  • I can't stop watching this video. I watch it at least twice a day. AHH I'M GETTING HOT IN HERE UGGHHAAHA

  • If you are a big guy, finding a sleeping bag sucks. They don't really make these things to go over wide shoulders.

  • @zerk54 Thanks for the reply, sounds interesting. I have a lightweight Bivy and sometimes I take that with a polyester sheet on warmer summer outings. I have a Marmot Trestles 20 sleeping bag, but the main problem for me is the height issue. At 6'4", which isnt really that tall I find it hard to fit. I also toss and turn in my sleep which is also an issue. Take care.

  • @beactivelife I started using a wool blanket and poncho liner. It's working pretty well. Being big means big sleeping bag. Takes a lot of space in a pack.

  • @zerk54 Agreed, I have yet to find one that I like and I am not even a "Big Guy". Im just tall with wide shoulders.

  • SHEATH!!!

  • I like to get in the bag with her lol hot huh.

  • leave it to a woman to be a pad expert+_+

  • I'd like to get inside her bag....

  • But baby, theres not enough room for you,...... and I.

  • Work that zipper baby!!
