I am headed out solo on the CT August 15, and plan on finishing up mid to late September. I am choosing the Durango to Denver option to avoid the higher altitude in late September. I am trying to plan out my gear selection and was looking for some insight.
Sleeping bag - I tend to get cold pretty easily, (very little fat on me.) I have a Marmot 30* Arroyo down, but I am pretty sure that even with a silk liner it won't keep me warm enough. So I'm thinking 0-20* range. Any thoughts?
Shelter - I'm looking into the two trekking pole shelter, e.g., Black Diamond's Beta Light or Go-Lite's Shangri-La. I know people swear by the Tarp-Tents too. Better recommendations?
Sleep pad - Is the few oz. savings of a closed cell pad worth it over the comfort of an inflatable?
Thanks!
