COLD sleeping bags…..Any opinions???? WINTER CAMPING?
ok, well im planning on doing some winter camping/ice fishing this year in northern wisconsin. I will have a large portable ice shanty and heater .
but what would be the best sleeping bag i could buy for these types of temperatures. It gets below zero in january but in december im expecting it to only be in the teens on average.
I found a nice Coleman square sleeping bag at Fleet Farm rated -5 degrees. $59.99
but does this mean it is comfortable in -5 degree cold? the chart on the box seemed a bit misguiding saying that the comfort temp was 20-30 i think. and below that was dangerous/extreme cold. ????
I know ill have a shanty and heater but i dont want to rely solely on that.
anyone have any good suggestions for sleeping bags under $80???
thanks
My spouse and I love to winter camp, but just say no to Coleman for anything other than stoves and lanterns. I would suggest that you go to backpacker.com and check out their rated gear for 2007. Every brand is different, so, even if the bag is rated to -5, it might run cold, or it might run hot. But the guys and gals at backpacker field test EVERYTHING and the feedback is excellent. Plus, their magazine is essential reading for anyone into the outdoors – they have all kinds of cool stuff!
Good luck and have fun!
