I forgot to include the 1/8th inch closed cell foam pad as the backpack pad. The 1/8th in pad can also be wrapped around your torso for added warmth if super cold, or used a sit pad, or lay down on it to siesta, or a backup pad when your inflatable pops.

I forgot to add face sunscreen,. I'm usually ok with tanning on legs, but I like to protect my face and nose from damaging rays.

Forgot to explain that I have no windshirt. On cold mornings, keep your fleece on (you'll wake up with it on) and put hiking shirt over it. If you need more then use rain shell. Need more, use puffy.

The Haglofs fleece being good down to 30F is NOT a comfortable rating and assumes little to no wind, a hiking shirt, shell, and a good amount of exertion.

Forgot to add, the shown polycro is great for cowboy camping.
