Snugpak Jungle Bag - MuddyTigerOutdoors

[@TrainLikeYouFight]

You don't need to roll up the sleeping bag to put it back into the stuff sack, just stuff it in there; Snugpak even recommends just stuffing it.

We bought the jungle blanket for our emergency go bags. Was seriously considering the jungle bag, but didnt like the “extra” things that might cause some issues long term, like the mesh for example. We ended up getting the Trifecta Bivvy and the Jungle Blanket. Pretty good setup for us

[@District.24]

I'm rocking the Aquaquest Bivy, Snugpak Jungle Bag, Snugpak Thermalon Liner and the Snugpak Jungle Blanket. In the winter, I replace the Jungle Bag with my winter sleeping bag, and I'm snug as a bug in a rug. :)

[@johngalt6929]

Mine got fairly cold at 43F. Luckily I had a GI poncho liner also. It's a great summer bag. Just don't run it too cold.

[@TheElephantsFoot]

Thanks for the review! Personally, I prefer the Jungle Blanket XL. I'm taller than most folks and it works perfect for me. I've used it down to -4C & was perfectly warm. With a bivy & a liner I imagine it would be good for even colder temperatures.

[@simonvance8054]

Looks great in that desert tan, thanks for the review. Love it that you can use it outside on it's own in good weather knowing you won't have any issues with bugs.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Thank you for watching Simon! -Jacko

[@kbbjedi]

Just picked one up myself and can't wait to use it. Want to get the left hand one as well for the wife and I. Great channel, subbed! Aloha.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

kbbjedi Excellent! having the other side is a great idea. My wife wants one too, I may have to do the same. Thank you for subbing, I hope you like the channel! -Jacko

[@matthewprior3762]

By DAMMIT 🧐.. your video has me sold on this!!

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Thank you for watching! -Jacko

[@MossStoneWoodlore]

Great looking bag Jacko. I love the bug mesh option. A simple tarp overhead, your new sleeping mat beneath and you are good to go :D Thanks for sharing man. :)

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Moss Stone Woodlore Yessir! I've been trying to simplify and lighten my gear. This one was the best option by far. Thanks for watching my friend. -Jacko

[@Lee-70ish]

I use mine with a silk liner bag if it's a cool night as it adds 20% to any bags low rating without taking up very little space

[@TurtleBushcraft]

looks like a realy cool bag. I have been looking at that bag my self I like the idea of the bug netting built in. thanks for sharing atb John

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Turtle Bushcraft Thanks For watching John. The bug netting is what sealed the deal for me, it's a very nice option. -Jacko

[@EDCAdventures]

Looks like a great bag! Love the mosquito net. Would work well with my bivvy

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Yes, it'd work great with a bivvy. Thanks for watching man. -Jacko

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

That is a very cool bag. Lightweight, small and not lacking any features. It will go on the list. Great review.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Nature Calls Thank you Bruce! Its for sure an all rounder for moderate climates. The bug net is the icing on the cake :) -Jacko

[@MITimberwookie]

Good review. I'm gonna have to check out more of their products. This bag is super cool.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

MI Timberwookie Yeah, I've been browsing their website and looks like they make all kinds of different sleeping bags and Bivy bags too. All of their stuff looks really nice. Thank you for tuning in man. -Jacko

[@robertoruscigno7126]

Best review of this blanket on youtube. Thank you very much!

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching! -Jacko

[@jasonmcdaniel7878]

Very nice sleeping bag! I like how compact it is and how easy it is to roll up & put away. That's the one thing about the sleeping bag I have it to big when rolled up and is hard to put back in its little case.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Jason McDaniel I agree. It makes it really easy. -Jacko

[@MrYoliss]

Great video

[@Calypso3]

Good video, thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what the material on the inside feels like? (Cotton, fleece, nylon?)

[@CragScrambler]

I guess this is an older version since mine has 3 zips, one along the bottom so you can have it open like a big tube, two zips along the side which completely detach so it becomes a blanket, and the mosquitoes net can be completely detached.

[@BushBrother]

Nice bag. Mesh net is sweet. Lots of options with that

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Bush Brother Yea, I don't know if any other bags with the bug net option incorporated into the bag, great feature! Thank you for watching. -Jacko

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

I like the dropleg carry option your running, I keep a black n coyote same way for my EDC/fire kit/knife. That jungle bag is nice size, I wish I knew this was an option before I got the mummy one from snugpac in coyote. It's a good bag, great review too!

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+BlackRifle Survival Thank you! The drop leg pouch is a very nice option because it can be used for many different things. When I carry it I mainly use it for my firearm and an extra mag but I've thought about using it as a med kit or fire kit as well. As far as the sleeping bad , the mummy one is very nice, I kind of wish they offered the jungle bag in a mummy option. I've gotten used to this one and sometimes is nice to have the extra space around your feet too. Thank you for watching! -Jacko

[@BlackRifleSurvival]

MuddyTigerOutdoors I'll have to do.a review on my mummy from snugpak. Lol they don't joke when they say snug. I'm 6 foot and need to get my chest measurements but they really don't want to give you much wiggle room in the model I have. Lol. Have you done a video yet on the drop leg setup? If not I may film mine and then tag you for yours. I saw PreparedMind101 had a similar idea in a vid a while back and I showed some pictures of mine. But who knows. Great vid again on the jungle bag. Keep them coming!

[@shaneschannel9289]

Thanks for the great review! You showed the circular piece on the opening of the bag to help keep out water. Does this mean that the stuff sack is water repellent? If so that is a major feature and a strong selling point in my book.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

shanes channel It is water repellent as is the entire sleeping bag. I wouldn't submerge it but a light sprinkle wouldn't be a big deal. Thank you for watching Shane! -Jacko

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Very nice bag. I like the mosquito netting too. I don't like mummy bags but love the rectangular bags they fit me better. Thanks. atb Opal

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Opal Preston Shirley Sounds like we have similar taste, lol! The also offer a less military looking one called the Snugpak Travelpak Traveler, basically the same but red. Thank you for watching Opal :) -Jacko

[@Farad152000]

Btw this was a very good review, thanks for taking the time to make the video, keep up the good work.

[@ManLand]

Brother, I'm gonna check it out! Thank you for showing us this ...

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Man Land Yessir! :) -Jacko

[@Jakelol1980]

Can i open the bag fully and lay another one on top and zipper them together and get a extra thick blanket?

[@ronanrogers4127]

I have the jungle green, but the tan color is much better. If it’s cold, I just sleep in my thermals, which I take with me anyway because I’m on my adventure bike

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Definitely great sleeping bags. Thank you for watching! -Jacko

[@MoonbeameSmith]

Is the Jungle bag the same materials as a Jungle blanket ? Like a J Blanket with a larger size and a zipper?

[@dkitigawa4258]

I just purchased this bag. I like the mosquito net option but the zipper for it is on the outside only. It's near impossible to manipulate from inside the bag.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+d kitigawa It is kind of a downfall of the bag having that zipper on the outside. That mosquito net is almost unbeatable. Thanks for watching! -Jacko

[@neemancallender9092]

You can buy the right hand and left hand models and zip them together as a double sleeping bag

[@windhamcabin]

Great review! That is a great quality bag for the price. I love all the extras it has.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Windham Woodcraft Thanks Chris. I don't think there are many sleeping bags with as many features as this one, let alone with a mosquito net. We get a lot of mosquitoes around here for most part of the year so this will come in handy. Thanks for the comment! -Jacko

[@Farad152000]

Just wondering do you have to hang that bag when you store it (like the expensive sleeping bags)? Can you keep it stored indefinately in the compression sack without the insulating factor breaking down?

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+Farad152000 I would think so, I've stored mine hanging in the closet. I think is a good rule of thumb to hand anything that has down material in it. Thank you for watching and commenting! -Jacko

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

How can you rig something up to keep the net off your face other then a baseball cap? If it lays on your face then the bugs can still bite you. I thought of a small piece of plastic or rubber mat strip in an upside down U shape that would be hard enough to stand.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

I haven't really had an issue with the bug net laying or touching my face much. Theres enough material for it to not be against you face. I'll have to give this one more thinking... Thank you for watching! -Jacko

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

One person said to get a green fresh bendable branch and bend it in a U shape upside down of course lol. I would want to cushion the ends with tape to protect it stabbing the material. Maybe a piece of cardboard bent, or stiff plastic.

[@MoonbeameSmith]

add a simple rubber hose like the kind your car uses for the window washer. It will hold it's shape enough to arch the opening in 'sqeeder weather. Plus you can use it for a siphon hose should the need arise

[@kennethsstaal]

Hi jacko, great review!Im waiting for my junglebag to hit mail mailbox in the next day or 2 :)I was thinking how the stuff/compresionsack has it whit water ?I know its not watertight but is it waterrepellant or just like a sponge ?

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+kenneth staal Thank you Kenneth! Yes, the stuff sack is water repellent against light sprinkling I would say. -Jacko

[@kennethsstaal]

Thanks for quick reply, keep up the good work !

[@larryenochs3005]

Great review! I was wondering I am 6 ft 2 inches tall and about 220 lbs. would I fit in this bag? Every review I've seen on this bag NO one gets in it like a sleeping bag? They just wrap the blanket around them. I know Snugpack makes there stuff small so was wondering ! Thanks

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+Larry Enochs I'm 5'8" and 157 lbs. I have some room and space around me and lengthwise. For someone as tall as you are, you may be maxing it out. It's about 7.2 ft long by 2.67 ft wide according to the specs in their website. Thank you for commenting. -Jacko

[@chrisfisher3900]

Larry Enochs snugpak gets pretty tight in the shoulers.

[@larryenochs3005]

Chris Fisher I bought this in OD green it is tight but fits good for summer time usage.

[@chrisfisher3900]

Larry Enochs yea thats why i just started using the jungle blanket.

[@larryenochs3005]

Chris Fisher I bought the snugpak softie elite 3 it is awesome used it down to 39 degrees. It has that expandipanel and it gives u more room in the soldiers. Def get it buddy! Worth the money

[@mmaviator22]

How come on some places I see the Jungle bag being a mummy bag and others it is rectangle? I am curious if there is a difference because I cannot find it on snugpak's website, but if you look up on midwayusa you see it mummy style, same specs as well, and Ive seen it that style a few other places. Thanks for any info you have.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+mmaviator22 The one that I have is rectangular, not mummy style at all. Snugpack has many sleeping bags and there is the chance that some websites may have the wrong picture of the actual bag. This happens a lot. The jungle bag, from what I understands only comes in tan and OD green. There is another one that looks the same, comes in red but it has another name that I can remember at all. Go to www.proforceequioment.com and check out the sleeping bag sections,miss very well defined and they have the correct info. Thank you for watching. -Jacko

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+MuddyTigerOutdoors Sorry, the correct link is proforceequipment.com

[@Surefiresecurity]

It's definitely not a mummy bag. It's designed to be completely unzipped and used a blanket in hot weather. I sometimes use mine like this.

[@j.knutson3486]

How did it perform out in the field?

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Jacob Michael So far it has done great. It's very soft inside and very breathable. I have a trip coming up this weekend and I'll show the bag and talk about it a little more in the video. Thanks for watching! -Jacko

[@chrisfisher3900]

Yep thats the bag for south texas at least when your not half naked sweating like hell.

[@DrDennis]

Looks pretty thin to be good down to that temp.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

+DrDennis77 It is pretty thin but I can definitely withstand it. It's all in the materials and how they layer them. And of course as anything else one shouldn't rely on just this to keep you from the cold. A space blanket underneath would aid in keeping you warm at night. Thank you for watching! -Jacko

[@joshuahmoran]

awesome bag dude.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Joshuah Moran Hey Joshuah, I appreciate it! -Jacko

[@joshuahmoran]

could you use it in 70 degree weather?

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

Absolutely! Perfect for I'd say 50 to 80 degrees. -Jacko

[@huntardgrappler]

is the bug net effective?

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

[@richardmitten9171]

Lol, the weights the same whether compressed or not.

[@ronanrogers4127]

Richard Mitten ...I thought if you compressed it, it’s dense and therefore heavier, but if it’s not compressed it’s fluffy and therefore light LOL

[@dawnadam6164]

@@ronanrogers4127 air has weight so when "fluffy" it will weigh more but be less dense as density=mass/volume.

[@dawnadam6164]

not true. weight =density/volume

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Love red on a sports car not my bag. Thanks.

[@Blakgun]

First of all, it comes with a "stuff sack." A stuff sack is meant for you to stuff a sleeping bag into it. You don't have to roll it up. Secondly, the way you tuck your pants into your boots is really sexy... not. lol

[@scottfergusson8411]

Reviews would be better if you at least did a over nighter with it. It still had all the fold creases in it. Out of the bag reviews ...not interesting.

[@muddytigeroutdoors4790]

I have plenty of overnighters with this sleeping bag in my channel. -Jacko

[@5118eman]

Bag is not wide enough made 4 little european guys.

[@ronanrogers4127]

Eric M ...at 32” it’s wider than many, if not most, bags sold in the US...just take a look at the hundreds on Amazon.
