We have been touring for 2 years and have been refining our gear. Tent wise we have a Big Agnes Copper Spur 3 person. We really like it.Just went to REI last week to get new sleeping pads. We had been using our old ThermaRest but wanted to reduce weight and bulk. Ended up with REI's inflateable. Nice size and comfortable. My wife made a fitted sheet ,with pockets, for the bottom and with a light sheet for the top for warm weather use. We also take 1 down bag to use as a comforter.
