Big 3: Complete

I am so happy to say my big three is pretty much complete! If you are not familiar with the "big 3", it is a term given to 3 of your heaviest pieces of gear; the pack, the tent/shelter, and your sleeping bag. For me, I have my Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1, Osprey Atmos 65L, and I have my winter bag, a Ledge Featherlite 20. I am pretty sure I will just stick with the Ledge for the colder portion of the hike. I am pretty impressed with the bag so far. I just need to get out and test all of my gear so far, especially in this weather. I also picked up two sleeping bag liners. One is a sea to summit liner. It is a synthetic, warmer type of material. The other one I got is the Magellan Outdoors silk liner. I will mostly use this one for just keeping my bag clean, while the S2S should mainly be for warmth. I am fairly certain I will use these pieces of gear on my thru, although I am not sure what I will do about a warmer sleep system. I will cross that bridge when I get to it. That's all for now! Happy Trails! June Bug
