PETAL_MS_SCOUTER Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Just back from a cold weather campout (by Mississippi standards) where the boys slept under tarps. I allowed by son to use my designated "cold weather" mummy bag that I've had for about 12 years. The bag was originally rated at about 10-15 degrees. Everyone survived a night that bottomed out at about 33 degrees, but made me wonder if there's some general lifespan a bag might have before it loses its cold weather effectiveness.

k9gold-scout Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Take care to story any cold weather bab in a lose fitting bag. Loft or air pockets keeps you warm. When you compress a baf for a long period it will lose much of its abilty to keep you warm. Bags only wear out when you use them so much, they come apart.

Mike F Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I store mine laid out flat under my bed. Only have to shake off the dust bunnies and stuff it in the bag before heading out the door. Sometime this winter I intend to sew an old sheet into a dust cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
