Some small thing.

It really isn't much.  But...  I went looking for the tarp, hammock, and all the gear needed for the simple setup.  Well, and actually, possibly, the more complex setup.  I will have to see if it works as well as hoped.  From, as suggested, the absolute minimum arrangement, to a more completed outfitting... perhaps a porch arrangement.

I haven't set it up.  But I do have everything I need to do so, everything I have to do so.  All the stakes I have.  All the guylines, those set to knot and those set up with the alien tensioners, and a few other assorted tensioners.  All collected and put into a minor pack just for those things.

Nothing fancy, but... good.  For when I am able to do a bit of work.  It makes it much easier when I don't have to look through three packs, and this room, and those boxes.  All together, all ready.  And, soon, I will get to it.  Well... actually, one thing needs to be located... the underquilt.  That is for zero degree.  So... really?  I need to consider one or two of higher temp... say a 20 and 40, or 30 and 50?  Something like that... over time.  Oh, and a sleeping pad for in it.  That will work for higher temps, perhaps?  And, if rather warm, using nothing other than the tarp and hammock, and sleeping bag, will do.

I do have several sleeping bags, and a multi-temp kit of them.  Plus, several of various temperature ratings and types.  I've been sort of... trying to get fitted... for a very long time.  Slowly, forgetfully, occasionally, a piece of gear here, and there, and more.  Generally, I am an extremely hot sleeper.  Even now, I can sleep in the 40's and 50's with a few blankets.  Usually.  Sometimes now, sometimes easily.  So I do have to be prepared for greater need.  Though, if almost anyone can sleep comfortably, I can.  But how much beyond that... a bit of caution, in preparation, is necessary.  I don't want to die, or even get frostbite.  Probably won't, don't wish to take unnecessary risks.

Which, in part, is why I will, eventually, be testing right out here.  Everything from cooking, to keeping warm enough, to keeping cool.  Yes, I even have mosquito netting.  It might make it warmer, by a bit, but is well worth keeping those dratted things out.  And, at higher elevation, even in the summer, but at night?  It'll be cool.  One of the first places I want to hike and camp is at 10k.  Probably a medium hike, for the altitude and length.  Only a few miles, I think.  Will have to see if I can do it.

It's been a while, but I remember hiking with my lady friend.  I was easily up to ten miles, one way.  She... was having trouble, so we cut it short.  I even offered to give her a piggyback ride for the last bit, and could easily have done it.  Her... pride... wouldn't allow her.  I was younger, but she... knew, I think, that it wasn't depression.  I think she suspected it was health, of some sort.  Or knew.  Even so, I... have... more in me than I should.  Proved it to her, from time to time.  Well... and in more ways than one.  *wink*

Oh, hungry.  I checked blood sugar, 106.  Okay.  So, maybe I will eat.  Carrots, celery, and peanut butter.  As well, I have slow acting insulin to get taken.  Pill meds too?  Yep.  Well, and I did chores.  Even at ~20:30, there was enough light out there for them to enjoy.  So... I got to it.

Things, not thing.  Actually, I... keep adding to the list, and will add more?

Not sure if I can do much else.  I know where the sleeping pad is, and I think I know where the underquilt is.  So, before bedtime, I will get those found and collected for certain.  And, I'd like to take a shower, and get waterers ready for Tuesday.  Later.  Or goodnight.
