Snugpak Softie Elite 3 Sleeping Bag- Great Gift Idea

[@simonvance8054]

I love that in the Coyote tan - my favourite colour! Snugpak has some great design features..

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree

[@jasonsmith6408]

Coyote tan is cool, just picked up 2 jungle blankets in that color for $24 each! My next purchase is this sleeping bag. Got the Bunker last week too!

[@stewartbuckley3937]

I like the black/white antimicrobial odor treatment :)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Stewart Buckley No microbes around here ;-)

[@pappy451]

+Stewart Buckley mike robes? my name is mike and i didnt get a robe, thats messed up.

[@BODE318]

I have the elite 1 for summer and the elite 3 for winter these are great bags, i unzip and use as topquilt, they have always taken care of me. A big fan of snupak.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They make great gear

[@BikerBytes]

Old metric system? I think not, lol. The US, my friend, is one of the last economies using the old imperial system.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

[@chrmah]

In the US most don’t know there a other world out there 😂

[@simonvance8054]

Now I see what you mean.. I recently bought the Elite 4 and I love the design and features of the Elite series, am likely to be buying a few more of them. In some ways I like these more than some of their more expensive bags. The Paratex Micro outer material to me seems twice as thick and tough as the Paratex Steelplate used on the Tactical 2 I have.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They are just plain snuggly

[@newenglandfish1652]

Nice bag Bryan and your really quick on packing it back up. Nice review

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+NewEnglandFish I practiced first.

[@scoopdedoop2673]

love that skunk! such a cool idea.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+SCOOP DE DOOP Skunk? what skunk?

[@Jorigin]

That little pocket inside the bag would be perfect for putting a little heat pack to help warm up the bag.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Julian Tang good idea

[@40belowful]

in the late 70's I bought a" north Face " king tut mummy bag for where I live:) It had 6 inch loft and new polar guard insulation then which kept you warm even wet. it was good down to minus 40 below:) Way to hot unless you were mountain climbing:) I kept it in my vehicle if I broke down in my artic conditions as survival gear. You could have crawled into it and sat it vehicle till help came by staying warm. right now fairbanks is -14 out:) this bag would be alright in are summers here.Good review:) and yes you get what you pay for:)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+40belowful Wow. You're having a heat wave huh?

[@40belowful]

you can kinda say that as are normal temps in dec/jan are in the -20 to -50 :) Very dangerous to break down in with your car. So hence the survival gear as you can get frostbite or freeze in a hour or less. They taught us artic survival in high school here back in the 60,s/70,s but sadly they do it no more. :)

[@2icelollys1goat]

Awesome video. Thank you

[@moisesssantiago8296]

Nice skunk shot 👍🏻

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Skunk? What skunk?

[@zer0edgy952]

metric for the win

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

;-)

[@neemancallender9092]

Have used this bag?or just reviewing it if you have used it what is the lowest temperature you used it and you were not cold

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Sadly, it was stolen from my truck before I could use it. Which really made me mad because it is a very nice bag.

[@willhughes6205]

I used the bag last night. temps got to -5 and I had base layer socks t shirt and my tent was not even zipped up properly, I was snug.

[@johnnyatoms3620]

Does it come with the skunk too?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Skunk? What skunk?

[@grizzcarter4943]

At first I was wondering why Eric Clapton was in this video xD

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Mandalore Tactics Yeah, right.

[@joni4cats]

You'll have to air the bag to get rid the smell from your little friend. Nice review.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+joe McGee I don't smell anything.

[@jameshargroder7090]

Very nice sleeping bag, but, I have a military issue mummy bag, very warm, but also Very bulky, even with a compression stuff sack, but, ebay has military surplus sleep system compression sacks, and cheap military surplus patrol bags, here in La the patrol bags can be bought for under 20.00 plus some with shipping, so I think that will suffice for me?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@emmarowley1096]

The only problem with the military surplus sleeping bags are that they need to be laundered and I mean washed at least 3 times if not more before you want to sleep in them, my friend bought 2 Because of the price and I bought one and gave it away after having it washed twice because it still smelled rancid and of stale sweat, it honestly smelt like someone had died in them, and then the cost of the Tech wash etc is just a false economy. I went and bought the Snugpak softie elite 4 and I highly recommend it and the Snugpak range.

[@BODE318]

You want a great inexpensive top quilt winter bag, here it is. Snugpak makes great affordable stuff.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Very true!

[@mr.skeptical3071]

I'm undecided about this one or the marmot nano 35°. Can anyone tell me which is better

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

Snugpak makes pretty good sleeping bags, too pricey for my blood but if I ever do decide to go after a new bag I've got my eye on the Carinthia bags that most European militaries use these days.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Pricey is relative. I looked at REI a while back. You can drop a bundle on a bag without even trying.

[@freddyt86]

Agreed. Sleeping bags can run you a few hundred bucks easy.

[@mortentoftdal4117]

Nah stay off carinthia

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good, Thank you very much

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@hardcorecampinggear]

Are you sure it has YKK zippers? I just received the Sotfie 5 and it has tiny cheap zippers that snag. No way I'm trusting this bag in 0 degree weather where the zipper comes apart and I'm freezing my butt off trying to get the tiny zippers back together with shivering wet fingers.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

No I am not sure. Things may have changed in 5 years

[@hardcorecampinggear]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose I just did some research and found that you can buy and install a zipper stop that will prevent the bottom from coming apart. Might help with some of the issue.

[@mikejohnson9788]

Bryan, great videos. Which do you think is best overall the Snugpak Softie Elite 3 or the Outdoor Vitals Summit 20?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I don't know. My Softie Elite 3 was stolen before I could use it. Both are excellent bags but different. One is synthetic and the other down.

[@toto9211]

Hola desde ESPAÑA, tengo una exactamente igual y tengo una duda, a esta bolsa puede adjuntar el accesorio SNUGPAK EXPANDA, tengo los hombros anchos y necesito tener más anchura en la bolsa, gracias

[@camaradaayuso4347]

Lo has puesto a prueba en bajas temperaturas? Estoy dudando entre Snugpak y Carinthia... saludos

[@carolinaypanaque3460]

do you have a review of the softie 9 hawk? thanks

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I do not

[@csh6220]

When it is rated for , say, 14 degrees, does that mean that if the temp, goes down to 14 degrees, you will: stay very warm, just avoid dying from hypothermia, or it will simply be tolerable? Anyone ? I really do not know exactly what this means.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+csh 62 I think it is a comfort rating.

[@TurtleBushcraft]

Looks like a great bag. atb John

[@Cands528]

Skunks Skunks every where skunks. I need to make an appointment with my psychiatrist.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Stanley Sprow Psychiatrist? What psychiatrist?

[@pappy451]

+Stanley Sprow easy now big guy ..

[@phyllismulkey3778]

[@pappy451]

[@brennanjones5502]

Haha great video!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Brennan Jones Thanks.

[@tinykarpo80s]

Eric klapton is that you?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yes, would you like to buy an autograph?

[@kkprepper950]

Love God Love your channel. Thank you Brian. Snugpac(unlike the metric system) Is a great import. The bag I'll keep the metric system they can keep.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I like it for distance but that's all.

[@ozdavemcgee2079]

Stuck in that archaic metric system....uhm...imperial is the old...metric is the new...thats why old military rifles like 303 are graduated in yards..and newer ie FNFAL G3 Steyr Etc...are graduated in meters

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Gotcha ;-)

[@Mario-z3p]

The imperial system is from the last century nowadays everyone is using metric!! because it is a better system... -:) whoeaaa....

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Whatever. ;-)

[@jacklee5903]

100% true, the metric system is all in base 10 and has easier maths! Also, the U.S. Is among the minority of countries still using imperial

[@Mario-z3p]

+Survival On Purpose I wrote it with a twist in order to increase the comments but I got two simple reactions I had hoped for more. anyway both systems are good.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Mario Knife Making I completely agree the math is easier with the metric system, it just doesn't fit my frame of reference. Especially weights.

[@scoopdedoop2673]

+Mario Knife Making we already know.. based on 10's,

[@TheMaddman187]

did I see a skunk in the sleeping bag ?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Skunk? What skunk?

[@pappy451]

+TheMaddman187 uhhh, are you madd ?

[@TheMaddman187]

check the video at the 5:07 mark

[@mrlarkin6416]

Skunk! 😂

[@jasonsmith6408]

Am I the only one that saw a polecat?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hmmm

[@justalurkr]

Jason Smith I definitely saw a polecat. :-)

[@michaelhursey9]

Yes you did see a polecat in there he just threw it out LoL

[@leommedina1824]

first comment.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Good reflexes.

[@5118eman]

Not wide enough

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Eric McNeil Bummer

[@sgbradley]

so your saying its good for us Fat people! Good that you can fold the feet up cause I hate wearing my prosthetic leg in the bag. 😆 As for your Metric System here's a hit for us Canadians and British we don't use the system 100% Canadian's Grams up to a pound and then Its standard system but British use Kilos all the way until its fluids like Beer and Gasoline then same in millimetre up to a litre and after a gallon its back to standard. (No one in Britain or anywhere else in the World say 750 millimetre's of beer its still a Pint).

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Stephen Bradley I'm still confused about the whole pound and shilling thing.

[@sgbradley]

Survival On Purpose I'm from Glasgow Scotland and I ALWAYS get confused about shilling and Pence too. Canadian cash is easy, its plastic paper that is worthless!

[@pappy451]

+Survival On Purpose pound of what silly thing?

[@sgbradley]

Pappy £ of England $ !

[@CosgroveNotts]

But you never used it

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I know. It was stolen before I had a chance to.

[@christianbach4986]

You realize that those people you are talking about is like 99% of all other countries, only The United States, Myanmar, and Liberia have not yet adopted the metric system, some use both, just like all other countries should not adopt english as their primary language but rather learn other languages then their own. Maybe you should try to learn metric system and another language.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Christian Bach it was a joke.

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

Lol. What is "joke" in the metric system?

[@fionaford9927]

If you watch carefully he always has a toy skunk some where in the video
