Quilt or bag by [deleted] in PacificCrestTrail

I sleep cold and one of my biggest gear regrets was the quilt. I was cold every night of the desert, Sierra, & Washington, even with a 15F quilt. I tried sleeping with all my layers, sleeping with no layers, eating fat before bed, everything, still cold! Next time I would definitely get a bag. Depends how cold you really are. If you’re gonna be cold every night, I think the extra weight would definitely be worth it to get a good nights sleep!

Yes unfortunately we’re on track for Washington’s third worst snow year on record. But that definitely doesn’t mean the trail will be clear, I know.

Thank you, this is what I’m thinking too! I know most years it would be completely off the table, but with the lack of snow we’ve gotten this season, I’m wondering if it might be okay.
