sleeping bag opinions
Would anyone care to comment on the EMS mountain lite 20 degree bag?
When are u leaving Springer? I guess it would be inadequate if you are leaving very soon. It's a pretty lightweight bag, although you can get lighter for that rating bag. It's solid. As long as you left in march, it would be a fine bag for the first 1200 miles or so. After that you'll likely need to trade it out for something lifter and more in tune with summer months.

I am leaving in late march/early april
i have a Campmor 20* bag that is cheap and works greatOriginally Posted by valiweva
you'll be fine with that bag
Should be a good bag for your trip. I used a 20* synthetic in 1990 for a March 25th start and was only cold on 2 nights.
I have 2 EMS Mountain Light 0* bags and love them...I bought the second one just because I liked the first one so much and found a good deal. The first one is 8-10 years old and still going strong...haven't needed to use the new one yet.

trash compactor bag. Is your bag synthetic?

no 750 fill down bag
Then you should just stick it in a trash compactor bag.

Going SOBO and cant decide what degree of bag I will need. Leaving mid-june, I Figure I could get away with a higher degree bag than NOBO hikers because it will be warmer in the South, any thoughts?
I have the EMS Mountain Lite 20 and I love it. EMS.com is having a sale right now, and for $167.30 this bag is a steal:

Yes, you can find lighter, but for that price and loft I haven't found a better deal. FYI, I'm between 6' and 6'1" and the regular size fits me like a glove.
This is an adventure.
sorry, thaught it said sleeping bag onions.

Thanks
Thanks for the heads up on the EMS sale of the 20 degree bag. I just placed my order for it. Just what I'm looking for.
That is a great price for a pretty high end insulation bag.
You really need to spend time sleeping outside in a variety of temps to really know. For me if im gonna use a 20 degree bag it better never drop below 40. I sleep really cold. I carry a -10 sleeping bag and im comfortable at 20 degrees. Know yourself before you buy. However i see your from Mass. so you should be ok in the cold.
