[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1541767, member: 1940"] Lots of really good advice here. Most of my cold weather experience has been from guiding elk hunters in western CO for a good number of years, and decades of back county skiing and ski mountaineering here as well. I went ultra light in my 30’s and am currently refining more. I’ll agree Western Mountaineering products are the best I have used for this environment. An insulated pad of some sort is essential. I’m using an insulated Big Agnes air pad. Light, small and it works. My bag is an old MountainSmith 20 degree down bag. No quilt I can unzip or sleep in my other layers. My clothing and sleeping gear are all part of a system that can all be used together if necessary... even my rain suit. My tent is a floor-less tarp tent that weighs 2#, and this year I’ll start packing a roughly 6.25# rifle scoped and ready to go. As I age weight is more important than ever, I get cold easier, and a warm comfortable nights sleep can make or break a week long hunt. [/QUOTE]
