OK, we've got our bag of holding sorted out. We'd initially been looking at the Macpac Utopia but, while it was a damn nice bag, it was just too heavy for what we needed. We're aiming to carry around 9kgs in total, and the Utopia was well over 4kgs by itself.
We've gone with the Aarn Featherlite Freedom, at 1.8kgs (including two front balance packs). If you're into long-distance hiking, these packs are well worth looking into. We've loaded them up once or twice with weights and they're really comfortable. The balance packs are waaaay cool -- instead of a single back that clips to your chest, this pair of packs clip to either side of your chest so you can see where you're placing your feet. These guys have thought of everything!
We've also got the sleeping bag situation sorted. The Western Mountaineering Summerlite is supposed to be able to handle 0 degree temperatures... something I hope we don't have to test! Brrrrr!!!
