Softie 6, snugpak chrysalis 5, a couple of gelerts.

Snugpak Sleeper extreme
One off Snugpak softie 12
Wish I was able to keep some of the gems I sold, The Tactical 4 and the softie 3 looked brilliant. So many good features on the Snugpak tactical range. Down bag one day I hope!

Its just the price and the whole "getting wet" argument. It just annoys me that half my pack contains the softie. Im going to be very poor for the next 3 years (uni starts in a week) But one day !
Cheers for the info though

A tesco ultra lite, which is as bad as it sounds until you add a wool mix inner or zip it together with the fidgety old mans tesco bag. I also have a vango 4 season.
Re igniting an old thread, and why not?
1977 Blacks of Greenock Highland (Hollofil, and still in use), originally their 4 season bag and 1st synthetic? V. expensive in the day, and it shows.
2x Czech Army Bag/Bedrolls. Best £10 ever....
British Army 90/95? cold weather bag, liner, and 2 goretex bivvis. Very warm..........
...needless to say, compactness and lightweight have not been prime considerations with the surplus bags! But wonderful value!

My boy has a British army surplus medium sized arctic sleeping bag with MVP / BTP bivvy bag.
I have the large new modular sleeping bag (fecsa) medium weight .
Also have the Highlander 3 season ranger lite series .
(The highlander doesn't get so much use now)
MVP /BTP bivvy bag and thermalon snugpak liner.
Must be said, the new modular sleep system is the dogs whatsits , warm, spacious and water resistant.
Based on the Corinthia defence 4.
Apologies for thread necromancy. ☺

I have two sleeping bags:
Alpkit Mountain Ghost: Comfort limit of -1, great bag which does me for majority of the year
British Army Arctic Bag: This is a recent Acquisition, will use this when the temperatures get really cold!
I also have two blankets:
Snugpak Jungle Blanket
Serbian army wool blanket

For wild camping I'm using the Snugpak Jungle bag in summer and the UK army/Fesca Medium weight bag with polycotton liner in the Winter. I have to say the new army 'medium' bag is probably the best military bag I've ever used. So warm. The only downside is the bulk and weight, and the liner is a bit of a faff. I managed to get the Medium bag (large), liner and MTP MVP bivibag new as part of a deal on ebay for £70.
I can boost the Jungle bag using either a US poncho liner or a fleece throw that we have.
When I'm hammocking the Snugpak underblanket does the trick with the sleeping bag appropriate to the temps.
For family camping I have a pair of Vango Nitestar 250's - the left hand and right hand zip style, so me and the missus can keep each other warm, so to speak.
I still have a Snugpak Discovery bag from the 90's that I bought to take to the alps. Was a great sleeping bag, just a shame it was a pinky red colour.
I've bought the boy a 'medium' bag too for when he gets his **** into Winter camping. He has a Vango Lunar 250 for the time being.
Will probably get the boy the army Lightweight bag next year if he shows an interest in coming along with me when I go hammocking.
