Thread: Rookie mistakes!

I have never had the luxury of an expensive sleeping bag. What I have done for many years is to have two average one's, but then I have always flown or driven to a hut or campsite...extra bulk but little weight. Sleep in one and spread the other over top. I have been in many a hut where someone cranks the fire up and all the fancy sleeping bags cook the occupants only for them to freeze a few hours latter. I never take a gun bag to the bush, I always wrap my rifle in a blanket for transport...does the same job protecting it but that extra blanket makes the difference on a cold night...the pile of gun bags in the corner of the hut don't keep no one warm.
