june 1st- gonna freeze?

Post by zims »

I am concernen about the weather beginning on June 1st with the cold fronts we have had and lack of better weather moving forward. The plan includes a 0 degree sleeping bag and layers, but I am concerned if it will be enough if temps dont rise a little more. Id appreciate Any comments on this?

I think you'll be fine but it depends on how "comfortable" you'll be. A 0 degree bag will keep you plenty warm and may even be too hot at that time of year. Worst case you can open it up some and vent it if you get warm. Likely you'll have to prepare more for sitting around in camp not mooving.

Plenty of layers and a few hot drinks and you'll be fine.

I always bring a zero degree bag when I go on a late May/early June trip. It's always easier to cool off than warm up on Isle Royale that time of year.
