This is a great trip, but when the heat runs out in the bottle your heat will transfer back the other way so you have to take it out.
Last year in Alaska I was so cold I shivered through the first 2 nights at around 15-20 degrees in a zero degree bag. I started opening the 8 hour hot hands and throwing one in the bag by my feet. It helped quite a bit. I have thought about getting a liner to try with my sleeping bag.

My hunting clothes bag has the best item in it.
A hot water bottle. Fill it with boiling water, throw in your bag down in the bottom couple hours before bed time sleep comfy all night. Never leave home without it. Best 11.00 Ever spent. :tup:

I've got a 15* REI bag that has to be at least twenty years old and has about twenty feet of duct tape patches on it. Last February my pad deflated on a 10* night and I basically slept on the ground in a tent with two other dudes. Neither of them got any sleep all night because they were freezing in their 0* bags and sat up listening to me snore. I woke up feeling great.
I'm pretty sure it's more important to find which bag works best for you as opposed to what bag works for others. Find a style your comfortable in, buy a heavier bag if you get cold, and buy the best quality you can afford.

I tired something new this year, put a military wool blanket on my cot then then my pad then another military blanket with bag on that.
It helped quite a bit.👍

I'm pretty sure wool is the answer for everything.
