What Sleeping bag do you prefer?

Any warm one lol Im in need for a new one also, ive been looking at some on line. Too many to choose from!

I don't remember where I got mine, seems like I've had it for ever. Very warm, very heavy. Now falling apart.Time for a new one. Any recommendations?

campmor.com great place to compare weight vs. temp.
way to many things to consider when buying a sleeping bag to not research what would be best for YOU. i have a North face sythetic sleeping bag that weight in the 2 lb 12 oz =/- but it's only 15 degree bag. i dont get cold when i'm sleeping. plus i usually have my bivy sack or a leittle tent. and i do have a liner to add 10 degrees "just in case" that i dont ever use. things to consider, if there is a remote chance you could ever get it wet and have to use it, dont get a down bag. they dont perform if they are wet. but if not than you can deffinatly save a couple ounces buying a down bag in the same temp. vs. a synthetic. i've heard GREAT things about BIG AGNES bags, i've never used one or bean with someone who has. but if i was getting a new one that would be the first company i would look into. but other great bags, north face, marmot,cabelas, slumberjack, wiggys[sp??] anyway, good luck and let us know what you end up with

I have several microfiber bags and one down bag that is waterproof (1986 British Commando surplus). The microfiber bags are 20 degree bags and very light. I have slept out in the snow lots and I make a nest of brush (1st layer to get up out of the water or snow), leaves, grass etc. like a mouse would make. I do it in a spot that is out of the wind and protected above so the area radiates less heat as it gets colder. I put my coat over me too. A fly is good to have when it rains. If you don't want to build a bed a sleeping pad will work. Anything to insulate you from the ground. I think knowing how to use your equipment is more important than having the best money can buy. How do you think the old timers did it? They survived nicely with very little most of the time.

For ultra light backpacking trips, I've been real satisfied with Big Agnes 0 degree down bag with their own sleeping pad. It fits inside a sleeve on the down bag.....so it prevents you from rolling off your pad in the night.

This subject brought up an old memory. About 15 years ago some city folks with all the knowledge in the world went up Mount Washington (New Hampshire) during the worst of the winter. They had the best money could buy. They made snow caves and froze to death from the severe cold. If you haven't camped out in the winter you may want to try it right next to your truck or in your backyard so you have a safety net during the learning curve.
