    Does Jared ever sleep?

    I finally pulled the trigger on Jared's new modular Trail Winder at 1AM last night.
    I received the shipping notice from him at 8:30AM.
    Amazing and appreciated!

    I had that happen when I ordered a custom design ULA Circuit backpack. Shipped out the next day. I really thought it was a mistake and they just meant to acknowledge the order. LOL! Gotta love great lead-times and great customer service!

    I love it! I just had a sewing/fabric question and he replied back within 30 minutes. And not the usual canned response you get from many manufacturers.

    I know! Sometimes I worry that he doesn't have a life and just lives in service to us gear junkies.

    You'll love that modular UQ. I was the first to order one and spent my first night ever in a hammock last Sunday. I have a SLD custom tarp, Trailwinder and TL Hammock.

    With my 20 deg Bandit TQ, I was toasty warm all night into the mid 20's. Only wore mid layers, light sox and wool cap. If it ever warms up again soon I would like to try the single 40 deg UQ and see how far I can push it.

    When I have a little more time in the setup I will post some pictures and a review.

    Just sent Jared an order for a tapered tarp skin and ditty bag. I will probably get a pole mod and some tarp worms from Dutch this winter. The wife is starting to ask questions.......

    I think that y’all have me talked into sending in my 2 TWs for a retrofit with the snaps.

    My wife and I use the 40 for camping and have always been warm. We did one night at high elevation which makes quite a difference. I was fine, but she was in the wind a bit too much. Like a gentleman I switched hammocks with her and we slept great. I’d carry an extra snappable layer between us for something like that in the future.

    Answer is no, apparently not. He’s amazing. Makes me loyal for sure. I’ve not bought as much lately because I got everything from him already!

    I bought my SLD gear (hammock and uq) used here. While I am glad to have my setup, hearing all these stories has me real excited to buy some new gear direct from him .
