Getting a bonus, huh? Must be nice to work for AIG. grin

As far as bag/pad combos, it will depend on the temperatures in which you plan to sleep. For general 3-season (40 - 70 degree nights) I like the Western Mountaineering MityLite. It's a 40-degree, hoodless, semi-rectangular bag, so it's got some wiggle room. If you want more room, leave it unzipped (except for the footbox, which has it's own zipper) and use it like a quilt. I've tried the Big Agnes air mattresses, the Montbell Comfort UL system and the Thermarest Prolite (formerly Prolite 3), and find that I still prefer the Prolite Plus (formerly Prolite 4 pads.

You might want to take a look at a new product from Thermarest: they now have a quilt top that snaps onto a Thermarest pad. (You use a fitted sheet over the pad; the sheet has snaps that mate to the quilt. Optionally, they sell snap kits that self-adhere to the pad and make the sheet unnecessary.

For stoves, the Pocket Rocket is a great stove; it would work for three if all you're doing is heating up a quart or quart and a half of water to add to freeze-dried meals, using the cook-in-bag method. Anything larger than that and the supports become a little shaky.

If you're actually wanting to cook in a larger pot, you might want to look at the Windpro, Superfly, or Reactor stoves from MSR; the Simmerlite would also be a good choice if you prefer white gas. Snow Peak stoves are also good, as is the Jetboil (though you'd want the Group Cooking System, GCS, rather than the Personal Cooking System, PCS.)

If you want an alcohol stove, go to www.clikstand.com and order the Clikstand (the titanium T-2 model, since you work for AIG ;)) and Evernew .9 and 1.3 L titanium pots (available in uncoated or non-stick.)

You should get a lot of answers to this question. Everyone has his or her favorite stove, and thinks that everyone should use it. (Mine is currently the Pocket Rocket and Titan kettle - though I've also got the Clikstand setup described above. And a Svea stove, because I'm old and it's good.)
