Richard713 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Another tackle related question! Looking for a warm budget sleeping bag. Was out on the bank last week and used a mates JRC sleeping bag, and i was blooming freezing! Think temperatures got down to around 6 or 7 degrees. Any recommendations?

Ex army arctic bag 👌🏻 Good down to minus 5 and I recon if you put a peach skin throw over the top down even further......must take into account air movement under the bed too! Always best to put bits and pieces rucksacks/tackle bags etc under the bed it helps to keep things warm 😉 buzzbomb and B.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a foam packing piece inside the bedchair box, that is now in the centre section of my bedchair. Have a look at this little cutie http://www.wychwoodcarp.co.uk/products/bank-life/sleeping-bags/morpheus-extreme-4-sleeping-bag/H2401 Bearing in mind it is a tackle manufacturer, a decent price, not with other brands massive mark up. Something else I like is the temperature rating, it actually tells you a temperature rating it is suitable for, not just 4 season dayvid and B.C. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything sold by the tackle firms will always have a bit of mark up. The Tracker Big Snooze are fairly affordable at around £50. AD are doing a deal for this plus a Tracker bed chair cover for £60. The bag and the cover together gives you a few options depending on temperatures. http://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/trakker-big-snooze-cover-deal-2014 Pair of joggers and a hoodie with this bundle, will see you through most conditions. The bedchair cover makes a world of difference and keeps the damp off. As SPR mentioned, army bags are good but not mega cheap if you want a good one. You might want to try the camping shops. TBH, you will generally get what you pay for, as you've already discovered with your mates bag. One other thing you could do is get one of those foil lined camping mats for around a fiver and lay it under your bag. You can keep these permanently folded inside the bed chair. What great price , i have both of the above only difference is mine is the Plus wide sleeping bag, i fish all year and have never been cold not even when the lake froze over.

I like the looks of this Trakker deal. Fleece lining does sound warm. I'm also on the hunt for a bedchair. AD have a JRC one for £60, do you think it'll be any good? http://www.anglingdirect.co.uk/jrc-contact-lite-bedchair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't like that it's not fleece lined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
