    Trailstar users...

    Just picked one up. What inner setups do y’all use? I plan on using tyvek this winter and may add a sol blanket. Looks like bug protection may be tricky when sleeping two?

    I haven’t said anything unreasonable. Just two different mentalities. I’m guessing a thru hiker vs me: weekend warrior who dreams of thru hiking. Different expectations/goals with gear that’s all.
