What's in your elk pack part 2 - Sleep System

Let’s roll with part 2 of this super awesome series of threads on “what’s in your elk pack”. What do you cats have in your elk pack for a sleep system? For the purpose of these threads, let’s assume we’re talking about pack in hunts.
I carry the following:
Tent – Nemo Hornet 2 Person w/footprint
Bag – VIAM Outdoors 10 degree quilt
Pad – Klymit Insulated Static V
Pillow – Klymit (can’t remember the style/name)
Chair (if I’m feeling energetic) – Wildhorn Terralite
Cot (if I’m feeling really energetic) – Desert Walker Outdoor UL
I may end up packing in my Luxe Megahorn Tipi this year so hunting partner and I can camp/hunt in style (and have a bit more protection against the late September Idaho wilderness area weather). Of course with the Tipi goes the Lite Outdoors Titanium stove.
Well, what's in your elk pack for a sleep system?

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
