True, 21 pounds isn't too bad for cold weather gear, but I live in Virginia.

And I guess stating that it's "Cold weather gear" is misrepresenting a bit because it's not cold weather gear alone. The tent is a 4-Season Expedition (Eureka K2-XT), and the sleeping bag is a Tennier MSS (couldn't afford the Slumberjack) so I can choose how much or how little I cocoon myself against the cold.

Truthfully though, I don't forsee the temperature getting down to -30? in these parts anytime soon, so I doubt I'll be using the MSS in its full configuration with my wool 1st layer on. LOL

I've done a couple of nights in the low twenties/high teens with tent and bag and have been toasty warm though.

Anyway... I took us off-track there a bit. Back to BOB weight issues! Sorry. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
