My wife and I have REI LT20's. Her's is a womens, and mine is a long. They zip together, they have a sleeping pad band on the back and they compress very well. I can get mine down to about 10x12" with a compression rig. As far as a stove, I just use a screw on burner for propane, I made a foam ring which holds the bottle stand and burner in a compact (9x9) unit, and I havent found carrying a bottle to be that much of a chore.All of my gear stows in 9" dia stuff sacks and dry bags. My tent is a Kelty Vortex 2 which we love, it goes up easy, and keeps us dry and warm. jim *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
