So, how often do you wind up using these cots? To me, they seem like they would be nice once in a while but not worth carrying around all the time. Obviously you guys feel differently, so I'm curious to hear how else they can be useful.

We don't use them frequently, but when we do use them they come in VERY handy. For example, when we ran with the bulls in Pamplona, our only option was to sleep in the park. Without them we would have been miserable.

I certainly wouldn't blame someone for not carrying the cot, though. If for some reason I wanted to pare down further it would be at the top of the list. I think our 28L bags are a perfect size, so my goal is to pack as much utility as possible into that space.

Thanks for reading!
