to replace the campmore one which now has holes after 20+ years of day hike rain cover and as floor for my bigger tarp tents (wild oasis for lightweight and a 10x10 pryramid from this guy / oware for roomy camping...)
sleeping pad
many nights no issues, lighter than thermarest
pillow
costs 20 cents per night before the valve started going, still good for another week at least. I don't blow it hard usually, a half filled pillow is soft.
SOL emergency bivy if it's crummy, still ain't needed it
SOL emergency blanket is my groundcloth, 3 weeks it's beginning to need replacement ( $5 at REI)
