My Locale Sydney
About Me I live in Sydney Australia & over the last 3 years have gotten back into overnight hiking. I hike with my girlfriend mainly around the Blue Mountains & we also like to do quick overnight trips in bushland surrounding Sydney.

My knees have taken a few knocks over the years which has sparked my interest in reducing weight. I am looking forward to learning about new ideas & techniques and, of course, purchasing new gear:)

Cheers

Cuben

Cuben
Cheers William. I was thinking something similar however that would mean paying for cuben & then negating part of the weight saving by using a groundsheet. Not really sure it,s worth it. Do ...

Great bag
However agree with the above post about the rating being a little bit optimistic. I used a few weeks ago in a very cold valley & camped next to a river (Grose Valley) and it was bitterly cold. ...
