Planning on 9-10 days Sobo AT from the Mason/Dixon which at my leisurely pace will only take me into NoVa. So 4 days or so in MD and the rest in Nova.
Question is either/or....Nemo Disco 30 bag or Snugpak Jungle bag(I could take a Costco down throw too). I'll be in a BA FC UL2. To me its a difficult decision as I think the Disco maybe a bit much and I know the Jungle bag is really questionable below 60*...too much or to little. The Disco is 36oz, the Jungle bag 32oz, down throw 15oz in stuff sack. Obviously the Jungle bag plus option is stupid heavy but its what I have and because I'm going bike packing after this trip my budget for gear is maxxed out with bike packing stuff(and I'm going to consider/try out a Osprey Levity vs my 3.6lb Stratos(which I love outside of the weight) while on sale at REI).
Other info: Jungle bag packs down to under 2L, Disco 5+L, down throw 1+L.
I know camping at 1500' or more I can not rely on local forecasts for the area(until I'm there with my phone reporting position for the interpolated weather) which indicates temps around Harpers will be around 60* at night
