the model you linked is not only super heavy, but I doubt would get you near comfortable. you will also need to pair either bag with matching r value ground insulation. for instance a pad like this
https://www.amazon.ca/KLYMIT-Insulated-Static-Camping-Orange/dp/B00ANRW7DI/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1494229667&sr=1-1&keywords=klymit+insulated+static+v THis is a huge mistake many people make. The ground insulation is paramount.

The model below is a better option.

It's also better to NOT compress your bag. Line your pack with a trash compactor bag, push the sleeping bag into the bottom of your pack. Not in a stuff sack.

Sleeping bags: I just upgraded to enlightened equipement quilts and would suggest it but I believe those are out of your price range. My old bag was a eureka silver city 30F (retailed around $80). My husband used to use a teton sports 20F bag off amazon (cheap, sorta light for a budget bag, and decent quality).

Sleeping pads: You mentioned thermarest sol. I own a zlitesol pad and it is a great pad. I like that I can strap it to my pad very easily (accordion shape). It has a decent Rvalue for its weight as well. The pad is bombproof--it will take a beating and still work great. On the other hand it isn't particularly comfortable. I ended up upgrading to a exped synmat ul7 pad due to the fact that I am a side sleeper and the zlite started to hurt my hips especially in cold weather.

cooking utensils: This depends on what you plan on eating. I simply use a titanium long spoon. (It also comes in a spork version). I prefer the long handle because I tend to eat a lot of the dehydrated packs of foods. The long handle keeps my fingers from getting sticky/covered in my dinner.

Food: For dinners you cant go wrong with the simplicity of a dehydrated pack such as Mountain house. My favorite flavors include lasagna with meat sauce and chili mac. Only downside is that they are not super healthy and tend to be on the heavy side. For snacks I will take an assortment of cliff bars, snickers, trail mix, pepperoni, babybell cheese, crackers.

first aid kit: mine is homemade and has tape, tweezers, small roll gauze, a few bandaids of various sizes, 2 alcohol wipes, benedryl, emergency blanket, small amount of repackaged ducttape, safety pin, triangle bandaid, zip tie for gear repair, 6 waterproof matches, spare AAA batteries (for headlamp).

hiking socks: I use several different kinds. I love my darn tough and cabelas mini crews. I also have a large fluffy pair of wigwams for sleep socks.

pants: DONT WEAR JEANS. I wear a pair of woman's trail pants by Cabelas. My husband wears a pair of zipoff pants also from cabelas.

base layers: I use midweight in those temps. Wouldnt hurt to heavyweight if you are typically cold.

Hopefully this helps. Good luck and have fun.

I came here to post this one. I have never used it, but my wife and daughter have. Packs really small for a synthetic.

TETON Sports TrailHead 20F Ultralight Sleeping Bag Perfect for Backpacking, Hiking, and Camping, Orange/Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JTLKCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4BdZxb6K66X1V

I love this sleeping bag. If I didn't get a good deal on a kelty cosmic 20, I would still be using it.

Basically, where do I start? I hadn't camped since I was a little kid in Girl Scouts. And I hated it then. But, I also lived in Florida, and we were camping in the summer - so everything was wet, and there were mosquitos and bugs EVERYWHERE. I'm in my 30's now and live in Seattle, so a much different climate. Last September we spent a week driving around Utah car camping and I loved it.

I want to do some weekend trips out to the North Cascades, Rainier, and hopefully we'll get a permit for the Enchantments (I'm not holding my breath on that one though). We've only ever done day hiking, and I know our backpacks won't work for overnights. And I don't want to be overloaded with heavy gear, even if it's cheaper, so I'm really looking into ultralight stuff. But what the hell should I get? There are so many options it's mind numbing. We'd be camping in the summer/early fall, just two of us. We've got about $500 to spend as an initial investment, which won't get us really far, but some of the essentials would obviously be beneficial.

Any recommendations? Brands to stay away from? So far I've been looking at these options:

Tent 1

Tent 2

Tent 3

Backpack for me

Backpack for him

Sleeping Bag 1

Sleeping Bag 2

Any tips/help would be super appreciated. I don't expect trips to be longer than 2 days at a time, unless we score a permit for the Enchantments, and that I would want to do 3-4 days.

u/alkaline119 · 2 pointsr/CampingGear

Of course. So in general, if you anticipate that it will get down to 13 degrees at night, I would recommend a bag rated to at least 0 degrees. Temperature ratings are really survival ratings (in my experience). I have never been warm in a bag rated to the temperature it actually was outside.

Something like this is a good, affordable option.

Some great American brands

  • Mountain Hardwear ($$$)

  • Marmot ($$$)

  • REI ($$

  • Sierra Designs ($)

  • Teton Sports ($)


    Some European brands that I know are good

  • Quechua

  • Mammut

  • Montaine

Yes they are off my list because I ended up purchasing them. The pad was the [Klymit Static V](Klymit Static V Lightweight Sleeping Pad, Green/Char Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007RFG0NM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kesFxbNDWCCR4) and the bag was the [Teton Trailhead 20](TETON Sports TrailHead 20F Ultralight Sleeping Bag, Orange/Grey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JTLKCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dgsFxbG1YRZ7S). I wasn't feeling the quality of the Teton bag so I ended up returning that. Never used it on the trail but laying in my bed with it I didn't like the feel of the fabric. That's one thing that I'm going to put more money into. As for the pad though it's awesome. Took my sickly lungs about 20 breaths to blow up but it works well. It definitely doesn't need to be pumped up as tight as an air bed. Good quality item there that o would buy again.

You're not going to get a good, quality ultralight bag for $100 imo. I'd give them an REI gift card to put toward a good bag rather than spending $100 on something subpar.
That said, I got a $45 quilt on ebay that wasn't bad... homemade by someone.
Most $100 bags are in the 3lb range. At that weight... I liked this bag for mild temps - https://www.amazon.com/Sports-TrailHead-Ultralight-Sleeping-Backpacking/dp/B007JTLKCC/ref=sr_1_4?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1481506453&sr=1-4&keywords=teton+sleeping+bag

u/Freddiedie1 · 1 pointr/CampingGear

I'm relatively new to camping myself, but I picked up the 20 degree version of that bag (I got it while it was on sale for around $70 I think) and I can say I am very happy with it. Pretty light and compact given the price. I'm very comfortable in it, and I slept in it while it was 20 degrees outside and I wasn't cold at all (although I am a cold sleeper.)

thank you for the review. would this be a better option compared to what I have now. Teton 20f

https://www.amazon.ca/Sports-TrailHead-Ultralight-Lightweight-Backpacking/dp/B007JTLKCC/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1524791946&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&dpPl=1&dpID=31a1LagTSpL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1

looking to get a budget quilt that packs down small but want to ensure it is warmer then the Teton.
