Well, I've settled on 2 WB blackbird double layer and 2 WB ridge runners, and 4 cloudburst tarps. I plan on using pads and a 30* sleeping bag instead of quilts, because there will probably be times when sleeping on the ground is necessary. I'll test out one of each before I go, and will let my wife and daughters test each one too. If one (bridge vs regular) is overwhelmingly better than the other, I may return or sell the less desirable and stick with all four of the one we like.
Normal temperatures in the first week of May on our section will be down into the 40s at night. I'm a little apprehensive about this, seems like others have reported being cold at this temp with a bag and pad combo. Any recommendations for pads with this setup?
thanks!
