[at-l] last minute questions

[edwilliams at plangraphics.com (Ed Williams)]

This time of year a 40 degree back should do the trick down South, in my
opinion.  I just got off a section from Erwin to Damascus last week and my
40 degree Western Mountaineering Highlight did just fine, along with
lightweight capiliene long sleeve shirt and pants, which I always carry dry
for camp.  My coldest night was at Roan High Knob early in May, and it was
tolerable.

Enjoy your time on the trail,

Subject: [at-l] last minute questions


I have a couple quick questions to ask before I take off.  I??ll be heading
out for Springer in less than a couple weeks to do a lengthy section hike, I
only wish I could take six months off.  I just decided to order the MSR
Missing Link tent because my Sierra doesn't compare to 3 lbs.  Has anyone
used it?
Now all of a sudden I??m thinking of going even more lightweight.  You know
how it goes?
 less gear, more food, less time in town, more time to enjoy
the
trail.  Not to mention just less wear and tear on the body.  Do you think a
40 degree 700+ down bag would keep me warm enough?
Thanks for your time.  I figured whom better to ask last minute questions
than the knowledgeable group on the AT-L.
Can't wait to get on the trail,
Courtney from WI
