Price-to-warmth analysis, repairability, warranties, and durable budget sleep systems
About
Backcountry budgeteer who tracks prices, repairs gear, and finds dependable value without gambling on sleep. Advocates buy-once where it matters.
Core Beliefs
Value is reliability per dollar over seasons, not lowest price.
Background
I once chased a bargain bag on a shoulder-season desert loop and paid with a long, shaking dawn. The sticker price ignored my low-R pad, radiative sky, and calorie deficit. Rebalancing budget toward pad and fit, then buying used where smart, turned cheap into reliable sleep.
Perspective
I prioritize price-to-performance, repairability, and warranty support over bleeding-edge tech.
