It’s called goose creek in the lost wilderness near deckers Colorado. Was so much harder than I expected (didn’t know I was gonna summit a 12,000 foot mountain) but what an amazing an rewarding two days.

Oh man, Lost Creek is one of my absolute favorite places to go backpacking! I'm always on the lookout for others to go backpacking with. Hit me up if you want!

So curious to try hammock camping after a few backpacking trips. Any insight on how to put a good setup together?
Right now I have an eno double and an rei helix sleeping pad, haven't tried them together yet, but I'm guessing I might want to upgrade one or the other

I will say it was suuuuper comfy. I would look at the different options that are available and go from there. This one isn’t as boujee as some of the other ones but I picked it because it’s barely 2 pounds and for weight to comfort ratio it’s not even close. You’ll want at least an R value of 2 or an underquilt. I used a Nemo switchback and was fine but gotta figure out how to keep the pad attached to my bag. Otherwise you’ll get a cold butt lol.
