1st elk hunt. Sleeping bag

[Tsarbomba]

Going on first elk hunt this year, and need a sleeping bag that will keep me warm enough in sept. All the bags I have are more or less 40 degree bags. Id like to stay around the $350 mark if i can help it.

I always try and look through Active Junky for any outdoor purchases. Look through moose jaw and find a bag you like. 10 percent back through active junky and 10 percent back in Moose Jaw points.

Base camp or packing in? You can get a really nice camp bag for a lot less if you are not worried about packing it somewhere.

Keep an eye on the classifieds for a Kifaru 20* bag. Usually go for $325-$350.

As other have said, keep an eye out for a Kifaru bag or go through Active Junky to Sierra TP and get a bag from them. A lot of good options and well within your budget.

Dont discount the quilt option. Research that. It’s like floorless shelters: gotta wrap your head around the concept, but you shed half the weight and it straps down to the pad and vents easily without the clostrophobic feeling—you can spread out.
$200 will get you a 0-20F down or synthetic...I have 30F down enlightened equipment and 0F viam apex

I cant see a kifaru bag being worth what they charge. You can get lighter and warmer for the same money or even less. I like quilts a lot but some people dont. Make sure you test it before you take it on the trip if you decide to get one.

Was looking at RAB. I didn’t realize they make sleeping bags. But seems a good bang for the buck from specs. Was looking at the Rab Neutrino Pro, but seems theres very little reviews or info on their sleeping bags.

Check out outdoors vitals summit bags. I've really liked mine and they have a bunch of great reviews.
