If you use a foam pad or inflatable foam pad an air mattress is

Thanks all for such great feedback and advice.
By air matress I meant the Big Agnes Air Core Sleeping Pad that goes inside

combo, and it felt to be a very light versatile setup. By separate e-mail

How about that! Early outdoors got him off to a good start.

Wow. Guess Chicago's friend and foe Lake Michigan has really been
suppressing temperatures around here. I have seen the occasional
creepy crawly indoors but no flying insects outside yet.

Joel,
I was out the other night at dusk, riding along the Yellow Breeches,
which is a nationally known trout stream, and was covered with bugs.
I was tempted to take off my bandana and ride "outlaw" style; but
opted to squint and limit my breathing to nose only.

Not a bad list at all. But I must ask: Bug spray? In Pennsylvania the
second weekend of April?

I know that Riv doesn't make them, but
While the gear recommendations above are worth your consideration, and
could make a few recommendations of products and strategies that have
worked ok for me, I believe you will learn best by doing. The beauty
of a S24O is that you only have to live with your mistakes for 24
hours or less. I recent

That is the spirit. The little guy is going to be very comfortable in
the great outdoors with that start.

I did my first S24O with my son when he was eight months old. Why
wait? It's fun to tour with babies and young children.

I'm with Dave on tent size, small is best, as long as you are
comfortable inside, it also is less interior space to heat up. The

I'm the opposite of Anne in terms of tent size. I like smallish tents
because they are usually lighter and they pack easier. Get a sleeping
bag that will keep you warm. 50 degrees is a little sparse
Might I suggest a sleeping bag liner if your not planning to wear
something woolish when going to bed. The nights can be a little chilly
and a sleeping bag liner can keep you warm and keep your sleeping bag
from getting dirty. Dress in layers helps solve most issues with
warmth, but not all issues.
