    Cold spot middle of back

    Was able to hang for the first time since getting my Winter Nest. Had a cold spot right between my shoulder blades. I didn't feel any gaps. Cure?

    Can you have too warm under quilt?

    I am going hiking on the AT in June (Front Royal to Harper's Ferry). My under quilt is rated down to 10 degrees. Will that be too much?

    Quick follow up, got to 20 and realized the issue was my top quilt. When I got cold it was the top and not the bottom. Looking now at JRB High Sierras Snivler.

    I regularly go down to 28F. That is with SS and over cover, 20 degree bag, and down hat. Adding a warmer bag and placing a light sleeping bag under pad should get you to 20.

    Thanks for this info. I wondered if I would really save weight. It seems to me it is the adjustability that is the reason to switch. For me I'll keep the stock suspension.

    I have had good experience running a very light line between the o-rings of the tarp. Acts like a ridge line to a large extent.

    I'm 275 (hope to be under 250 someday) and feel very safe in the HH Expedition. Any rating is the weight something can hold comfortably over and over again. It is nowhere near the max it can hold.

    The concern is how they are attached at the top and bottom, some are held in place mainly by the downward pressure of what it is supporting.
