You talkin about the bed that you can change how hard or soft it is?  Bob & Tom & Chic & Christy Lee say they are great.  They get paid to say that though.  :-[  dpg

Have an exwife that had one....  it wasn't all that. I am a memory foam sort of guy. Whatever you decide to get, my advice is skimp on anything but a mattress and good covers.  Good sleep is priceless.....  I am offering this advice wide awake at 3:57 AM, so I may not be the one to ask! :)

Sorry guys it's the sleeping bag system they issue the military guys these days it's like 4 or 5 bags in one. I thought some of my army friends out there could give me a little insight. Ron

A lot of guys at Twin Oaks have that system.  Its a great system.  You should have asked me to get one for you at the local surplus store.  They are half price used but in great shape.

I wouldn't spend more that $150 bucks on it.  Looks like a great system, though.  MUCH better than poncho liner, rip-stop nylon poncho, and wool blanket combo that I was issued.
Any critter tastes good with enough butter on it.

Its a good system if you can come by it cheap, but there are better ones out there.  Its kinda bulky and its heavy, and in my opinion it doesnt have enough foot room.
