I just bought a NEMO SONIC rated tp -29C. It’s on it’s way to my house right now.
How can I counteract the cold? By dressing more warm (thermals) layers on my body or a sleeping bag for lower temperatures?.
Hardcore video indeed

I prefer The Sleeping Bag under Cabela’s. Very Good!
Sleeping Bags at Academy.
Good!
Sleeping Bags at Walmart.
Good!
They will compare all Sleeping Bags. Good Luck!
The Best Choice: just put the Wool Blanket in your Sleeping Bag. Look, The Wool is King.
The US Military prefer the Wool Coats. You see…It is up to you all. Your own decision!
You will know. Okay! Have a great day!

Honest!

An opinion of the truth of the sleeping bags😉 with a link to buy the sleeping bags 🤣🤣
Do you understand the difference between F° and C°¿? 😂
I don’t trust "high end" bags that aren’t from feathered friends or western mountaineering, or valandre. I’ve had my widgeon (-10F) down to 10F before I had to put on more layers than just socks, compression shirt, and compression shorts. That said, I wouldn’t recommend those kinds of bags unless you REGULARLY camp in very cold weather.
One months rent? Can’t get anything less than 1500 where I live 😢
where are you living that rent is only 800 a month!? I hate my country right now
One month rent where?
I love the ozark trail sleeping bag. I’ve used it to the extremes and it hasn’t let me down. The shakeable body warmers do wonders when you use your bag in colder than designated temps
The best thing to do is to have a 15°C confort sleeping bag and adding it a fleece blanket inside if it’s cold outside. This way you will be able to sleep by warm and cold temperature.
Tested and approuved by myself.
Question on the boots:
How’s the arch support? I know everyone is different, but would someone with some plantar issues need $60 inserts?
Loved the video. Just one question, where I live it gets down to -40C, where can i get affordable sleeping bag that can keep me warm even in -40C.
I have the Ozark trail 30° mummy bag..its not bad with stacking but I do suggest using with an inflatable and pad…is there a budget tent video?
I’ve had the boots… You might get a year out of them if you wear them everyday. To be fair, I get the same amount of time out of my Columbia boots* I live in MT
Never would have thought that the OT bag has an ISO rating. Good on them. Honestly, if you can keep it dry and you aren’t a gram weenie, why not?
No way that Ozark junk bag is keeping anyone warm at 10’, that’s laughable I have years of back country camping and I wouldn’t even trust that thing at 32’ Unless you are literally a summer camper only. Spend the money on a high-quality bag, it’s absolutely worth it and if you take care of them, they last 20 plus years. Buy junk, get junk.
Oooh yeah. I remember my very first backpacking trip, I made the CRITICAL mistake of choosing an ozark trail 30 degree bag. I was unknowledgeable at the time and had zero idea what that number meant. I knew we were going to be trekking through 30-40 degree night conditions; and wooo boy was i FREEZING. I was literally warmer wearing my winter clothing gear than I was in that bag. Made the switch to more reliable and upfront bags that actively list the comfort rating, and never looked back.
All dat kislux bags sssssoooooooo gorgeous
I don’t miss a day a week kislux This show..
I have always purchased good quality sleep systems. I always used Western Mountaineering bags and I have never been disappointed. I then went down the UL rabbit hole and purchased a 20 quilt from Zpacks and again I have been very happy. I started doing long distance thru hikes with my dog and I tried to cheap out. That did not work and she ended up in my quilt a couple of times. I then let her use my 20 degree WM sleeping bag and she was very happy but it was taking up to much room in my back. I ordered multiple quilts on line and sent them all back. I finally purchased her a quilt from Enlightened Equipment in the 950 down and all I say is you get what you pay for. I went with EE over Zpacks because Zpacks only offers the 7D fabric and she is a dog with big nails. You really can’t go wrong with either company. Cry once.
Growing up hunting/hiking in the Cascades in every season and weather condition, Very few people actual need such a low temperature bag. But this is still invaluable information to have. Don’t let Companies trick you
Please make the music even louder. I can barely still hear you
The truth you find out when you camp in very cold, very damp or very hot weather. Mostly buy cheap regret later still holds. While of course not all pricing is always justified.
Tourists where I live sometimes die because they went for the cheap and/or too lightweight gear … including tent and sleeping bag.
One month’s rent? lol I haven’t paid $800 for rent since the 1980s.
Hey, that cheap Walmart one is my winter bag. It’s perfect for me, because the coldest I’ve camped in is the high 20s
Maybe a dumb question, but does anyone just double-up on cheap bag? Could you buy two bags with 12-degree ratings, use them with one nested inside the other, and then obviously be warmer on a per-dollar basis? This would also have the flexibility of giving you the option to just use one for warmer temps.
Dooooood I wanted to listen and learn but the background/foreground music distracts completely! Aaaaagghhh thx for sharing anyway. I did a like but on to next
Get yourself a Rab sleeping bag.
I once had, for 2 days, a 1/2 zipper Mountain Hardware "30 F." down bag. At home it appeared to have not nearly enough loft. Underwhelmed I promptly took it back to REI, UNPACKED. I laid it out on their "bag bench" and they agreed, it was not looking like any other 30 F. bag they had.
SO… I got a Western Mountaineering 30 F. Megalite, a bag with more girth and a LOT more loft than the MH. It kept me warm on a 24 F. night but I had to clinch the face down to a blowhole. In those days WM would, for a mere $45., OVERFILL their bags . (They no longer offer this service.) So now I have a COMFORTABLE 20 F. bag by my own experience.
AND, in my own experience, wearing a light Eddie Bauer down jacket and a pair of Nature Hike down pants, I can use that bag to 0 F. COMFORTABLY. The extra girth the Megalite means those down clothes easily fit in the bag. WM just makes the best down bags on the planet – well WM and Feathered Friends.
One month rent for $800, that cant even get you a space under the stairs in London 😂.
5’7 lbs is heavy thats where price goes off in thr lighter ones
Sir very nice how much

When you started talking about the boots, I couldn’t help but have a laugh.
I worked in a camping store for a while, and I sold a lot of boots.
The exact wording you used is what I would say to sell boots, even the moisture vapour permeation ‘MVP’ and how the membrane works.
I see they have vibram soles too?
I’ll give them a shot, my Salomons are a bit too much boot at times.
HEY kislux I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day <3
Nothing like my WWF Bret Hart sleeping bag
you guys are sleeping in bags? 🤔
I have that Nemo sleeping bag and it’s really, really nice. I have been comfortable down to 10*F. If you can afford it, it’s worth the price. I was able to get a great deal on it, otherwise, I may not have bought it. The vents along the abdomen are a great idea to improve the upper comfort rating of the bag.
600 one months rent bro multipily by four
is this video made for americans who dont know anything?
lmao this only applies to English speakers
secular and civilized people are going to avoid overpriced occidental websites, and buy the exact same item/materials for 1/5th the cost from the mainland 😂
Appreciate the highlight of the budget gear. I use Ozark Trail gear…if You know how to repair or even reinforce gear (Stack Ratings Silicone seal and reinforce their sewing patterns and understand weigh capacity’s… Ozark trail is suddenly impressive and insanely better value than most budget brands (Other than Tenton)
01:14 lol @ the idea you can pay a month of rent for $800, you’d need a buddy to chip in the other $800/mo for an unheated garage where i live
3.02 confort cheap sleeping bag 10C° degrees and the guy is trying to sell you the idea that is F°😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤ what a blind person or sca….person, i still cant understand what happen n this video, how could a channel just about gear to nature dont KNOW ABOUT EUROPEAN GEAR IN CELSIUS, AND AMERICAN OR ENGLAND GEAR BEING IN F…, EVEN IF YOU BUY ANYWHERE YOU SEE C° OR F°, NEMO SLEEPING BAG IS HOWING THE CONVERSITION 0° F EQUAL TO(NEGATIVE -18C° )…1.14 MINUTES and 3.02 minutes on the video say everything about the information on this channel and guy, so if you want to drink information from a rusted information channel as here😂😂😂 you continue, BUT YOU CAN DIE IN THE FUTURE ITH YOUR F° AND C° NON CONVERTABLE KNOWLEGE!😂❤
I’ve used that Ozark 10F bag at 4F when combined with gtx bivy. A mylar blanket over the top of gtx adds a noticeable heat increase. It’s the system.
I thought you kept saying Nortabay for those boots. Displaying what the real word was would be smart advertising.
My Walmart 15$ bag 32F just fine ❤
I bought an ozark and went out at 0 degrees…I kept a fire going all night and slept for 1 hour intervals between waking up to put wood on fire. Great camping trip learned a lot
