Grand Trunk "pod" bag/insulation
I noticed with interest that at the current winter Outdoor Recreation trade show that Grand Trunk announced a sleeping bag/hammock accessory that is configured to work like a pod. The photo I saw portrayed a 32 degree bag that was 88 inches long, with openings at the head and foot to allow for the hammock suspension to pass through.

Traveling Light with Grand Trunk
Here It Is, The Only Solo Set-Up I will use. Serious Kudo's to the pro's at GT for considering something Out of the Box and Making it a Reality. Warm and Ultra Comfy, compressible and So Easy to Set up and Break Down. I seriously couldn't be more impressed by the end result and the Great Nights Sleep I get in My Nano 7.

Top Zipper Vs. Double Sided 2-way zipper
The Ease of Entry would benefit from just a one way ONTOP zipper, and it was considered...
But, i think that the idea for this bag was to make it just as Useable to a ground camper or tent goer and to Key in on versatility and Comfort.
We Liked the double sided 2-way zipper for a few good reasons.
1) YOu can Tuck the Lid or "Tongue" into the Footbox when you have the Sleeping bag suspended but do not want to cover up.
2) You can Vent from the sides and still be covered.
3) You can Hang your Legs out!!
And Lastly, You can Exit your Sleeping bag With the quickness if you need too, Just Push on the Lid and it tears away with out hassle..
What are your thoughts?
