I know this has been discussed before, but here goes again...
What have prior thru hikers used, down or synthetic and what temp rating?
I'm hoping to leave GA April 1st. I have a TNF Flight 35 degree bag (2 lb 2 oz).
I was considering using that in conjunction with a sub 16 oz down jacket.
If not, Campmor has a TNF 20 degree bag, but with the compression bag it weights in at 3 lb 5 oz.
Is it worth the investment in one of the sub 2 lb down bags?
Also, has anyone used a sil-nylon stuff sack instead of the heavy nylon ones that usually come with the bag?
Can it handle the repeated daily stuffing?
Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!
