Hi everyone,

I've been lurking for some time but haven't said much because I'm new and feel that I've got a lot more to learn than to offer at this time. BUT...

I JUST GOT ME SOME CASH! So can anyone tell me where I should send the money to annoy off finallyME?

Seriously though, I could use some sleeping bag advice. I live in the Texas Hill Country and need a fall/winter bag that would also be appropriate for a JMT thru hike next year. I already have a 40 deg synthetic that I've used for warmer weather. Should I be looking at down or synthetic and what degree range would be best for the JMT?

Local trip plans this fall/winter include the Davis Mountains, Guadalupe Mountains National Park and of course, Big Bend.

Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

Regards,
