What all do I need in my sleeping bag?

Need a new sleeping bag for backpacking?

  • I go backpacking quite often and gear-wise, im way behind all of my friends (mainly cause my parents dont buy my gear). Ive taken care of everything but the sleeping bag. Right now i have a synthetic filled 35 degree coleman. I went backpacking last winter and it snowed when it was supposed to be 45+ degrees out and i suffered without a good sleeping bag or waterproof boots. What i would like is a sleeping bag that has a small stuff size and is atleast 30 degrees and costs less than 130$. Ive searched and its been tough to find one, any help is appreciated.

Hey Frosty D, Always good to talk to a fellow backpacker. Anything goose down (at least 2 lbs) will do the trick. One thing I do that really keeps me warmer and more comfortable is I folded a fleece sheet in half the long way and had it sewn that way. It increases the warmth and is way more comfortable than crawling into a cold sleeping bag. It also keeps your bag from getting so stinky on those longer trips. When you get home you can wash it, unlike your sleeping bag. I have many other tips about backpacking. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me. I have some real good tips on food! I never eat any of that dehydrated crap. Keep on packin'
