Great comment CEDE. Thanks! It does look cosy for sure. Do you still use a mat with that one too? Doesn’t the sleeping bag do the same thing really though? Have you found it invaluable?
Not sure it is an addition I need as it doesn’t really get so very cold, but I can see that it would come in handy for colder climates or very chilly camping nights.
My aim is to get everything down to only what is needed, so if I were to use something like that I think I would need to remove some other piece… hmm…
It is certainly food for thought!
