hey y'all, I'm headed up to maine this weekend and would love another pair of eyes to check over my gear and give me a good smack in case I'm forgetting anything critical.
EMS Women's Isolation pack 4500cc
Kelty Teton 2 tent (really heavy I know, Maybe later I will do something about it, but for now, its staying with me as a comfort)
Thermarest pro Lite shorty
Sleeping bag - either
lafuma 45* and a NF nupste down coat
or
kelty lightyear 20*
*****i tend to sleep cold and the 20* is tempting me, but I love the 45 and have used it below freezing as long as I wear thermals and my down coat. Since I will be taking the thermals anyways, I almost want to risk the 45* bag, but then again I don't want to be a popsicle. Plus I live in CT and will be able to swap things easy once I get down to this area. If anyone can help me make up my mind - much appreciated!*****
