DIY or budget sleeping bag

Anonymous Sun 05 Feb 2017 21:18:24 No.944985 View View Reply Original Report

What's your budget solution for a nice down sleeping bag?

I'm on a budget and need a 0- 10 degrees Celcius sleeping bag/quilt/whatever for around 100 euros.

What's your project. (overall cost, materials used etc, pics?)

Did the PCT with this last year. $50 shipped, it's a no brainer. It's about a pound heavier than most down mummy bags because of the low quality fill, but the weight made it more cozy for me and I couldn't justify spending 3X more for that little of weight savings.

Quality down fill is expensive, even if you were to stich your own bag. In a perfect world, I would blow $400 + on an oversized down quilt from Enlightened Equipment. Good luck faggot.

This is me waking up in the bag at Harts pass on a snowy morning, about 30 miles from Canada. I have hundreds more pictures if you still don't believe me, all the way down into San Diego County.

Btw, I did the whole trail broke with $200 worth of backpacking equipment and an EBT card.

reviews on this seem pretty nice, plus its insanely cheap but is it 65 dollars down the drain or worth a try?

wasn't that a little too warm of a sleeping bag? maybe the rating isn't what they say it is. I did the AT in a 40 degree synthetic and sent it home after the first 700miles. Bought a cheapass blanket in walmart when it got colder up north.

kek it's over 6.5 feet long. Instead of spewing shit out on the internet because you've never done anything with your life, you might consider offing yourself you passionless cunt.

The ebay ad says its 90% down, the rest feathers. I think it's probably 500 fill, which is difficult to come by because manufacturers don't make bags that inefficient anymore.
>>945081
I slept in my clothes every night and I hardly ever left it open to breathe. In hind sight a zero rating wouldn't have been that bad. Slept in the snow on San Jacinto and near the border in early October and never was too cold. The altitude is probably higher on the pct on the jmt and up in northern Washington.

What's your opinion on quilts:

this doesn't seem to expensive, and I ve heard sometimes groups of people buy cumulus bags/quilts in bulk to reduce the price more.
I would be in.

Would a polar fleece blanket work for sleeping purposes instead of bag? It's smaller and lighter, I guess.

Aegismax D and G series on aliexpress (D700, G700, possibly G400 should be warm enough).
Not stitched through baffles, decent loft, fairly cheap.
