    Looking good. I'm enjoying my Macpac Express 400. Not quite as light as yours though.

    Forgot the mention my Thermarest Neoair Xlite mat. Really light and packs up small, plus very thick if sleeping on the ground. Works well in my hammock as well.

    Got one last week, it'll be bloody comfy by the looks, I'll still use the klymit inertia x-frame for warmer weather when traveling light

    Be interesting to see if you go back after a few nights on the neoair...huge warmth difference and why I went with the quilt.

    It's really more to get you off the ground a bit not so much about warmth. So if it's warm I'd still take it

    Looks a nice set up, Just tonight I started weighing and listing all my crap ( hunting gear) to see what/ where I can loose some pack weight!

    Always had a quilt in mind for my wish list EE Revelation APEX.

    Saw this YouTube the other week and the tent and especially the cooker look good as well, prob grab the cooker this week

    Lots of info around when you start googling
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

    Yep got a Ti cooker off aliexpress...stupid light and very good. Beats the Soto. Ti MSR pot and others make a big difference too.

    Funny you should ask... Just spent my second night in it down Te Urewera... In a hut... Definitely recommend it to anyone.. Well warm enough and packs down so small.. I'm doing a bit of a mod so will post a photo when finished...

    An update... Decided I didn't like the short zip on the aegismax so I took it into our local sewing lady.. Had the zip side opened up down the side to about 350mm from the bottom.. I never sleep inside any bag and just prefer the whole quilt type scenario... Anyway, 4 nights in TeUrewera, a bloody cold (for the time of year) southerly, and the little bag was bloody great.. 1 layer of polypro for jarmies and at no time was I cold.. If you're after a good spring-summer-first part of autumn bag..don't hesitate..
