    Getting the setup dialed in!

    Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

    I just ordered a WB Edge tarp, should arrive in a week or so. I wanted a Cuben OES MacCat Standard, but just can't afford it right now... so that will have to wait until after I move.

    So my setup is nearly complete, all I'm missing is a Crowsnest TQ and it will be truly complete!

    So far...

    WBBB 1.0 Dbl (got one of the last ones, so happy I got it in time!)
    Cinch buckles / Webbing suspension (using biners but ordering JRB Dutch Clips)
    WB Edge tarp
    CRL made of Zing it 1.75 w/ Dutch Flyz, Dutch Hook, and 3 Prussic knots (Dutch custom, it rocks! Should arrive in the next few days)
    Crowsnest 3/4 Summer Pheonix (green, should also arrive soon I hope)
    Vargo Titanium V stakes (6... need a cuben stake bag!!)
    Some small S biners for the tarp and misc.

    That's the sleep / shelter system, using a sleeping bag liner at the moment cuz it's so hot outside. Sooo close to being complete! Next on the list is a new pack, mine's too big (GG Meridian Vapor). Been drooling over gear for months now, finally deciding on what I want and getting it in the gear closet!

    Thanks everyone here for all the great advice, it's helped a lot!


    Happy Hangin'

    Check out Joe at Zpacks.com for the cuben stuff sack for your stakes.

    The WB gear and the Hammock Gear Pheonix and Burrow are great choices.

    Thanks Shug! I keep giggling at your new avatar and can't stop.

    I'm definitely going to get my stake bag from Zpacks, but in order to save on shipping I'm going to wait just a little while and get a dry sack for my quilts as well.

    Getting cabin fever... been about a month since my last trip! My knee is doing a lot better, and with the lighter load it should be a great trip! I'm thinking something near the falls this time since the weather is a lot warmer!

    Happy Hangin'

    I had to stop myself from going absolutely off the deep end on Zpacks website just now. Got a small Cuben stuff sack for my new H Keg kitchen setup, a medium Cuben Roll Top Dry Bag for my 3/4 quilt (and future summer TQ), and a large cuben stake bag. Had to stop myself from getting a large Cuben Roll Top Bag for clothes, a large Cuben Food Bag, a small Cuben stuff sack for the tarp, and a teeny tiny Cuben Stuff Sack for the iPhone. Almost went crazy there for a second...

    LIES.... ALL LIES LOL J/K

    looks like a nice setup ... spend alot of time setting it up and taking it down ... learn every in and out of your new setup ... set it up so much that you get sick of setting it up
    this way you can set it up fast in any condition in the dark....
    Oh yeah.... PICS!! LOL
    It puts the Underquilt on it's hammock ... It does this whenever it gets cold
