[at-l] Newb on the loose - the questions begin

[Carla & Dave Hicks]

Have you tried a hat?

If you are talking about a few degrees and cold toes and if you were
bare-headed you'd be surprised what a balaclava type hat will do for sleeping
warmer.  I keep one in my bag in the winter.

Also, what did you have between you and the ground?

Also2, was whatever you wore to sleep in absolutely dry?

BTW -- The reason I didn't answer right away had nothing to do with organized 
sports, unless trail work is a sport -- albeit it is somewhat organized.  In 
any case it was the last organized work weekend of the year.

BTW2 -- there is light snow spitting around the crisp air here in SWVA.

I'm pretty happy with my bag.  I don't think I really need a warmer one, just
a liner.  It's pretty much the difference between being warm but with slightly
cold toes, or being completely warm.  The other factor is that I was sleeping
out on the ground this weekend, not in my tent.

I do have a trail journal.  I don't have a trail name yet, so it's just listed
as Victoria M under then 2007 hikes.  Here's the link, though I can't promise
you it'll work:
