do you sleep on the cold side or the warm side?

most EN ratings already include midweight thermals; obviously adding a puffy jacket (and even pants) along w/ booties and a warm hat/balaclava will push the bag further

having said that, if you are going to err, I would err a little on the cautious side on what temp rating to go with

see if there is a snotel site near where you are hunting (and close to the same elevation) and you can get a good idea of what temps to expect
