic quilts and upgrade to down for me (no sense in letting the younger one carry the lightest gear, right?). That price tag is gonna hurt. It's what I wanted to begin with but I couldn't force myself to bite the bullet on it....and I just can't make myself get another synthetic set without trying out something new. I'm shopping around and found that loco libre has a 5% off sale if you buy 2 quilts so their 30 degree set will be around the same price as the hg 40 degree with 2oz of overstuff...unless I hear something real negative I'll probably be the proud new owner of a ghost pepper and habanero quilt set.
In the back of my head I keep telling myself to just get him the hammock and make do with a pad and sleeping bag for now but his pad and bag are just so BIG and heavy (it's all from car camping) it's almost feels like child abuse....that or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to buy new stuff, who knows. Anyway, thanks for helping me spend all my money...
