I purchased a Thermarest Prolite Plus Small 3/4 Self-inflating Mat

Slightly thicker at 3.8cm and with a higher warmth rating than the Prolite 3, this mat is the perfect choice for those who are willing to carry the extra few grams for a better nights sleep or for those going to colder climates.

The Prolite uses innovative materials and new shape reduces weight by 25%. Die-cut foam allows for smallest roll size ever. This mattress is engineered for extreme alpine climbing, adventure racing and long-distance backpacking when reducing weight and bulk are paramount.

This high quality self-inflating mat is high density, abrasion resistance coated. The mat Bottom features an innovative, sticky-dot, non-slip surface is also anti-fungal and water resistant to maximise comfort and thermal efficiency. It also has a high performance screw treaded high flow 

SPECIFICATIONS:

Dimensions: 119 x 51 x 3.8cm
Packed Dimensions: 10 x 28cm
Material: Slip resistant polyester, Nylon Base
Weight: 480 grams
Core: new urethane die cut foam

High quality adventure hike mat
Cored construction reduces weight and promotes quick and easy inflation/deflation

I have found a different bag and a way to roll it up to half the size they advertise

Cost $149 rating 8/10 only because it’s smaller than I thought not a fault of the product really

Gday all,

I bought a one man tent shown in the link below. In a nutshell, this tent packs into a size of 400mm x 150mm dia including steel poles. I have been through Nth QLD wet season torrential rain in one and only been damp due to condensation or slight weeping throught the seems. I use it with a sleeping bag but if i use it when its cold, i will use a rated cold weather bag or have enough piss to nmb me up before sleeping so i dont feel the cold too much.

Prior to using the tent, i set it up at home and set the guy ropes up, to allow an easy setup whilst out in the scrub.

I bought mine for $110 off the net, including delivery and a pillow of some kind that never gets used.

Tent wise I have a Blackwolf Mantis 2. HTF you can sleep 2 in it is beyond me as it’s pretty tight for one. I’m 6’1 and wouldn’t want to be 6’2. Very light and very strong however. Packs down to about 1/4 of a bed pillow size which I’m happy with.

Lie on a BCF self inflating matteress with a 35yo down sleeping bag. No probs here

Cooking is still being sorted out. Currently burgers and pub grub. Hopefully on the Wyanlgala ride I’ll get to see some setups before I lash out. some are pretty $$ so I want to get it right.
