I bought what I thought was state of the art in 2012 for back pack hunting. I bought the OR Advanced bivy 2.5 pounds and a REI 20 degree radiant sleeping bag which runs right at 3.5 pounds. Then I have an Alpine Hikers Dome tent that hit the scale at 4.5 pounds. Add to that my sleeping pad and I am toting right at 10.5 - 11 pounds in a sleeping / shelter system. So I started doing some research and this is what I have come up with.
I opted to go with a Clark NX 270 4 season hammock 2.9 pounds. Has a bug net and a solid cover for full containment
A Nemo Tensor thermal sleeping pad. 1.0 pound, 3" thick and should give good insulation for the underside of the hammock
Evolution Rain Fly / tarp 1.5 pounds including lines, spikes and bag
REI Igneo 17 degree bag 1.5 pounds
I will also buy a Nemo spike 1P tent that only weighs 1.7 pounds
With the hammock the entire system will weigh 6 pounds packed weight! Less if I take the tent in instead.
What do you guys think?
I have found that when you are looking to go light and be comfortable the mountain climbers and the granola boys know whats up......
