    Placing emergency blanket under sleeping pad

    What was your bag rated to? I'm assuming that if it was rainin so it was above freezing. Disappointing it didn't work for you.

    Is a Kifaru Timberline 2 big enough for an AK sheep hunt?

    I use the timberline 1. Think it's 7400 plus whatever the guide lid is. You aren't giving yourself much room for the meat/hide/head. I guess it all depends how full it is going in.
