I took my troop to Northern Tier for a week in BWCAW. I planned on testing out hammock camping this Spring, but of course everything was canceled.
I practiced setting up my Warbonnet Eldorado and Thunderfly, but this trip was the first time sleeping in it. I took my pad in case it didn't work out and I could sleep in the other adult's tent.
Setup is fine, but I had a couple of issues. First, I could not figure out how to keep the Economy Incubator in place. If I moved around, it would slide off my shoulders. I tried making various adjustments, but had to reach out and pull it back into place.
I slept with my head by the Warbonnet logo up close to the mesh with the shock cord pullout and my feet in the opposing footbox. After a while, the pressure on my heals was uncomfortable. I ended up putting some clothing under my feet, but that would shift around.
I wish I could say it was the heavenly sleep so many say it is, but it was just OK. I'm a side sleeper normally, so that's a big issue. The underquilt sliding caused cold spots.
It was a great trip. The scouts loved it as did us adults. It was our first time there and we'd love to go back.
