Great sleep setup

[Marcus Ortega]

Love my new sleep setup. Extremely comfortable and packs up light and small. What kind of setups is everyone else using?

That Helinox cot is super comfortable... I still haven't gotten the hang on how to dismantle the SOB, but WOW - super tight and roomy. I've only used it a handful of times with a Slumberjack Country Squire Zero bag, they've all been quality night's sleep.

Hahaha. I had the same problem. Just lean on the the handle where you palm is when holding the tabs and it should snap off easy. I kept putting pressure on the cot itself at first and it wasn't working. Once I put it on its side and put pressure on the leg it was easy

I just need to master it! Do you do it in any particular order? For me the middle always sticks - and I remind myself to take off the middle first or second when breaking it down, but for some reason I never remember until I only have the middle left..

I just go from one side to the other. With pressure on the leg my cot release's smooth

I'll try it next time. I'm usually pretty groggy when I break down camp anyway. Maybe if I just took a minute.. Haha

I have a very similar system for lightweight sleeping, I use the Q-Core SL, and a good bag, however I haven't yet tried the cot. Its on list to pick up this year. The Q-Core is the best inflatable mat on the market period.

The mat is definitely great even without the cot, but with the cot I feel like I'm sleeping on clouds.

Sweet looking mattress

I'm diasbled so a hammock is my only way to sleep, I place one of my slumber jack self inflating mattresses in there


a hammock is much more comfortable in case you've never tried one

I'm a side sleeper and I'm still trying to figure what will work for me.

I like cots for comfort, but remember that in the winter- you will stay MUCH warmer on the ground with just that sweet ground pad.
