My wife and I decided we want to start backpacking. Actually we decided this a little over a year ago,but she needed to finish college and we needed to save for the initial purchases. Anyway, we have gotten our tent, REI half dome 2, our packs, Gregory Z65 and Jade 60, and our bags and mats, REI radiant 20 degree and Sierra designs rosa 20 degree and two rei lite-core 1.5 pads.We are planning to purchase a small stove for boiling and a bearvault canister. That's all I can think of right now haha. My question is where do we keep our packs when we sleep? I know it might be a dumb question but I have never read anything about it. Thanks for the answer and any other suggestions for a couple of complete newbs.
