I going on another BWCA trip in the early spring and could see temperatures about 30 degrees and possibly snow on the ground. What do you recommend for comfort and warmth when paired with a Big Agnes Lost Ranger. I am thinking of the two track in case I winter camp.

I found that when using a BA sleeping bag you will need a pad that is rated much warmer than the temps you are expecting to encounter. I know they say that the insulation in a conventional bag gets compressed under you, and is rendered useless. I found out the hard way that compressed insulation is better than none. I am a naturaly cold sleeper, and don't want to discourage anyone from this pad or BA sleeping bags. Just keep in mind that you may need a much wrmer pad for your bag or a closed cell foam pad under everything to keep warm. I have this sleeping pad, but use it with conventional bags and sleep fine down to single digits.
