some use their silnylon based clothes as vapor barrier.

I use a MB Ul#1

Marmot bags are conservatively rated and are good to go.

I have a Flycreek UL2 and happy with it.

onion bagels with pepper jack cheese and salami..

I like hawkvittles, some Mountain house stuff is good but HV is close to real home cooked food.
