I am with you on the Hubba Hubba (5 lbs). In the last year I have got my girl into backpacking. She loved the desiner look and how it gave the appearence that we were backpacking pro's.

I liked it because we both have Cabela's XPG sleeping pads (she has the 72"x20" at 1 lb 12 oz and I have the 77"x25" at 2 lbs 2 oz). These pads are just the right size to put both inside the Hubba Hubba with the heads of the mat's at opposite sides to maximize space for insulation from the ground. We were able to unroll our Slumberjack sleeping bags (her's is a regular 2 lbs 14 oz and mine is a long 2 lbs 15 oz) and still had enough space to put the important gear inside the Hubba Hubba with us.

I believe we probably could have managed to put our packs inside with us, but why take up the space. Instead I strung the packs up in a tree where the critter's could not get to it with the food in the packs. I have Kelty 5600 (6 lb 1 oz) and she has the womens 2500 (3 lb 1 oz).

I am glad to hear that you liked your new Hubba Hubba. Please forgive me in all the details I put here, but I like to read about others details and figure someone might get something out of my details.
