Summary: Extreme Conditions Survival Sleeping Bag
Comment: We are close to the time of a National Emergency and everyone needs to heed the Boy Scout Motto, "Be Prepared." I am a real Geographic North Pole Explorer and in 2008 I have ten years of expedition experience. This bag is a super nice bag that is very similiar to the bag I use on the North Pole. My bag is stored in Longyerbyen Norway. The big advantage of this bag is that it has a tripple layer with one waterproof layer. While it is not warm enough to use on the pole, it is fantastic for anyone traveling or trying to survive in any condition in the United States. The tripple layer is very important for multi seasonal use as you can use the warmth level to fit your environment. You can also use the bag as an emergency bag that can keep two people warm if the situation exhist. The bag is constructed to be very warm when you need warmth. As a North Pole Expedition Leader, the way to calculate the true warmth of bag that you need, you put on all the clothes that you think would be necessary for the worst conditions that you will expect, and then double it. This is a super important rule, a rule that will make the difference between survival or not surviving. Do not skimp on your equipment. Any bag that I have ever seen of this quality will cost you four or five hundred dollars, so the price of the bag is fantastically and unblievelably low. Hard times are coming and you better be prepaired. I am a survival expert with over forty years of back country experience all the way from the Geographic North Pole, to Siberia to the High Sierras to the Jungles in Southeast Asia. Safety first, survival first, price is secondary, but this one is super affordable. C. Jeff Dyrek, North Pole Expedition Guide and Expedition Leader. C. Jeff Dyrek. Don't get caught out in the cold. Type this into a search engine, "C. Jeff Dyrek north pole" and you will see that I'm telling the truth.

Summary: The best of the best!!!
Comment: I was in 10th Special Forces for over a decade and used this system from the Alps to the Arctic circle in Norway for a month at a time. It is the best system you can possibly own, and this price is absolutely unbeatable. Even the bivy sack with is made of a lightweight and waterproofed nylon is perfect. I had the gortex version in my ECWS issue in SF and although an excellent piece of gear, it weighs about three times as much. The rest of the system, the two bags (patrol and intermediate) make for the perfect combo. You can bring what you need from 50 degrees with just the shell and a poncho liner, to freezing with the bivy sack and patrol bag, down to 10 below with the intermediate and minus 50 if you use all three!
I've seen this combo elsewhere with the gortex cover going for almost $400. Don't do it! You don't need it, trust me. The water resistant one that comes with this one works EXACTLY the same, is lighter and will do the job. Unless you plan on submerging your sleeping bag, this one is all you will ever need. At most sleeping bags get a little wet if water gets underneath you when you're sleeping, and this is more than ample to protect you like that. I don't know anyone who would sleep under the stars in a downpour, and that's the only reason to go for a heavier bivy bag.
As for the rest of the combo, it is lightweight and well made. It will last you for years and years even with regular and hard core use, and at this price you can buy a new one every year if you feel like it.
Get this one. Stop shopping and don't even think about any of those name brand fufu bags. All you'll do is regret that you didn't listen to me and GET THIS ONE! Trust me. It gets this green berets two thumbs up! I'm still in Special Forces and I bought this one just for camping in the Olympics. Cold, wet and as miserable as mountains can get below th arctic circle. This bag is all I need.
