    Mystery Ranch Treehouse 38 Review

    If I have 20lbs or more in a pack, I like to have a frame. Can't speak for the other small frame packs, but I use our Crossfire(23L) from ALPS. It fits my Rival Micro hang-on from Hawk and 4 Helium sticks nicely, carries it great. Photos are the Hawk Helium Apex platform(it's actually inside...

    15 degree sleeping bag enough?

    I don't blame you at all. An insulated pad will help things as well.

    15 degree sleeping bag enough?

    It will vary a little of course, but +10-15 degrees from the advertised rating is the rule of thumb for comfort range on most bags. There may have been an ISO test temperature range on the tag when you bought the bag. That will generally have a comfort range on it which is more helpful...
