I would say it is a combination of the lack of grooves from the quilted design and the material. The pad is 3.5" thick, but they made the sides beams 4" so that helps a little bit. I think that it also helps if you under inflate it as well, that way you sink into the pad and it holds you in...

Yeah, I could see that if you use a regular sleeping bag. I either use a big agnes sleep system bag or a quilt, which really helps you to stay on the pad (with the quilt there is no nylon under you to make you slide everywhere).

I started using the Big Agnes Q-Core SL last year and I absolutely love it! I sleep with a quilt and the insulation that the pad provides is more than enough to keep me warm on my backside. Also, the "quilted" design is MUCH more comfortable than a beam design IMO, and the weight is pretty low...

Really crappy picture (taken with an old iPhone), but I came across a moose and her young last year when heading up to abes lake in the uintas. I saw the same moose on the trip there and back, and she didn't seem bothered at all (I have a very moronic brother that has no boundaries with...

On the KSL website it is showing that the Uintas are are 142% snow pack for this time of year, which on their maps would represent the dead horse lake area (http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=134181&nid=149). For the southern region it is at 103% of normal. There is also a web cam at Moon Lake...

I did the trudge to Abes lake last August. Unfortunately, I chose to carry a little bit too heavy of a pack, which made the steep climb a near death sentence. However, it made me go pretty slow so that may be why I didn't get the altitude sickness haha. The fishing was pretty good though. So I...

Here is Beau, my 1 1/2 year old boxer on his first official backpacking trip down near Woodruff Canyon :)

Hello everyone! I actually signed up for an account a couple of months ago, but never really took the time to post something here. I have been backpacking for a few years now, with many of my trips (mainly in the Uintas) being planned due to Nicks great photography, so thank you! I am...
