[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1597025, member: 95733"] FWIW, My friend has successfully camped for several weeks in temps in the low teens to single digits with a WC below zero by placing his mummy bag bag rated at zero in an rectangular bag rated also rated for 0* and he was beyond toasty warm. He as well as I also make a point to use closed cell foam pads when camping in cold temps as we were warned by friends from AK that air mattresses will cause you to loose heat. I'm not as cheap and bought a great bag rated at -20* below and I stumbled across a thick 100% fleece comforters like the ones used to sit on a couch that is essentially a fleece sleeping bag that I use inside of my bag and I've used it in trial camping at home in my yard in temps of 10 below zero and I stayed warm enough when combined with heavy ECWCS fleece tops, bottoms, wool socks and a good balaclava.
