My last couple trips have included some extended time way above trees. I have had solo tents for that, but recently
after some trial and thinking also tried out a thermarest prolite short pad, with my pack under my feet. In the past
I've use the solo tents, but with a biiiiig pad.

While it's certainly not my hammock, in terms of comfort, It's definately not *bad*. I went with the prolite shorty after a hard look at the neo-air, discussions here, the weight of the neo air versus the prolite, and some good sessions lying down on it. As I've dropped some of my curves from years past (although I have more to go) I found I could be decently comfortable on it.

What I really hadn't considered is that swapping out hammock, tarp, and blue pad for solo tent and mini pad really dropped down my base weight - which for the last couple of hikes was just over 9 pounds.

and I swear it's not the Asperger's kicking in! I only weighted it all after I got back from the hikes! wink wink
