Has anyone tried a 3 day backpacking trip with just their get home bag? I'm thinking a out trying it this fall. It will be interesting to see how much stuff I add to it after the test. I'm sure I will discover I'm not as tough as I think I am.
Sounds like something that might be fun for the younger set. Sleeping on the ground in the open just doesn't appeal to me these days.
Me too.
Mine would be a totally different test. If I had to hump it home from the office, its from roughly 30th and Shadeland to Camby. Thats either one hell of an arc to stay away from people, or right through some sketchy parts of town.

I do have a 6x8 tarp and a light weight 40 degree sleeping bag in my kit. No pad though.Sounds like something that might be fun for the younger set. Sleeping on the ground in the open just doesn't appeal to me these days.

Think "double duty" In my truck I have a fold up windshield shade that is reflective on both sides. It will double nicely as a ground pad, at least for the GHB, and it's on less thing I have to buy. Slipped in to an old bag for a folding chair and it ins't conspicuous while carrying.I do have a 6x8 tarp and a light weight 40 degree sleeping bag in my kit. No pad though.
