How big them grapefruits where you guys live? I have a TNF 35 degree Polarguard bag and it might resemble a Large pinapple, sure, but not a grapefruit. Ofcourse I'll think of the name of the bag when I hit send. For my 2 cents on the thread I use a coated silver bivy bag that weighs little and is grapefruit sized and I carry a ration of fleece top and bottoms, hats and gloves. I would count on pfd's and spraydecks, wind shadows, etc, to insulate from the ground and block wind. Maybe even try to find some sun. When on a day trip away from base camp? Whole new can o' worms. I think I would pack the tent and bag back into boat in bear country, as bears treat them like toys. I would count on the trips eq list to supply the hypothermia protection to avoid redundancy.
