[QUOTE="shortshooter, post: 226027, member: 7359"] I'm up in N Idaho on the I-90 corridor. I hunt with the TW and also backpack into destinations. In the cold I like at least a -20 bag, that's because I lived in Montana for 6 years. It gets a bit cold around the Yellowstone areas. Besides the bag a person needs a good Ex Ped insulated down pad and a cheap blue closed cell foam pad. This insulates you from the cold ground and keeps the core temp and bag quite toasty. Also sleeping on your side seems to help some folks as well. IMO the Ex Ped pad is just as important as a good bag. There are lots of good bags these days. Western Moutaineering and ID, Featherd Friends are tops picks and don't forget others like Mountain Hardware, Big Agnes, and REI make some nice stuff as well. Just make certain it fits and is comfortable. A -20 is a lot of bag and in Idaho our temps are usually warmer than the central rockies. [/QUOTE]
