I’m headed to the brooks range for a 15 day middle of September hunt for moose.
I’m stuck on a what sleeping pad and bag. I’d like to buy a Kifaru or Nemo based on reviews. however realistically I may use this bag every 5 years. I dream of deep country Idaho hunt and or Wyoming back country but let’s be real I live in the Deep South. I don’t do a lot of backpacking and camping and when I do I weigh out sleeping naked vs the bug bites.
So my question is you drop all this money on a big hunt where we will be spike camping using horses I don’t want to tap out beaucae I’m so cold I quit it. Outfitter said plan for worst case 0 degrees and 40 best case.
I’m fine buying a nice pad which I have no clue witch one. But can I get away with using like a black Ovis 0 degree bag and save $300.00
As for what I’m considering
Pads
Nemo flyer pad $139
Big angus q core $159
See to summit comfort plus $199.00
Bags
Big Agnes 0 degree $209
Black ovis 0 degrees $189
Vs
Nemo $549.00
Kufari $500.00
Thanks for any in site
