I'm starting June 15. What temp rated sleeping bag should I stat out with? I have a 40F and a 20F bag. I was thinking of starting with the 20F and then changeing to the 40F in Hanover. If I don't need the extra temp rating through Maine and the White's then I would start with the 40F for the weight savings.
I'm starting a little earlier than you, and using a -5C (about 20F) bag. It's going to be a bit heavy, but I expect there will be a few nights where I'm glad I have it.

I was thinking the same thing. Starting with the 20F just to play it safe. Just hoping someone who had started in June in the past may have a diffrent oppenion but I guess not. Thanks
