Tiny and lightweight sleeping bag

[Adrienne Patton]

Actually, 27oz is 1 lb, 11 oz - a little over 1 1/2
pounds.  And I'm not taking a sleeping mat - I don't
mind sleeping on the ground - I can sleep anywhere
after walking 25km!

I took Linda Davidson's book on my 1st pilgrimage - it
was the 1st thing to go! You may see it in the Estella
refugio. :)  I made many "donations" to refugios along
the way.

My 2 big weight items are my tent (3.75 lbs) and my
pack, which is almost 6 lbs.  I decided to use it
though instead of investing in a new lighter one,
because it is so very comfortable - it is designed for
a woman and I never had any back problems or
discomfort. (Lowe Alpine Sirocco)

So I'm trying to keep clothes, toiletries, medical &
misc. down to an absolute minimum - 5 lbs max.  It
will be tough, as I'm a photographer want to take a
camera and film with me.  And then I have to factor in
the weight of food and water I will carry along the
way....sigh....

I know I am comfortable with 20-25 lbs if necessary,
but I hope to travel a little lighter this time
around.

But where did you find an 18-oz 0-degree bag?
