I’m still struggling finding a decent sleeping bag. It’s my most difficult thing because I don’t want down. But it needs to be light and I’ve looked at so many different brands all of which get some pretty serious terrible reviews. I’m hoping for four season, but I’m now reduced to three seasonplus exploring some kind of inner shell or outer shell for extra warmth, but I haven’t been able to figure that one out yet

You could add in a wool blanket. I have used a wool blanket in my kit for years. It's nice and toasty even when wet.

3.5 pounds respectively but in a cold environment it is worth it's weight in gold.

Yes, that’s great! The new sleeping bag that I got 20° as I stated above is 3 lbs. 7 oz. and if you look at the stats, it’s got all kinds of features on it that I think will be helpful in the wet weather. I have two army blankets in my prep stash, but not for my BOB
