I know there have been alot of posts on how low the temps have been and several folks yard testing, but I gotta post anotherone.
With GLOBAL Warming and all, we may never get these kinda coold temps again here in Texas (according to Al Gore)
I have been messing with these Army Surplus bags for about 2 weeks now.
Lastnight has been my best so far.
Temp low 16 degrees
no wind
beautiful clear sky
heavy frost
equipment:
Hennessy Expedition (NO TARP OR TOP COVER) WITH ZIPPER MOD
ECW Sleeping bag
2 pairs of socks again
insulated pants
t-shirt
flight jacket
and a knit watch cap.
2 fleece throws, folded in half together and used on the bottom iside of the bag
Thats it !!!!!
The entire night was awsome, not a cold spot, no CBS, and no sweating or condensation.
The bug net was covered with frost but that was it. I chose the Hennessy last night so I could sleep on my side. I have been using the Grand Trunk with similar success with the sleeping bag.
I prefer the ECW over the Modular bag because of the top center zipper and it is alittle wider.

I am confident now that I can take either of my hammocks, and the ECW on an overnight river trip and be warm and comfortable.
