Light weight camping gear

Hi Josh, Santa just upgraded my thermal rest self inflating pad to one of these cots.

They even threw in a free Joey chair. The cot folds up in a small bag. Small enough for your Kitfox.

I got that same chair and cot set at OSH last year. Very nice. Small compact and light. Not to mention comfortable to lay/sit on. I can't sleep on the ground pads no matter how thick...

Thanks for all the replies guys. All that stuff looks interesting.

I do like the idea of the cots. I was looking a this one a while back

Has anyone tried fitting in a mountain Bike?

It would be great if anyone could give me a tip as my wife and I love to Mountain Bike.

I've always wondered what you could rig up under the plane for bulky stuff like that....

Not a mountain bike, but one of the guys we used to fly with would sometimes strap his camp chair to the lift strut. I have also seen pictures showing lots of strange stuff strapped to airplanes flying Alaska. I wouldn't be surprised if someday, an enterprising and creative guy will install the custom hard points and a fairing of sorts, and a bicycle will be on its way to the back country.

Not exactly light but this is the best full size mountain bike I've found. Still pretty big...

You could ask Paul Leadabrand of Stick & Rudder. He had two folding bikes (not sure if they were mountain bikes) stashed in his Kitfox baggage area when he flew in to the factory fly-in this last August.
