I am Hiking the PCT this year and have actually already started. With an early start and record low snow in the Sierra's I think I will be getting to Kennedy meadows by late May. I am a little worried about my sleeping system being adequate. This is what I have and can wear at night:
1. WM caribou (35 deg)
2. Ibex Merino Hoody
3. Montbell U.L. Down jacket
4. North face summit series wind jacket
5. Icebreaker Merino bottoms
6. Montbell wind pants
7. Thermarest NeoAir xlite
I know this is good down to 30 and possible 25 degrees.
I do prefer to sleep with out my tent at night if possible.
Do you think it will get below 25 at night in early June?
If so does a tent (Gossamer Gear The One) help for a few degrees more?
Can I use my tent like Bivey sack in the middle of the night if I wake up cold or will that make things worst with condensation?
I do have a Marmot zero degree bag I can swap at Kennedy Meadows at twice the weight of the Caribou.
Another Idea I had was Ditch the Tent and Caribou bag at Kennedy Meadows and take the zero degree bag and Use my MLD Cuben Poncho/Tarp for a shelter if I need one.
Any feedback would be appreciated
Thanks
