Re: [Paddlewise] sleeping bags

One key thing in selecting a bag is to not get too much bag.  If you don't
go out when it gets below 40 degrees you don't need a bag rated for -20F.
Buying too much bag not only costs more money, but it is harder to pack and
usually less comfortable to sleep in.

I use a 20F rated Cats Meow (NorthFace)  with a compression sack it packs
well.  I vary the warmth of the bag by what I wear, Poly long johns when it
gets cold, boxers when it is warm.
