15 day Moose float trip gun case, tent experiences and suggestions?

Ask away if you have any questions.... there is nothing like an Alaska float trip.

Except an Alaska Sheep hunt

Nothing to add, but tagging as that is a bucket list trip for me. Sounds awesome. Good luck!

I have a Mountain hardware conduit SL sleeping bag that is rated for much colder than it should be while we are there. It is a nylon shell and lining but has Goosedown in it. Should I find one with a synthetic filling that will dry out easier? Any suggestions on brands. The one I have in the dry bag is about 5 pounds so I’m trying to stay close to
that

Does anyone have first hand experience and suggestions for a inflatable sleeping pad? Comfort is obviously important but it also needs to be light and compact for the flights in and out. I’ve never used one but being out there for over two weeks and possibly freezing temps I think it’s going to be a requirement for this trip.

When I was doing float trips up there we used Thermarest self inflating pads.  Closed cell foam inside and you're able inflate to your liking.  Even if they had a leak they insulated you from the ground, usually a gravel bar.
