GEAR! How will I sleep?

  Hopefully well.  Ha.  But seriously, I'm a wretched sleeper.  I fear sleep.  I dread the thought of laying in bed trying to sleep.  Add to that I sleep on my stomach and I'm what backpackers call a 'hot' sleeper, which means that my metabolism is high when I sleep compared to someone who gets cold when they sleep.  Eh.

  What this means is that I've never enjoyed the traditional, sleeping pad, bag and tent combo.  I'm also hopelessly fadish.  So I decided to try a hammock sleep system.  It's an ENO system doublenest hammock. It looks like this.


  Quite cute in its natural setting, no?  And it was sooo easy to set up.  You literally just throw some straps around a tree and clip some biners in place...  And it held my fat ass.  Prop.  Also prop?  It weighs about 3 pounds.  And comfy!


  Let's hope it holds up in the field.  Gonna break it in next week.  Woo!
