I like the Kuiu Mountain star as well. I'm running the stone glacier 0 degree and it's too warm for most of the camping/hunting I do but never had it below 20.

Better to have it and not need I always say. Good planning. What about that night when all preparations and weather reports go wrong and you are left with the one bag that will keep you alive. Take it from myself and the ones that have had that unfortunate occurrence happen. Hopefully you never have to witness others succumb to the elements. You will never get that out of your head. Trust me.

I have plenty of horrid **** I wish I could erase out of my memory bank but I hear what your saying and couldn't agree more.

Throw it down pair of pants like a Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer and a jacket in your bag it weighs a couple of ounces each. It may be traumatic to see someone who froze to death but the reality is it's pain in the rear to have the wrong bag either direction.
Last few years I've done a lot of boat repair in remote areas with facilities closed. To preserve brain cells when doing the glass work I camp next to the boat instead of sleeping on it. Its been busy enough that October of this year I slept on a pad in the cold more than in my bead at home, last project was 6 days first 2 nights were low teens, last 3 were above freezing. My middle weight bag is flat out worn out so I opted for my -30 bag. Slept toasty with the shirt and shorts first nights. By day 4 it was an arm and leg out kinda deal. Day 6 was a scramble to finish and woke up sweating with a frozen foot sticking out the side of the bag. It's very possible to over do insulation and wind up miserable. Modern weather predictions can leave you stranded, but nothing like decades ago. It's always optimum to match your gear as much as possible to need.
