EPISODE 110: Sleeping Bags & Pads with A-ron Snyder

Okay Friends on this episode of Gritty Bowmen I sit down with Aron Snyder and we talk about sleeping bags and pads. We get into some stuff about water bottles vs. nalgene bottles and so on. It’s a pretty good podcast, but we screwed up on the audio and when I say we I mean I screwed up on the audio. So it’s not as crisp as it usually is. So forgive me on that. But, it’s a good podcast so I hope you get some good info out of it. I did. -Stay Gritty

+Bocephus454 That was my thought today while I was coming home from work.

A great, and very informative video. Thank you. I really liked the discussion on sleeping bags and sleep pads.

Love listening to the podcast and great info. I rolled the dice and purchased a high quality quilt from enlightened equipment. You custom order them to what you want which in turn it takes awhile to recieve it. Almost two months. They have a great website that gives you total weight based on your options. Mine was 800 down long xwide 20 degree and it weighs 25oz. I don't work for these guys but and used it for four years and it's worked flawlessly. Keep up the good work guys!

Very informative. Would like a podcast on optics.

You can wash your down bags in the washer. I use Nikwax down wash. I think you need a front load, but there should be directions on the bag for care.

Muy buen podcast!!!

[@markemert6902]

Really wanting to buy a Kifaru Slick Bag. Any word on when they will have the long wide 0 degree bag in stock? Love the podcast.....super fun and informative!!!

Just bought a pair of the down booties from REI on sale for 10 bucks!

[@user-vm9bi3mx9q]

If you haven't tried, use the foot or toe hot hands stuck to your sock in your bag when it is cold. Worth every once.

[@martinfreitas952]

Thanks for the tip on don't store a sleeping bag compressed .cause I have STAY GRITTY!

[@robertanderson5544]

If you take one of those warm water bladders and heat up water and put it inside your bag do you think that would help warm it up

[@shenlonggohan]

If foam rolling is killing them, I wonder what they would think of body tempering with 100 pound metal rollers.

[@mikeclark7568]

Well I guess I'll stay up and watch 😏

[@jaxtongunner4731]

Pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@charlescolby45]

@Jaxton Gunner yup, been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself =)

[@wolferine6466]

Can we get a podcast on A-Aron’s experiences solo hunting?

[@billgotskillb4308]

I better go un roll my bag!!

[@GrittyGearAndPodcast]

LOL 😂

[@brycemcnitt]

Yep. Just did the same thing - bag fully compressed in the closet. Fail.

[@thebrizzy]

Ok I think this sold me on synthetic. 4lbs for a 0 degree bag is acceptable knowing the reliability.

[@robertanderson5544]

And then you can just use it as drinking water the next day because it's already boiled.
