[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1860116, member: 97414"] Ok,,, here's the weights of my sleeping system only... Tent & carbon fiber poles is 2.2 lbs with rain fly and a extra tyvek cover... Open cell foam at 5.4 lbs -18 Celsius sleeping bag at 3.2 lbs,,, looks like ill need to modify the open cell foam pad to get the weight under control... Its to heavy at 10.8 lbs all in,,, my job is to knock off 3.8 lbs,,, dang namit,,, I really don't want to give up on the open cell foam since it's so comfortable and warm... I know I'm over doing it on the summer time test,,, but I fear letting my guard down if it gets cold at night... Now the brain storming begins ... Maybe I can use thinner foam on the bottom that lays on a silver space blanket,,, my air mattress ended up flat on my last outing... Or fork out the $230 Cnd funds for the RV-6.9 NeoAir pad... they claimed its 1 lb 4 oz... That would put me just below the 7 lb mark... Oh boy,,, the challenges of life... Ha Don [/QUOTE]
