As not a sleeping bag, layers of bedding to sleep in.

Ever used one? How did you do it?

Wabi,
High thread count Egyptian cotton sheets on a memory foam mattress with a down comforter suits me.
But I drink my bourbon with ginger ale so you should probably ask Mathman.

Back before sleeping bags were invented my Dad and Uncles thought a saddle blanket for a ground sheet covered w/ a wool army blanket and a WW2 poncho was great for elk hunting.

It wasn't but I faked that it was OK. I can still smell that horse blanket today.

Lots of my family and friends have them. The basic canvas cover, foam, and blankets. the canvas cover wraps around the mattress and blankets like a tortilla around the contents of a burrito. One blanket usually works until winter, then two or more.

Advantages are being comfy, warm, and dry.

Disadvantages are the bedroll is bulky and very heavy.

Have wanted to try one. Montana Canvas and a number of places make them in the US.

Got one that’s currently partially opened up/unrolled in the back seat of my dodge megacab.

Love it for a lot of reasons.

It is bulky and heavy. Truth is I have a heavy sleeping bag in my bedroll now.

Montana canvas and an outfit in Cody makes them.

I had a regular heavy canvas bedroll that was twice as long as a bed.You laid it out, put a few quilts in it pulled it up over you.I thought I was pretty fancy when I actually got a sleeping bag to put in it

Seems like a lot of weight and bulk.

Then again, most of my gear is double use: family car camping and backpacking.

Horse blanket pins to hold it together?

I had a nice one for a while.


Canvas and leather. This blonde little buckle bunny I was dating in college relieved me of it, along with my team jacket and a couple other items.

Ended up just using a tarp, a bag and a pad.

I recall the evening I laid out my little summer weight bag on my pad and pulled the tarp over me one late June, up in the mountains of the Lost River Range. Woke up to 2" of snow on my tarp the next morning. It ended up being 80 degrees in the afternoon. Gotta love the mountains. Fair bit of elk and bear sign in the meadow.

A couple wanna be cowboy friends use such. Great for a monster elk camp, but a pain in the ass due to volume on float trips.

Wabigoon,

These might help when you head out on that Rawhide cattle drive.
