My sleeping system I use. I use a Military extreme cold weather bag with 5"thick foam inside. This has been my goto since 2007!
I swear, those Army guys got that worked out. Chicago winters aren't for the feignt of heart, but they taught me some stuff.

Yea man, I depend on that bag with my life. I trust anything military. I also use a marine issue combat tent. Now, it doesnt get Chicago cold when i goto my yearly trip in the Arkansas mtns but, low to mid 20's is still chilly. You have to know how to breathe when you sleep. Theres a bit of an art to it. So you dont get ice crystals in your lungs.

Yeah, getting older is not for sissies.
Have to exercise just to undo the damage from too much exercise..
You know, when i was in my 30's and 40's I camped in remote places by myself, regularly. Now I'm older, and married, It almost scares me to death. Hate to leave my new wife a widow because of my arrogance...

I have a good friend who was a former competitive bodybuilder, and has been a personal trainer for 30 years. Dude knows his stuff.
We have well thought out aging strategies.
