Building this Van in to a Camper has given me a few issues I need to Address, 1) being because it is a van/MPV the sides and the Roof are not insulated and I don't fancy ripping off all the internal Trim panels and even more so that humungous Roof Lining, So I decided upon a new Sleeping Bag was in order, I already have some rated down to -50*c and below but due to their Mummy Shape they are not suited for Van use and everyday Living,
Over here the Carp Fisherman have the best fishing gear ever Made from their Bed Chairs to their Bivvies and their Sleeping bags are something else because they are designed to sleep out in the rain and Snow and heavy Frost etc and the list goes on, The one I bought is classed as a 3 or 5 Season Bag, The beauty of this one is it has an inner bag and an outer bag, the Outer is good enough for an Aussie Winter which is a 3 season bag and if it gets mega Cold you can add the inner 2 season bag which has a smooth finish on one side and fleece on the other and you can Zip it in so either side can be used or it can be used in milder weather,
Once the inner is Zipped in to the outer Bag you can either Sleep between the 2 layers and if it is too warm then you can sleep just below the outer layer or If it is down below -20/-30*c you can climb between the layer of outer lower layer and then you will have the Lower inner layer on top of you and the inner upper layer and on top of that you have the upper outer layer, So with the 3 layers on top it takes seconds for you to get warm and it feels like you have 5 or 6 doonas on top of you and you notice the weight which I don't mind because the top of the bag moulds it's self to your body,
But these Carp Fisherman have got it made with the gear that they can buy, Next on my list is one of their Bivvies ( Tents )
Heres the Bag I bought,
