[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1680473, member: 54178"] Yep, I would use the foil bag from the first day IF I was staying more than 3 days. That 0F. bag should do the trick. Remember you can lower that bag's temperature range by wearing medium to heavy poly long johns. REMEMBER, clothes worn inside the VBL foil bag will be very damp from your body sweat and will need to be dried. These long johns are ONLY for sleeping, as are the socks. ->Also when in a tent where my feet will likely touch the frosty interior tent wall I zip up my Gore-Tex parka snd slide it all the way over the foot of my sleeping bag. Keeps the foot of the bag from melting the tent wall frost nd it gives more warmth where you need it most. ->And you can lay your pants and shirt or sweater flat under your mattress for more insulation. ->Finally I recommend a light fleece balaclava for sleeping B/C it's very difficult to sleep in a bag with the hood cinched down to only a "blow hole". Also I recommend you carry the balaclava during the dayin the event of very bad weather. The blaclava can be worn under a regular cap if the cap is adjustable. After your trip you can send me $10. in gratitude for the balaclava tip. ;o) Eric B. [/QUOTE]
