Description

  Roomy semi-rectangular bag; 25° F

  For those nippy desert nights when counting shooting stars is all you have to do, the semi-rectangular Western Mountaineering Alder MF is your bag of choice. Roomy enough for comfort and warm enough so you won't wake with a chill before dawn, the Alder has a 62 inch shoulder girth and a 46 inch foot girth. The Alder has a zipper along the side to mate with mummy bags and a zipper around the foot so that it can be opened flat as a comforter or zipped to Western's Summer Coupler (sold separately) to make a bed for two.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, this 25 degree sleeping bag is made by hand in San Jose, California. Their down is sourced from free-range mother geese who are never live-plucked or force-fed.

Footprint sold separately.

Everything You Know About Lightning Safety in the Backcountry Is Wrong
  About a decade ago, when I first learned about risk management in my college outdoors club, I was taught that assuming the “lightning position” was the best way to protect yourself in a thunderstorm (spoiler alert: it does bugger-all). If you managed to avoid this particular tidbit of backcountry lore, allow me to provide a refresher: the lightning position involves...
