What kind of sleeping bag do you use?

Since I camp mostly in cooler/colder weather, my sleeping bags are geared towards the colder temps.

I have a Slumberjack Ultrapacker Magnum that is rated down to 0 degrees. It is huge, I can put my clothes in there with me to keep them warm. This is my camping bag, as it's too heavy for backpacking.

I also have a Mountain Hardware bag (can't remember the name/model) that is rated to 15 degrees. This is my backpacking bag, but I also use it for other camping trips.

Both bags are synthetics. I know down would probably be warmer, but knowing MY luck, my down bag would somehow get wet and would be useless.

now this is all out of the window if your truck camping and don't mind the 27lb coleman bag :D

LOL! That's how I do most of my camping, so I don't mind the extra weight. If I'm backpacking, I'm taking the lighter bag.

For fall, winter and spring I have "Camp 7" down bag that was once rated to either 0 or 5 degrees, I can't remember. Honestly, I've had it for over 35 years and it's in very good shape and still keeps me warm. I also have a light weight summer bag but I can't remember it's name either. I'd go look but it's in it's stuff sack ready to go.

35 years dang thats a long time for a sleeping bag! :eek:


Honestly, my dad bought it for me for a trip to Idaho when I was 14. It has seen a lot of country and held up well. Saw one on ebay awhile back and almost bought it for my daughters. I should have.
