I believe the guys on Brokeback Mountain used the Coleman Butt****er 2000 series backpack. They can be a pain in the ass to carry though.

I just have to say in this event......
Boar semen. |
First decision is what are the lowest temperatures you think you'll be backpacking in? Then decide how good you are at erecting a dry tent (do you need to go synthetic or down). Then visit Campmor or Sierra Trading Post online and get a name brand bag.

I use a synthetic mummy bag for backpacking. It's smaller, warmer, and fits in a small bag. When I take the camper I use a down rectangular bag. It's more roomy and since it's inside I don't worry about it getting wet.
Tips: Don't leave it stuffed in the bag. Take it out at camp asap to let the fill expand and form the air pockets that keep you warm. Take it out once you get home also. Get a good sleeping pad if you're sleeping on the ground. The ground can freeze your ass pretty quick with nothing insulating you (if it's cold) since you'll be compressing all the fill with your body against the ground. Don't sleep in the clothes you arrived at camp in. There's a tiny bit of moisture in your clothes that can keep you cold at night. Change your clothes or go nekkid. There's a thousand bags out there to choose from. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/s...g%20bag&eMode= |

If you don't bring a sleeping pad when you backpack, you deserve to be eaten by bears.
