- Taking a look at my trusted MSS sleep system. I've been using the MSS system for over thirty years. It's always come through for me. I love being able to adapt it to whatever weather conditions i'm entering into. During the summer i'll use just the GORE-TEX Bivy. In the dead of winter i use the complete system; Patrol bag, Intermediate bag the Bivy and my layered clothing to stay snug as a bug down into the negative temperatures.
The PATROL bag is rated to 50 degrees. The INTERMEDIATE is rated to -10. Both bags plus the BIVY are rated to -30...if you have the proper layered clothing on. AS of this writing you can pick them up in grade A condition for around $175 at MIDWAusa, sportsmansguide and similar.
The system is heavy coming in at around 9 lbs. A good night's sleep is golden. The MSS is worth its weight in gold.

you have got to have the most underrated (at the time of this comment) channel on youtube in this genre. awesome stuff and great detail.
Appreciate you🤙🤙🤙
Former 50 of 74 years a hobo. Great video again. I could rarely afford that much for a sleeping system but a few times bought a used bivy bag from a thrift store. I had a great free dumpster score when looking for cans a few years back. A bivy bag with a medium mummy bag inside. The sleeping bag part was not military but had snaps that fit the military bivy. There were a couple of very small holes in the bivy bag so someone tossed them both. Easy enough to patch. Full system said rated to 30 below. I figure the bivy and bag is good to 30 above anyway. I still have them in my road ready pack . I learned even as a young hobo in my teens having a roof over your head can change in a heartbeat.
I carry antibiotic ointment. It is antibiotic, lube, and fire starter.
Very smart🤙👍👍

I’ve used the intermediate bag down to -6F on its own. You definitely need a well insulated mat under you. But it handles the cold very well for a $99 sleeping bag.
My MSS is old and has the old green intermediate bag. Do you know if the newer black bags are lighter and warmer like I heard somewhere a while back? Debating on whether or not it's worth shelling out $80 more for. Good tips, btw.🤙
I have both. No difference I’ve ever noticed 🤙🤙🤙
@@hangtough503Thanks, man. Saved me some money.🤙
