[QUOTE="dmj, post: 1420756, member: 73479"] My backpack has a down puffy and an uninsulated waterproof jacket with a hood in it and it never comes out. I don't care what time year it is, it stays right there. I then layer with different weights of merino wool. They are light, not very bulky and provide fairly good warmth. Then add or remove as temp and hiking conditions demand. If weather is cold enough (for me that is down around the 10 degree mark) I will wear a wool coat. To me a lot of it depends on the type of hunting you are going to do. Be on the move, sitting on a point, stopping often to sit and glass, etc. For a tent I agree with Rifleman a good floor less shelter, tipi with the titanium wood stove can be the difference between really enjoying your trip and just plain being down right out miserable. I use a down sleeping bag. I am sure there are better. But it's light and packs down well and so far has served me well. One thing that I find helps me is a good sleeping matt that protects you from the ground not only hardness but the cold. The unfortunate part of all these suggestions is that they are expensive and some you will like and some you probably won't. But I guess that's part of the learning process. Good luck and enjoy yourself. [/QUOTE]
