I am headed to Idaho in Sept looking for a good light weight sleep system. What do you use and why do you like it. Also you can throw in there what pad you like as well

I did the sleeping bag--bivy thing a few years ago. Never again. The bivy barely was bigger than me and my sleeping bag. One snowy cold night I had it zipped all the way and breathed all of the air out of the bivy waking up with a need for air. There was no room for my boots and jacket in there and they got wet. My suggestion is a light weight tent and sleeping bag and you'll be glad you did.

My September elk "bivy-style" hunt sleep system is:
  • Zpacks Pocket Tarp with doors --> 5.2 oz
  • Zpacks solo bathtub groundsheet --> 3.2 oz
  • Zpacks 30 degree solo quilt --> 14.8 oz
  • Thermarest Neoair X-Lite (wide) --> 15.9 oz
All in all, my entire sleep system weighs in at 2.4 lbs. However, I do sleep warm so some guys might need a warmer quilt than I run.
