Freezing on The PCT. If you run cold, your advice is welcome!
I’m currently hiking the PCT NoBo. I’ve been tossing and turning almost every night because I can’t seem to get warm.
Current sleep setup:
- Wool base layer and socks
- 20°F synthetic sleeping bag
- Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme sleeping bag liner
- Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm NXT pad, 7.3 R-value
- Fleece jacket
- SENIQ Wild Puff packable down hoodie
I add the fleece jacket last week and Puffer this week. I’ve also started taking iron supplements and I’m eating ALOT, so I don’t think calories are the main issue.
For those who naturally run cold: what gear or sleep set up do you use or actually helped you stay warm at night?
