backpacking sleepbag

I can not for the life of me picture sleeping with my boots in my sleeping bag.

  Me either, but maybe he's just trying to get a feel for how much room is in the footbox???

There's another thread on here somewhere where guys are talking about putting their boots in their bags to avoid the boots freezing overnight.
Nuddit...size 13 10" boots inside a mummy bag ain't happening in my world.

well with my current bag it won't quite come over my shoulders so theres no room for extra gear to keep warm and I've had wet boot leather in sub-freezing conditions so rather that risk frozen boots i just slept with them on...

You have been walking for 30+hours and it's -40 degrees...    I'll put mine in plastic grocery bags in the foot of my long bag on winter trips...

I just don't think they'd fit. I have a long bag and use about all of it. It took me a lot of self-convincing to even commit to a mummy bag. There's no way I could do a mummy bag with boots on. I don't think it's possible.

i hear ya, I'm not a fan of the mummy bag either, thats why kifaru bags intrigue me so much but $$$.
I'm meeting that guy tomorrow for that CL bag.

After some use I've gotten used to it and am a-ok with it now.
