I've since replaced the jacket and am going to buy an inflatable mattress (not sure between Exped SIM Comfort 5 or Down mat 5), but it got me out there and I've actually got some really nice, expensive kit for dirt cheap. All of it is in good working order. Scour your op shops/thrift shops when you're near them.
