Hiking Kilt

"Me laying on the balloon bed."

Bill, if this sentence is the title of the photo than i think you're taking lightweight hiking a bit too seriously. I don't see you! Do you hike in 'ghost-mode' to save weight nowadays? :D

Anyway, what are you using as a pillow in this pic???

Eins

I was in "Stealth" mode in the other picture. My pillow is my GG pack liner with what even clothes in it I am not wearing.

One balloon like I am using weighs 3 grams each or 0.105 ounces each. That comes out to 159.6 balloons per pound.

Bill, I would think the CheerStix would be worth their weight in durability over the balloons? On those wood plank shelter floors the chance of snagging the silk too would seem likely, even with a micro groundsheet.

I have only inflated my original 2 CheerStix twice since I told you about them! They've been under my futon sofa for almost a year now. I think it's more of an air temperature change, as opposed to air leaking out the end valve, as far as staying inflated. What's your opinion of this?

This may be a very silly question, but have you considered size extra large Latex cond_ms instead of balloons?
