Sleeping arrangmenets.



Oh to sleep afloat in a white russian...

So what of the hammock eh? Ive been poking around as per usual and i wondered whether a hammock would be viable for uk bikepacking stuff. Good: its small and light. Potentially quite comfy, though hyper extending the knees will have to be avoided - the word is put your pack under your knees. It may be that it is colder but Marty and me are exploring the local availability of Evazote. See here for Marty's comparo. Its light and apart from being a little sweaty, it should be quite insulating. You dont need the thickness for isolation from hard ground in a hammock. It may be quite bulky as its not compressible.

We'll see. Needs more work.

What else? i'm bonding with the Jones. Not quite synergy yet, but not far off. Should be on for the Shenandoah. Wheels still to be decided. I may make an investment in the future. I may not...

Meanwhile i'll get back to practising on coloradan based/maryland brewed beers...
