Tiny and lightweight sleeping bag

[Reynolds, Laurie]

Since I obsessed and researched the sleeping bag dilemma so completely, I
thought I'd share the results for anyone who is looking.  I agree with those
who say that, at least for a spring, summer, or fall walk, a heavy bag is
not necessary.  In May 2000, I had a nice sierra designs bag that was warm,
not too heavy, but very bulky.  Since cutting the size of my pack for my May
Camino this year has been paramount in my mind, I resolved to get a tiny
bag.  I think the two best I found were a Lafuma Warm 'n Light at

at http://www.thegorgeoutdoors.co.uk/acatalog/index.html
<http://www.thegorgeoutdoors.co.uk/acatalog/index.html>   .  In the end, I
opted for the snugpak, because its zipper is full rather than half length.
This bag appears not to be readily available in the U.S.  I ordered it from
"The Gorge Outdoors", VAT excluded for international delivery and a 6 or 7
pound air mail shipping fee.  I got it in one week.  Buen camino, Laurie
