  • I share with you how to add extra warmth to your sleeping bag during those cold nights camping. Sometimes you may end up in colder conditions than your sleeping bag can handle. Should you cancel your camping trip for weather? Are there ways to get around an inadequate sleeping bag? I share my tricks for adding extra warmth to a sleeping bag.

    Hey Aaron - Glad to find you and your helpful videos! This “Old Dude/RoadTrekker" has not only subscribed, but I've also purchased your book, "Lost At Windy Corner," because I've been to and seen (from the tour bus) Denali itself. Also, I want to highly recommend the book: “Alaska - Not For A Woman” by Mary Carey - she’s the famous Alaskan pioneer homesteader who selected a site right outside the National Park. She also met and befriended the world renown bush pilot, Don Sheldon, who not only flew climbers across from nearby Talkeetna to the base of Denali, but was the one to “exclaim” to her the title of her book - Ha! I purchased her book from her petite daughter, Jean Carey Richardson at their family's McKinley View Inn right outside the NP. Anyway, good luck and stay safe out there!

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I appreciate that and hope you enjoyed the book. If you liked it, please leave a positive 5-star review on Amazon. That's cool to have met the legendary Sheldon. Stay safe!

    @ALinsdau - have you ever checked out Wiggy’s sleeping bags (they also have great camp booties, boot dryers, and many other great items). They’re made in the USA which is one of the many awesome things about the company. The owner may sound a little over the top when he goes into the benefits of his products but they actually do deliver. I spent over 6 weeks in a row in my Wiggy’s bag and it preformed flawlessly. The only downsides are they are on the heavy side and don’t pack down super compact.

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll have to check them out, thank you.

    I've watch a couple of your videos on this subject a few times now. I'm a cold sleeping female, not camping colder than -5c/23f, ever. (never say never lol). I currently use an rei -30f bag, with fantastic loft, when it's around -2c to 4c/28f to 24f I am usually warm enough (closer to -5 and I'm getting cold even with wearing 180 weight wool long pants, top and possum/merino blend hat). I'm really keen on getting a +3c comfort rating quilt for the weight aspects, but I am really concerned about getting cold. I've got a neoair xlite womens r5.4 pad. what I'm thinking of is taking your tip about the jacket on the feet, and flipping it. If I was to wear down jacket 600fp with hood and possum/merino blend hat, which I'm already carrying (and get some down pants and booties for when really cold) and then use the +3c quilt 800fp as the top layer, do you think that would work? I'm thinking that the quilt wont be heavy enough to compress the down in the jacket and pants and therefore add to the warmth. I would really appreciate your experienced opinion on this. If you don't think it would work, can you please explain why? Thank you

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Avoid wearing anything inside your sleeping bag that ends up compressing the down. You can add layers sleeping but the moment it squishes the down, you'll be colder. Only put down jackets/parkas on your down sleeping bag. Same thing - avoid compressing the down.
      Add your Z-rest on top of yoru neoair X-lite - that'll reduce the amount of heat you lose to the air mat, even as good as it is.
      I always wear down booties, a polar neck buff, windproof polar fleece headband and a hat when it's cold. I'll add a fleece balaclava to the mix if it's even colder. Contact me if you'd like to chat about it more.

      Yeah, I've done that, on long skidoo trips, when my feet were freezing . I called it "fire in the belly"

    Hi I was watching your sea to summit compression sack video and was wondering what size you used in the video?
    I recently purchased a very small -6 degree enlightened equipment quilt and it is extremely compressible and I am looking for a sack that'll make it even smaller.
    Thank you! Love the energy and the content

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use the XL for -20ºF and below bags. I use the M/L for 0-20º bags.

  • @crazymichigander3130
    @crazymichigander3130 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How should I store my western mountaineering bag in the large sack? Just stuff it in there? Still seems a little compressed.

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  ปีที่แล้ว

      I've left mine in the original sack without any adverse affects for years. It's even better if you can lay it fully out, say under a bed.

  • @onthetrailwithbart523

    Also what are your thoughts on "drying" your socks out by sleeping with them? Thanks

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Totally works. Been doing it for 20 years for sweat wetted socks. Wring them out if they’re dripping wet.

  • @azclaimjumper
    @azclaimjumper 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is your Puma Seeping Bag (-25ºF) have a Micro Fiber outer or the GWS outer?
    I, too, wear overstuffed Down Booties, however, mine are made by Goosefeet.
    Do you prefer Icebreaker Merino Wool as a base layer in preference to a polypro base layer when inside your sleeping bag?
    I take my Down Jacket, pull the sleeves so they are inside the jacket, then partially zip up the jacket, then put my legs through the jacket & pull it up to cover just my legs.
    I'm going to buy a couple pair of Smartwool Mountaineering socks, when they become available. It's something I really want/need.
    I, too, consider Buff Headgear MANDATORY when crawling into my Antelope GWS sleeping bag; I put a 100% wool Military Watch cap over the Buff.
    Cody Lundin, in his books, emphasizes the need to maintain core body temperature which starts with keeping your head warm, or cool. In cold weather, keeping your brain/head warm/hot will insure warm blood continues to flow to extremities.
    Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Puma bag is GWS. It's an expedition bag so I needed heavier fabric.
      Stay safe!

    A regular, breathable bivy is the best bang-for-weight warmth addition to kit (~6oz). Vapor barrier bags are very dangerous and almost always counterproductive.

  • @ytutoriallearning6251

    In one of your videos you said its good to eat some sugar just before going to sleep as that increases heat, but not eat food as that increases bloodflow to the stomach and can cool you down. What about drinking some olive oil which lasts longer into the night, have you some experience with that ?

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, that'd be hard to stomach. Some might use it as a good tool, though.

    what are your thoughts on WEARING a down jacket inside the sleeping bag? (provided you're not compressing the sleeping bag from the inside)

    • @ryanarifin9205
      @ryanarifin9205 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was wondering this same thing! How I've pushed my sleeping bags into colder temperatures it was meant for was just by wearing more clothes inside the sleeping bag.

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Put the down on top.

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great way to go if they don't compress the down.

  • @ryanarifin9205
    @ryanarifin9205 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If keeping your head overly warm will get your body to return blood flow back to your extremities (and ignore its natural response to bring blood to the core), could this be dangerous for the organs in your core?
    I think I tend to run cold with cold hands and cold feet, so I will definitely be following the warm head advice, but I'm curious if anyone knows much about the science of this.

    • @ALinsdau
      @ALinsdau  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Inducing hypothermia is a definite danger and risk. I balance that against knowing what my limits are and preventing my fingers/toes from freezing. This definitely falls under the "educational purposes only".
