    Awesome video! I always assumed that 'sleep system' was a term used ironically, as I never have any actual sleep, while my wife's snoring I'm worried that there's a serial killer walking round outide the tent.

    Love your videos. But, I have to disagree with you on what is the best sleeping system. I have owned the Snugpack Special forces sleeping system., Probably their best system. The one thing I hated was the zippers. The zippers on the Snugpack, for the lack of a better word, suck. I think the Carinthia Defense 4 in combo with the Tropin bag are far better... primarily because of the rapid deployment zippers. In fairness, you are correct. Carinthia is expensive. BUT, just look for the British Army modular sleep system. It is an exact replica of the Carinthia sleep system and I was able to find both pieces ( the Defence 4 and the Tropen bag) new for $125. Far cheaper than the Carinthia or Snugpack AND the British modular still have the AWESOME rapid deployment zippers that Carinthia uses. The Brit bought a copywrite permission with Carinthia to copy their bags. For all that haven't tried them, you should. You will never use another sleeping system.

      Hi 👋
      I’d love to say that snugpak are the best but the British Army system and Artic bag blow snugpak away for warmth, quality and price! The only negative is a little extra weight.

    My first sleeping bag was Elite 1, still have it. I love how spacious it is when expanded. Now i try to avoid asian made stuff as much as i can so i bought SF1 to compare with Defence 1. SF is definitely better made than Elite, but the zipper and general feel of the bag don't do favourably when compared to Carinthia in, my opinion.
    Agreed for most part on the mats. Savotta is 100% reliable and rugged, and when my safety depends on it i always take it, but thanks to recent back surgery, i need a bit more comfort and after few disasters with Klymit and snugpak self inflating, now i use S2S ether light. I don't trust it, and i wouldn't want to have to rely on it only, but in summer on its own, and in colder seasons on top of the savotta, it is just as comfortable as my bed at home and weighs almost nothing. In this instance my fetish for rugged indestructible gear is overwritten by pure comfort.
    Would love to see your opinion on biwi bags. I use my Observer Plus in all seasons, and it has always served me well. Also have carinthia's sleeping bag cover biwi, but I can't sleep with fabric on my face so I hardly use it.

    You've made a good point about inflating mats that defends itself:). There are very good and expensive inflating mats with high R value that will manage to keep you out of very cold ground - but you have to graduate a 'baby sitting' training for them to last. No option to sleep in them with clothes - buttons, zippers can easy rub the shell and poke. Those are not multipurpose. I had to take additional kneeling pad to sit by the fire - one, because of the fire - heat, sparks... And the other is that those are not for sitting - it does not work well when most of the weight concentrates on a small area - eventually welding will give up. Those are not for high-speed-low-drag kind of adventures

    I use sleeping bag with a undermat that can be used as a stretcher. It has a foam mat inside (removable) that I covered with mylar thermalplanket. It is nice and warm even on a cold ground. Also have bivvybag, have not got a time to test it out. But should get out there in the near future to test this out in snow.

    Love Snugpak stuff, the Jungle Bag with built in bug net and wide bottom is excellent in the summer. I also use the Jungle Blanket which is useful and their Poncho. But the product that's so simple but very effective is their Antarctic Mat, I use it like swag roll and offers good insulation. I always end up adding breath to my self inflate mats, I have few different ones.

    No one thing will keep you warm. 1) separate yourself from the cold ground. 2) separate yourself from the atmosphere. 3) have a heat source. 4) have dry baselayer to change into. 5) eat a warm meal before sleep. 6) cover with something warm, like sleeping bag or wool blanket. It's not rocket science. Your dog can help keep you warm. Also, a thermo-reflective sleeping pad cover works great for me. It slips over your sleeping pad and has aluminium coating that reflects the heat back to your body. Mine is from _"2GoSystems"_ and best money I've ever spent. Super light and It'l protect your sleeping pad from puncture but can be used with any sleeping pad technology.

    Down to what temperatures do you use the Salvotta pad??.. I've been looking at one, but as it's only rated 2 r value that's not much.. cheers Gareth

    • @Survivaland

      Used it as low as -10 with no issue. Regarding r, for example klymit lied about their ratings so..

      @garethdwatkins Před rokem

      @@Survivaland Ok thank you for your reply.. I've been using a Thermarest Ridgerest which also has an r value of 2, and on top an inflatable because they are much more comfortable...(Yes I know they can puncture easily... which is why I only use cheap ones) in fact I carry 2 Decathlon inflatables, incase I puncture one.. they are cheap, very comfortable, and only as big as a water bottle when packed up...
      With the same r value I guess the Savotta is not going to give any better insulation than the Ridgerest...
      Great videos.. and love your dog.. a Malinois I guess, I have 2 Tervuren, which are also Belgian shepherds but with long fur...

    Is the Savotta pad a self inflating one?

    • @patrykogorek1607
      @patrykogorek1607 Před rokem +1

      No, it is not. Thick foam 1,2 cm with nylon on one side, and rubberized material on the other. Savotta (manufacturer) does not put an R value, but some youtube guys says it's R value between 4 -5. This is a mat firstly ordered by Finnish Defence Forces so it has to be robust. It is comfortable as well, and with additional 25 cm nylon sides it prevents from carrying additional ground sheet. Can't go wrong with it. It is a big package though, so choose what fits your hiking style
