note... when packing your tent... DO NOT ROLL IT. tent's don't need to be rolled... it's a waste of time and it's more of a pain when setting up.

pack it in so that the first thing in is the rain fly, then the polls then the tent stakes, then the body and finally the ground cover. just stuff the tent, rain fly and ground cover... but mindfull not to tear the tent on a stake or poll (not that easy to do)

this way when you go to set up your tent... they come out in the order you'll need them.... the ground cloth, the tent, stakes, polls, then rain fly. makes life easier especially when setting up after dark.

I researched the pad, pretty well. Even though it isn't self inflating like the thermarest, people seemed to hate the thermarest over the big agnes. What were you going to recommend?

As far as the bag, I just looked for something that packed small and was pretty cheap. I saw this Eureka bag at gander mountain yesterday and it fit the bill. What were you going to recommend in this?

I can always return the shit I don't like.
