    I was always comfortable in the winter; even in MA & ME.
    I sleep in my underwear also and was still comfortable.

    You want a sleeping bag capable of keeping you warm when there is no other heat source.
    Be prepared. JMHO
    Not hard to find -40 in Mn, ND, even Wisconsin it’s possible

    So did I. I bought two of the same size and I zipper them together to make a huge bag. Easy to wash and they're still good 6 years later. Cheap Coleman at Walmart.

    I’m looking at sleeping bags that are rated for sub zero as I want to be comfortable no matter where the mercury is at.

    Plus if an end-of-the-world situation happens you may have to make your own shelter. No APUs will be available in the apocalypse!

    Global warming is real; don't waste money on an expensive sleeping bag.
