New to the Minnesota area and BWCA. Planning a trip at the end of July and ending in early August. Where I am from there isn't much wind so the quilts aren't necessary during the summer. Would I need to pack one generally during that time of year here?

All I can tell you that last year during the first week in August, it made it into the mid 30's for me one night and into the 40's for several others.

I have seen low 20's at the end of May. Love my 20* incubator underquilt.

You are going to want at least a pad or 3/4 length underquilt that is good to 40 degrees.

In mid-August, I've had night-time temps in the mid-thirties. You can expect to experience fairly cool night-time temps in the BWCA most anytime of the year.
