I have one and I'd agree with that assessment. I still use it to help keep the sleeping bag clean but I wouldn't count on it for warmth.

I carry some acid reflux meds because if I get reflux it completely ruins my day.

If it's possible to use multiple smaller inner bags, that is going to be lot better for organization than a single huge bag.

two friends of mine have taken to carrying tiny little cast iron pans with them

Tell me more about a backpacking cot, it sounds like something that would have been in the old 50s-70s hiking books I found at the library when I was a kid.

I've never understood camping cots, they seem so uncomfortable compared to sleeping pads.

You'll notice they have a sleeping pad and the cot. Where I tend to camp there are usually a lot of rocks so I can see the benefit. Not quite sure it is worth 5lbs but it might be worth 2 or 3

Neat, glad I learned about the footprint thing. I always figured they were slightly small to minimize weight :shobon:

As far as I know, though my knowledge is a little dated, REI is the type of place that will do an exchange like that with no fuss.
