I'm not going to bother buying a new dedicated winter sleeping bag, going on advice from BPL and Roger Caffin and others here.
I am going to make that Extra Large overquilt.
If I choose the right shell fabrics and the correct weight of insulation I think I could be comforatable right down to -45C using good technique and clothng. Saving that $1000- would pay for a newer, lighter, down parka more suitable as a midlayer as a part of a LW extreme cold system.
Alternatively I could simply remove half of the insulating down in the one I have. I rather like the idea of buying something more modern tho, if I can find one cut large enough to fit me
Ve are too soon old und too late schmart
