[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1540826, member: 105926"] I generally do solo backpack hunt and hikes on the AT so that’s what by gear is based on. For anything 30 degrees and above (and even down to 20 degrees) I use an Enlightened Equipment 20 degree quilt. I believe it’s some where around 25 oz and I prefer a quilt paired with a good insulated pad (I use a Big Agnes insulated pad) for anything above 30. It’s lighter and more packable than a mummy bag and allows me to easily vent for warmer temps in early season hunts. Those quilts are also large enough to tuck under to prevent drafts in cooler temps. For anything colder I use either a 0-10 degree down mummy bag in dryer cold conditions or a synthetic in wet cold conditions. The reason for the synthetic is that I will try and “bake” my self dry should I get wet (this is especially important since I am usually hunting solo). I have a Sierra designs down and mountain hardware synthetic. [/QUOTE]
