    Sleeping bag... From Costco!

    I went to the states tonight to do some grocerie shopping and to get gas for the car. Went all the way to Costco in Bellingham walked up and down a few isles and noticed at the end of one some sleeping bags, and I needed a new sleeping bag! So I walk over and read the bag says its good for 25F or 3.9C my calculations as well as my conversion chart show 25F as -18C so I bought it. 39.99 Yankee doodle dollars. It's sweet I took it out to test it out on my floor and it's big enough that I fit in it comfortably (6'1") which isn't common. Bonus is it has a memory foam pillow that has an inflatable backing! All weighing in at 3lbs.
    Called a sleep cell, has vents that zip shut! Comes in green, blue, and red.

    If your looking for a bag and are in the vicinity check em out!
    If it cant be done with one shot, it shouldn't be done.

    Time for a new smartphone app! Hmmm..... perhaps a little research would have helped hey Livewire! 25F does indeed equal -3.889C or as it reads on the tag, -3.9C!

    Go back and get a second one, some long johns, and a Kirkland snow suit if you are gonna curl up in it at -18 celsius....or at least make sure you're inside a heaated cabin in this bag if it gets that cold.

    Well I'm not sure why the conversion chart iPhone app was outta wack last night or why my calculations show different numbers than what they showed last night.... Reviewed my conversion formula for F-C and it is as follows: F -32 *5/9 = C
    If it cant be done with one shot, it shouldn't be done.
