TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Sac 3

Has anyone had experience with/own the One planet Sac 3 bag? Thinking it may be an option re extended trips where prolonged dampness is an issue.

From memory the Moutain Hardware Lamina weighs less- it is really nice- my wife has one. From the US they are quite cheap.
I have a North Face Mammoth, a climashield bag for us big guys, and it only weights 1.8kg, and the blooming thing is monstrous. I reckon that OP bag is too heavy for what it is.

I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. I just bought one. I was tossing up between it and a Mont, See viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4043&hilit=Mont+synthetic
I ended up going with the Sac 3 because
A) EN rating
B) Price (I got the sac 3 for $170, Mont would have been around $230 or so I think)
C) size, compresses down quite well
Now it may not be as warm as a Mont Extreme, but I've decided I won't be doing any hardcore camping up on the top of a mountain
I was hesitant because it's got a fill which I was having troubles finding info about, but from what I've read one planet are a great brand that stand behind their products (not the Mont isn't of course).
Only time will tell though if I made the right choice!

I was tucked away in this sleeping bag in -1 (it was -1 at 7.30am, not sure how much colder it got) in Ouse, just east of the central highlands in Tassie the other day. I had thermals, a beanie and was in the back of a regular station wagon (figured it would be warmer than our airy tent?). I was also lying on a regular air bed, not a thermarest of any kind. Anyway, it wasn't exactly toasty warm, but it was OK. I wasn't cold, but I also wouldn't have minded having something warmer under me. I would expect to be warmer with a properly insulated mattress under me? Perhaps I'll give it a go in Canberra as well, but from growing up in Canberra, I know it can get *&%$#! cold...
