Spent last night in my conservatory !
Nope I didnt get kicked out of bed !
Decided to use the cold spell to try out my sleeping arrangements
I switched off the heating and it was about 8 deg C when I went to sleep.
Using
Blacks down Quantum 500 (rated 3 seasons)
Silk liner
standard box blow up air bed
Wearing, merino wool long johns, long sleeve north face tech shirt (underlayer), biking socks and a fleece hat for my head
I was comfortably warm on top of the bag but my underneath was feeling chilly. I lay for 10 minutes thinking that things would warm up under me. This wasnt the case and I grabbed a quilt (my standby heat lol) and placed it underneath me.
I did sleep but im sure I woke up a few times feeling slightly cold.
Normally on my trips (in warmer weather) I just sleep in the buff with just the bag and this is fine, apart from a couple of nights in lower Finland in June last year.
So Im looking for ideas so I can stay warm on colder nights, I have thought about getting a smaller bag and using both.
Throw any ideas at me... Im all ears
Cheers
Geordie
