The tents look like last year's models, some of them have changed considerably. That said I like our previous-year Scout UL2, and the new 2016 model doesn't look as nice, so it's a great deal if that's what you're looking for.

Sa-weet deals, like C&G just said, that Scout+ is half off. I almost just bought one... really don't need a ninth tent. Eight is enough.

Hmmmm. So right now I use an Original ThermaRest on top of a foam Ridgecrest foam pad when it is cold (and mostly I do cold weather trips). What BA pad could I use by itself that would equal this set up in warmth and comfort? I suppose I'll save some significant weight by going with one pad as well.

I really like my Q-core Sl 25" width. Outdoor Gear Lab testers complained about the quilted surface, but I like it and the thicker outer edges. I toss and turn and the edge design keeps you in the center. This is a pretty good discount at 46%.
Eight is enough for tents and children. Exceptions should be made for backpacking stoves.

Oh thats good. I have a Solo lite arriving tomorrow. Which would be my 7th? Stove, I think.
If I counted my alcohol stoves, I would end up in re-hab

Insulated Q-Core. Make sure you save proof of purchase though - I got two and they had defects. I agree with Hosh that the quilted design is actually very comfortable.
SteepandCheap is the internet outlet for Backcountry.com. Once you sign up, there's a complete order history from your first purchase forward. They used to only do the "current steal" a single item with a high discount, limited quantity for a short duration, minutes. They recently added the Gear Cache that has more variety, longer duration, days and less aggressive discounts.
They ship from SLC, so I can get 2-3 day service for $6-7 in freight cost. It's a pretty good source, patagucci, marmot, mh, icebreaker, smartwool etc. I purchased both a Copper Spur UL3 & 4, our summer family vacations are backpacking trips, at 50% off during the model year transition.
