>>515626i know right. only phaggots filter their water
>>515632it's natural, normal, relaxing, beautiful, and empowering. i am not an trol
>>515630>Did I say anything about sleeping pads? No, I didn'tyou've got to be kidding. your first sentence complained about so-called newbies strapping stuff to the outside of their pack. you're also wrong about modern synthetic bags being about as compressable as down. down is feather, and as compressable as they come. if you're going on a trip and don't have time to pick up a $300+ hummingbird, there's nothing wrong with putting your synthetic sleeping bag in a drybag and attaching it to your pack
>to claim that you are unable to keep a down bag dry after more than "a few days" on the trail just tells me that you don't know what you're doingagain, your reading comprehension skills suck. where are you getting "a few days"? i said "prolonged periods", as in months, not days. the reason why synthetic bags are better for prolonged periods is because they can dry out much easier, whereas a down bag might be struggling after a few months without professional care
hot and rainy/jungle or summer = definitely synthetic
somewhat cool or somewhat warm with occasional rain = either down or synthetic based on trip duration
cold and dry/winter = definitely down
>Unless you have severe bladder problems, your point is mootwtf are you even talking about? is this some kind of lame piss in the sleeping bag joke? i think several months of sweat would do in a down bag, but a synthetic one would fare much better. i'm of course talking about continuous usage every single night with no breaks in use
>No, I've never gone on a camping trip longer than 14 days myselfobviously
>I don't care if you have a "drybag" around it. The second you set the pack down on rocks or a twig with thorns, that thing will get a holethere are many light, but insanely durable drybags that're very cheap. plus, it's not like you have to attach it to the bottom
