[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 479026, member: 10391"] I think the sleeping bag temp rating you have chosen is not sufficient for late October hunt's in the high country. I have seen the temperature go to -5 or more many nights in October. I use a North Face tapered bag synthetic fill. Weighs 4.5 lbs and is rated to -40. It's good to about -15 on a thermarest pad in a tent that has a floor then you have to put some socks on ect. I agree with the 3 days out. That's what we used to do. We carried our packs every day and stayed where ever we were when it got dark. You might want to use a water container so that you can melt the water in case it freezes. You have a lot of stuff in your list for only going 5 miles from your truck. You can hike that in a couple hours but we are all different with our needs and I don't know yours. Have fun that's the important thing. [/QUOTE]
