Extending sleeping bag range 31-Dec-2009 At 12:10:12 PM Wollemi

Stating the obvious, put the snug 3 season bag into the lightweight summer bag. Either
way, you will get compression, ie., loft is reduced (but it will work).
I frequently sleep in winter with a good quality down jacket on inside one of 2 older down
sleeping bags I have. Reckon my next addition to this will be down trousers - more
versatile; allowing me to get up and get going the next morning.

Sleep cold? Use socks, beanie and neck-muff. Put the rope between your feet and the
wall of the tent to stop feet pressing against the cold. Set aside a midnight snack of a
muesli bar (and not a quick-hit of sugary chocolate).
Use a pee bottle inside your sleeping bag (make sure you are well and truly awake and
focused for this!). Saves getting up and more cold - and you have a hot water bottle to
cuddle up against...
