    -50 F Sleeping Bag test at 26 F

    I just briefly tested my new Grizzly sleeping bag. Rated at -50F.

    I used only the bag in my blackbird - no tarp - blackbird net thrown back.

    I was wearing:
    Wolverine wool socks
    running pants
    hanes undershirt
    Starter jacket

    www.weather.com said the temperature is 26 degrees with 12 mph winds.

    No cold spots under me at all - my face was cold and that was it. I'm going to try an extended test - hopefully tomorrow night.
