Sleeping Bags

Haha, I'm seriously loving all the metallica references - it's kind of weird when you sit at a PC and find yourself bursting out laughing and people look at you funny...

So after reading everyones comments and the previous posts as well, I am a little more confident to use my bag with all the other accessories on the amphitheatre at the end of the month. Who knows, I might get a little cold if I don't use my brain, and in turn, the rest of my gear correctly, but at least I will learn if I need a newer better bag in the process. I'm sure I wont peg.

By the way those referencing "jump in the fire" "Trapped under ice" "Nothing else matters""memory remains" ect ect ect....you guys have got some flippen amazing taste in music, as if you didn't, you would not know those names.... especially trapped under ice !

@Matt: Good luck with your hike, I hope it doesn't become like my hike for this weekend - The Day That Never Comes... Yet another hike cancelled (just had to do 1 more)

The trick is to zip them together ,then spoon.

But wait, it goes further - ever heard of Eisbrecher ? German techno-metal band, which is best played loud when the neighbours are far away, and then there's Rammstein's Rosenrot album - the entire cover-art is dedicated to an Ice Breaker theme.

Seems to me First Ascent is choosing some pretty devious ways to push subliminal messages at us !

Btw change in my view on Sleeping Bags, I always said sleep with lots of clothes on. Night 1 of GT I was really cold, TonyMarshall pointed out to me that a bag works of re-radiation of body heat and he suggested that I sleep wearing only my thermal inners. I tried that and it was far warmer than it was with lots of clothes on.

(My bag is a Mountain Hardware Pinole -7 bag, synthetic 1.4kg.)

Was it advertised? Wow I'll take 4!!!
