Also....down has a great tendency ta migrate all over the "sack" and create cold spots that shouldnt be there,and synthetic will still work if it gits damp where as down will not.... extra food fer thought.liked yer vid fer shure.
I'm sorry but that is 100% not true!!.... down has a much higher warmth to weight ratio then synthetic .... and that's why down is so much more expensive because it's just better all the way around the only downside to down is when it gets wet it doesn't hold body heat as well.... where synthetic can get wet and still retain body heat
Yes warmth to weight ratio down wins. But if they are both rated the same both will provide the same insulation, just the down one will be significantly lighter. So unfortunately you are incorrect here. 😕
@@LoneCrowAdventures but wait there's more!... You conveniently forgot to mention downtec..... Which by experience and statistics clearly solves the problem you originally stated in the op........ Checkmate😁👍
Somehow I feel compelled to give thumbs up even before I watch and that’s because your videos are well made, so far no disappointment here. That being said, I have both types of bags because I’m a camping junkie and been doing it for 40+ years. I car/tent camp, another issue I’ve noticed in my down feather bag is that it does great in the beginning but if you’re camping for 2-3 weeks at a time the back starts to get compressed and you have to fluff every 3-4 days. Storing is an issue too, nowadays there are good synthetic bags you can store inside their own bag, some even compressed and no damage will ocurre unlike down which takes half your closet, new advanced technology has made many not as bulky, smaller than a regular pillow 19 F degrees and lower, Snugpack is a perfect example which I own a couple for different climates and I can even stuff my 40 F one inside my 19F one with comfort making it even hotter, just prepare to unzip 2 zippers if you have to go to the bathroom at night which is no big deal for me. Thanks again for the video.
I appreciate the feedback. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that down smells pretty awful (at least to me), especially on hot humid nights. I also do hate that I have an entire closet dedicated to hanging quilts and sleeping bags of various temperature ratings. Thanks for the feedback 😀
Great video, but one caveat: not all sleeping bags (or quilts) with the same temperature rating are truly the same warmth. The industry is getting better with 3 standard temperature zones: Comfort (or women's Limit), Limit (the lowest temp most men would be ok with), Extreme (you probably won't die from hypothermia provided the bag stays dry, but you probably won't get any sleep either). But it's up to the bag's manufacturer on which rating zone they use in describing the bag and not all mention which zone it is. Your best bet is to go online and research reviews, videos and comments about any particular bag to see what other people say.
This is true. I have a longer version of this video and had thought about explaining the comfort which is the female limit and decided to leave that part out since 85 percent of my viewers are guys. I try to buy iso rated sleeping bags. I think think there is another rating system as well but I'm not familiar with that one.
No I don't do fishing gear and am not a very competent fisherwoman. Although I do like some bobber panfish action off the dock with cold cooler at my side! Thanks for the question!
Simple and to the point. Exactly what I look for in a video.
Thanks so much!

Yep. And down needs to be stored uncompressed or it clumps up!

Thank you that has cleared up some misconceptions about down sleeping bags.
I'm glad I could help
Mostly correct, not entirely though.

@@LoneCrowAdventures i know the feeling, I gave my son 3 hand me down sleeping bags, now storing is his problem lmao.

I learned some things, Samantha. Nice video, and I particularly the editing showing you in various camping/hiking situations.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback on the new editing style.
You ever do any fishing gear updates I love your show keep up the good work God bless.
