It makes a big difference, Nanno, to get a hot shower now & then! We bring a solar shower as well. Even if the sun doesn't warm the water enough, you can always heat water on a camping stove to bring the shower up to temperature.
I see the Helinox Cot weighs a little over 4 lbs. I pack a lightweight air mattress, the Neoair. I also started bringing small stools because I was getting really tired of sitting on the ground when I am cooking, or hanging out in camp. They weigh about 1 lb each.
The Wind River Trip sounds incredible! In Idaho, we are so fortunate to live a short distance from a number of wilderness areas. We are planning a longer (8-10 day) trip to the Frank Church late this summer or early fall. I love the idea of planning "loop" hikes, or hiking to one spot, establishing a "base camp," and doing day-hikes from there.
