    Thanks to all. Got some major calf ridge going on, so I'll see what I can do. Might get rained on, too. Oh well: go big, or go home.

    First two nights went way better than I'd hoped. Still struggling a little with setup and learning a lot about organizing gear. Tried a self-inflating and an accordion style pad. Liked the self-inflating one better, but def had some moisture from it. Will probably get an UQ soon as it seems a more elegant solution, and I'm saying adios to tents! Second night I only woke up to pee, and when I got up in the morning NO BACK PAIN!! And that was after a day of caving!

    Hi, my name is

    Shug has an entire video about calf ridge pressure. His video is loaded with information on combatting and preventing CRP.
