Buckster Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I got my new sleeping bag yesterday, unpacked it last night, layer it out and thought I would check it for size and see how quickly it warms up. I didn’t zip it up completely or use the drawstring on the hood. About two minutes after getting in the bag and realising how comfortable it was I woke up an hour and twenty minutes later wondering where the fuck I was. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ex father in law sleeps in a sleeping bag everyday during winter, says there's no comparison in the way they put you to sleep seconds after you close your eyes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called a Nanna Nap, sign of old age. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 My car just passed its MOT. Before Covid it was always tested in July, usually on a nice warm day. Due to the 18 month extension it's now in January, today's test involved lots of windscreen scraping and defrosting the inside of the window before I could even drive off. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the idea, my current bag is comfortable but it is a synthetic so it doesn’t pack very small, this is a down bag so packs a lot smaller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally at young peeps parties some will disappear off to find a room and let’s just say they are normally too busy to care who’s bed it is. Are the young people of today like that? I thought they were all too much of a snowflake to be getting up to anything just incase it hurt somebody's feelings 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to go and feed the horses in 0C temps and snowing like hell.....and on the way back I had a call from Jake's school. We were only round the corner so we went round there straight away.......seems he'd had an accident in the snow and soaked his trousers. So he needed a change of clothes. Phoned my boy from the school and said we were going to be at the house in two minutes to pick clothes up and take them back to him. He told her and she said SHE was going to take them to him. Which entailed a 15 minute walk while it was snowing and leaving him in wet clothes for an extended period. Fucking mental! Somebody really needs to do her in....I can't really believe she's still like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permission slips, waivers, STD clearances, condom test certificates, damp tests etc. It's seems very admin intensive if you want to keep out of court. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down sleeping bags are the ones that have to stay dry but are warmer than synthetic? I do hate ducks (beaky, quacky bastards) so I'm not against them, but not tried one yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This uses ultra dry down that has a nano polymer treatment that repels water. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I just tried it in the compression sack compared to my other bag and added a bottle of cider for comparison. Green one is the new bag. Will make a huge difference to luggage space. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
