Title says it all, what is the best military surplus sleeping bag? How do we define best? By a cost:comfort ratio. Since the 1990s, I have wanted a British Pattern 58 sleeping bag. There are some on Ebay in England at a reasonable price. But, before I buy one, I wanted to ask if there was...

I didn't want to start a new thread. But all threads on this topic were from 2009. So here it is... I own 2 of the Modular Sleep Systems. They came with a patrol bag that provides cold weather protection from 35 to 50 °F (1.67 °C to 10 °C). The intermediate bag provides cold weather protection...

Didn't want to hijack the "blanket in my BOB" but it made me think about my sleeping arrangements now that winter is here in the soon to be frozen world. First as you can see from my handle. I'm in the PacNW @ 2400' and the Almanac is calling for a colder than normal La Nina`winter w/ above...

Does your BOB really need a sleeping bag or tent? I am always thinking of ways to make my BOB lighter and easier to work with. Now before I go on my definition of a BOB is my 72 hour, get from point A to BOL or home bag. That’s all its there for. It includes basic survival gear, small first...

Looking for a good,compact mess kit and a good compact,light weight sleeping bag. Any ideas?? Gotta be compact.With the sleeping bag, I wouldnt mind if it can maybe double as a tarp or just multi use if that even exists

In my last post I was asking what you used for your sleeping system (pad, pillow, bag, or wool blanket). I have put some thought into what would be a great system for all times of the year and not just the spring through fall. I'm really leaning toward the authentic usgi sleep system with some...

G'Day Guys, I was checking my car BOB (MOLLE vest) tonight, I cleaned it out and found that apart from water carriage, my 14 day kit fits into a plastic shopping bag! I live in a temperate environment, so I don't need a heavy sleeping bag (I could get away with a sheet) but even so, it shocked...

I went to a sporting goods shop last night and I was looking at one that was $99 with a 20% discount. Had a 2.2lb weight with a 20 degree rating. I want to find a warm sleeping bag that I could easily just roll up and put in my backpack.

Looking to pick up a junior sized sleeping back for my son as we are going camping soon. It has to be mummy and preferably 10* or less on the temp rating. Anyone know of the best deals online right now?

Daily Steals has a special on 2 High Peak Simex Sport Sirius Sleeping Bags. One's Olive & the other is Black. They didn't list a temperature rating, but after a little searching, it appears that they are rated for down to 21.2 degrees F. They are to only weight 1.2 lbs. Just an FYI for...

I am looking at this sleeping bag right here http://www.military-sleeping-bags.com/survivaldown.html and it is a winter bag. I am thinking in a shtf situation it would be better to be to hot then freezing to death. Were I live it can get below -15C easily in the winter and my BOL which is a 1...

OK, what is the correct way to attach the GI Sleep System Bag to the Medium Alice Pack with frame? Also is there a secure way to attach this while the pack frame shelf is in place also? I have tried different ways and they seem to smack around unsecured. Thanks! :thumb:

No, I'm not fat.......I'm just big boneded. :D: Here's my problem: I like the compressable sleeping bags like the Snugpak type that I can fit easily in a backpack. The problem is, I can't fit in that type of sleeping bag. I'm 6'4, 290......and way broad shouldered. I can zip up the Snugpak to...
