Planning a trip to the AZ/UT desert for shoulder season.
Not sure what gear to bring/buy for the massive temp swings. We are going end of March, so I understand it can still get into the 30s at night. I \*\*hate\*\* being cold; I'd rather be a little too warm.
Gear I have:
\- down sleeping bag 20° temp rating
\- smartwool thermal base layer long sleeve tops
\- nylon hiking pants (unlined)
\- darn tough merino socks
\- winter hat
\- Columbia fleece zip-up (mid-layer)
Gear I'm considering buying:
\- down puffy jacket thats small but mighty
\- merino tights to layer under my hiking pants
Anything else I might need for around camp or at night time so I'm comfortable and don't freeze? I do have a big Columbia ski winter jacket that I've winter camped with before but it's rather bulky. I also have a 3 season lightly lined softshell jacket that is much smaller and I can layer on top of the smartwool. Mostly I just hate being cold 😅
