The Cats Meow is a The North Face sleeping bag rated to +20. It is a very well designed bag and I have owned one for about 15 years. It is Polarguard which I would recommend over down for any water sport because down doesn't work when wet. If you want more room, go for a bigger bag but I recommend you stick with a quality name brand because there are factors that matter such as draft shields and differential cut that make a big difference in felt warmth. As for stoves, I have a Coleman Peak 1. It is bulkier and heavier than the MSR Wisperlights but it does simmer as well as really throw a hot flame. I just read the post about the MSR Dragonfly and I will be looking that stove up. One good thing about Coleman is the basically use the same tried and true system in all their stoves, and they all work with minimum maintenance. I stayed away from the wisperlight because it doesn't simmer and I don't like the way you have to prime it.
