A 20 degree bag doesn't mean you'll be warm at 20. There's survival ratings and comfort ratings. Give ALL information

[@sarahcherry7341]

Agreed - definitely won't be comfy at 20 in a 20 bag, but probably cozy down to mid 30s. For anyone who may not know who is reading this, the temperature rating means you'll survive at that temperature unless it specifies that it's a comfort rating. My zero degree bag is cozy down to about 20 but a bit chilly any lower.

Sarah Cherry thx 👍🏽

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Agreed, this guy is giving out misleading information

[@artfisher1235]

@@MisfitsFiendClub138 Absolutely. There is an obvious difference in real world reviews and marketing hype by folks who do not use the equipment on real expeditions.

[@kimekholm7178]

@@sarahcherry7341 wrong as well. Manufacturers choose what number they advertise. Some brands will give the true comfort rating while others may give the survival rating

Military modular sleep system with Gortex bivy and compression sack..-50 for 4 hours.

These are all warm weather bags, here in Canada it drops below 0 degrees all the time and for any sort of winter camping you need a bag that will be good to at least -20 degrees if not -40 degrees

[@AJuniorOutdoorsman]

Yeah I think it's funny to see summer bags called cold weather, when those bags would kill you if you used them in the fall in montana let alone the winter.

Check out Paria Gear sleeping bags.

Yooo right i always go on winter i love winter

[@StevenTorrey]

Will combining two bags, one inside the oher, provide adequate insulation for cold weather sleeping? Cold weather: 40 degree.

[@melissaverdoni845]

yes there are videos on you tube , two sleeping are good together.

[@jeffreybivins5556]

Two bags will definitely provide enough warmth. But at 40° you should only require a single bag. 40° is not really considered cold weather camping, unless you live in Florida. When I bought my winter bag 35 years ago to test it out I went down to my local state park, laid my closed cell foam pad on the ground, laid my bag on top of it climbed in and went to sleep. When I woke in the morning I was covered in 6 inches of snow but was warm and cozy. Now that’s how to test a winter bag.

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

I need a good bag. We get down to -40 here in winter.

[@melissaverdoni845]

me too , my guy wants to winter camp

[@diogofarias1822]

Good video! It would be nice if you could also write/edit the video in Kilos.

[@woof3598]

can you trust the Temp rating though ?

[@littysamuel6061]

This is awesome!

[@tristen3484]

Not bad but you do know the sleeping bag goes on the outside of you cant fit it in the backpack?

[@theolynwarrender]

Good luck when it rains

[@psychoskate970]

most people put bags in backpack, thats way they say packable

[@kingsoutdoors4379]

mmss in a gortex bivy in a stuff sack ... Won't get wet, down to -50

[@tristen3484]

Ive always put my sleeping bag on the outside of the pack, mainly because the compression sacks i use are waterproof and it saves a ton of space inside the pack. Also theolynn, packs in general are rarely waterproof so idk where you were going with that. Thats why they include a rain cover which can also easily go over an externally mounted sleeping bag

[@lukewarmwater5320]

I'm in Canada, these are shitty, over night, Joshua tree national park sleeping bags...

[@sonofmaniam]

For WINTER camping, the advice in this video is pretty bad. I hope nobody follows the information in this video without doing more research.

[@tjellis1479]

Then Covid crap happens....dammit. Now all those "humans" in the woods. Tough to bury the bodies when the ground is frozen...am I right?...:)

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

This river don't go to Aintry

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

TJ Ellis bury what bodies? Death rate is 0.015% far less than the seasonal flu. 😉
