Hunter Super Light (With Hood) Rectangular Sleeping Bag

I used a Wiggys bag when I lived in Alaska, as did almost all of my scout troop. Most of us had their -40 2 bag system. I never had it down that cold but definitely got down to -10 to -20 range with no issues.

They also sell compression sacks. With a sitting on it and pulling the straps. I get it squished down pretty small. But you’re right. They don’t pack down extremely small. My favorite wiggys is this one. https://www.wiggys.com/specials/hunter-super-light-with-hood-rectangular-sleeping-bag/ It’s 6lbs. Rated to 0 degrees. But 0 degrees of happiness and warmth not survival. It packs down very small. The size of a basketball with a compression sacks. My wife also uses it but she runs cold. She uses an additional blanket or comforter and she’s happy and warm.

Wiggys.com They make custom sleeping bags that aren’t crazy expensive. I’m 6-5 and 300lbs. I sleep all spread out like a starfish. They made me a huge custom sleeping bags 4 actually over the years as I needed heavy weight for -20 conditions, then 3 more for various temperatures and backpacking ultralight.

Wiggys.com They have long bags and will make custom ones if you need a wider size. Great quality and you will love the bag forever.

Wool socks, insulated Danner boots, synthetic long underwear, synthetic boxer briefs, long sleeve cotton shirt, wool flannel mix shirt, synthetic rain parka, balaclava, baseball hat. Add a sleeping bag from wiggys.com And you’re good down to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Eat red meat and get lots of iron. If you are vegan. Eat spinach and kale. Are you talking colder?

Wiggy bags out of grand junction Colorado I slept cold with every fancy ‘outdoor’ brand bag until I was 20. My dad had been using wiggy bags for a decade at that point and I finally switched after having to cut a fishing trip short due to lack of sleep from the cold. Bought a wiggy bag when I got home. Have been sleeping warm for the last 29 years. All of my friends that have made the switch say thank you for the recommendation.

Wiggy sleeping bag. High r value pad like a thick exped. Ignik heated pad cover if you have power. Sleep in clothes so you don’t get cold taking them off then cold again putting them back on in the AM. Get super organized so you’re not wasting time dicking about. Things that you don’t mind doing in summer warmth can get really annoying really quickly in the cold.

Wiggys sleeping bags are amazing, though not the smallest ever.  I would want one in a war zone.

i would look at wiggies over bags, i think that covers 40 degrees. they are a good heavy duty bag, kids are rough. wiggies uses real temp numbers, not just survive the night ratings. if your a larger scout master, they can make you a custom bag 2x wide and 2 x tall. i have ran my 20 degree bag down to about 18 , in a tent . but is way to hot for summmer. but perfect for fall. ive been thinking of ordering a over bag for summer and maybe bring a woobie blanket.

wiggys. they're not light, and they don't pack very small, but if that's not a concern then they're basically the best synth bags you can get.

Wiggys. Super heavy and bulky though. Otherwise you are looking at various 0F and -20F rated bags from Marmot, Sea to Summit etc.
