I have a decent sleeping bad that I "borrowed" from my dad. When it's cold, I add a blanket or two on top, and I'm perfectly happy.

I DO NOT need a sleeping bag that takes minutes to get out of. I'm clumsy enough to struggle out of the one I currently have. When it's raining or sleeting, I'll break out the tent.

If I can park my truck close enough to hear my alarms, I can fit my matress pad in the back and can leave the hatch cracked, and it gets toasty in there when it's cold outside.

Electric blankets...

Eh, well, I'll just have to use the old tent for now. Or I'll just sleep under the stars. The one thing that I stocked up on when I still worked at Cabela's was UA cold gear and other clothes to keep me warm and toasty.


If you do that, buy one of those mountain sleeping bags rated for -30 degrees hehe, then you can sleep under the stars perfectly comfortable and make fun of all the people freezing in their tents. Lol.


Yeah but aren't those bags $500 and don't they take several minutes to get out of? I like the idea of electric blankets. lol


Mine didn't cost any more then maybe $50. And I got out of it with no problem when it was 14 degrees outside and alarms we going off..

And Bret was yelling for his shoes, lmao.

Jason, it was a reference to last Feb's trip out to Emma...it was 14 degrees, I was in one of those sleeping bags, under the stars, warm and toasty...and everyone else that had a tent was complaining of the cold...

So I had to keep rubbing it in hehehe.

That was also when Bret had a fish at first light, and ran out of his tent...without his shoes.

Loc: TX, of course.
I was fine in the tent in my sleeping bag.

I was hoping it would start sleeting on your sleepingbagged self.

I believe you now own a tent, and I've seen you eyeing my tentcot.

That was the chair burning trip! I slept under the stars as well. I am fine with that, as long as I have layers to keep me warm. Again, I could get a better sleeping bag, but there are other priorities, like actually going fishing.

Yes, and I believe I heard you say..."I wish I had a heater for my tent, it's freezing in there!" Hehehe.

The tent is to protect me from the rain...

But. I will admit. Your tent cot is pretty sweet lol.
