FYI I called about renting one earlier this year & they said they don't do that anymoreIf not backpacking in and wouldn't use it every year, can rent one from Beau at:

Until you forget your stove and zero degree bagUnnecessary but nice. I think the days of serious snow and cold weather in October are long gone.
I’ve hunted CO second season with a foot of snow and lows in the single digits with a backpacking tent. As long as your pad and bag are good, you’ll be cold but should be good. Getting frozen boots on your feet in the morning is miserable, but get moving and you warm up quick.
Keep a stove with instant coffee in the vestibule and make it before you get out of your bag
