[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 932792, member: 33822"] Here's my sleeping setup that is VERY warm and comfortable, and I am 6'4" 220 lbs so I understand how uncomfortable sleeping on the ground can be for bigger guys. This is the same setup I use every year including last year's 1st rifle elk season on the western slope in Colorado... it snowed every day and the only time I was warm was at night in my sleeping bag. Marmot Limelite 3-person 3-season tent. Enough room for 2 guys and has dual vestibules which is great to keep boots/gear under cover, but not in the actual tent. Light enough to carry even when I hunt alone. has held up in some pretty big snow storms. holds in heat at night which is nice, but not as much heat as a 4-season. Mountain Hardware Lamina 0` long sleeping bag. Heavier than down, but also less expensive. My dad is 6'4" 260 lbs, and he has had good luck with a northface goliath 0` bag... not sure if they make that bag anymore. Exped Megamat 10 pad... crazy comfortable/warm with an R-value of 9.5, but very heavy/bulky (would like to upgrade to a thermarest neoair XTherm to save weight, but don't want to spend the money right now) I have used a standard thermarest in the past but sleep like crap on it so don't use it anymore. And do your best to try and find another guy to hunt with. Not only is it safer but splitting up the gear really lowers the total weight you'll have to carry in. [/QUOTE]
