That's the size of a Nalgene water bottle. I don't know the warmth rating of such bag, but must be great for camping in h_ell.
Why so angry?

First, get your buddies to carry the camera gear (just kidding). However, carrying 10lbs of camera gear does counter with the whole idea of lightweight backpacking so no one can help you there. My camera is 4 oz and takes great pictures. Admittedly, I am not much of a Photographer.

With respect to sleeping bags, thanks to 10d fabrics, differential cuts, and 850 plus down fill, we are now seeing sub 2 lb sleeping bags good to -10C (often EN rated - independently tested albeit not perfect but at least allows comparison between bags). If you go toward a quilt, you are looking at 1.5 lbs versions of this.

Do they require more care? Yes. No question.
