During my adult life I have spent more nights outdoors than in.

I have served as an outdoor guide, educator, conservationist, researcher, crew leader and enthusiast from the bear-chomps of Alaska to the rock-falls of canyon country.

Currently working at a remote research station deep in the rain forest of Borneo studying primate ecology.

I would argue the same goes for any bag... even ones with ratings.

comment Thermal rating on vintage sleeping bags
I've never seen a pounds of fill rating on a bag - but often a degree rating. Is this a European thing?

comment Thermal rating on vintage sleeping bags
Heck - some would argue sleeping in a bag is the only way to determine the actual insulating ability of bags with a rating.

comment Does whiskey help keep you warm in winter?
Thanks for the answer, but for me to accept it, we need the critical info in-house (and not dependent on links (which die)). Also, "drinking" and "getting drunk" are not synonymous...
