Anyone do any backpacking on here?(sleeping bags)

Recommended Posts

Rei.com has one hell of a sale going on and I'm planning on getting a kit together only problem is Sleeping bags, I'm about as clueless as clueless could be and need some help picking one out.

So anyway, the thought is 1, quality of the bag 2, the size of it. because it's for backpacking I need it as small as possible without having to worry about freezing my nuts off. with that being said though most of my camping will happen in the summer time and temp will not be that big of a deal.

so here are my choices

1, http://www.rei.com/product/812622/alps-mountaineering-desert-pine-20-sleeping-bag-regular-special-buy

it seems like the winner, it's one of the smaller ones, it's cheaper and seems to have pretty good temp stats, but it's also a bit heavier

2, http://www.rei.com/product/780521/rei-zephyr-20-sleeping-bag-long-09-special-buy

the best all around bag, a good bit more expensive but it beats all other bags in every category

3, http://www.rei.com/product/815023/big-agnes-silver-creek-30-sleeping-bag-regular-special-buy

it's the Cheapest, the lower temp limit isn't as good and it packs bigger

Dependsd on when you are BPing. I use a 20 degree rated and never have a problem winter or summer. I wouldnt go lower than that unless you plan on doing alot of winter backpacking. Get you one that can fit in a compression bag and can be compressed small.

I also use a 20 degree bag. I hike a lot in the Smokies and temps can fall pretty quick up there.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
