Clarks jungle hammock, unable to sleep comfortable in any other system since purchasing two years ago.

I was debating between a sawtooth or a 3 season tent. Then I thought about the bugs and decided to get the B.A. Cooper spur ul 2. Love it so far. I use a thermo rest pro pad and a Mt Hardware 15 degree down bag. If it looks like it might be a wet trip I may throw in my ul bivy just to make sure my bag stays dry. It weighs almost nothing and I just pack it in the bottom of my bag. So far I'm pretty stoked on my camp/sleep system.

Kifaru paratarp with a omni raven bivy or a ba flycreek ul2 for my shelter. Marmot helium for a bag and a thermarest neoair for a pad. Mainly used for archery elk in Sept

Nemo Pentalite, Exped insulated pad, and I just got my new EE quilts last week (10* Revelation for me when alone, and a 20* Accomplice for when the girlfriend comes along).  I'll be trying the Accomplice out this weekend on a spring bear hunt in the Blues.

Depends on the hunt.  If it's just me, I go with big agnes fly creek UL3.  If with my larger group of 3-5 people or a late season cold hunt, I pack up the Seek Outside 8 man tipi and stove.  Feathered Friends down sleeping bag w/liner.  Neo-air sleeping pad, and if it's a longer duration hunt (ie 4+ days) I pack in the thermarest ultra lite cot.  If it's hot weather scouting trip, I just pack the cot and it's bug liner, instead of a tent.

I use a MSR Hubba, Thermarest Prolite Plus, and then if its warmer a older Kelty Cosmo Down 20 or my North Face Hightail 3S if its colder.  Going to be going to a hammock system hopefully this year ... or next year.  Gotta still figure out what I want, and get the funds.  Trying to find flat spots in the mountains sucks.  I also dont sleep very well on the ground.  I dont know if a different pad would be better but I always get sore and roll around a lot.

I have a tent, a sleeping bag and a pad - apparently those are now called sleep systems.

I run a Marmot gore tex down bag I bought in college in 1996, whatever pad I can find and fit in my ruck and a go-lite 1 man tent most times unless I am with a buddy and then I run the REI Half-Dome long.

Water and down don't mix, synthetic doesn't last, pick your poison.

Seek Outside Cimarron, might add a stove if I end up hunting in November.

Mountain Hardware Ultra Lamina 30° bag with Sea to Summit Reactor to bring the rating down to roughly 10° if necessary. Thermorest Pro Lite pad, emergency blanket as a groundcloth.

ENO double nest hammock, ENO rainfly, ledge 20 degree bag, custom ccf pad. Set up anywhere there are trees or large rocks, sloped or wet ground. No sore spots and if there is a breeze you get rocked to sleep.

Everything plus the fly stakes, atlas straps, and the shock cord = 6lbs.

Big Agnes 3 man UL tent, Thermarest X-Therm, and either my 10 degree EE quilt or my 0 degree Wiggys bag depending on situation.

Update: Used the EE quilt for the first season. I took it to Alaska and had the worst 10 days of sleep I've ever had on a hunt. The quilt was promptly fired when I returned from Alaska and I've since replaced it with a down bag.
