That looks like a really good bag. I have a Wiggy's which is also a very good bag, but they are nylon. I would have preferred canvas.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

I don't know about canvas, I've heard good things about the Canadian Woods Artic Star.

Does bASS pro have RedHead making cheaper bags with no warranty for Cabelas to replace the good bags they sold? Usually all you find at Cabelas these days is cheap Chinese garbage. I'm not sure about all that, my canvas bag is at least 10 years old. It's not bad.

My old slumberjack would knock a tooth out of you if someone threw it. Did you have their 7n1 bag that was supposedly good to -40?

Here is your huckleberry. https://tetonsports.com/products/bridger-35-f-canvas-sleeping-bag-with-cotton-liningYou can buy a left zipper and right zipper to make a large bed. I have had a similar one of these for several years and it has worked very well. I had never had a zipper problem yet.

Good advise with the canvas cowboy bed roll.

There is also the Canvas Cutter bedroll system, sans sleeping bag I believe, but pricey!

We are looking for traditional heavy rectangular canvas sleeping bags rated for about -20° with cotton flannel lining and zippers with big teeth. We used to like Slumberjacks but they stopped making that style. We've had Alps Redwood canvas -25° bags for several years. But, the zippers have smaller teeth and pull apart and separate and recently broke altogether. We are finding that all of the companies have gone to smaller zippers. We use our bags for camping in the Western mountains and do not backpack. So, weight is not a concern. I am 6' 2" and my son 6' 6". So, we like big bags. My wife and I zip our bags together. So, that's a priority too. Any recommendations? Good old fashioned bags are hard to find! Thanks Have new zippers of your choice sewn into your existing bags??????????

I had two of the sportsmans bags and the zippers broke after not much use. I have a wenzel Shenandoa that is still going strong after years. Don't know what I'll do after it gives up the ghost. I use a ee quilt for backpacking. I may make a cowboy tarp and use that with the down quilt plus a larger synthetic quilt and some thick wool blankets
Wake up to this!

Teton Sports has what you need. The zippers are good and they have a xxl size. I have a few of them and have never had a problem. I can say we probably use them more than most and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Cabelas Outfitter XL -20 has been a good bag for me.
And I generally hate Cabelas gear. I haven’t used or needed one of those. Do they work good?Always used bag I was issued, slept with my wool blanket I was issued or had tent/camper with a heater.I’m in Northern California so my temps can be rather easy. I'm in NorCal also. I just hunt in schietty weather. Being from where I am, I am not the toughest about cold weather. The Cabelas bag has been roomy and warm for me. As a disclaimer, I'll say I only use it about 5 nights a year. Usually we can hunt out of the travel trailer when it is feasible.

I don’t have much to compare them to except the cheap sleeping bags you get at big5 etc…… This bag has served me well many times when necessary. Kept me dry and warm while not sleeping in a tent or camper. I’m talking some cold nights, to me anyway. Below freezing, 20-30f. I know, not cold, I’m a puhzzy. But those bags work.

Anything below 40 if F-ing cold as far as I'm concerned. I aint built for cold weather or humidity.

I have a -20 magnum 44 from Cabelas. Had it about 10 years now. Very comfortable and warm That might be a good suggestion. I forgot about those! Like I said, my son is 6' 6". How is the zipper on those? Big gnarly teeth? I'm seeing a lot of smooth small teeth ones that don't hold together. Yep, big heavy duty zipper I've had this bag for 12 years and love it. Just used it this past third season at 9,000 feet. Got to minus 5 one night and I stayed really warm with just a Mr. Buddy. Very comfortable and easy to zip. I have the 44 magnum -20 and have used it for 5 years. It is very durable and very warm. It was around 20 degrees this past weekend and I had no use for a heater. I bought my wife the Kodiak Canvas bag this year with the booster and she absolutely loved it. She kept warm all night, which I thought was an impossibility. The extras you get with the Kodiak bags are damn good too. Canvas storage bags come with each piece and they are over sized so there is no effort putting them back up.
