So it see that I'm being a tad ambitious with £60 for a bag that does it all.
Couple of things.
Just purchased the highlander so don't really want to fork out more for another pack and I do have a 65ltr if I really have to carry lots but I'm trying to experiment with going lighter.
I think the old adage of buy once buy right (something like that?) seems to apply to sleeping bags.
So new plan
Keep saving, up to the £100 ish mark for a really decent bag that will do for as many seasons as poss.
I just found my old army warm weather sleeping bag (same as the jungle bag?) , it was stuffed into a rucksack which I don't use, so I'm thinking of using this just now and through summer.
Can still be a bit chilly in the night/morning just now is there any easy way to boost the warmth when using this bag??
My first thought was again to pack a wool blanket as well as the warm weather bag.
Second thought was more about was under the ground, under my body in a hammock,so a sleeping pad of some type,I have heard good things about the British army roll mat (I do like army gear!) but this is a bulky option and maybe not keeping with lightening the load nor fit the 33ltr.
Thanks as always.
