In about 13 days I will be waking up in HH and heading to the trail. I've been tweaking and tweaking my gear selection and I think Im at 95% completion. This year has been a very mild winter and it looks like spring is here. With the lows around 50F from Ga-Va, would it wise to swap out my 25degree bag for my 40? leave to gloves? leave the fleece liner for my rain shell? I know weather in and around the smokies is tempramental at best. I'm just curious what you guys would do if you were leaving in less than 2 weeks. i would hate to carry all that crap, not need it and go through the hastle of having someone send me my warmer weather gear.. then again I'd hate to leave it and be caught in 20degree nights with no gloves and a 40degree bag.. catch my drift?
so, to avoid confusion i am not asking for advice, someone to tell me to research weather trends over the past decade and formulate my own plan... I'm just asking what you would do, given the knowledge you have, don't have, or think you have.
