My plan so far has been to wait until Damascus or so and stop in at an outfitter to buy my summer bag and summer rain jacket. I've got a MH Typhoon serving double duty as insulator when combined with fleece. By Virginia I should be able to fit into a L or maybe a M jacket. Jacket isn't a big deal due to the shrinking waist line.

But with the sleeping bag I can hit GoLite up for 40% off and get a 1lb 10oz mummy for $180 when it's normally $300. That deals not going to be there when I get to Virginia. So the question is should I buy now, save 40% and then get it shipped to me in Virginia or should I just buy along the trail?

Buy now. No big deal having your bag mailed to you on the trail. I bounced my sleeping bag ahead 2 or 3 times during the middle of the summer.

Check out the Marmot pounder, around 110 bucks and weighs 1lb.

You can guess my answer.

I'm going to change my trail name to "Golite"

I'm just going to change my name to 10-K if I keep buying everything you recommend.

Yeah, I tried the 40% off coupon on a new phantasm jacket. No deals since they already knocked the price in half.
