Subject: [pct-l] Sleeping bag "upgrade" question
This isn't strictly PCT fare - but I need some advice.
I purchased a 10 F, down bag last year to use on the PCT. Now I want to do
some winter hiking and need a bag for -20 to 0 F trips. Is there a way to
"upgrade" ("downgrade"?) my bag to be usable at those lower temperatures
I realize that I could get a liner and/or a bivy sack, but would either of
them really add that much more insulating power?
I want to try to avoid purchasing another bag if possible.
Appreciate any help.

The idea behind any insulation is to produce a dead air space between the
layers of fabric. Using a liner or bivy sack will aide in increasing this
airspace.
