Winter camping essentials: Sleeping Bags
MEC in Montreal offers a wide range of winter sleeping bags. Crawling into a sleeping bag that you know is going to be warm and comfortable is one of the singular pleasures of backcountry adventure. Just as a good sleeping bag can make for a good night’s sleep, an ill-suited one can spell discomfort or worse.
HEHE She is so cute and she said pee bottle.
Great video. I love down bags. I used to live in a cold climate and owned several down comforters of various weights, down jackets, and down sleeping bags. But as you stated, if it gets wet, not so good. I am slowly transitioning to synthetic. More weight, but I believe more durability, less cost, and better heat retention in wet weather. You are really a smart young lady. Enjoy your videos.
hey, saw a PHARROAH bag, must be mine, send it. and about the bottle, no thanks, rather be cold then piss in my bag. just pull it up over your head and breath a few, warms right back up. oh yeah, ill be expecting my bag soon. :-)
Which is best? down bags with continuous baffles so the down can be moved from the top side to the bottom in warmer months? or down bags with the down sewn into compartments so it can’t move?. I thought continuous baffles sounded like a good idea, but I’ve heard a few people complaining of lumping of the down and cold spots? but then top brands like Western Mountaineering still make continuous baffled bags and they should know how to make a decent bag, so which is it in your opinion?
Which is best?continuous baffles around a down bag so you can move the down from the top side to the bottom side to get a cooler bag in warmer seasons?or having the down sewn into compartments so it can’t move around?I’ve heard some people complain about ‘lumping’ of the down causing cold spots in continuous baffled down bags?

warming up with star jumps before getting into your bag, would never have thought of that, good tip !
Great video. Thanks.
agree the current U.S. Military bags are the absolute best by a LOOOONG shot. I would take a Mil bag outside in a bivy cover before I’d take one of these under cover in a tent
bitch wanna put my dick in your mouth and asshoel ahahah
It’s possible you will die, but that depends on more factors than just how much you paid for your bag. Not sure where your negative attitude is coming from, maybe its all the natural light. Down is expensive and has benifits, poly fill is cheap and has benefits. 850 down cost more than $30 US an ounce. There are a couple pounds in that bag, and the bag is made in the USA not in china as your bag is
get a silk lining for in side the bag! keeps it clean and makes it a bit warmer.
For those of us who doesn’t care to help the Western Mountaineering owner buy his next BMW, what below zero bag is best that costs under $500?
I don’t care if its a established name.
i saw this gorgeous woman being filmed by some guy that should of bin me lol he was actually using a sony 5 mp hd video recorder i think lol i went and got the MEC Fleece Bag Liner Mummy … i love mec :)
i use the northface synthetiic sleeping bag cuz condensation is a BIG PROBLEM in the winter
and in rainy situation .
No Way that is so strange, Great Shop
i saw you at mec in montreal hahaha
Good tips.
Wear your poly or fleece thermals.
Eat a fatty meal before hitting the sack.
Fluff the bag up by giving it a good shaking.
heat up water and take it with you into the bag. It better not leak tho.
Put your feet in in your gloves.
The cheapest and highest quality bag will be a Canadian or U.S. military surplus bag. The U.S. bags are down and poly filled and rated to -20. Roomy and time test tough. $60 Used.
Its a comfort rating depends if you usually get cold although I would say you could add a bivi bag and fleece liner to increase temperature rating, get a bivi bag that breathes otherwise your sweat will freeze
i have the thermal light -15 field and stream bag it was on sale for 70 bucks i guess that means i am going to die in winter surivial ?
Wow sleeping bags are expensive although I suppose you get what you pay for if you get cold might as well
Western Mountaineering great bags that is the one i used in the Himalayas last year
