I can see the ounces falling. Thanks


I didn't need to do this in my little tent, I had my virga and jacket under my feet, and it mostly all stayed put. It certainly didn't bother me any - I kept my butt and torso and everything on the short pad, so rolling around I wasn't "scootching" the pack, as long as I kept my butt and shoulders on the pad - really not a big deal. I've actually done this for a couple of trips now, since I did a few without trees... It's not a hammock but is sometimes worth it for the neat spots to stay in - no trees in places like this:
