    New Setup

    Getting ready to pull the trigger and get off the ground.

    My thoughts are to purchase the following.

    1. WBBB XLC

    2. WB Superfly

    3. Incubator 20

    4. few related Dutch gear pieces/parts

    What say the experts here?

    Input suggestions appreciated, thanks in advance folks.

    Welcome to the group, I'm no expert, but I say: I wish I had an XLC, for the tarps I went thru 4 different ones before getting the Superfly. You will need someone else to tell you about the Incubator. Dutch has some great stuff.
    My ego said, SURE you can.
    Half way in my body said OH NO YOU CAN'T

    Where do you intend to use it? Hard to say anything about the incubator in particular without knowing more details.

    Can't really go wrong with that gear selection. If it doesn't suit you perfectly, you can always resell some of the stuff here for minimal loss.

    Upper Midwest is where it will get its most use, 3 seasons down to 20 deg or so.

    Plan on running one of my lighter bags as a top quilt to start out with.

    Any other suggestions on gear choice?
