Haha, you know me mate. Always looking to cut as much weight as possible. New tent is less than 3kg and it's brilliant! Getting a new bag and should be able to do a massive review once I have tested the gear and new systems together.

What tent have you purchased? I want a light weight one, little one man jobby, but I want one I can lay down in! Most of the ultralight ones appear to be made for fucking Hobbits. Do people over 6 feet tall not like lightweight camping or something?

I'll set it up and send some pics over.

It's basically an Australian Military Issue Bivy, that also has a small pole over the head area. Not ideal for snow situations though.

So the hunt continues. At the moment though, this one kicks butt! I'm thinking about trying to mod it for more winter based situations though.
