[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2669318, member: 8394"] 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. [/QUOTE]
