Got this package today and going through it all. Super excited after saving some money/selling a few things, and loading up on a few pieces that have proven to be top notch in my lowly opinion. All these pieces reflect other gear I’ve had, and parted with, with some special touches and tweaks. You’d be hard pressed to find gear better than LSOH. James is great to deal with, easy to converse with, and doesn’t compromise when it comes to his building style!

The hammock is exactly as expected, with the extra touches being a nice bonus. The peak bag/shelf is a really nice addition, as well as the smaller pocket sewn along the side. All the Lime accents and stitching just adds to the overall look. Love the 1.55 AOR2, and the flectarn netting is subtile, yet sweet!

This Topquilt is second to none. On my scale, this 30° quilt weighs 17.4oz in the stuff sack and lofted up immediately when I took it out of the sack. The Argon 67 is buttery soft, and the inner pattern is unique and eye grabbing. Zero gaps appear when held to the light, and I’m confident knowing the closed baffle system used will keep the 900fp goose down in place! It has slightly narrower baffles, which i believe will help it exceed its rating!?I can tell it’s warm, but it will be quite some time until I can test that where I live.

The 20° Toaster UQ weighs 26.1oz on my scale, and the Boreal Camo is great! One thing I truly love about these quilts are that they measure what’s advertised when it is filled with down! No shrinkage (like some others I’ve tried), and the 44x77 doesn’t need to be stretched out to achieve the full size! Filled with 900fp goose down, this thing lifts like a beast! Argon 90 in and out!

Overall, perfect! Thank you James!

Nice looking kit.

Good looking kit you have there Peppy and the pics are good also. The inside of that quilt is unique- what material would that be? I had read that LSOH was closing?

James is open for business and doing well. If he’s closing he hasn’t said anything about it. He did recently take a few days off for a much needed break. The material is a printed Argon 67. All I know it as is a custom hex pattern. It’s not too much, and is pretty cool!

I have worked with James for years and he is a delight to work with.

I think James would be surprised to hear he's closing

...and disappointed, he's been really busy!

Fantastic looking setup, Peppy!

That's a fine collection of camouflage you put together there (I counted 3 patterns in your photos). The MARPAT digicam hammock with a Flecktarn printed net is just sick. Nice haul!
