[pct-l] Intro & Sleeping Bags

["Robert Knoth" <robert_knoth@hotmail.com>]

Hi.  I'm planning on a thruhike this coming season.  I've been following the 
list for sometime, gathering information.  I have only started the planning. 
  I live outside Portland, OR.  I've done a lot of backpacking (nothing on 
this scale, yet.) and am beginning to learn mountaineering and rock 
climbing.

Sleeping Bags: I tend to sleep hot, so I am looking for a good system that 
will cover a wide range of temperatures.   Possibly a vapor barrier combined 
with a light down bag.  Has anyone used the Feathered Friends Swallow?  The 
North Face Blue Kazoo also seems pretty good.  Any other suggestions?

Looking forward to learning a lot (and some hiking)
-Rob
