As soon as it get´s a bit colder here I will try it again to see if it can take some cold. But I will probably use it with another sleeping bag inside it for norway or sleep in my cold weather parka and pants :rolmao:
:rolmao: I'm gonna use my Ajungilak Tyin Elite and a Jerven Fjellduken - that should do it no matter what the temperature

I have heard about the "Jerven Fjellduken" I have heard that all norweigans always carry one and use them all year around?
Just cehecked what they cost and they were not cheap...

Friendliness. But that's all
Sorry Johan, I didn't mean to highjack your thread and turn it into a Fjellduken thread :roll:
And you are right : They are not cheap !! But they are still a superb piece of equipment. I have only used the standard model up till now, but over New Year I will get the new Multimate model.
I will do a review of the Jerven Fjellduken Multimate when I get this new model just over New Year - if there is any interest in that of cause ?

A lot of people who travel extensively in the mountains use them. They are also more or less standard issue in the army.Viking said:

Wolverine tarp.CLEM said:
It is actually more than just a tarp. It is a mountain rescue bag (all sides have zippers and you can zip it into a bag), a poncho, a tarp shelther, and the insulated models can even be used as a light sleeping bag (one model was designed specially for the army as a substitute to a winter sleeping bag). The insulated lining is detatchable - and the new Multi model can even be converted into a proper two man tunnel tent (with additional accessories).TheViking said:

I can agree with thatCLEM said:......Oh and i dont reckon there is anything cheap in Norway,well if there is ive not found it or what it is yet.

Gerd, you can hihack my threads anytime.
I have tried the sleeping bag this weekend and this time it was about 4-5 minus and I was warm. We spent the night in a lean to with a longlog fire but it burned it during the night and early in the morning a guy with his new lightweight sleeping bag woke up freezing and was lying and was warmer then I am at home. For 400 SEK (£30) as the sleeping bag cost me I can it´s well spended money.

): Let's just hope that it will be just as good at even lower temps. Eleven more days and I am going to recce for good campsites, :mischief: I will try to find one that will be really cold, then we can test how those brits (or well, at least one of them :wave: ) cope with that :shock: 
I better run and duck for cover now :tw:

No I got the sleeping bag from a surplus store here in sweden, it´s a very heavy monster. My guess it weighs 3-4 kg. But it have kept me warm in both norway and cold nights here in sweden.
I have found another bag in my surplus shop wich seems to be the same as this one http://www.surplusandadventure.com/ishop/800/shopscr1614.html and it looks really good and I will probably buy one just to see if they are any good.
No, but so far I have slept in it when it was -20 and even slept in it when it was wet and around -10-15 without any problems.

A shield mark is often used on Norwegian Military equipment. Often a number inside the shield indicates year of manufacture. The 89 might indicate that the bag was made in 1989.
