I use a nylon sleeping bag and that could be part of the problem. But a buddy of mine in my troop has a cotton bag and he said hes never had that problem but in winter he is cold quite often. Because iv seen both kinds of bags i think ill try the recomended one by the website. I have had this problem alot to. I use a nylon sleeping bag and that could be part of the problem.

Buy some of that shelf liner (mesh looking stuff) and wrap a section around the pad and tape the ends together. Sleeves on bags don't really work and lots of bag manufacturers gave up on that idea a long time ago. People toss and turn and often times when they roll the pad ends up in peculiar postions. I'm a scouter who worked for years for one of the largest sleeping bag manufacturers in the US - your advice is generally very sound about outdoor gear. Your external/internal advice was right on.The Boy's Life site is great, wish it was around in the 50's and 60's when I was a younger kid.
