First, I have the best hiking partner.

Now, on to the nerdy hammock stuff.

I might snag a dyneema tarp, and see if maybe I can get a really UL pet palace. Not much else I can do to get this lighter. The 1.3 fabric is as light as ill go with the hammock, and the Raven is too damn comfortable to give up.

I love this tent. Spacious enough that I can move around without hitting the side walls. Tons of ventilation, and insanely light weight. Thank you for going with some dyneema options. And big thanks to for hooking me up with a tent he wasn't using.

Forecasted temps of -24 overnight (Our thermometers hit -30), why not load up the packs and spend a night in the backcountry in the hot tent? Bo and I decided to make the short hike into Eagle Lake, and check out a new area.

After getting camp established, and gathering some wood, we decided to hike around Eagle Lake, and check out James Lake as well. Definitely a pretty area, and I'd definitely like to head back to in warmer weather, possibly spend a few days bagging some peaks.
