hey sc/out/s, winter camping thread? Post pictures of anything you use for camping when it's as cold as your cold, black heart. Tents, sleeping bags, coats, special pants, snowshoes, GO TO TOWN.

Shameless self bump. These are the boots I use. Standard issue US Air Force "Mukluks." They're rated down to -40 degrees. They're god damn toasty and I wouldn't go trekking in snow in anything else.

That sleeping bag. Define not expensive. Brand? Name? Weight? Dimensions when packed?

Really no different from my summer gear apart from gloves and snowshoes. You don't need to over-dress because you'll either be working hard or cozy in your bag.

I love my Nepalese wool sweater. It has a fleece liner and is good down to 30 degrees even without a jacket.

>>45721 Sorry, haha. It's a Eureka Brand Wild Basin 0 Degree Sleeping Bag. It cost me about $60 at my local army navy store. I think it weighs about 6 pounds. maybe less. It comes with a compression bag that compresses it down to about a 9-11 inch diameter that's like 16 inches long.
It's honestly the best camping item that I've invested in.

>>45727 I see where you're coming from but I always find that there are times, usually after the hike to the campsite and before I get into my bag, that I'm really glad that I brought so many clothes.

>>45745 That doesn't sound much heavier or bigger than my current one; similar pricing too IIRC. I'll check into that. Thanks!

>>45781 Good rule. I always pack a few extra things in case something gets wet though.
>>45806 And yeah we use Fahrenheit here in God's Chosen Nation, AMURRICA. no but really I wish we would fucking use metric. Whenever I say "meter" in a conversation the reaction is equivelant to if I said something like "I have a vagina where my butthole should be."
