Staying Warm in a Sleeping Bag

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Richard Fields. In this clip we're going to talk about how to stay warm in your sleeping bag. Of course, zipping it up all the way is, number one. Your bag needs to be on a, a good quality pad to insulate you from the ground, where you're going to loose most of your heat. Having done that, it's a good idea if you have some kind of long underwear, polypropylene or wool, top and bottom. That will increase the warmth of the bag quite a bit. On really cold nights, you zip that bag up all the way to where the only thing showing is your face, and if that's still not enough, you can put on a wool or a fleece cap. This will increase the range of your bag quite a bit. In a more desperate situation where you're still not warm, additional socks, and, and if necessary, even take something like, like a day pack and put the, the bottom of your sleeping bag, put your feet inside of the day pack. You could even go so far as to wrap additional warm clothing around your feet. That will fill up the air space in the bag, as well as insulate your feet. And, that's how to stay warm in a sleeping bag. Have a good trip."
