[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3557850, member: 15054"] I just use the cheap 30 or 45 degree sleeping bags and have for decades. If you are camping in a tent you are way ahead of the game and a severe cold bag is not needed. I do like to make a bed of pine needles or other grasses and install my tent on top of that. Extra insulation on the ground and a bit comfy at the same time. Most of the time I will put up under a tree also Take a tarp or heavy duty lawn and leaf bag if you want to trap in all the heat and moisture. Place that over the bag when you go to sleep. I would not suggest that if you are a sweaty person. I prefer to pack my clothes that I will wear the next day at the bottom of the sleeping bag.. inside the bag. You can toss your other clothes and your jacket on top of the bag if it starts getting too cold for you. I seldom use the tarp. Only when sleeping outside in a hammock and rain is in the forecast do I use a tarp. I usually drape the tarp over a rope that runs a couple feet above the hammock. The tarp will get used on top of the bed of pine needles or grass though. Trench dug around the tent to allow rain to flow away from the tent if rain is in the forecast. Or just make a taller bed of grasses or pine needles. [/QUOTE]
