Sleeping bag
One planet shop assistance did OLD twice and suggested to use a -4 comfort rating. I tried the Bungle -10 a tapered rectangular down fill bag - 1.1kg - it looks well done and is locally made - this is an item that I'm happy to spend money on. Good rest for me is priceless...
thanks again for all your advices !

I’ve always struggled with this concept.
I have a gear list that I use religiously (actually a few gear lists based on the type of hike I’m doing). I think most people do the same.
Not sure why I would suddenly add in extra stuff just because I have a bigger pack.

I'd like to try but I can't find any Hilleberg sellers here in Melbourne to "test" the tent. Does anyone in Melbourne have one of those tent models and willing to show me it?
There is also the Allak model four season that has the roof ventilation.
Thanks

You seem to be looking at some alpine or at least very cold temperature gear which is why moondog was asking about winter.
