Not sure what your real expectations are for a smaller backpack... I can fit the Blackbird, MacCat Deluxe, two full length JRB 3 season underquilts and the rest of my gear in a Gossamer Gear Mariposa Plus, without getting up into the extension, with a total weight of around 25 lbs with 3 days food in a bear canister. I have two liters in a hydration bladder, usually. I carry a few extra clothing items and a fishing pole, too.
two full length JRB 3 season underquilts Two under quilts?
one is probably a top quilt
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2)
I don't believe the JRB's mentioned are differential cut quilts, so one might easily sub for a top quilt.
edit; ohh, beat me to the comment!
I often use the MWUQ4 (differential cut) as a top quilt. Differential TQs conform to your body better than flat ones...just like they do on bottom!
But a more common setup is the Nest on bottom and the NS on top. Iin winter, both on bottom and a thicker bag/quilt on top.
“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” ~Judge Joseph Story
