[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 129641, member: 2011"] 308 Nate, RE: my cobbled up mat/drag bag mentioned above (Item #4 I think). I used it all elk season and backpacked it up the mountain one day. Way too heavy and flexible. After that day I pulled on my sled. The carpet pad was nice to lay on but heavy and a pain to pack. Went to S. Warehouse to day and spotted some Collman Rest Easy camp pads @ 5.99 each. 72" X024" X 3/8". I bought two, came home and immediately removed the carpet padding. I then cut the Colman's into 12" strips and cut to length. They shoved easily between the stitching that separated the carpet pads. Weight is greatly reduced, its a little less flexible and water doesn't soak into it. It rolls into a nice small light package and folds nicely to protect the rifle when dragging it on my sled. I've searched high and low for a decent pad material and this is the closest I've come. You may wish to at least consider it. My only complaint is that I think it would be better 1/2" thick over 3/8s. Just a tho't. [/QUOTE]
