How I'll Seek Your Help

[Smooth & Wasabi]

I recently got a long Marmot Radon from sierra trading post for under 300 bucks. 0 degree bag, 850 fill down, and just a few ounces over 3 pounds. I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces as I got it this spring but it was the best value to quality I could find on a new winter bag.

So my question/help for you is simple. I need a $300 winter sleeping bag suggestion, a possible 65L Bag that's reliable and affordable. $300 for a sleeping bag is insane to me. Possible clothes that would help me in a winter situation. What I normally use is too bulky when packed. A possible DIY under quilt that'll help me keep my booty warm if I hang. And I'm sure other things I'm forgetting. I've got a tarp, hammock, and cook kit managed already as well as a saw, knife, and axe. Some things are worth the weight and needed. I also have some base layers I'll be bringing as well. The really bulky stuff is just my coat and my pajama bottoms. Never had a good bag so always needed them.


I realize not a lot of that made sense. Sorry.[/QUOTE]

I have $300 I am willing to spend on a sleeping bag that needs to be a long version. I have a Big Agnes Q Core sleeping pad I'm content with. My cook kit as well is well thought out through experience and I like it based off that. So my question/help for you is simple.

If you are winter camping with a hammock, I'd recommend an Underquilt such as an Incubator by Hammockgear. It will compress and keep you warm.

Another option is to use a DIY Peapod. If you are familiar with Shug on YouTube, this is what he uses in Minnesota winters. If you haven't checked out his channel, I'd recommend it.

Personally I wasn't sure if winter hammock camping was for me, so I just modified an existing 0* sleeping bag to work as a PeaPod. I added an extender to give me some more room. Below is a link to a video by TZBrown over on Hammockforums where he shows adding an extender to an existing synthetic bag.

Finally if you aren't on Hammockforums, come check it out. There are often people that meet locally (called group hangs) and that is a great way to pick up ideas on winter hammocking.
