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.
