I have a cheap, but decent 3 season bag, I think, with a 20 degree rating. It's a little heavy at 3.5 lbs, and I also have an arctic mummy bag that my brother gave me when he got out of the Marines. This bag is rated at something like a ridiculous -40, and weighs a ton. I use it if I'm gonna do some serious winter camping.
After reading a lot of reviews I ordered a Snugpak Merlin 3. I haven't used it yet though as I had it shipped home as I'm currently in the sandbox. If you do search "snugpak sleeping bag review" there are a few good links that will pop up.
USMarine,
Have you been over to http://marines.togetherweserved.com/usmc/index.jsp
Come on over and visit.
I've got a half-dozen. Three military bags, from the large heavy one like what eddie C mentions to a lt. wt. military mummy bag that compresses down to a size about the size of a softball.![]()

Correction!
Wool blankey and a piece of canvas.
or
Mil. green wool blankey and my poncho.
So there.
Once I slept outside with a thin cotton sheet and a beach towel. I don’t recommend it.
That was this year too.

Cabelas 10 degree I got about 20 years ago.Still a great bag.
Actually I did… but nothing weird lol, just keeping warm, you see me and my cousin who is also a girl btw ended up sharing the sheet because there weren’t enough sleeping bags to go around…no one else would share.
It was so cold I couldn’t sleep all night. It sucked…but I don’t regret going because other then that I had a lot of fun.

For hunting fall/winter use, Woods Fairbanks 9.5, summer: a Woods tapered 2.5 or an acrylic "indian" blanket or fleece wrap around.
To thyne self be true
I still got my U.S.Army extreme cold weather sleeping bag that I use in the winter months (if my son don't take it from me) but spring, summer, and fall I don't use one. I use a U.S. Army shelter half to make hammock.
There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.
As you roll it up push out the air, if that don't work then do as warman87 stated. It may just be too big to make 12 inches (that's what she saidlol)

np they are in the camping section and are cheap
I have an old blue down sleeping bag from my folks many years ago. I don't know the brand but it's a mummy and looks like a Marmut. That's all I know.![]()

I use 2 different mummy bags depending on expected conditions one is very light and down the other is quallofill and good to about 15'
When I climb I usually carry a down bag (Western Mountaineering Apache) because it's light and compressible. The problem with down is that it's useless when wet (or even damp) so you have to be careful with it. When I drag a sled in the winter where weight and space isn't an issue I bring a -20 degree synthetic (Wiggy's Ultima Thule). I've used it down to -40 without a problem. It is heavy though (5 lbs) and doesn't compress worth a damn especially when it's cold.
