Don't bother bud, the best, (and cheapest), I have found throughout my many years in Scouts, is an ex-army arctic bag, (soldier 95 pattern), for around £230 - £40 off fleabay plus a goretex bivi-bag, (again Soldier 95), for £15-£35, again fleabay is the warmest sleep system I have found, for added warmth, a silk liner will toast your nads so to speak.

At around £90 all in, this is far cheaper, and to my mind, far superior than any Snugpak offering. I have one or two mates who are ex-forces & every one of them has regretted getting rid of their arctic gear since leaving the army.

Many of the 58 pattern's have bunched feathers & if they get wet, they are an absolute mare, hence opting for the super improved modern efforts (as well as coming with, and being made for a stuff sack)

I just roll up at a guardroom show them a 'card' and use the PRI shop. Cool

No plan change if you guys want to stick with the other site, they are driving the same lanes and have booked pitches thats all  Smile
I suppose the only change of plan would be the campsite, it all depends on numbers as I wouldnt let people miss out  Wink

I ended up getting a pair of Snugpak sleeping bags.   £29.99 each. Capable of being zipped together!  Not to military standard but comfort down to -2deg C. and
OK down to -7deg C!
Adequate!  The average 'fridge sits at +4deg C!
