North Face Snowshoe Sleeping bag/ Cabelas XPG Tent

[tecumseh]

I tested my North Face Snowshoe sleeping bag I got some years ago this weekend to see how warm I would stay in extreme cold weather in a Cabelas's XPG ultra lite 2 man tent while coyote hunting at deer camp this weekend.

The bag is rated for 0 and the coldest it's gotten while using so far was 25 at night while hunting in Colorado and I had no issues with staying warm. Friday and Saturday night it got down around 15 both nights and with a sleeping bag liner and wearing thermal underwear I Stayed nice and warm and the tent had no issues with condensation what so ever.

I used the tent during turkey season last year and it poured rain two nights in a row and it stayed perfectly dry with no condensation issues.

If nothing else I know I won't be getting cold and wet out west this year!

Great report. Those are two items which really make a long day hunting much nicer. Do you have a picture of your tent all set up?

Thanks for the report!

I'll take a few the next time I have it set up. I hope it never gets that cold while hunting out west, but at least I'll know I have some place dry and warm!

I'd rather find out here at home than 1,600 miles away at 10,000 feet or so if something's gonna work or not.

Nothing quite so miserable as spending the night out when you are wet and cold. A good sleeping bag and tent are priceless under such conditions.

I have the Cabela's XPG ultra light 3 man tent. I have only used it once on an August high country archery back packing trip. We had about two hours of torrential down pour and the tent stayed dry. I too am very happy with it.
