Newspaper...seriously....buy the local rag or two if its a thin one....put equal amounts of newsprint beneath you as above you...you will not believe how warm you can be.

Don't believe me...put a newspaper on your lap and wait 5 min...feel how warm your lap gets?..Now, go out to your rugby match or hockey game and sit on a newspaper...you're arse never gets cold...and.....

the next morning you can wipe your ass with it and start a fire as well....then burn it of course and you don't have to pack it!

Always looked for the bed of pine needles, and burning shit keeps the mozzies away too!

That's a good thing here right now, as encephalitis has been on the increase with the recent floods .

I've got a Kathmandu 600g goose down bag that I carted around Cambodia and Vietnam for two months. Used it twice.

I took it out a couple of weeks back... ended up getting out of it and just using the silk liner. My wife took it on a NZ south island walk at Christmas... and took a thermal liner (tiny thing) that gives a lot more warmth.... so now its small, three parts and covers a wide range of temps.

Size "standard".... half yer luck. My first sleeping bag, I busted out the bottom and stitched (OK, Mum stitched) some old blanket on as an extension, so that my legs could stretch out.

You could have stitched 2 standards end to end , it might have been long enuff .
