I understand the desire to stay with as small a pack as possible for freedom of movement. But with a sleeping bag stored on the outside of the pack, its only a matter of when, not if, the sleeping bag gets damaged and or wet.
I did a 9 day armed tramp from Napier to Taupo many moons ago. About May from memory. Used all of the 80 litres in my pack at that time.
