>Sleeping bag rated for -40F (-40C)
Is there any reason I couldn't survive a Canadian/North American winter with one of these fucks while boondocking in a van? If I'm gonna be homeless I'd rather not be an urban """stealth""" rat who's despised by everyone and treated like human refuse and likely to get robbed by some junkie. Rather just comfily boondock innawoods in some cold ass place in my comfy sleeping bag.

Sleepings bags are retarded. You cannot trust them. They might keep you warm for 10mins, but when you have layed the isolation flat you are gonna get fukt.
But I like your plan!

Sleeping PAD not BAG. The pad goes under the bag.

Also get a roll of foam as a mat or a blanket to put under cause most body heat is lost through the ground when sleeping. I know the sleeping bag has that mostly covered but adding an extra layer and I use an emergency blanket under the mat as well to try and help reflect heat back up. It'll extend the time that your body heat stays with you than transfer out and burn calories.

As every Scientist knows, this is the crossover point of perfect Imperial/centigrade equilibrium. It just feels colder in your head.

Boiling point is 212 in F, which incidentally is 180 DEGREES from the freezing point of 32. Fahrenheit made his temperature scale based on degrees, and since 180 is equal to pi radians/half a circle in degrees, it was a good place to base a degrees based scale. The +32 was based on a saturated solution's freezing point IIRC. At the time creating a fully deionized solution of H2O was a lot more difficult than saturating one with salt, so it was a "better" benchmark.

He's describing how fukt you get 10 minutes after you have layed the isolation flat. And sleeping bags have a cognitive disability and are habitual liars. You've never been out have you? This is how we talk on the trail

If you're sleeping in a van then you dont really need a fancy $600 bag that is designed to a weight limit.
Just go to the local second hand store and buy a fuckload of thick blankets and wool blankets and whatnot, then get a nice thick piece of foam to lay on or a mattress.

My current stack is a thick blanket, then four wool blankets, then a summer camp sleeping bag spread across the top. insanely warm at just below freezing temps.

I've been in your shoes. A sleeping bag is definitely nice, but it doesn't need to be expensive. Just add layers of blankets. Start with 4, thicker the better. Some sort of mattress is absolutely required otherwise moisture from your breath will freeze your bag to the floor. If you have a way to heat water, a hot water bottle at your feet helps. Also candles help keep the chill off a bit. If you're in my neck of the woods (Peace River) I'd give you one of my small wood stoves, pipe, axe, saw. Then you'd be rolling the windows down in December. Take care.

Busy cutting wood all day. I used pic related for my Chevy van and prospectors canvas tent for hunting. Picked two of them up at a yard sale for $20 CAD. Not sure who or where sells them. The rust indicates how much use I get out of it these days.
