Anyway to keep sleeping bag attached to thermarest? Has anyone come up with a method for securing the sleeping bag to the thermarest so they stay together?

Sort of - Sierra Designs have sleeping bags with hooks for thin bungee cords on the bottom of their bags. Obviously these cords would go around a therma rest and keep it in place. Big Agnes on the other hand has a sleve on the bottom of its bags where-in you slide a sleeping pad. Neither solution though is for a bag you already have...

When completely/thoroughly heated mine has stayed warm for 30-45 minutes but i put a folded towel over the thera-beads while using it to help hold the warmth in! I also put my thera-beads in a flannel pillow case as its cover....works great!!! Love my thera-beads works fabulous! I really think the nice thick towel helps hold the warmth in!! Good luck!!!

I have not tried to remove it yet...but I have a fluffy blanket in there for my daughter and she sleeps through the night - hope that helps. I will see if I can detach the headrest tonight (now I am curious)

Haven't had any trouble with that. Love the units, as a matter of fact. Bags I felt were a bit flimsy so bought a second set of real good ones. Would hate to be out camping and have one of the bags rip so a spare set is always a good idea anyway. We use the bags that came with the set as a backup.

You might be able to do that if your backpack is large enough to fit it in. It might take up more room than you think. It will roll up to about 8 inches or so and you could fasten it to the top of your backpack with some string, small bunji cords or leather shoe laces etc. that way you will have room at the bottom of your backpack for the sleeping bag. It is fairly light and won't interfere with the stuff inside your bp.

As previously mentioned it is right or left while you are lying on it. You should also be aware that unlike other sleeping bags, this one doesn't open completely flat. So I think if you have a right and left hand bag, you might be able to zip them together. I cannot confirm this as I only have two right hand bags myself.

You can take a regular plug in heating pad and wrap it in and leave it there for 10-15 minutes (just watch if of course). It will take on the heat. You can also put the pad on top of the headache hammock as long as it is no too hot and use it directly that way. I too had this issue and had to improvise but contacted the creators of the device and this is what they told me to do. Good luck.

No, it will not stay up. I tried teaching my Mini Aussie rescue how to "burrow in" by luring with tiny treats (and he's a smart lil pup, does great at agility and is incredibly fast @ figuring out the dog-puzzle stuff I give him) but no go. I ended up having to leave it mostly-unzipped, wait til he hops in, then come over and zip it up because he quickly falls asleep from the coziness around him. Planning to head to a craft store to find a way to Velcro-attach some sort of semi-rigid-but-flexible strap around the opening so he doesn't need to depend on me to get snuggled.

If you bought two of these, yes, it's a zip up. I can't say it will connect to a sleeping bag you already have because the zipped might be different.

Hi William. I own one of these. It attaches with 3 straps - two are elastic and one (at the top) is elastic with Velcro. Basically you open up the compartment, slip the bag on the compartment cover, sliding it from the bottom. Then the strap attached to the top of the bag feeds down and attaches to one of the elastic ones with Velcro to keep the bag from sliding down. Works great.

Well, to be honest, it's a hard call. It's a large sleeping bag and perhaps if you rolled it tightly, it just might be able to tuck underneath the main pack. I would go to a camping place store, see if they have a similar sleeping bag and ask if you can roll it up. :) Then get it on Amazon.

I don't know why your having this problem. I have never experienced this issue. It can be stabilized though. Tie a rope around the frame and attach each end to the end of the wood in the hammock itself. I have seen this work for those that tend to roll out when sleeping in the hammock.

I use a bungy cord to hold it. Take the cord and wrap it around the bottom or the tour kit. Just spent 5 days and 950 miles last week this way

I don't own this bag but am considering buying for my 14 year old. I have many years of outdoor experience and temp ratings on bags are kinda like person ratings on tents...they don't quite hold true. For camping at those temps my suggestion is for you to put a light weight fleece sleeping bag inside it and you'll be comfy cozy on even the coldest of nights. Just saw some Coleman brand fleece bags on Amazon for about $20. This solution gives you more flexibility with the temp range of the bag because you can remove it for sleeping in warmer temps.

No, because there is a little res plastic thingy on the zipper...I'm assuming so the zipper won't get stuck. But I will say they are awesome sleeping bags. I got one for both me and my husband for camping in michigan and they were perfect! :)

I prefer my sleeping bag to be inside my pack, so I put it at the bottom of the pack. I then line my pack with a heavy duty garbage bag and pack the rest of my gear. When I want to access my sleeping bag I just pull out the garbage bag containing my other gear.

Joseph and Danny, when putting it back in the bag, don't try to roll it. Literally start with a corner and just stuff it in. Works much better. It's even reccommended on the teton website regarding putting it back in the bag.
