    yeah i love it, it def helps. if you are winter camping, make sure your sleeping pad is a full length, otherwise you will lose all your heat to your feet and the ground.....i made that mistake on a 4 day backing trip in the smokies in january.....never again will i winter camp without a full length sleeping pad.

    A few bolts are different.
    I do have a full length. I'm still tall enough to hang off though. I just wanted to get a little security thinking that the Moab nights will still be a little chilly in 2 weeks.

    Also just bought a new REI base camp bed for Lindsey. 2.5", it is so comfy so I think I will be using it.

    I also the Thermolite Reactor liner. It works really well and doesn't cost that much. Also, it works well in the summer when you just need something to keep the bugs off. I use mine all the time with my Big Agnes Lost Ranger bag. It's also easy to stuff back into it's bag.
