    OR bivy sacks advice (on sale at goHunt)

    Do you have a picture by any chance? I'm looking for same option.

    Cuben TarpTent?

    Confirmed, you can order the notch, with the exact same specs you want.

    New Tarptent Notch Li- Only 20 oz!

    I ordered one for myself as well. Which led me to find out my card number was stolen. :-D Good thing I like new stuff. Otherwise, it might have been a day or two before I found out someone stole my CC/bank account number. (probably at a restaurant. )

    Cuben TarpTent?

    I believe the new model will have an option for the sil-nylon floor since it is identical to the Notch.

    Cuben TarpTent?

    I wonder how they define "soon" :-D If it's 1 week, I may wait, 1 year... I'll probably buy the bowfin.

    Merino shirts for taller guys?

    Man, the struggle is real when you're 1. tall. 2. can stand to loose a few. Regardless. Despite my belly growing, by chest size has stayed about the same with an extra 100 lbs at 54 in. Every time I see something I really like, it is almost never in my size. It's hard enough to find nice...

    Well I guess this is a sleep system ?, Spiking out with a CPAP?

    I really appreciate all the good information. It would be nice to get outdoors like I did when I was younger, without worrying I was going to not wake up the next day or more likely not enjoy the day because I didn't sleep. Even though I'm 46, I can sleep pretty much anywhere, but I really...

    Well I guess this is a sleep system ?, Spiking out with a CPAP?

    Take a look at the power supply, it should tell you the max amp draw. From there you could guesstimate using math or just some programs available on the interwebs. Higher pressure obviously would draw more amps. I'm curious to do the set up mentioned. Sounds like he has it dialed in. Maybe...

    Let the Patagonia boycotts begin

    Exactly, making an area a "Monument" gives it an "off limits" status. Simply saying, "he's taking public lands" is hyperbolic political semantics.

    Well I guess this is a sleep system ?, Spiking out with a CPAP?

    CPAP.com has some interesting options. The Transcend looks like it would be the way to go IMHO. You can get solar chargers and batteries designed for the system. I think that might be better than a franken system, because you would have the correct amp draws, etc. since it's designed from...

    Well I guess this is a sleep system ?, Spiking out with a CPAP?

    Years ago, before I was diagnosed with sleap apnea, they did an MRI of my nasal passages. Found out I was obstructed on one side, and mostly the other. I regret not getting that surgery when I had cadillac insurance. Now getting reibursed for replacement mask, in and of itself, is a chore. I...

    Well I guess this is a sleep system ?, Spiking out with a CPAP?

    The power supply for my CPAP is 12v 5 amps. If I had to guess it's probably drawing about 3-5 amps. It really depends on the pressure you run at. Some people need more pressure to keep their airways open, some less. I would guess my 5 amp draw is on the high end since I have severe sleep apnea.

    Well I guess this is a sleep system ?, Spiking out with a CPAP?

    It would be difficult. I have sleep apnea. I "wake up" 42 times an hour without the machine because I am not getting oxygen. It's basically the same stress a marathon runner puts on their body. Having a CPAP makes a world of difference. Imagine that feeling when you're dead tired and can't...

    Traveling Cheesehead

    I was born in Nebraska, grew up hunting pheasants and quail (impossible to find once they drop) lived in the Fox Cities for 15 years. Never got a chance to hunt while living there though. :-(

    Midwest Lurker Gear Junkie and Dreamer

    St. Louis County, or Crestwood to be exact. Unfortantly, I think they'd frown upon me walking into Grant's farm. I've seen more wildlife here in the middle of the city than other places I've lived. Foxes, deer, owls, turkeys. lol If I was a wild animal, I'd probably hang out in the middle...
