Tip: connect two mats together

Our sleeping mats, although very warm, are very slippery. So they tend to move inside tent. To avoid that, make loops on inside and connect mats together when in tent. Use fabric cloth and glue from provided repair kit. For even stronger stability, make two more attachment loops on the tent's floor.

Naturally, there was yet another peak, equally desired by me and equally hard to even think it was possible to climb: Denali (6,190m), the highest mountain in North America.
