Ha, I was just gonna post up something about the Desert Walker; great minds think alike I guess. I picked up one a few years ago with the intent of "packing it in" on backcountry hunts. I never have strapped it on my pack but have used it at a type of "base camp #2" in the spud state. We had our main base camp (wall tent, etc.) and set up a second mini base camp (tipi, stove, etc.) about 15 miles from the main. That was used a few times if we decided to hunt way over thataway for a few days. I thought the Desert Walker cot worked fine in concert with a good pad at base camp #2. Honestly, I entertained the idea of strapping the 2.6 lb cot to my Exo Mtn Gear pack but each time I decided I did not want to pack the extra weight and really, the Nemo Tensor pad worked well enough I didn't miss the cot a bit.
The downmat 7 longwide is 36oz .
If a person was willing to carry 3 lbs for the best night sleep you could get in a tent...How about the XPED MegaMat Lite? Check out this gem!https://www.moosejaw.com/product/exped-megamat-lite-12-sleeping-pad_10363842

I'd use one of those on a base camp cot but no way I'm packing 3 LBs of pad into the backcountry. My xtra wide/long Nemo Tensor works just fine and dandy and weighs less than half that
Maybe you should look at the thermarest ultra light. I am a taller fella and ordered the longer and wider one. Or wait until I post a review. Maybe its just that I am getting older and a pansy.
