Thread: Sleeping Bag Q's

I've got a Kathmandu bag , I rate it its got a water repellant base with non slip thingies on bottom as well ( stop your mat pissing off in the night ) . Go hotter than you need as over time they loose there warmth . I use mine as a throw as too dam hot and stops the cramps . Only zip up when it's real real cold .
Only buy when on there 50% off deals , as they are over priced normally . Well worth a look anyways

Yeah i'll probably do something similar at some point. Or even go for the fabled ultralight pack of under 10lbs excluding consummables. It's all a bit anal but i must say damn it'd feel awesome to get about with 5kg's on your back plus a rifle and a couple kg's for food. Would feel like you're floating. Although I guess for hunting it's not quite as important as hiking if you setup camp in a nice area with access to a few different spots to hunt for a couple of days. Then you're only really lugging the "heavy" pack until you set up camp. The biggest issue to getting that light for hunting would be the pack. Most of us carry pretty heavy duty things to carry the meat out. My pack alone is between 3-4kg I think, but I wouldn't trust one of those lightweight ones with gear + another 10-20kg of meat. Those hikers sure have it easy with their few hundred gram packs and loads like a school backpack.

I don't get out enough to justify a second set at the moment though. Too busy with work and now the baby's arrived...so unlikely to ever change from what people tell me, haha.
