My Shiralee

[treadlightly]

I thought these US wool sleeping bags were for much colder weather??

Looks good, this shiralee. I like the touch of colour you added to it!
But I think you should add a "permanent" groundsheet to this blankettroll, John.
Keeps the wool dry, the weight tolerable and the comfortlevels high.

I think they may come in different weights. Certainly mine is no winter bag.

Hi John,
I'm sorry. I should have been clearer about the groundsheet.
What I meant was a separate groundsheet, but permanently added to the roll.

Ah I see - I dont think I would use it without a groundsheet - except indoors

That is very interesting project there John.

My Shiralee wrapped in a groundsheet (IPK) and a 3x3 tarp (Snugpak), the idea being that I would want my tarp up first while the bedroll is still protected from the elements by the IPK....

Oooooh! I love the simplicity of it all. And it lends itself well to historical activities.
