[pct-l] Nunatak Revisited



Sorry to bother you again, but after thinking about this I think I would  
like to also get the Nunatak Arc Edge sleeping bag to use in conjunction with  
the _SkahaPlus_ (http://www.nunatakusa.com/down_vest_skaha_hoodie.html)  down 
sweater.  This is exactly how  I have slept in the outdoors for years.  Neat 
system.  Everything  would be in EPIC black fabric, since I going to use a tarp.
 
See _http://www.nunatakusa.com/Sleeping_Bag_arc_edge.htm_ 
(http://www.nunatakusa.com/Sleeping_Bag_arc_edge.htm)  and

(http://www.nunatakusa.com/down_sweater_skaha_hoodie.html) 
 
The total weight for my tall size down sweater and a long sleeping bag  would 
be, I think, under 30 ounces.  Not bad.  And I know I would be  very warm on 
cold nights with this layering system used in conjunction with my  normal camp 
clothes.
 
My pack, bag, shelter would come to around 3.8 pounds.  Not too  bad.  And 
the shelter is really big for a solo backpacker.  Easily can  handle two people 
and maybe three.  See

(http://www.gossamergear.com/cgi-bin/gossamergear/Spinn-Twinn.html)    Of course, I have all sorts of ideas how to be bug free under the tarp 
with the  Bug Canopy.
 
Okay, so all this is getting a little nutty. Cut me some slack.
