Hi Franco. I bring a couple of light shopping bags too; bread bags aren't big enough to put my trail runners into at night, and shopping bags are better (bigger) for a food bag liner or picking up trash.

Wine bladder pillow:

"My pillow is usually a wine cask bladder wrapped up with a shirt inside a stuff sack covered with a pullover or puffy jacket."

I tried this, and I could just never get the "old stale wine" smell out, and was a little concerned about the possibility of nasty stuff growing in there. I guess I could have used some more serious cleaning attempt, but unless I'm missing something, the only way to try to clean out one of these is to pretty tediously encourage a very small stream of water to enter the bladder via the built-in plastic fawcett.

I'm going to try the Montbell UL mattress and pillow, once the pillows are in stock again, but am curious whether I missed a trick with the wine bladder idea, as they do seem tough and pretty light. And also offer more backup water capacity at need. The price is right and, dang, "sorry dear, but I need to drink a bit more wine over the next few days so I can get a pillow in time for my next hike" ... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
