all great advice...i'm working on the weights...i work too much

most of my gear was born out of winter paintballing trips in the pococnos, hence the k2xt tent, and snowshoe

i'm thinking its probably worth the cost to have two seperate setups 3 season and cold, as i won't have to schelp overkill weight and temperture rated gear in the summer...


is down better than synthetic for a 30 degreeish bag?

is the ba insulated air core a good buy? would it suit as a year round pad?

i'm willing to up a bit in weight to be more comfortable in my tent...

are tarptents really that good? i've been toying with the scrap two man design with crossing poles...but not having ever played with one in person i can't speak to the quality...
not much has been mentioned to me about six moons...


also do any other pots fit the cardera cone system? like the MSR blacklite?
