A few more pieces of gear


Just finished off a few more peices of gear. Starting with a Mountain Hardwear Phantom 45 sleeping bag, I put together a 2lb, 9oz sleeping kit. The bag is a nice light down summer bag. The pad is a Therm-a-rest 2/3 ultralight from a long time ago. Its sub 400g which is very light for a pad, but its thin so I may yet change that piece out. Then rounding out the kit is a Granite Gear silnylon stuff sack and a Tyvek groundsheet.

While the weight is very good, I am most pleased with the size that this set compresses to. It will be really easy to add a silnylon or cuben tarp to this kit, and still keep it very small on my handlebars.
