I would say, depends on you. I would take it, you can always change it out, suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks to be cold at night. If you can, practice sleep in it, is it an you really rated to 15? You...

If you want to try one for no charge, take a single bed sheet, pin it up to liner dimension you find, try and test sleep in it with your bag. I am flippy floppy side sleeper, liners don't work at...
My son made eagle and did the full journey thru cub scouts and boy scouts. I think the shadow/presentation box is an excellent idea. He got one from his cub scout days, and it is really nice. If...
Chin has it right on, you have all winter to test your set up. Sleep temp is individual thing, you will have to be judge and jury. Being cold at night sucks. For me, no way would I bring a 30...

If you read my trip report, regarding shoes and staff, my .02 would be that they are very valuable to rent if the water level is high. Low/lower water level, maybe not needed. The rocks are...
Also, if you go to BWCA.com, I filed a trip report there, it is titled "Southern Utah wander and big wonderful land", you can see some of the stuff we did, filed under trip reports.
IMO, Bryce is...
We were there last year, you got the two choices for Zion, rent shoes, and hiking staff for the Narrows, shoes were grippy on the rocks, staff for balance. Start off Narrows hike early as possible,...
Ha, 3 in a row for the MB ULSS #2. Got mine at a going out of business sale, steal at $140.
Some of the pockets were underfilled, I had a really nice eddie bauer down jacket that met an...
Skinew,
Cmon up to cleveland, rainest April on record, going back 130+ years. If you are golfer, need ark and floating golf balls to play any course around here. Mowing lawn next to impossible,...
One bag will not be optimal, but certainly can work, especially since you are doing it X2 people. My .02 is that you can always cool off with a bag, but if it is too cold for your bag, you are going...
Or the bag is optimistically rated. IMO, Kelty makes really good tents, bags not so much, rating wise. Try it with good pad, and then see where you are. If still cold, well then maybe the bag...
well, if you can now, depending on where you live, or in the fall, test sleep at known temps to see what is what. That is the only dependable way I know to make sure you are good to go. What works...
Sucks to be cold, I would look at using that great bag to start, no matter what.
What about fitting the comp sack/bag on the outside of your pack, on back or top? Comp sacks usually have lots...
one word:
Combover, lol. OK, that would be a bad idea.
I would go with a greater spread on the ratings if you are looking at purchasing two items. A 10-15 degree bag is seriously warm, then a 30+ bag for warmer times. Sucks to be cold. Lots of...
Zom,
Good choice on the bag change, hope you got it, (the MB, I have that one) I also own the campmor 20, and for me, it is a warm 30, with simple sleeping clothes. No way a 15 degree night...
another peanut butter and honey fan. Staple for breakfast. Lean forward when eating thou, lol. Honey only good in your mouth and in container, nowhere else, lol.
Keep trying things to see if something works, I wish it would, and some combination certainly may. Hope so.
Now the negative. I would agree with your thought that possibly the Asolo boot...
Had old Timberline 2 that was delaminating on the floor only, fly was fine. Tried a few of the ones here, washing, baking soda, febreze, then recoating the area. Never could get the smell out, was...
That is a great price for a pretty high end insulation bag.
Nice job, now I just have to figure out how to get my hiking pole to stay upright and not smash the camera when it falls over. Good idea.
Liner guy all the way. Very thin poly sock, thicker smartwool, or other choice over. For me, my feet sweat a lot, and the liner passes the sweat to the other sock, as noted by other poster(s),...
JDB,
I own the campmor 20, good bag, but IMO, not 20 degree rated, more like warm 30. You could sleep warmer than me, thou. I think you need to do a couple of things before buying, if you are...
Buffalo,
I have an Aether 70 and didn't get the belt formed at first. Wore the pack a few times, and then wanted to see if the belt fitted would work. Somewhere I found instructions on how to...
