Glad you started this thread...
My husband is really into hiking... He splurged this past Christmas on an ultralight tent and light gear.... It's hard to keep track
He and our son went last year and hiked part of the Appalachian Trail... They're gonna go back and do some more of it this year...
I'm sure at some point I'll go along, but the older I get, the more particular I am about being comfy when sleeping!
