The surplus merchants at a single time were being (it's possible continue to are) chock packed with "down" mummy baggage that were in essence a failed Army Quartermaster experiment to attempt to use rooster feathers. Large, and none also heat.

(We are truck camping so weigh is not an issue.) I'll even be sleeping in dry apparel and sporting a hat. This set up has worked perfectly for me to the 20s but when there is certainly another cold snap, it could get under zero while we're up there.

One of these experienced the gold colored phony silk lining @riverjoe mentions, I named that my “Elvis Bag” and it absolutely was perfect for horse tenting. I’d happily have 1 all over again like a beater bag for me and also the cats…

Eagle River, Alaska. Mar 15, 2012 #14 Glacier's Edge is commonly sold in Alaska by Fred Meyer (I think it might be A personal label for Fred Meyer, actually) And that i basically really like their equipment. I have utilised their tents and their sleeping baggage and have already been really pleased. As being a rule They're clones of top manufacturer equipment and operate very effectively. Their pricing is additionally very good. I do think for summertime in Alaska It will be good.

wiggys vs Other people I had a wiggy’s bag at the time (the ultima Thule) which was speculated to be heat all the way down to -twenty, nonetheless it didn’t hold me heat beneath about twenty.

If It is really chilly enough to implement a person, then I have got extensive underwear, socks, along with a beanie on also at the least so immediate skin Get hold of is just not a problem.

NJ Jan nine, 2014 #12 The grabbers are only iron filings and salt that rusts truly quickly and therefore are entirely safe The Zippo I'd By no means place in a very bag because it's actually "burning" gas There isn't a flame but there's an ember of sorts YMMV

Jan 23, 2025 #one Was not sure in which to put this, this isn't intended to be an evaluation, It truly is just Section of a rest procedure so sleepy methods did not look suitable, so figured Winter season camping can be quite possibly the most appropriate.

Just as with firearms, hearth extinguishers, and to start with help kits improved to get instead of require than to wish instead of have.

N.Central Montana Jan 10, 2014 #eighteen I have had the oxygen activated hand and foot heaters not operate in damp ailments or in damp boots on various Sleeping Bag instances. The significant humidity just kills them and they harden. Probably do the job fantastic if dry more than enough.

It gets chilly up there. I was thinking about bringing some Grabber hand heaters, and tossing a pair Within the bag to heat it ahead of climbing in. I am informed that you don't want these in extended direct connection with the skin, but do these give off any poisonous fumes Which may linger inside the bag?

Although the Tropen can also be manufacturing facility new not overly costly, and absolutely definitely worth the cash. It matches in the Wintertime bag Carinthia Defence four and that's together with Carinthia bivvy bag our recent European conventional problem modular Military snooze process. (They supply lots of other types far too.)

In no way gave much considered to any fumes, honestly. Do they deliver any gases that happen to be deemed a hazard? I exploit my hammock, even in Winter season so undecided if a bivy would lock in Individuals fumes more than simply a bag alone, that's fairly breathable.

We slept such as this before it started to rain. Which was the regular technique to use it constantly and all over the place.
