[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2424001, member: 29765"] Given all of those scenarios it’d be wise to tailor systems to certain scenarios. Personally, when it comes to really cold stuff there’s not much that’s going to keep me from coming back to camp. I know it’s possible, maybe with a pack string, but if it’s that cold I’m probably not carrying all of that on my back. If I’m backpacking in, it’s gotta be warm enough that I’m not considering a 5+lb bag and a 4-season tent. Some snow is fine and teens or even single digits would be fine, but -20° is way lower than I’d want to go with gear solely on my back. I guess there’s some gear that would make it feasible but it’s gonna be expensive. Cold nights on the mountain are the worst. Personally, my coldest weather setup I could carry is a Sea to Summit Spark 5°, 40° quilt in the Sea to Summit Traveler and a Sea to Summit liner. I think that’ll come in around 3.5 lbs and might get me down to about -10° to -15°, add puffies that I’ll probably have with me if it’s that cold and it’ll get me even lower. Plus I have 4-6 different configurations that can be used from summer to some pretty cold winter nights. [/QUOTE]
