Hey /k/, I don't really like sleeping in regular sleeping bags since they restrict movement too much for my taste. So now I thought about using two poncho liners and their straps to make some sort of XXL sleeping bag.
Is that enough for comfy outdoor sleeping in the summer half of the year? (western Euro btw). Mostly in tents, under tarps and in the bed of my truck.
Never owned a poncho liner so I got no clue how thick and warm they are.
By the way: I don't really undress when I'm camping, just removing shoes and perhaps socks. Guess that should give additional insulation just in case
how about u lose some weight fr LOL
It's not about weight. It's about me sleeping like a marionette who's strings have been cut. Legs and arms everywhere. I can't stand the forced position in regular sleeping bags.
I do know that a sleeping bag has to have as few unused space as possible for maximum warmth, but I can't really sleep when I feel like wrapped in saran
>I thought about using two poncho liners and their straps to make some sort of XXL sleeping bag.
I slept several sub-zero (Celsius) nights in such a combination. It wasn't really cozy but I didn't freeze either. So I guess you should be more than good in the summertime.

Yep, I'm married to such a person
just get a double sleeping bag you fattie
This.
You can get most sleeping bags with left and right opening so you can join two together.
You may also get a nice blanket. If you don't undress, this may be the best solution.
As for the temperature, it depends on a lot of factors, no simple answer.
I've never used a poncho liner either, but it looks like they're intended to be used as/with a sleeping bag. In general, I'd say if your mat is good enough, the sleeping bag is less important for warmth, especially in summer Yurrp. Breathability, ease of washing, volume and weight may be factors to consider, especially weight if you're hiking.
You can use a Woobie as a summer blanket no problem. There's not even a real need to get two of them to turn them into sleeping bags.
Just make sure you get an issued woobie, not some chinkonese crap.

Seriously: What kind of moron spends so much money on a quilted plastic blanket?
Do what you want. Be happy.

Fricking off topic
Excuse me: But since when is military issued stuff (here: Woobies) off topic on /k/? Did I miss something?
Right now we got at least half a dozen threads up which do nothing but discuss the Ukraine from a political point of view. If such shit is kept up, a thread about fricking woobies sure ain't off topic.
On a personal note may I say that I call you a donkey molesting queer, Anon.

Get the frick
, you fricking moronic eurocuck
>>/k/ - weapons
Hey, homo, in case you haven't noticed: /k/ has had threads about general .mil equipment since the dawn of time.
You wanna make the same fuzz in comms threads or GQ?
Get the frick off this board you tourist motherfricker
Dumb homosexual, a /k/ way of talking about ponchos would be asking about their military history or something, as po chos aren't exclusive to the military, and have seen far more use outside the nilitary than within.
Asking which one fits your fat eurotrash ass, isn't /k/ related in the slightest, especially since the only ones that would fit all you're cellulite would be non-milspec ones.
Tell me, Anon, where did the overweight euro touch you?
Not the PP, hence why im mad
Not OP but stop sperging up the board and take your meds

Fricking awesome, like /k/ is cluttered enough right now with off topic spam.
Fix your tastes. Standard is standard for a reason. moronic contraptions are moronic.
I advise making your own out of lightweight ripstop material and an insulation like apex 5oz or apex 7.5oz (what I used here). You use it like a quilt where your sleeping pad is your ground insulation and the quilt covers every other angle. The materials were about $50 for this project and it's substantially warmer than any sleeping bag at the same weight. Commercial versions of the same product are $200+. Surp woobies are outclassed by this style.

It wasnt hard to find him
use a cot and a blanket
frick sleeping pads. frick sleeping bags. cots and wool blankets are where it's at.
Wool blankets are nice, but i feel a synthetic blanket dries faster, is lighter, insulates better and has lower volume. If it's made from robust ripstop nylon fabric, it even might be more robust.
I tried a Thermarest Honchoponcho, a bit short to use it as a blanket, very flimsy material, bad insulation, loose threads and very loud. It had brushed polyester on the inside, which is nice on the skin. 120€.
I also tried a Naturehike hooded poncho liner, the same, but worse in all aspects. 60€.
Last i tried a Miltec chinesium poncho liner, which i kept. It's made from very silent polyester, is ok on the skin, has ok insulation and is silent. The Miltec is a bit longer, perfect for my 1,87m. Loose threads should be expected, it's 25€.
Ok for summer, in fall and autumn you could just use two and double them over you. No need to have something under you if you have a proper sleeping pad. In the summer i use the Bundeswehr foldable one, it can be augmented by using leaf litter below.
Also it's available in many fashionable camos, as well as classy and timeless colors such as herbal olive and panther black.
Man, go perform your commercial some place else.
