Layering. Inexpensive walmart bag then get a zippered fleece blanket bag ($15) that fits inside. Fleece washes and dries quickly and keeps outer bag from getting stinky.
RD97, IluvCATS and Hegemeister Thank this. -
Keep some wide candles in the truck. Of course you would need to be careful. But as a last resort, they will provide some reliable warmth and light. They are relatively inexpensive, and easy to store.
Just one more backup to help mitigate a critical situation.Last edited: Oct 2, 2018

2 cheaper bags can be doubled up when it is really cold; keep one rolled up 'just in case' one doesn't work...
Polar-guard is a great filling material, I have a North Face 'cat's meow' polar guard mummy that is 25 - 30 years old.it packs tight and is washable without any of the problems like down, in a life threatening situation it will keep you warn when it is wet...
I bought it at Hermans [We were Sports] for $119.00 and the now go for 2x that much but it's been backpacking, multiple trips to hunting camp and survived two daughters sleepovers...you do get what you pay for.IluvCATS Thanks this. -
I would recommend putting your effort into finding a company that won't expect you to sit in a broken down truck for days to avoid paying for your hotel.
You aren't going to be sleeping outside in a tent. You MIGHT be in a wind-proof truck sleeper during very cold weather.Just passing by Thanks this. -
Or just get either of the bags I suggested ^ and be comfortable and happy that u spent more for quality. I’m way happy.
UturnGirl Thanks this.
