Title: Sleeping Bag Recommendation
Post by: gadwall 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.

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.

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.

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:

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:
