It isn't wool! Such sacrilege in the realm bushcraft!
How dare you preach such filth and take the flock astray!!!!
Oh wait......
That's right, if it works why not?
All joking aside it is my understanding that Fesca aren't rip off bags but actual licensed products. I have a full set of the British bags in large size that arrived brand new and like them quit a lot.
Of course, if I listed all the various sleeping bags that I have hoarded over the years, I would be writing a novel!
Pretty much got it all at this point, German tanker bags that turn into coats?
Got both sizes.
US army wool sleeping bag from the 1940s with canvas cover?
Got it.
Greek army version of said bag?
Got it.
Canadian army sleep system in goose down?
Yup.
USGI in woodland?
Yes sir.
M1949 US mountain bag?
Well, it needs a zipper repair but yes.
Oh dear.....I may have a hoarding problem....there are even more I think somewhere....
@@turtlewolfpack6061 lol, I had the tanker bag, used to pretend I was a dinosaur in it when I was drunk
@RedBranchBushcraft hahaha! It isn't a bad bag even though it is often miss labeled as a sniper bag. Neat to use sometimes but pretty rare these days, especially in decent condition.
that's true - the Defense-line is NATO-standard and Fesca produces acc. these standards. It's just: the army-surplus-material is well used, thus not so good on insulation anymore than if you buy a new Defense 4 (whose material isn't compressed-to-the-end, so to speak)
Edit: btw Fesca also builds in nice additions: the british "Fescas" have a little bag for items that shouldn't get cold built into the sleepingbag, sadly the dutch-version doesn't have that.
Also: in your list, the old swiss sleepingbag (4-season) is missing, as is the austrian one (they had a carinthia "before the defense-line")
@turtlewolfpack6061 nice
@michaelkeller5008 I don't have those bags
The best bushcraft sleeping bag is the one you own. I bought the British Army one a few years ago for £32 pretty much brand new. It’s massive and heavy but not too bad if you use a good roll down dry bag. If its winter I can add a fleece sleeping bag I bought in 1997 and still works fine. In bushcraft I am around wet, muddy conditions, thorns and fires. At £32 I don’t worry about it, hard to justify paying £100’s for something almost identical.
Excellent stuff
Interesting Question,,, which is the best Bushcraft sleeping bag,,,? If you’re talking about cold weather 30* to -20* degrees,,, bushcraft, military or high end backpacking,,,, One thing you’ll need is a thick air mattress. The last sleeping bag I purchased was a Western Mountaineering bag. 15 years ago it was $900. +,,,, now ,,, $1200. - $1400.
Great Video ,,,,👍
Wow, some money
still thinking of getting me the old swiss military-sleeping-bag, no bad experience, not very expensive, but i already have the nato-system and not that much need of it... still. memorys and "can't miss the opportunity"
(also - if you call bruno, just throw the stick, Wooly!!)
edit: the hell with it, just ordered it. at worst, i can make a comparison-video ;) you defenetly got a bad influence on me, Wooly!!
Lol, I'm a bad influence on myself
Carinthia's Survival One for the winter.
Carinthia's Defence 1 for the summer.
Carinthia's Defence 4 for most other seasons.
Great choice
I use the British army sleep system in all weathers inside a Wynnchester Adventure bedroll. Bomb proof in all weathers (Shetland in winter!) I agree totally with your review. The bedroll is expensive but worth every penny. I got mine off EBay and someone had only used it once or twice 🥴 for £200. So Bargains are out there. 👍👍
I've one, cost me 100 quid !! Love it, I'll never sell it, best bushcraft bivvy on the way
The real host has arrived. Bruno is the host Wooly is just the english speaking sidekick.
Lol
Wooly, "Bruno, Bruno, whistle, whistle, whistle"
Bruno arrives,
Wooly "get off my nice sleeping bags" 😂
@irvsstella lol, 8 was thinking the same
❤️🐶
@nomadmarauder-dw9re lol
The best bag is always the one you don’t have yet…
Lol
👍👍👍 .. great advice .. your choice seems to be the way to go 😊.
Yep, back in 1968, in sub-freezing temps (and above too 🙄), I absolutely froze in my Army Sleeping Bag out at 'De Brug', our Military Combat Training Area.
For me, the 'Best' Sleeping Bag(s) are those that I currently have .. being the 'best' that I could afford at the time 😏. They have, and continue to serve me well.
'Down'. I have a Salewa Mummy Down Bag that is awesome .. but .. any inkling of exposure to 'wet', it stays at home. The synthetic bags then come out.
Rectangular 😳 full zip synthetic 'hollow fibre' bags .. the 'Back Packer Benedorms' .. the 'Lite and the 'Three Seasons' (two sets of each .. they can be zipped together if extra space is needed .. you know what I mean 😏) and an ultra-light Mummy Summer Bag with a Silk Fibre Fill that can be compressed down to almost nothing.
In real cold, the Silk Fill Bag used, together with a synthetic Bag Inner Liner (or the inner sewn by the Wife from a Flannel Winter Sheet) .. that inside the Benedorm Three Seasons .. 👍👍👍.
As always Wally, a good post .. thanks. Take care ..
Excellent stuff buddy, cheers
@@RedBranchBushcraft 👍.
We’ll talk about timely, I’ve been for the last couple of day on a quest for this very thing.
Hope I helped
Yes mate, so far it’s a toss up between three, all Defence 4 based bags, British,Dutch, and Carinthias own.
@Mugwumps107 go carinthia if you can afford it
@@RedBranchBushcraft Worth the extra ay Diarmuid mate.
@Mugwumps107 yep
I have a carinthia defence 4 that I brought from a charity shop along with a load of other top end camping stuff that all looked unused. I paid £ 4.50 for it 🎉
@@TonyStares jeepers
@@RedBranchBushcraft init
@TonyStares some score that
Insane.
Want to hear something even more crazy?
My ex-wfe gave away my Italian Army wool blanket, my Filson wool blanket, my 6 point Hudson Bay wool blanket and my 8 point Hudson Bay wool blanket.... yeah... someone at some charity shop just got a thousand quid for free!
@@BravingTheOutDoors sorry to hear that bud
Wanted to love the Carinthia defense 4, ordered it from Varustulecka and i couldnt do the darn thing up . Fits my son though. Beautiful bag, just not wide enough at the shoulders.
@@craigbutler623 nooo are there expander panels ?
@RedBranchBushcraft I wish! This is a beautiful sleeping bag! I did order the Canadian arctic kit with two down bags and I can get that one zipped up. As you said about down, if it gets wet it isn't good , but seems very warm for the Canadian winter .
They do come in L, XL, XXL. You just need a bigger size.
@@RedBranchBushcraft nope they aren't expanders. have the same issue, i just bairly fit in it. shoulders, not tummy. and i already gotten the large version (i'd defenetly need a shoulder-width of 95cm to be comfortable in them)
@craigbutler623 excellent stuff
Dutch or British army all the way for average bushcrafters- or poor people like me. 😛
Lol, good gear
@RedBranchBushcraft does the job. When you doing monthly membership to the channel?
Edit: I'm an eejit. Never knew what JOIN meant.
@learn2rideVIDEOS I set the up last year, not really sure how it works as no one ever joined! I thought I'd be a millionaire 😂😂. If enough join I'll do members live streams and give aways, pass on the gear I get to test etc
I can afford an expensive bag but I can’t see the point so stick to my British Army bag. No way something is worth 6-7 times what I paid for mine when it is almost identical. My advice is save the money and spend it on gaining knowledge and skills.
@nothinglessness good point
I’ve got the orange bag and it’s builte proof then got the Brit army system only because I couldn’t get the rest of the orange stuff but all are great Brit system only cost £65 this Xmas
Excellent stuff
The best sleeping bag is the one that you have when you need it.
Sorry, just couldn't resist paraphrasing that saying about survival knives. This bon mot, while not untrue, is useless when you try to select a sleeping bag ( or a knife) to make your life easier & longer! The selection you presented makes sense.
Back on topic: My favorite bushcraft sleeping bag is the helikon-tex swagman roll that I use like a quilt. Combined with an insulated sleeping pad (R4.8) and ( when it is below ca 12c ) the jerven extreme. That setup has worked for me down to ca -3c ( depends on wind & general exposure ).
Downside: the complete system is expensive & heavy!
Advantage: multiuse, adaptable, good camouflage.
Excellent stuff
Stihl frosty
Good man Bud
Hey Wooly! I like your reviews and all the stuff you are sharing! What do you think about the snugpak elite 4 and as an inner the snugpak junglebag? All the very best from Austria 🇦🇹🤠👍🏕🔥
Snugpak make good sleeping bags , everything else is not so great . If it fits I'd say go for it
Yeah it fits me and with its EPS system, I have enough room even with my "heavier load". Thank you for your rating. All the best Bernd 🤠👍🏕🔥@@RedBranchBushcraft
