Blackburn UL 0 Degree Down Sleeping Bag

I have a BA Blackburn UL that is like this. I actually really like it. Keeps me from sliding off the pad on a mild slope and works with just about every pad I've tried; some better than others.

One of my biggest price tag items has been my 0 degree down quilt+sleeping bag. Got is on sale; something like 350. Not the biggest splurge. It was the Big Agnes Lost Ranger 0* UL.

any of the 2 person Big Agnes UL Backpacking tents (buy used). Also any of the Big Agnes UL sleeping bags 0F Big Agnes does make a lot of UL (ultra light) gear...make sure to get a sleeping pad too, probably a folding foam sleeping pad is best (lightest and don't get pop)

Check out the REI outlet online. The last bag I got there was from lightweight Big Agnes, and the discount was 40%. Great backpacking bag so far!

The older I get the thicker the sleeping pad... Where I live, I need 3 distinct sleeping bags - warm weather (Big Agnes), shoulder seasons/early winter (Nemo), and extreme winter (Big Agnes - takes up the whole backpack!) I have an REI half dome tent - big enough for weekend camping, small enough that I could backpack with it if I'm not using a hammock. I also have several Coleman Sun Domes as lenders, and my boys each have a Kelty when they don't hammock. For front country camping, a nice comfy camp chair is worth its weight... consider a lightweight backpacking chair as an addition or alternative. You can enjoy a lightweight camping chair in camp, but hard to take an XXL rocking camp chair backpacking... Consider hammocking, too, but that's a whole additional rabbit hole to travel down.
