Drew Montana as well combo hunt in the Kootenai
Early archery, low 30s at night (I think, might have been lower), 20 degree EE quilt, but w a pad rated 2.4. It was August so I thought that'd be serviceable.mneisch said:
What were you using and what was the temperature?
I bought the Klymit Insulated Static V Lite, with an R value of 4.4. I figure that ought to be warm enough from below during second rifle season. Then eyeing either a 10 or 20 degree quilt.
Ya the pad was for sure the issue, and its anecdotal and probably not a good baseline.mneisch said:
Sounds like the pad was likely most of the issue. I've heard great things about the EE quilts. I'm still on the fence on quilt vs a bag. I like the idea of the greater flexibility, and smaller size and weight. Having never used one though I have my concerns and don't really want to figure it out during a week long backcountry hunt.

Somewhat draw related... I am going on a speed-goat Hunt next year in CO! Going with an outfitter so we shall see how it goes.
I did get my notification of points for Utah earlier this week or late last.

Awesome !
What are dates for that season?
Do units correspond like normal Co units? If so, what GMU?
Yep, I see the same issue. 8 ounces of carry weight for only 220 calories. You can easily get 3x the calories in a lighter weight package. For a shorter trip I'd probably just use meal replacement bars if you really wanted to avoid a stove.DG96 said:
Heavier for the amount of food. Not much food really.
