[pct-l] sleeping bag for 2

[bodhisattvavow at hotmail.com (Hotmail)]

You might take a look at the Backcountry Blanket from Nunatak
(http://www.nunatakusa.com/Sleeping_Bag_Back_Country_Blanket.htm).  If
Barnyard and Shamu's Trainer are out there listening they would have more to
say about this particular product.
Peace and Love,
Matt
