I’m planning to hike the Oregon section this summer. (Possibly might hike Washington too) I’m looking to get the 15 degree Sea to Summit Ascent sleeping bag, Nemo Tensor all season sleeping pad and the Nemo Dragonfly 2P tent. Will a 15 degree bag be too warm? I’m nervous the 30 degree bag will be too cold. Also planning to use this gear to hike the TMB in Europe this summer so leaning towards Nemo tent for the durability and 15 degree bag for colder nights in the alps. Thoughts?

I received the first paycheck this week and it says “Severance” on the paystub and is not assigned to any dates on the paystub.

In the past when laid off (2x) I received lump sum payments and it didn’t affect my unemployment. However I’ve been reading and it seems like I most likely won’t be able to get unemployment for 6 weeks this time which sucks.

Here is the agreement:

“Although the Company has no obligation to do so, if you timely sign,
date, and return this Agreement, the Company will (a) pay you severance in the form of salary
continuation for six (6) weeks following the Separation Date (the “Severance Payments”), and (b) allow
you to retain and continue to use indefinitely the laptop computer issued to you by the Company (the
“Subject Computer,” and together with the Severance Payments, the “Severance Benefits”) currently in
your possession. The Severance Payments will be made on the Company’s regular payroll cycle
beginning on the first regularly-scheduled payroll date following the date that you sign this Agreement
and return it to the Company, and will be subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings”

I’m planning to hike the Oregon section of the PCT this summer. I’m from the PNW and a really avid day hiker. I’ve done tons of research about lightweight gear but it’s overwhelming. Mainly looking for recs about the big 4 but open to all feedback. Thanks!
