    Simply Light Designs Trail Lair and Gear Video Review

    Here is link to review and below is same info that is on Youtube...thanks!
    https://youtu.be/U2FwVDQen3c

    We are taking a look at some more hammock equipment this time primarily from Simply Light Designs. This is a unique setup that shows the new Argon interior wind shield as well as how to set this custom hammock on the ground as a bivy. Additionally we are looking at some other various gear primarily from SLD. This information is purely for entertainment purposes and you should always practice safety and hang at your own risk. I haven't been paid by SLD and all the items seen have been purchased independently by me. Hope you enjoy the video and don't forget to like, share and subscribe.

    Great setup & a really well done video. You've given me a few ideas the next time I get the urge to get a new hammock.

    Thanks for posting.

    I have the mesh version of the Catch All.

    Love it. I use it all the time.

    However for winter I need the ULA Circuit to accommodate everything.

    Quilt catch-all is in my "to order" list from SLD. Really enjoyed the video and the internal Argon cover is a nice feature of the Trail Lair. Jared has always been my go to source for gear since 2014 (SLD order #4!).
