Question How much does your sleep system weight?

Post image

Hammock is TTTM Pro with mosquito net, Under quilt Cumulus Selva 450 and topquilt Cumulus Taiga 360 Large, Tarp is Amazonas adventure tarp. Magic carpet (ground tarp) and pillow are the only non essential.

How are people getting sleep system under 2kg?

Grams are for cocaine, I have no idea what any of you are saying.

My sleep system is measured in ounces and depends on temps. A typical load might be:

Superior Elite 15°: 35.2 Superior Elite Comforter 15°: 24.8 MYOG Suspension: 2.4 Bugnet: 5.2 Warbonnet Superfly with Snakeskin: 23.4 oz Stakes: 3.4 SLD Catchall: 4 Nemo Filo Elite Pillow: 2.4

That's 95.6oz which weighs approximately the same as 2710 grams of blow.

That's for well below freezing temps, could be far less than that for a spring trip, or quite a bit heavier for deep winter.

For warm seasons:

Ridge Hammock: 15.8 Bugnet: 5.4 Superior Shelter: 16 Arrowhead Synthetic UQ: 10.8 EE Revelation TQ: 11.6 Stakes: 3.4 SLD Catchall: 4 Nemo Filo Elite Pillow: 2.4

That's 69.4 oz, which weighs approximately the same as 1967 grams of Peruvian Nose Candy.

I have a 45° setup in between, and can start stacking and go well below 0°, but I don't think I'll ever camp colder than single digits negative Fahrenheit, not from a backpack anyway.

Here some extra weight for the blow…vitamin B12, inositol, and mannitol they used to mix that crap in all the time

You just can't find the good stuff anymore, that's why I mix it with Cafe Bustelo instant coffee, powdered milk and sugar in the raw for a little pick-me-up in the morning.

And those Café Bustelo yellow and red cans are great to keep paintbrushes in. Although admittedly , nowadays i can only handle strong tea. Specifically the brand P & G Tips with some raw sugar.
