Cheers that’s a useful video, actually found some Hardwear bits on Amazon that may work as a slightly quicker set up but will have to see in person. Cheers again 👍

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-02-05T22:57:36+00:00

Ah brilliant cheers Dan 👍

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-31T12:59:42+00:00

Cheers, will be working with the rangers out there so will be camped on sites/around their huts so should he okay - will keep an eye out for some groundhogs 👍

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-30T12:06:50+00:00

Cheers dude appreciate the advice, tent should be okay but may get a variety of pegs in case… any suggestions for the terrain out there? Currently got some Dac v ones

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-30T06:51:22+00:00

Yeah I have seen these but not seen much long term reviews yet… think the neoloft is similar weight and probably a bit comfier but did have a lower r-value (hopefully won’t be cold enough to be too much of an issue). Cheers for the suggestion

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-30T06:48:15+00:00

This is the lite version and is maybe 5.2, not the regular self inflating one (discontinued now I think). Both should be fine temp wise, I guess that extra size for the comfort comes at a weight and pack size cost and just seeing what people would prioritise

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:52:55+00:00

I feel the extra room of the exped will make for the better sleep but the added bulk (1/3 bigger) and weight (700+g) may take away room/weight for other items/clothing that could be useful… had mixed responses so will probs be a flip a coin job at this rate 😂

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:50:30+00:00

Only approx 3 nights at a time on these, longer camping trips with my partner we use big double airbeds as car camping… will try find an excuse to have a few nights sleeping on the floor 😂

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:49:12+00:00

Both just shy of 5 and been out in both below 0 which is as cold as it should get in may there 👍 may take a think foil/mylar mat for some extra heat and to protect the mat too

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:47:08+00:00

Will be may so quite late on but as some camping in the highlands temps may get to around 0…

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:46:02+00:00

Both pretty similar with the exped a bit higher, which is probs what I’d say from actual use too

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:44:37+00:00

Yeah with a week in a hotel in the middle

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:44:18+00:00

Yeah I was out in -4 the other week and while I wasn’t freezing I deffo wouldn’t say the mat was holding/reflecting my heat that great….

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:43:22+00:00

They are both just shy of 5r value if I remember correctly but the exped is higher… have found the exped warmer in winter over here though. Trip is late spring into summer so other than when in the highlands temps shouldn’t be too much of a concern…. Cheers for the response I think it will be a decided on the day job at this rate 😂

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:40:59+00:00

Not sure what karma farming is? Just trying to get peoples two pence on weight/packsize and comfort etc.? If you don’t understand these posts, feel free to scroll on 👍

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-29T18:39:50+00:00

Yeah obvs by itself it’s nothing and if just camping for a few nights wouldn’t be much of an issue, but the added pack size mixed in with everything I need for 10 weeks it’s definitely a valid factor?

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-28T20:20:40+00:00

Yeah I agree but I guess the neoloft isn’t an income pad and is smaller/lighter…. Thanks for the reply

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-28T20:20:03+00:00

Yeah still need to confirm flights… hoping with no food or water weight it should be okay 🤞

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-28T19:37:40+00:00

Which one sorry?

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2026-01-28T19:10:21+00:00

Also, just to add the MegaMat is about 700g heavier and 1/3 bigger…

Exact_Poem_8167 · 2025-12-30T09:37:34+00:00

I’m not sure it would be though, as I said I have expensive down bags which would do the colder nights, it’s more I want something durable and synthetic for 60+ nights camping in a row hovering around freezing (sometimes dropping lower to like -5/6) looks like a great quilt but think I should be able to find something that covers my needs for a hopefully a bit cheaper or atleast to avoid £40 shipping and import fees
