Backcountry sleeping bag

[huntnut26]

I'm looking to upgrade my sleeping system for backcountry hunting and was wondering what other people are using this day and age. I currently have a slumber jack bag I purchased back in the early 90's for a Mt. goat hunt. Still works great but like to shed some weight and improve my setup. leaning towards goose down at this point. Thanks!

If weight is what your trying to cut back on look to some of the treated down bags. Bunch of good ones out there. Western Mountaineering, Stone Glacier, Marmot, Feathered Friends, REI brand, etc. all make good stuff.

Nemo Tensor Pad, VIAM Outdoors 10 degree quilt. Warm, packs down small, stupid light

Xped mat with a quality quilt from enlightened equipment. 

Hands down the best set up.....and lightest.....I have ever used.

I prefer a bag over a quilt.  I have a 20 degree down bag that I throw in a compression sack.  Squeezes down to the size of a small bowling ball.

I love my Feathered Friends down sleeping bag. Gets used quite often and has held up for years.

I bought the Enlightenment Equipment Convert last year. I like it because I can use it as a bag or quilt.
Test out a few sleeping pads and see what you like, I ended up with a Nemo pad, it’s a little heavier but it’s also 4 inches thick and doesn’t make noise when you move around at night.

Been running a Marmot Helium for 10 years or so and have never had an issue. 15 degree bag. Maybe slightly lighter bags out there but I haven't felt the need to change it up yet.

Get an 850/900 treated down bag.   If u don’t mind an extra few ounces the xped down pad is sweet.  Its about 20 oz if I recall.

I got a new Nemo Disco15 this year and have used it on a couple trips now.  I love it.  Spoon shaped because I'm a side/belly sleeper.  Most comfortable bag I've ever been in.

Im a big fan of the Marmot Helium.  Been in negative temperatures and never had issues getting cold.  I buy a cheap inflatable off of amazon ~ $25 for each season...I haven't had much luck with even the "name brands" holding up much longer than a season. 

I've considered a quilt for warm weather/early season, but haven't made the investment yet.

Have you considered a company called Hyke and Byke?  They have a 30 degree 800 Fill Goose Down bag for 130.00.

Crazy $ but their 15 degree Badger at 2# 6oz for the long version is roomy, warm and light.
