[QUOTE="Rifleman513, post: 1420433, member: 32318"] The best thing about wool is it retains its insulating properties even when wet, down does not. Merino base layers are great and dry quickly. I always carry a down jacket and rain jacket. Those two items can get you through a lot of weather. Having a good insulating layer and a good hardshell outer are essential. For bags I like to carry the extra weight of a synthetic bag. Down bags are lighter, but like I said don't insulate well when wet. Newer treated down is great, but will also be more expensive. As far as shelters, on backpacking trips floorless shelters are great. They save weight and you have the option of adding in a titanium wood stove which is great for drying out gear and warming up during colder weather. This year was the first time I used one with a stove and it was a game changer. Having the ability to really get warm in your shelter at night and thoroughly dry clothing was awesome. [/QUOTE]
