TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Just discovered this site recently and am very impressed.
I have used a 3/4 length standard thermarest which i bought several years ago and it really kills my back. I recently bought the thickest kathmandu self inflating mat and it is fantastic. It is about 5cm thick and very comfortable. Its great for camping out of a seakayak but quite bulky and over a kilo. I got it on sale for about $70.
I am getting a friend to get me a neoair in america. I tried to get one online but they will not send to Australia. The cost in Australian stores is $309 for the large and is $169 in the US. It is very frustrating that a lot of outdoor gear is nearly double the cost in Australia!!!
