I think I need another....

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

... sleeping bag

He's going to kill me if I suggest it, but 3 doesn't seem to be the right number really.

I've got the 400 weight one which is summer use for someone like me who needs to be warmer at night, but with the forecast for this weekend and overnight temps down into single figures and the fact that I have already baled on the lightweight quilt on the bed and put the medium weight one back on, leave me thinking I shall have to carry the 800 weight one but that seems a touch overkill because even I can cope with that one in -10C and it is not like we are going to Scotland this year in September... (last year it snowed on the tops in Glencoe whilst we were there!)

So I have a 400, 800 & 1100 weight (down filled) sleeping bags and none seem to be the right choice for this weekend. How do I sell the idea of needing a 600 weight one as well?

Wait till you hit the menopause.....you will only need a 200 weight one. Lol

Take the 800 and stick a leg out - duvet style

I've been on a diet to lose weight off the bike, and now end up needing to take the warmer sleeping bag... shall probably have to take the 800 weight, else I am going to end up taking the 40 weight and my thermals - somehow that seems wrong for August and Shropshire!

Pull some of the filling out of the 800.

Buy a 600 and say you got it in the sale ... Inc was a free bottle of beer/wine
Not that I have ever Tried this ... But I does work

We have ones that were over £600 new 20 years ago (Rab 1100 premier bags designed to go down to -40C). They are amazing bags. Have slept in them in the UK down to -20C waking with a layer of ice over the top of them and also coating the inside of the tent, which looked stunning and we were wonderfully warm and not very inclined to get out of them

3 years ago, he accidentally killed my neutrino 800 bag when he left it unattended in a tumble drier that turned out to be faulty! (despite being on the cold setting, it went up in smoke literally and we had a very cold night the next night trying to share 1 sleeping bag between the 2 of us... it does not work when they are mummy shaped bags!)...

I see .. Your hardened campers - 20C
Must be hard to wake up knowing you have to get up and out of the bags in that Temperature
Hats off to you Though for sleeping out doors in a - Temperature...

Thats a good bag, I was tempted by the it's predecessor the Alpine 600 a couple of years back but couldnt justify the spend. Got a pipedream 400 instead for summer, still too hot as i run like a furnace.

yep - couple of times now for over a week. Tis wonderful, but it is a really good idea to get the tent pegs in the ground prior to the freeze arriving...

......long johns and a Helly top? Then you can use your 400 one

I had thought about it but... thermals in August something is just WRONG with that concept and I'm not even going north!

The 400 and some blankets. Then you can pretend you don't need thermals
