I wouldn't be able to compress my current sleeping bags, they're the flannel type and I can barely get them into their mssive packs now without forcibly squeezing it between my legs

Yeah, I think I will head over to MEC during the spring gear swap event and see is there are any deals to be had for some sleeping bags. Would like to keep it under $150/each. I assume kids don't really need a special sized sleeping bag, right?

Received the Papa Hubba today and set it up in my basement. I was amazed by how small it compacts. Also pretty intuitive to set up and remarkably I didn't need to finesse it too much to get it back into its little sack. I was going to wait until the rest of my family was home to see how we al fit, but the cat was pacing around with a look in its eyes that it wanted to scratch something. I don't now if the nylon is scratch resistant, so I quickly took it down and put it away.

I had originally thought we might only take the tent to Iceland, but if we can get some 4 sleeping bags here and stuff everything into a duffel bag for the flight that would be ideal, instead of renting sleeping bags there for what it would cost to buy them here.
