powderhound Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Hey I know a bunch of you guys have some sleeping bags laying around that you have not used in over a year. So you should help a poor college student out and get yoruself some beer money . i am looking for a bag for some light and fast stuff. between 10-15 degree synethic, lighter better then heavier.

Fromage Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 10-15 degree synethic, lighter better then heavier. Expect a bag that weighs at least three pounds and fills a good chunk of your pack. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 You only need a bag that warm for Alaska or car camping. Quote
powderhound Posted August 2, 2006 Author Posted August 2, 2006 Dear, Satan I know that it is really really hot in hell, but here on earth it can get pretty cold some places. Like inside my car or at the base of a cliff on a glacier. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 News Flash: Light and Fast is not always comfortable. Colder temps not mitigated by your sleeping bag should be addressed by wearing more clothes, such as a belay jacket; or by bringing a lightweight tent, which often makes sense in the Cascades anyway due to bug issues. If you are winter camping in Montana I can see needing a bag that warm, maybe. Quote
powderhound Posted August 2, 2006 Author Posted August 2, 2006 well, harry to tell you the truth, it can get cold in montana, and since that is were i spend 9 months out of the year including winter that is where i will be. Thank you for your concern fo my well being. I will return the favor sometime. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 well, harry to tell you the truth, it can get cold in montana, Yeah I know i lived there for 6 years. Just trying to help, don't want to see you lugging around some 10-15 in the summer like some gaper mountie. Quote

The Cheese Guy is correct, powderhound. To get what you're asking for, you'll be lugging around about 3 to 4 pounds. That being said, I have an old (20 years?) TNF Snowshoe bag. It's in the temp range you seek, Polarguard (synthetic) filling, and hasn't been used in about 10 years or so, so the "spooge factor" should be considerably lower than other bags you might get from this board. I even went so far as to make and sew in my own draft tube to make the zipper area warmer. PM if you want more details. Quote
midweststuck Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I have a TNF cat's meow endurance. It is polargaurd Delta fill weighs just under 3 lbs, packs down pretty small, and has a waterproof shell but no seam tape. I like down more now and have a couple other bags i like. get a hold of me at ejnielsen5 at att.net if you are interested. Quote
sobo Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 powderdog, midweststuck has the bag you're looking for. The Caterwauler is a 15-20 degree bag, IIRC. I had one years ago, but it got ripped off the back of my bike in Vegas. Quote
