Next week my college age daughter and I will be doing 3 days on the AT in NJ. We've never done a true backpacking trip and are very excited (and slightly anxious about the bears...there are lots of them here).
I'll be in a HH Explorer Deluxe with SS. She has a HH Expedition and will use the Walmart blue CCF pad.
Temps in the night will only go down to mid 50's.
Question is, do I need to use the OCF for these temps or is SS undercover alone enough? My bag is a +20 Mountain Hardware Lamina bag.
Any pointers for my daughter with the CCF pad are also appreciated.
Thanks,
