Re: [RC] heating small space - Barbara McCrary

We have Polarfleece liners that go inside the bags.  They have zippers so
that they can also be used as light bags or unzipped for use as blankets.

Body heat. Works great. If you're married, try to bring your husband
along. If not, get married and try to bring your husband along. ;-)

Barring that, go to a sporting goods shop and get a very good sleeping
bag rated for very cold weather. Get one that's better than what you
think you'll need. Cause you can always unzip it or use it as a
blanket, but harder to warm up a sleeping bag that isn't rated for the
weather.

And even better is to put an extra layer of insulation around the
bag, to keep out the dampness and prevent conductive losses where you
smush down the bag insulation with your weight.  A polarfleece
blanket over the bag and especially a sheepskin (skin side to the
ground or matress) will work wonders to improve the comfort level.
