I'm wondering about using this for a hiking/camping situation to conserve scarce fuel. Can anyone tell me how much it weighs? I need to know the actual weight to determine if it is reasonable to carry in a backpack. thanks.

Bookini, mine weighs about 2.5 pounds. You'd obviously also need to carry a pot and lid, and having some kind of cloth to line the bag is a good idea. (I use two dish towels.) The big problem is that it is VERY bulky. You can try to roll it up tightly, but it will take up a lot of space. I use my Wonderbag all the time, but honestly, for camping I think I'd be more likely to dig a hole and bury the pot in the ground, with coals on top, unless the ground was frozen. Rolled up, my Wonderbag is at least 1/3 the size of my sleeping bag.

I've never put it on a scale, but I carry it in my pack while trekking and the weight is negligible. Weighs less than a cell phone for sure. It is just a plastic box with a battery and a small circuit card.

It comes in a nylon bag with a webbing handle. It is heavy, but I'm not sure anout tje actual weight. Weighs half as much as one my friend has. It would work as a spare bed, but I wouldn't take it camping and I definitely wouldnt carry it in a pack. I will say that ours, on the third night of use, slowly deflated over the night to about half full by morning. Woke up and my parents were sleeping on the couch and love seat. Havent checked it so I could have simply not closed the valve well enough.That being said, it is pretty comfortable when fully inflated and doesn't have an outrageous weight. Hope this helps.

Next to nothing. How much does air weigh? This thing is a couple ounces at best. Perfect for extended hikes.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I bought the item as a gift for someone who had it on their wish list. I never used it or opened it! It WAS extremely light weight though so for backpacking it would be very convenient to have.

I personally think it's too heavy/bulky to transport. It's really big and a pain to roll up and put away. I would not recommend it for camping.

I don't have it handy but I would say around a pound. It is very light weight and compact. If you are looking for something to keep you warm in 50 degree weather this is too thin. If you are looking for something that will be good for backpacking and used in reasonably nice climates, this is definitely a good purchase. I have taken mine all over. I would say the warmth is about equivalen to a slightly thicker flannel sheet. I did my research before buying and this was the best option in terms of space. If you don't care about warmth, the only thing I have used that is smaller is the silk sleeping sacks...but also expensive. I think you will be happy with this item.

Its lite. Maybe 3.5 lbs give or take a half pound. I wouldnt recommend using it for hikes because its too big to strap to your pack and its cumbersome to carry by hand.

I don't know the exact weight but I can tell you I wouldn't want to carry it around like a walking stick all day. However, if you're tracking in to a spot from your truck and setting up you'll love it. I would strap it to my pack and hike in one or two kilometers no problem. Super stable and when used from a sitting position it's like shooting off a bench. I highly recommend it.

Not sure of the weight but I would not backpack with it. I only use it for car camping.. And it's real bulky

Not good for backpacking if that is what you are thinking....... About 1o lbs in the bag

It is pretty heavy. I doubt one will use it for camping. I like this item. I put it on wood surface and it is comfortable enough for sleeping.

It's two pounds anyway, and if you've hiked any distance with a 50+ pound backpack then you know that weight is everything. Items like this add up, I really like to have a shovel around while camping but if this one gets to heavy then maybe i'll leave it in the car next time. Only time will tell. The construction of this particular shovel is very good and I'll update my review if heavy use takes its toll on it. Good Luck.

Difficult to tell really and don't have the packaging left so I'd say it's quite light but I had bought it for hiking but since I'm very careful with added weight in my backpack, I chose to bring a different one cuz it's still too heavy for my needs .. Sorry don't have a scale to be more precise

As I recall, it's 7 or 8lbs as advertised. Heavy if your hiking with it, likely.. but I bought it for motorcycle camping, so was light compared to all the rest of my gear. Lighter than my leather! :)

I didn't look, It is very small. Backpacker size for sure. Get a bigger one if your camping not packing it in.

Packs down to under a pound with tent pegs. Depends on if you roll it or fold it. If folded it is about the size of a 1 gallon zip lock. It will fit in your backpack while taking up minimal space. My husband has tested it and loves it. It seems to be a great choice for backpacking.
