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

Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

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

Haven't had any issues yet. I'm the tent on the far left.
