    I've been looking for a small sleeping bag, and I dont think there is such a thing. I picked up a regular sized bag, my friend said it was the smallest one he'd ever seen, but the thing isnt going to fit in my pack. I figure I'll just strap the thing on there.

    Canvas Vs. Polyester etc. Sleeping Bags

    I prefer canvas. I have an old 1944 US Army sleeping bag. It's got an outside waterproof bag and a detachable lining. Dries pretty fast if it gets wet. Pretty warm as well. It is a tint tad bit heavier than my modern polyester one. What do you girls and guys prefer?
