Right now I am getting ready for Massachusetts black bear season. Tomorrow in the AM I will sit in my stand with a scent burn and hope my Gary Reeder refurbished Redhawk Hunter will strike the primer, so to speak.
I spent three days on the cold hard ground. It was not fun. I have that nice kifaru tipi but I am seriously thinking of selling it as my back is still buggered up.
I slept on two Z rest pads and then a cheapo Walmart blow up mattress. Better but the Z rest wasn't enough.
I have to look into the hammock method. I really love the outdoors and have a thirst for the wild as a drunk for whiskey but I do have some lower back issues now. Doctor said I have a bit of arthritis in my lower back and have had sciatica.
So I am thinking a well made hammock with both under quilt , over quilt and a large silinylon tarp covering the whole shebang would be the way to go.
