Cholla Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This was marketed to me as a cowboy bedroll, perfect for trail rides. I have since found out it is a Swedish military sleeping bag that is very popular for preppers. The attraction is that plant material can be shoved in between the inner and outer shells. I don't know if it has been used or just stored. The outside is canvas and the inside looks like felt. From the Internet: These bags are called bårsäck. You can fill this bag with whatever insulation you might find; hay, spruce, leaves.... These bags can be used to carry casualties off to get medical attention, like insulated stretchers. $35 plus shipping. Or FTF near Prescott, AZ. NOTE: THIS IS HEAVY, BULKY CANVAS. IT WEIGHS 17 POUNDS AND FITS IN A 16x13x13 BOX. It will be roughly $40-$60 to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Is there any insulation in it now, or is it just the canvas outer with the felt inner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No insulation in it. It is just the canvas shell and a felt liner. I would say not a cold weather item as is. A large mummy bag may fit as insulation. It is very cowboy-ish but not something to use backpacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looks well made. Get a couple of Poncho Liners. They are worm. Slept on the ground plenty of times, with one wraped around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
