For the past 3+ years I've been sleeping on a very lumpy mattress and am looking forward to getting some comfortable, peaceful sleep on the trail.
I was thinking about going with the Big Agnes trifecta...
15 degree bag, with the air core pad inserted into the memory foam kit, inserted into the bag pad sleeve. I realize this will be some extra weight, which I'm willing to deal with, however I have a few concerns.
1. Will this all roll up together inside the bag? I know the pad rolls up in the bag (once deflated), but I wasn't sure if the memory foam kit would as well.
2. Will this setup last me the entire trip, or will it prove useless in the warmer weather? I'll sleep on top of the bag if I have to, but I'd prefer not to wake up in a pool of sweat.
3. If I fit this and a solo tent into a 4600 cu in pack am I going to have enough room left over for food and various essential gear? (I've never had a pack before, so I have no clue how much "stuff" will fit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
