    The Saunders is a good starting mm. Beer at mid camp, in July so never OMM horrendous for weather. Also has a solo class which is great for miserable guys like myself.

    What sleeping mat do you use?
    Do Rab still make the top bag, which would pass kit check but had no insulation in the bottom?

    Ba-ba - do you use bubble wrap/balloon bed/modern thermarest?

    I remember seeing Jim Mann’s bag at the ROC once and it was 4litres?! Do you have the same approach?

    I carry the bigger bag, weight fairly even across both though.
    Balloon beds are a waste of time, but entertaining to hear others' pop through the evening. Laminate floor underlay works well.
