I can't decide what to bring for a sleeping pad.  I could bring a Therm-a-Rest Prolite 4 Regular, which is full length and weighs 680g.  Or I could bring a blue foam full length (275g) and a Prolite 3 Short (119 cm, 370g) and combine them (total weight 645g, more warm in torso, less warm in feet/head).  Of these two options, the prolite 4 is waaaaaay more compact.  It is not nearly as light as just the short prolite 3 though, so my future "ultra-light" use wouldn't be as good, but I seem to often do things in winter.  Of course, I have a full length Guide-light already, which is something like 900g, so it is another case of paying $100 to save a pound (less actually). - Scott

We can discuss issues for the main page here. This will keep it cleaner.

For example:

Snowshoes

We should bring snowshoes. I love to use them, and especially love to carry them. -Jeff

That's craziness. Snowshoes are useless and heavy. -Scott

Sleeping Pads

I can't decide what to bring for a sleeping pad. I could bring a Therm-a-Rest Prolite 4 Regular, which is full length and weighs 680g. Or I could bring a blue foam full length (275g) and a Prolite 3 Short (119 cm, 370g) and combine them (total weight 645g, more warm in torso, less warm in feet/head). Of these two options, the prolite 4 is waaaaaay more compact. It is not nearly as light as just the short prolite 3 though, so my future "ultra-light" use wouldn't be as good, but I seem to often do things in winter. Of course, I have a full length Guide-light already, which is something like 900g, so it is another case of paying $100 to save a pound (less actually). - Scott
