nice vid, but just a simple actic british army sleeping bag is fine, i use the arctic in summer but leave the zip un dun, and you get cushion affect to cos its very thick bag.
ive used a normal survival bag, the hi vis orange ones in the same way as the bivvy bag before, filled it with straw and grass to make a kind of matress, worked very well,
Looks like you hve a good solid sleep system there, glad you posted this!
Those USGI ponchos are a good peice of gear to have, though they are kind of jack of all trades master of none, i.e. they make a fine tarp, but not nearly as good as an actual purpose built tarp, it gets the job done fine though. Poncho liners on the other hand I haven't used in forever. Everyone I know just calls them ranger blankets or woobies, and uses them as a blanket. Never seen anyone line a poncho with one.

Seen a lot of "roll-up" sleep systems, but your is the most comfortable I've seen by far.
