Sleeping Bag Recommendation
« on: November 08, 2020, 10:49:10 AM »
I need a new sleeping bag.  Cant sleep in a mummy but need a rectangular or semi-mummy with a cotton flannel liner rated down to 0 degrees F and 6 pounds or less total weight, hopefully that won't break the bank.  Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

I bought a woodsman at Cabelas 30+ years ago. Rectangular and good to 10 I believe. Canvas outer shell. It has served well in very cold temps. Not sure they have the woodsman any longer but ones just like it and a good inventory at their stores you can handle before buying.

Assuming your are using a nice sleeping pad, I would strongly suggest you look at a quilt.  I hate mummy bags and needed a light weight solution.  My pad and quilt are amazing.  I fit comfortably, it is light weight, and keeps me warm in 0 degree weather.  I used in the back country of Idaho and have no complaints. 

My quilt is made by Enlightened Equipment.

This is for a car camping situation I assume where weight won’t be a factor?

I was looking at the Kodiak Canvas ones. They look kind of awesome.

I have two of these, along with the quilt that attaches to the top of them and absolutely love them.  Very highly recommend this set up for truck camping.   :tup: :tup:

Go to sportsman or  Bass pro pick out the biggest softest bag you like. 100.00 or so. On the way home stop and pick up a hot water bottle. Put the bottle rolled up in the bag. When you get to camp heat some water ,fill the bottle, throw in bag. Never be cold again. :tup:
