Dreamers!

Ennis, MT. fishing access.
First morning on our summer trip to the winds.
This year I had the most fantastic opportunity to be a part of  Therm-a-Rest's new 'Dreamers' program. 

Here's the blog I wrote for them. Part 1: The Bike Ride (on Therm-a-Rest's blog)


Therm-a-Rest, the leader in sleeping pad technology for the last 20-30 years, is now making sleeping bags, and integrative sleeping bag/pad systems.

I tested the Antares 20ยบ bag; weight 1lb. 15oz.
&
 the NeoAir All Season pad; weight 1lb. 3oz.


Awards.

More Awards!!!!

The combination of a new tent and sleeping bag/pad system 
lightened my load by over 4lbs.

Sleeping with the bag secured down to the sleeping pad, 
(with 2 flexible fabric bands,)
allowed for a more comfortable night sleep,
with less cold spots inside the bag,
 and more freedom to move.

Making for a warmer and more comfortable night out, 
with less weight.
&
Yes it won outdoor industry awards,,, again!


Just make sure you wake up on the right side of the sign.
(And look at the thickness of that sleeping pad!)


And, how do I say thank you enough, 
the 'Live Your Dream' grant for helping support
our 2013 human-powered expedition to the Wind Rivers
& the Tetons…!
Big Love,
From team Sweet-Bangs
