    Need recommendation for POD sleeping bag

    I'm a big Steep and Cheap guy. Are any of the sleeping bags on their site suitable for a POD system? I'm not sure what to look for or how big it needs to be. I have a WB XLC. Any help would be awesome.

    Thanks

    I use a pod system for deep winter camping. Here are all my videos on it.....https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...h6OeCVQY1WGnXG
    Many ways to do it. My zipper runs to the end of my bag so I go that way. Some folks mod a hole at the end of their bags to slip the hammock through.
    Carry forth.

    I've used a square foot mummy bag as a pod. The square end allows for not of a diagonal lay for me but there's always a little extra left over. I would pile the extra over my feet for added warmth.

    I used an old Ozark Trail cocoon 250, which is a mummy bag as a pod system by simply cutting a hole in the foot box and putting a zipper in. it's a little tight but still comfortable and works well.
    By all means, let's argue about whether or not a hammock will hurt a tree. All the while ignoring the fact that there is an island of garbage the size of Texas floating in the Pacific ocean. Or how about the fact that over 75% of the world's nuclear reactors are leaking...

    "Baffled Grid Design:The baffled grid design locks the down into individual compartments to avoid cold spots!" Gotta love marketing!! Sounds, and looks, like it's sewn thru. Definitely not eliminating cold spots!!

    Strange that they only list compressed size not length and width of the open bag??

    According to the manufacturer, the 30* one is sewn-through, the 20* one is baffled.
    Size is 76" long by 63" wide, opened. 76" long by 31.5" wide when used as a bag.
