    Yep. If primaloft bag gets condensation not as bad as down getting wet. If everything gets wet the down layer is the only thing that will fail. I used the Katabatic 650gm quilt inside the primaloft bag over winter and was toasty on the tops under the tarp. Got the lighter down bag for the rest of the year.

    Awesome thread guys!

    Just a note on the wet wipes. Make sure that you try to by the ones that you can flush!

    As these brake down over time. Anything else won't, just check out what there doing to the London sewer systems.

    One of the worse things you can come across imo is a load of old dug up dunny paper

    I've upgraded from an outerlimits starlight 2 tent Outer Limits Starlight Tent - Hunting and Outdoor Supplies.

    to a Marmot Tunsten 1P tent. https://marmot.com/products/details/tungsten-1p

    The older one was pretty light and quick to put up but thin floored, didn't have a lot of space for more than a couple of nights (you couldn't bring a wet pack in, and not good to live in during prolonged wet weather because the opening is right over the sleeping area, so rain gets straight in.
    Twinneedle made me an extra floor which was excellent and the total weight of the whole thing only came up to 1.7kg.

    The Marmot comes in at the same weight, has a second floor too. But it has a vestibule and side entry so much better in the wet, and storage for the pack and boots. Got it from Cabelas sale for $140USD and $25NZ delivery via youshop.

    I know this is an old thread , but most of the contributors are still active here , so I was wondering what changes have been made to the gear/equipment over the last two years ?
    Im going through setting up of gear/equipment phase at the moment and this has been a very intersting thread to read through .
