[pct-l] Sleeping Bag - For Hot Sleeper

[Kathi]

Hi Diane,
Normally this is after hiking for the day and then I eat and go to bed. 
Sometimes when I have been backpacking during the winter with snow I am 
too tired to eat so I just go to bed. But I am still freezing until I go 
to sleep. Once asleep I'm fine. In the morning I am one of the only 
people I know that loves to get up with only a light jacket when it's 
snowing. :)  I think my thermostat is broken!

You are probably right though that day-in-dayout hiking will probably 
keep my metabolism more constant and the problem might fix itself a 
couple months into a thru hike.

Thanks for your thoughts.
