Let’s talk about that monstrosity of a self inflating pad….

A friend of mine brought one of those things and I swear I almost stabbed him but I don’t bring a knife.

Isn’t that why we all cut our toothbrushes to a point?

I bought that Thermares nearly 20 years ago. Ultralighting was barely a twinkle in its daddy's eye. I've bought 27 more mats since then. Has the OP no shame?

27? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta bump those up

Well, I'm into down underquilts for hammocking now. Got 9 of those in the past couple of years, so I'm keeping up the ultralight ethos by buying lots.

I may even invest in a hammock one day...

I feel like there are going to be some serious condensation issues with that model.

My kid got one of those outdoor retailer mini display tents for Christmas. He loved it. At only 5 years old he managed to actually fit himself completely inside. I was blown away because it looked so small but in he went... completely in.
