  • 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.

    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’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.🤙
