Also, if anyone wants one Walmart also has them in-store for $69 like Amazon.

As
@ gfxcruncher
said you should be fine inside your truck without a propane heater. If you get too cold you can start the truck and blast the heater.

Yeah, there's that too.
One other thing, then I'll shut up (and PACK  )
I keep my seat behind the drivers seat unfolded and then in the am shimmy there while in the bag and fire up the truck and defroster (since you have to clear the condensation out anyways) then I can change clothes in a warm truck.

On the winter trip (I think it was low 20's), I had 2 comforters in addition to what's listed and it was way too hot, I was a sweaty mess in the am,
I'm going to throw one comforter in this time just in case... YMMV. |
Thanks, I have tested my 0 degree bag down to the low 20s before without issue, but that was 10 years ago. I also went on a trip around New Years with the 15 degree bag (because I forgot the other one...) and was good down to the teens then. If it is terrible Thurs. night I'll stop at Walmart when we go to lunch Friday and grab a heater.
See you all tomorrow! Gotta get home and finish packing/install some final parts..

Don’t know how I missed this thread 🤷*♂️🤦*♂️
Although, our biggest commercial client is opening two new locations in the next 2 weeks and has us running all over the place just about every day.
Hopefully we can catch the next trip. Have fun and take TONS of pics!!

I've slept in the back in as low as 18 deg. in the snow with no problems.
Get a blanket or some of your clothes and stuff them around you in the sleeping bag - especially around your feet(old camping trick). You will be warm!
