Most of my camping is in the south, very hot and wet climates. Largely over water or very close to it, I typically prefer a hammock to stay dry.
Have a little shack in WY, and do quite a bit of back packing there whenever I can get away and just relax. Thus far I have not packed a shelter or sleeping bag, but use either brush or a sleeping pad, and a tarp. Additional clothing for warmth. I have managed this in snow and sleet at some pretty decent elevations. Mostly managed to have and keep decent fire and hot stones. Anyway, I am a very warm sleeper, warm in general, but have never been particularly comfortable, enjoyed the simplicity. Probably dangerous.
Going to Colorado to help a buddy that lives out there. We'll be out for second rifle. Walking in. Figured I should have a bag and shelter for this. Any particular recommendations on bag temps and bags? I like the idea of the WM and FF bags, made in America, high quality. But they might be a lot of money for how much use I'd give them. So far Its been suggested that I get 0-30 bags, which is quite a spread to choose from.
I am a warm sleeper, I don't mind wearing clothes to bed. I can sleep on rocks, the deck of a boat, the bed liner of a truck.. you get the idea. I am 6'1" and a larger build. I sleep on my side at home, but not so much on the hard for obvious reasons. But I guess I wouldn't mind it as an option. Down south I have cheap Kelty Synthetic bags, pretty wide mummy bags. Barely any insulation. Good for what we do, but not something I could imagine packing with additional insulation.
Thanks for your help!
