First Post!!! I'm wanting to purchase an UQ & TQ soon, but I'm not sure what degree combination I should use for my thru. I'll be starting mid March, and I know how cold the weather can get here in the Smokies...I was looking at doing the HammockGear 3/4 0 Degree UQ, and doing a 40 Degree TQ in hopes of being able to mix and match what I'll use depending on the weather. Not sure if this is a good idea and am looking for opinions! Thanks!
everyone is different. a carried a 20 degree top and bottom in march. you might consider a 20 bottom and 40 top if you are not going to swap out up the trail.
I started in Jan and went with a 30 top and bottom with a pad for more range and sleeping options. I went down to the single digits with that and some clothing but never went to ground.
Thank you guys. If anyone has any more advice I'd love to hear it! This website has really helped me out, has loads of information! Looking forward to March!
Best Wishes for your max adventure 2013. Please be sure to keep us anchored wannabees informed. Gosh I love my WBBB.:):):)
