Okay to use inside a sleeping bag for extra warmth or under a blanket next to my body, but not touching my body?

Yes it's ok to use inside a sleeping bag or under the blankets when you are camping, I try to keep them from touching part of the body. They won't burn you as for as I have used them, but they can get hot up against bare skin. Have used them for years this way and have not had a problem, and you stay toasty warm.

Yes I have done both and once on a very cold night in the tent I put two down by my feet and they kept me warm all night.

Absolutely. I put one at the bottom of my bag and one in my pillow case where the top of my head is and I stay toasty warm

I use them on my back...I have a t-shirt between my skin and the pack...so yes I would use them in a sleeping bag up against you with a piece of clothing between...

I love the bag. It will definitely keep you warm and cozy. I haven't used mine for backpacking only car to campsite tent camping. I typically take a lightweight hammock and thermal blanket rolled up in my sleeping pad when backpacking.

It was too large to fit comfortable under or on the side of a backpack. I had to strap it to the back of my backpack with a bungee cord. It's really not meant for backpacking, more for car camping. That said, it's an awesome sleeping bag and kept me warm through cold alaskan nights. It comes with a sack that you can stuff it in.

sorry its taken so long to get back to you I don't use this e-mail often but the answer if you have the room I would recommend a ground pad, the bag is great it will keep you very warm even in sub zero temps. hope this helps

Unfortunately I'm not real familiar with the camping conditions that area. All I could say is that if you don't plan on camping in below zero weather then I would get the zero degree sleeping bag. If you were on the verge of 0 degrees and a little below I think an extra blanket would keep you plenty warm.

i think you probably could. but if you did one side of the bag you would have to lay on the zipper. also the second head flap thing would be on the top position of the bag, and all up in your face. you could make it work but you might just be better of with a normal shape sleeping bag.

I use it as a sleeping bag, and I put a blanket on top at night for warmth. I also use it while I watch TV. Sometimes I take it on trips to use in hotels.

I can imagine a tight fit if there was a lot of cooperation and no tossing and turning, depending on your body sizes. It would also have to be absolutely *cold* for two people to generate body heat in this bag or you would have a very warm night. The bag is warm, spacious and comfy for 1, but I would have a hard time recommending two people sharing it comfortably without zipping a second bag together.

Yes, I used one for my sleeping bag and it worked well. I would measure the diameter and length of your bag when rolled up or stuffed to get the correct size.

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

I use it as a sleeping bag liner. It keeps my bag clean and allows me to layer for comfort. It adds warmth just like silk long under wear add warmth.

No. This sleeping bag is large enough for two people as is. It's also so warm!

Definitely not for a sleeping bag... I would say its good for temperatures 20's (with proper clothing) and up but its best for blocking the wind and rain. So a thick blanket underneath be perfect with Mambe over to keep heat in and stay dry too.

Yes, I think you could use it at the top of your bed as you could always turn it off if you were getting too warm. I don't like an electric blanket as it is too warm for me. I was very pleased with the smaller bed warmer to help keep my feet warm. I also have arthritis issues in my shoulders and plan to have total shoulder replacement surgery on the 21st of this month. It was suggested that you could place it behind your shoulders while sitting in a recliner, but I didn't try that method. It is a very nice heating pad that can be used for many other purposes.

MAYBE OF YOU SLEEP NAKID WITHOUT A SLEEPING BAG, Ive only used this in the cold month so I really do not know. I would imagine they cannot penetrate the liner & sleeping bag & clothes.

I am so sorry, i just saw this. I have not really worn it under anything, but my guess is; not a good idea unless rather loose. The wrap itself is amazingly compact and efficient; but does add girth. I may be impractical for other reasons including the cold/heat is only effective for a while, then you'll just have a bulky wrap not really doing anything unless you swap the packs.

Your comfort is probably more dependent on how warm you sleep, what you wear to sleep, and the sleeping pad you use. I used this sleeping bag in stormy 30 degree weather in Anchorage, Alaska with a NeoAir pad, lightweight thermals, fleece headband and socks and found myself to be quite warm. However, when I used it with a basic foam cell pad, I was significantly chillier. I'd definitely recommend using it in your back yard before taking it out for real. Good luck!
