I'm getting a new tent and pack for my Colorado Trail thru-hike this summer and I have a couple questions.
For the tent I'm most likely getting the Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=36). If I get the ultralight floor, should I use a groundsheet, or is the floor pretty durable and waterproof? The Gossamer Gear Polycro (http://www.gossamergear.com/cgi-bin/gossamergear/polycryo_ground_cloth.html) groundsheet only weighs 1.5 oz. I'm also considering the Wild Oasis (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=48), but I'm not sure how I feel about a floorless shelter.
For the pack I'm trying to decide between the ULA Conduit (http://www.ula-equipment.com/conduit.htm) and the Circuit (http://www.ula-equipment.com/circuit.htm). Assuming I get the Lunar Solo my base pack weight will be about 11-12 pounds. Is that "ultralight" enough for the Conduit, or would I be better off getting the Circuit?
