RE: [pct-l] Blue Kazoo

["Reynolds, Tom" <reynolds@ilan.com>]

I have two (2) Blue Kazoos. They are quite warm and well made. Plus I
purchased them on special for about $150 each. For someone on a budget they
are a good choice. However, they are not in the league of Marmot and
Feathered Friends Bags.

In figuring what kind of bag you want, also figure what kind of tent you are
planning to carry. When my wife and I switched to a much smaller 4 season
tent [From a Stephenson 3rs to a Stephenson 2rs] we also switch to a lighter
bag [A Marmot rated @ 10-15 to a Marmot rated @ 20-25]. Our logic was that
the smaller tent would warm up quicker and be generally warmer. This proved
to be true. We were actually warmer at freezing temperatures [Frozen water
and ground in the AM] than in our previous bag and larger tent.
