I was in the Carrizo Badlands the night before last. Chilly, indeed. But I slept comfortably with a high-calorie dinner, in all my clothes layers + silk bag liner (protects bag from dirty clothes and adds a little R) + 4 lb Western Mountaineering down bag, on top of a Therm-A-Rest Z Lite Sol pad + Tyvek tarp. Yes, the bag is quite heavy, but in my case I judge it worthwhile because I hate being cold. (And, hi! This is my first post. Great forum for a wonderful treasure of land).
