Cold Test

Okay, so the temperature dropped to the new record low of 7 degrees last night.  What better time to test my 0 degree sleeping bag?  I decided that I would pitch my tent on my screened-in back porch and then sleep in the tent.  The temperature was 15 while putting up the tent, then once I got in my sleeping bag I was really warm.  If I had stuffed some clothes in the pillow sack I would have been extra comfy.  For this test I did not use any thermal clothing.  So now that I have tested the new sleeping bag and found it to be very roomy (much better than the other mummy bag), cozy, and warm. I am now ready to continue on the Pinhoti Trail.  I will plan on hiking a couple of days next week then post again.
