I'm fine with my gear, no worries there. I have or have made about everything I need. The things that I *want* I can't very well make. Like a down sleeping bag.

Even before I found this forum I camped safe enough to where my friends and I could survive ... comfort just took a back seat. When I camp now I'm warm and comfortable, but not very lightweight. Much better than before though.


I'm just still learning up on the new age things and such to make myself more efficient. I got safety covered.
