[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 194005, member: 3682"] A lot depends on your budget to determine how far you wish to go. If your out in the VIC goldfields mid winter, you should have at least a -2 rated bag as a minimum.....preferably -5 rated or better! MOST importantly, make sure its a hooded bag to cover your scone......34% of your body heat is lost through your uncovered head, especially while you sleep. I use a hooded, -6 rated 'Hotham' snow bag and in mid winter with temps below zero, I sleep like a baby! As peacekeeper says, its very important to insulate from the ground also. Cheers ;) [/QUOTE]
