Pay attention Grand Trunk: it is a very good, perhaps even great chair for bird photography. But it wasn't perfect. The problem was that on softer ground or sand, the chair sinks too much to be a stable platform. I'm not a heavy guy either - 5'10" and 185.
I fixed it though. I bought a second chair, carry just the extra chair seat, and removed the plastic feet from the legs. In this way I can attach the second seat to the legs for one big foot that will not sink. There are still a few issues: the extra seat will not fold up into the bag and it could be made from less material (and without the extra storage netting) for the lightest weight. If Grand Trunk were to manufacture and include a cloth foot for this application, while adding just enough dimension to the bag for all components, this chair would go to the head of the class - World Class.
I really love my purchase of the Hooded Travel Neck Pillow. Purchased with the eye mask and headphones, this travel pillow gives me a little artificial environment of peace within the craziness of an airport terminal or airplane. I even used it today in my living room to take a quick nap. I love it!
I bought two EVOLUTION 20 DOWN SLEEPING BAG HAMMOCKS. I am a long time hammock camper, but when I starting bringing my girl friend along, she wanted to be together in a tent for security. I convinced her to try a hammock...we were both warm and cozy and with two hammocks hung together with the ENO spreader bars she had the close proximity/security she was looking for. No cold spots. At 10,200 ft it got cold at night (~high 30s) and we were both toasty warm. We used two MOZZY LITE Hammock Bug nets and two ABRIGO RAIN FLY SHELTERS to create our little airborne home away from home. Set up was a breeze and carrying this gear was easier and lighter than bringing a tent, two sleeping bags, two sleeping pads etc...plus the comfort of a hammock is hands down a major win over a tent. All of Grand Trunk's stuff is awesome (I have 2 Mozzy Lites, Two Mozzy 360s, a skeeter beeter, two abrigos, and five double deluxe hammocks). Now my only wish (not a complaint, but rather a plea to Grand Trunk)....please, please combine the awesomeness of the EVOLUTION 20 DOWN SLEEPING BAG HAMMOCK with that of the SKEETER BEETER XT (and make it a double deluxe)!!!!! This will bring your guys into a position to take over the market...I would order 4-5 of them the first day they are available and sell all my other gear.
This was a gift for my brother. He loves it! Great purchase for a fan of the outdoors.
I love the evolution 20. It's so simple to set up without having the extra under quilt with its straps, etc., and it's great to feel so comfy in it while it's snowing outside.
Realistically, I can sleep Comfy with no cold spots at 0°C/30°F without a sleeping bag or a blanket inside, as long as I have my jeans, shirt, and a medium down jacket with hood on. Below that I would use a sleeping bag.
It seems well-made. Online you will find some concern about being able to see daylight at the two cross-hammock seams, which is true on mine as well, but I have no indication that it would actually come apart there. And they do have a lifetime warranty.
I would have preferred a colour like Superior Hammock has, but at three times the price, I couldn't justify it. One thing they could introduce in the future would be a zipper on bug net, even if it was just a half type, but I haven't crossed that bridge yet because I'm still camping in the snow.
It's very light at 4.2 pounds and comes with a great stuff bag, reducing the size a lot more than one would expect. Great for the backpack.
The down in it will be compressed when you first get it out of your parcel, but give it a shake or two and leave it out for a few minutes, and it will expand greatly to fill the compartments.
I hang it with the daisy chain straps and carabiner clips. Really quick set up. Really like it! Feels more comfy than my own bed!
