still hoping for something other than a Z rest.....<br>
<br>
Here's another query........I can sleep just about anywhere (wait a minute,
that came out wrong.....if I'm not careful, they'll be naming a city after
me.....), as long as my feet aren't cold. I have all the other bases
covered, but am wondering if anyone carries any kind of down booties to use in
the bag at night. Worrying too much? Going to extremes?
Wouldn't want the weight? I dunno........<br>
