I really like the North Face Cat's Meow bag I got early this summer;
it's PolarGuard 3D, rated at 20 degrees F, which is about as thin as
you'd want up here in Alaska. PolarGuard 3D is pretty cool stuff;
really light, compressible, and stays warm when wet.

I've got 2 stoves; primary is a Peak 1, burns white gas. The thing
always works; a good thing too, since the only other stove among the 5
of us on a 10-day trip early this summer was a broken Whisperlite.
Those are far too fiddly for my tastes.

The other stove is a simple, light, connect-to-the-can-of-butane stove
for shorter trips when I can get by with a single can. Can be hard to
get going in the cold, though.
